Although they are working often in isolation of oth­ ers in the village, their approach appears to be suc­ cessful suggesting that Sabden may not need a collated programme of ac­ tivities. He thanked Sabden Live who are, in the main, formulating Sab- den’s programme of aetivities for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebration. “Perhaps Sabden is not ready to be a to­ tal village commu­ nity: we in Sabden appear to be happy doing our own thing in isolation of a community pro­ gramme.

Speeding traffic in the village continues to be a problem, the road collapse adjacent to Sabden Bridge and the co­ ordination between council and various bodies to success­ fully complete a major repair was an example of how dif­ ferent organisations O can work together.


Is there a need for a Sabden Youth Fo­ rum to enable their views to be heard?. A Sabden Parish Council website would enable an improved commu­ nication link with residents. The aims and objectives of the Parish Council should be revisited and they should be­ gin to re-establish the Parish Council within the village ®{Jtl to be a link to 3ll that is happening in the village. They should also look at the^ influx of new residents and their integration into the Sabden environ­ ment. He ended by thanking the clerk Angela Whitwell


ver the coming year he suggested some of the areas that need to be consid­ ered are the young people of Sabden and in particular the 12 to 18 year olds.


There has been in­ volvement in the Ribble Valley Bor­ ough Council Core Strategic Planning consultation which proposes to develop a local framework to empower local councils to make their own decisions.


There is a growing opinion that Sabden wishes to remain a village and not be­ come a small town. It has had its quota of new builds over the last 50 years so the council and resi­ dents’ association need to work to­ gether for the ben­ efit of the village.
