Allotments Members of Read Parish
Council inspected the allot ments last weekend. All the plots are taken at the moment but there is a waiting list of nine.

Some allotments were quite neglected, overgrown with •
grass and weeds. Only a few have not yet
acquired water butts and are reliant on using a hose pipe, which is very expensive for the Parish Council as the water is metered from the tap and must be paid for. Some fenc ing is due to be repaired in the near future.

Parish Council Sabden Parish Council's
summer meeting was chaired by Coun. A Haworth and at
tended by Couns J. Shorter, M. Calvert, K. Eardley, M. Hodds, M. Procter and a member of the public.
A resident had raised
concerns about cars parked on pavements throughout the village, making it difficult for wheelchair users and people with prams and pushchairs. Councillors agreed to check the legality of this with the police. It was noted that the parish council is paying a contractor to mow the verge at the entrance to Black Hill View, which is believed to be Lancashire County Council's responsibility. It was also noted that a number of signs on the approach and within the village are obstructed by vegetation growing around them. The county council will be informed.
Planning An application had been
submitted for discharge of conditions 4 (materials) and 5 (tree planting) of planning consent 3/2011/0695 for land next to Mount Pleasant. There was some confu
sion as to exactly what this discharge was seeking as councillors understood the conditions referred to are ones set when the building is complete. Councillors would rather have the site developed than left untidy. There were no objections
to an amendment to planning consent re the reduction in scale of an extension, blocking up of a proposed door and installation of a window at 129 Whalley Road. An update on the Black Hill
View and Cobden Mill devel opments was given. There are still a number of issues out standing; the developments have not been finished as per the approval. At Black Hill View Himalayan balsam and Japanese knotweed are ram pant even though a large tree was removed to aid control of these. A wall has not been replaced at the entrance. At the Cobden Mill devel
opment, the door canopies are not in keeping with original plans, and also outstanding is planting along the wall opposite the Bowling Club and fencing on the boundary between the development and Falcon House. It was reported that planning officers are aware of these issues. There was still no confir
mation as to when the Victoria Mill application will go before the Ribble Valley planning committee.
Leisure projects Consideration was given to
suitable projects for allocation of Section 106 money provided by developers who have been
allowed to build in the village. Coun. Calvert had looked
into the possibility ofa trim trail around the village and made the following com-

ments: Wooden structures are preferable to metal and the focus would be on fun exercise machines. An appropriate trail could be a cluster of machines where the basket ball hoop is, a cluster near the bowling green on Pendle Street East, another near the football club, a single item on River walk, one on Clitheroe Road opposite Crowtrees, one near Badger Wells, St Nicholas Avenue and back to the Lower Holme, having travelled a cir cular route. The average cost is £1,000 per piece. Coun. Shorter reported
that larger play equipment suitable for older children is approx £50,000 per item. It was also suggested that a multi-purpose sports facility would be well received, with cricket nets and a sharing of facilities at the football club. Coun. Shorter was to discuss with the clubs if shared facili ties was possible. It was agreed the priority is to improve the Holme play area and assist Sabden Football Club C if possible.
Bonfire Councillors voted by four
to two to allow the Holme Committee to hold a bonfire and fireworks display on the Lower Holme field on Satur day November 8th at 6-30pm, on condition that all Health • and Safety rules and regula tions are adhered to, suitable insurance taken out and the site being cleared and turfed soon after the event. Councillors also sug
gested that dry wood should be obtained after last year’s washout. Permission was also
granted for the Holme Com mittee’s Christmas Tree lights switch on and carol concert on Sunday December 7th, at 6-30pm. All voted in favour.
Reports Borough Coun. Ricky
Newmark said the RVBC is fighting to retain the contract for the emptying of green bins and trying to encourage more people to recycle food waste. Coun. Shorter reported a large amount of litter on the park recently.
Resignation Coun. Dean Lindsey had
resigned due to his move from the parish. Thanks had been extended to him for his work as a parish councillor.
