Services At the Christmas celebra-

in Royal David’s City” they ■ related the reality of the

; told her she was to give birth to God’s Son before she was married to Joseph, and having- to go to Bethlehem to register in a census.
. • : In his message Mr Willdn- son asked: “Will we be ready
for Jesus’s second coming?” The closing carol was “Joy -

Parish Council Sabden Parish Council’s
December meeting was at tended by Coun. A. Haworth ■ (chairman), John Shorter, Michael Calvert, Kelly Eardley, Dean Lindsey, Ricky and Tri- cia Newmark, Marion Procter and five members of the pub lic. Apologies were received from Coun. Michael Hodds.
Victoria Mill Developers John and Nick
Uttley outlined anew scheme being put forward by Bowsall Ltd for the Victoria Mill site off Watt Street and Whalley Road. Nick Uttley explained
Bowsall Ltd had encountered numerous difficulties with the
site which it has had an inter- estinforoverthreeyearsand '
Where a scheme for 70 units was already approved. Many developers have declined uptake of the site, so a new
scheme, a more traditional open market scheme with the chimney removed, is being '
proposed. Bowsall say they are committed to survey, research and acknowledge the heritage of the area, but the scheme cannot move forward if the ■ cMmney is to stay. ’ They were hoping to
submit an application by the end of January but had three
options: to do nothing and let the site degenerate; progress
the consented scheme which is presenting many difficul
ties or proceed with the new scheme.. The parish council sug
gested bungalows could be built, but in the past Ribble Valley Borough Council has resisted bungalows and they are commercially difficult because of the footspace. The Parish Council asked
if they could allow residents to view the new scheme and a presentation was to be ar ranged in St Mary’s Hall in late January or early February.
Public questions Residents asked questions
about the Victoria Mill devel opment and the application for houses beMnd Pendle Street East and when it would be discussed at RVBC Plan ning Committee. No date had been set at that time.
Whins Lodge Various issues were raised
regarding the closure of the concessionary path running alongside Spring Lodge, off Whalley Road. Councillors pointed out that this is not and never has been a public - amenity. There were queries regarding a recent planning application for WMns Barn and how alterations would affect the public footpaths. They were advised there is no intention of interfering with the footpaths.
Applications An application had been
received to erect a barrier to the main entrance at St Mary’s Church in Whalley Road. Fol lowing discussions and a vote it was resolved by seven to one to object to the proposal for the reason that religious build ings and amenities therein (which includestations of the cross and grotto) should have public access at all times.
Disabled parking Regarding a proposed disa
bled parking bay at Littlemoor, Lancashire County Council Highways Dept said it had pro- posed to provide two bays on - Sabden Brook Court (close to Stubbins Lane end) on the side adjacent to Littlemoor Close.
But all the responses from an initial consultation objected to the proposal and suggested that as there is parking witMn
Littlemoor Close the disabled • residents should be parking -
there. As there was no support for
the introduction of the bays as planned LCC had decided not
to proceed and suggested that the Parish Council liaised with Littlemoor sheltered hous ing to provide some marked disabled spaces within the site itself.
.
Other Matters The council turned down a request for funding from the
' Little Green Bus Corppany. The playground report raised no issues but the youth shelter has been used for drug smok ing. There are some incidenc es of dog fouling on Whalley Road. The dog warden was to be contacted about placing warmrig signs. Borough Councillor Ricky
Newmark said the borough was looking at problems being caused in villages by satnavs directing HGVs through them, and an officer was looking at all the A boards and banners wMch have appeared on roadsides. Couns Michael Calvert and
Dean Lindsey were to meet with a web designer to discuss a parish council website. The Snow Angels Scheme, wMch assists the elderly and infirm in bad weather, was looking for volunteers and a co ordinator in every village. The lengthsman, David Bridge, retired after 16 years and a small get together was to be arranged.
