Andrew Collinson gave an update to Sabden Parish Council on work on the culvert that runs behind the street and under Whal ley Road. He said repair work on the culvert, which had • in the, past caused flooding, had finally been carried out af ter a nine-year wait and it looked like a good job had been done.

Councillors said safety would have to be taken into account but they would look at it and see if any grant money was avail able. Other matters raised in the public part of the meet ing were the issue - of blocked drains on Whalley Road and Padiham Road, and the situation in Padiham Road es pecially was so bad that some residents’ cellars were being flooded with fpiil water. The council said it was aware of this issue and would contact the head of environmental serv ices at Ribble Valley Council. Concern about the mainte nance of the wall and garden at the new flats in Clithe- roe Road was also

Pen tops Work is due to start to repair the damage done to the road around the pen tops and solve the drainage problem that is causing wa ter to flood down onto Pendle Street East. The materials have been delivered and the council is to urge the contractors to do the work as soon as possib, and certainly by the end of June. Ribble Val ley Homes are to be asked to cut the grass and maintain the land opposite Whins Avenue as they how own the site which will be the access area to the new develop ment of social hous ing planned.
