meeting with a rep­ resentative from Lancashire County Council Highways Department and showed him all the problem spots around the village and gave him a wish list of jobs required to reduce speed­ ing and improve highways safety. One major issue highlighted was the number of HGVs that come through the village. Even along the single road system where the major rebuilding ofPadiham Road is taking place HGVs still go through the very narrow space and are clipping and damaging the new footpath. The parish council would like to see a weight re­ striction to prevent these HGVs coming through Sabden. PC Sally Biggar also at-, tended and pointed out her concerns about safety issues around Sabden Pri­ mary School. The parish council will monitor the situa­ tion and if nothing is done contact the LCC again before Christmas and put highway safety on the January agenda.

The incidence of graffiti in the Watt Street bus shelter had reduced but there is now some in the gents’ toilets even though the toilets are now opened and shut by electronic timer. It was reported that the grass cutting has improved slightly but has not been as good since it was contracted out to a private company earlier this year by the county council. The parish council is to ask for more details about how often and when the contractors come to the village and what their remit is. Couri.
