• WE respond to the letter last week (Oc-' tober 14th edition) alleging that we; the Wlialley Ward RVBC councillors, have been “very quiet” about the planning and


; development issues, which Whalley vil­ lage is currently facing. - : v i ■ For the record, in the past few weeks we


=


have been present at and addressed both: public meetings held in Whalley School,


■ which were attended by around 350 resi­ dents where we listened and responded to the views and opinions expressed. We emphasised the great importance'


of replying to the Core Consultation with objective planning reasons, advising what: those reasons may be and explaining that statements such as “they are not welcome' here”, whilst understandable, unfortu­ nately cariy no weight. We have met with the action groups and advised on how to respond to both the


- Core Strategy Proposals and the planning application submitted by Co-op Estates,' together with any other large application which may come foixvard before the Core Strategy Consultation is completed and will continue to with this support.


• ‘ We are working continuously within Ribble Valley Borough Council to ensure that the views of Wlialley residents are fully analysed and considered and to in­ fluence the Core Strategy policy to reflect thoseviews.-


Lancashire County Council about infra­ structure for which they are responsible, especially school places provision, high­ ways and parking, wliich have rightly been raised as key issues in the debate. We have also visited the sites in ques­


Similarly, we are actively lobbying


tion with Nigel Evans MP to fully ap­ praise him of the issues and to engage his support in lobbying Rt Hon Eric Pickles MP to try to enable Ribble Valley to shelve significant applications until the Core Strategy has been finalised. And of course, we both make ourselves available


i at regular surgeries and any other time to respond to the concerns of Whalley resi­ dents and will always continue to do so. As members of the Ribble Valley Bor-


ough Council Planning and Develop­ ment Committee, we both have to keep an open mind on any planning applica­ tions submitted by potential developers to avoid being prevented from voting at the Committee stage. However, we can assure. Whalley residents that we will do everything within our powers to pro­ tect the unique Whalley village heritage which we all value so highly and that we will always work hard on their behalf • :; COUNS JOYCE HOLGATE and

What about our environment?


- lage’s Core Strategy meeting on Septem- ^ her 20th.


. ^ Understandably, much concern was aired from the floor regarding the school’s


■ bourgeoning class sizes, flooding, drains and health care, plus; of course, the pro­ posed high number of additional housing yet I,was a little surprised that less eni-


; phasis was placed on environment; traf- Yplume, its [Dollutants; congestion, the


: dearth of parking facilities. . overriding concern is environmen- '


tal. Whall6y s lack of good, clean, air was ■ given little consideration only because wc" cannot see its pollution, which is there in '•


Jrabundance, and if we could see itwould ' ■be high on the agenda. No concern was ' ^ given to this problem by the council when Calderstone Park was given a shoo-in'■

- AS a Whalley resident I attended the vil- *

i -My concern is that the Gore Strategy for Whalley will just be more Calderstone Park; smoke, mirrors and fudge, with the developers left to do what they do; then

. Much play is made by car maniifactur-.


ers regarding carbon dioxide emissions, yet they studiously avoid the other life- threatening pollutants that spew from traffic in the shape of oxides of nitrogen (NOx), hydrocarbons, diesel particles and carbon monoxide, all copiously invisible, yet this clear soup dumped to filter daily through Whalley’s lungs of all ages show­ ing no undue partiality. • Instead we were fed political theatre


from the top table with talk of “Whal­ ley’s convenient amenities and transport hub”, leaving me to realise that everyday . “amenities and transport” will be our un­


doing for ever, while any representative(s) from our languorously absent Lancashire County Council was remarkably notiee-
