Mothers’Union There was an excellent
attendance at the October meeting of St John’s Mothers’ Union, when speaker Mrs Beryl Thayne entertained her audience with “A Trip Down Memory Lane”. Beryl had been in teach
ing for most of her career and quickly had her audience entertaining each other with their schoolday memories. Members recalled their •
own chijdhood experiences, including the infant class with small iron framed beds to rest on in the afternoons, school milk in bottles and being provided with a straw, wooden desks with lids and ink wells, school dinners, and times , tables recited every morning after assembly. There were very few male teachers in those days and no
teaching assistants. Beryl was thanked by
enrolling member Christine, Verity, and everyone hoped she would visit the Mothers’ Union again veiy soon. Otheritems discussed at
the meeting were prepara tions for the Christmas Tree festival and the Mothers’ Un ion Christmas fair which will be held on Saturday November 29th in St John’s School.

SABDEN
Remembrance Sunday There is a service at
Sabden’s war memorial on the rose gardens in the village centre at 11 am on Sunday. People can lay wreaths and the names of the fallen will be read. Canon Norman Atty, of St Nicholas's Church; will lead the service. Mass at St Mary’s Church will be half an hour later than usual, at 11-30 am, to allow parishioners to attend.
Bonfire Night There is set to be a spec tacular fire works display at
Sabden’s village bonfire cel ebrations on Saturday night
from 6-30 pm organised by the Holme Committee on the Lower Holme field.
Joanne'sBear Sabden’s children’s play
ground has anew attraction Humphrey the Bear. .
; The lovable stone bear has
been installed in memory of villager Joanne Wray and is
already popular with village children. He was the idea of
approaching Ribble Valley Borough Council (RVBC) to discuss parking permits. Councillors pointed out the nature of the village presents parking issues and residents do not have a right to park in front of their own home, nei ther should residents become possessive over “their spot” or abusive to others who park on “that spot”. Parking at the end. of St Nicholas Avenue is still presenting problems for the free flow of traffic. Overhang ing trees are restricting the view at Bull Bridge for traffic approaching the village from Padiham. Wave internet advertising boards have been erected in three or four loca tions within the parish. RVBC are dealing with this.
Planning applications There were no objec
tions to plans to demolish a conservatory and replace it with an open veranda at Sabden House, Wesley Street, and the erection of a dormer to the rear roof slope and installation of roof lights to the front to provide additional living accommodation in the roof space, and side door to be blocked up at 6 Eightacre Avenue.
Recycling An update was given on re- -
cycling facilities on the village car park following concerns raised at the previous meeting about the poor state of the site. Couns Haworth and Calvert had met Peter McGeorge from RVBC on site and follow
ing this the North West Air Ambulance bin was removed
along with one of the green bottle
banks.The white glass bottle bank is in disrepair and broken glass is spilling from the bottom. Councillors are aware that the recycling
facilities are abused and the • area can become very untidy.
Councillors will be issued with
contact details so they can report when the bins are full.
Plastic recycling RVBC can only collect plas
tic bottles and not all types of ■ plastic. The current market
arrangements for the co-min- gled recycled waste restricts . delivery to plastic bottles only. Currently the material from
the can banks is mixed with •
other metals and sent to a scrap merchant. RVBC can use the can bank on site to collect mixed cans and plastic bottles and collect them alongside the co-mingled recyclables
collected in the blue wheeled
bins which is delivered to the council’s waste transfer sta
tion from where it is sent for sorting at a recycling facility. . RVBC express concerns thatif
the bin is contaminated with other materials, including
the wrong plastics, it will con taminate other recyclables. If this were to happen the mixed can and plastic bank would have to be removed from site. Coun. Eardley had visited ' nearly all of the 30 proper ties on Clitheroe Road where
they do not have wheelie bins and the majority said plastic recycling facilities on the car park would be useful. All were in favour of having a split bin
forcansandplasticsonatrial basis.
Road closure All councillors were in
favour of the potential closure of Back Lane from Simonstone Road to Black Hill car park to try to control anti-social , behaviour in the area.
Dogfouling Complaints received about
dog fouling on the Lower Hol me and Watt Street. The dog warden is aware and is moni toring the area. PCSOs will also beinformed. Aschemeto replace safety surfacing on the park, with 106 monies paid by homes developers, is on hold . and the money will be used to attract other funding. To date the football club has not come back with final suggestions. Coun. Woodward to contact the manager to advise about funding for clubs from FIFA.
Parish Council Liaison A report from Ribble Val
ley’s Parish Council’s Liaison Committee said funding was available to provide grants of £200 to £250 for health and wellbeing projects. Council-’ lors were asked to bring sug gestions to the next meeting. Sabden Parish council had expressed concern at the previous meeting that there were no planning regulations regarding solar panels. The meeting found that other . councils were surprised that
there is no policy in the Ribble Valley and the borough coun cil will look at it.
Macmillan coffee A coffee afternoon
organised by Jane Davies at her home in School House Court raised £170 for Macmil lan Cancer Care. Thanks to,. •
all friends and neighbours who popped in for a brew and bought raffle tickets. All prizes were claimed.

WADDINGTON
Call for gardeners The Coronation Gardens
havejust been awarded the Pendle Shield in the Best Kept Village competition. Although it has been awarded to the gardens many times over the years, it seems even more appreciated this year by the volunteers who work there. The number of helpers has dwindled due to ill health and retirement, so it is necessary to ask anyone who has some • spare time on their hands for assistance. You do not need to be an experienced gardener, astherearestillplentyof
