■ Whalley Road and a single storey garden room extension at Hobwood House, Wesley Street. Consideration was given to providing a welcome letter/ pack for new resi dents, in light of the new development at Cobden Mill. Calico Homes are prepar ing welcome packs for all their resi dents but said they are happy to include further information provided hy the par ish council. It was agreed the welcome letter written previ ously by Coun. A. Haworth provided useful information and can be incor porated with the next council news letter, due out this month. Considera tion was given to the issue of running water and ice on Simonstone Road. Water is constantly oozing up from the ground close to the entrance to Tree- tops on Simonstone Road and this, cou pled with blocked drains’ on Black Hill and Padiham Road is causing a very dangerous situation when temperatures drop. It was resolved that Peter Finch of Lancashfre County Council’s Highways Dept and County Coun. Albert At kinson of Sabden be contacted im

Ribble Valley Bor ough Council will be advised and also reminded there are still further works to be undertaken. Coun. Shorter re ported that the playground areas had no issues. Bor ough Coun. New mark passed on the following informa tion in his absence. There are still prob lems with large ve hicles negotiating the village due to Sat Nav directions. A planning appli cation regarding a wind turbine for Rattenclough Farm has gone back to the planning author ity. Regarding the Cobden Mill de velopment, he said residents now seem to have forged links with Calico as they are aware of contact details. The allot ments’ association in the village was still searching for suitable land. The chairman, Coun. Calvert, reported on a meeting of the Parish Council Liai son Committee that he attended on be half of Sabden. He said there had been updates on the ash tree dieback, police had spoken about neighbourhood watch issues and the “In the Know’” texting scheme. Sat Nav directions need to be updated to avoid rural roads, and parish councils should inform the borough council of the problems so they can canvas on behalf of all.
