Village fete In spite of the appaling
weather on Saturday, there was an excellent turnout from both villages. There was a variety of stalls run by village organisations plus a plant stall, a beer tent and book stalls. An earlier setback was quickly dealt with after the hotdog stall cancelled at the last minute, possibly due to the heavy rain. However, two volunteers from the commit tee quickly came to the rescue with a quick visit to a cash- and-carry to get supplies. There was an ambulance
bn the car park which proved very exciting to many children when the ambulance men showed them how to oper ate the blue lights and siren. There were plenty of activities for the children, one of the most popular being a minia ture trolly bus with an open air top for rides. In the afternoon, the Northern Dance Group demonstrated their skills in street and jazz dance. This group is taught and rehearses on Monday and Thursday evenings at Oakhill Academy.

Parish Council AGM Key points ofthe report
given by chairman Doug Parker at Waddington Parish Council’s annual general meeting were: • The parish council met
10 times during the year. The meetings have been well-at tended and minutes after they have been approved are on display in the village post office. Emailed min utes are available on request. Meetings have been held in the village club, Clitheroe Road, in the past year follow ing a move from St Helen’s refectory. All are welcome to attend these open meetings. Doug gave thanks to council lors for their service to the
parish council and also to Ribble Valley councillors, es
pecially Bridget Hilton for her very regular attendance and support. The parish council has adequate insurance to
cover risks and assets of the village. The premiums have
been fixed for a five year term. The parish council does
notgive allowances to its members. There is only one paid employee - the clerk.
Playground The playground had its
annual ROSPA inspection in August 2013 and most risks re vealed were classed as “Low”. However, the wet pour surface was classed as a “Medium” risk and now requires imme diate attention. After getting quotations WPC decided to replace it, which will be done
before the end of the month. Grants to help to fund this work (totalling £3,000) were
applied for and WPC are grate ful to The Craven Trust who granted £500; the LCC Parish Champion Cynthia Dereli who granted £500; the Waddington Sports and Social Committee who granted £1,000. WPC will also claim back the VAT on the works. WPC is very grateful to Dilys Day from RVBC whb helped the Clerk, Carol Baird, in advising on the grants. Signage to the playground
and playing field is being in vestigated to promote the use of the car park and facilities to visitors.

2013, Waddington village came fourth overall in the small village category. Wad dington got a Commended mention in the Public Garden and School categories, and the ■ Coronation Gardens and Wad dington and West Bradford school received Highly Com mended mentions. WPC thanks the volunteer
members ofthe Coronation Gardens committee who maintain thegardens on its behalf. A full copy of the
judges’ report it is available from the Clerk. The village has again
entered this competition in 2014. This year, however the village will be included in a new category “Medium sized villages” as its population has exceeded 1,000. Villagers are asked to keep their properties asclean.tidyandattractiveas. possible in time for the start of thejudginginJune.

ing the village up to date with local topical issues.
Donations WPC made the following
donations during the year: Mountain Rescue £50, British Legion for the remembrance wreath £30, and £150 towards the maintenance of The Little Green Bus.
Stan the Van This free mobile resource
van is shared with Pendle Bor ough Council and Rossendaie Borough Council. It tends to park on Branch Road in the centre of the village. STAN the Van came to Waddington in March 2014 to link in with The Leisure Club luncheon. The Leisure Club members had a talk from the staff onboard STAN and were able to make use of its facilities.
Maintenance Maintenance issues
around the village are constantly monitored by the councillors and the following works have been undertaken . during the last financial year: Repairs to the chain link fencing by the side of the road/ brook; the pavilion on the playing field was repaired and . repainted; the willow tree in thecentreofthevillagewas '' trim media large tree on the allotments was felled as it was unsafe.
Waddington Brook In 2013, the Environment
Agency cleared a small strip of vegetation from the side of the brook adjacent to Branch
Road. Unfortunately the roots were not removed and also the boulders in the stream (a potential flood risk hazard) were also not removed. WPC Chairman Doug Parker has contacted The Environment Agency on several occasions to try to rectify these matters and now also has the back- ing of MP Nigel Evans for the work to be considered. It has not been undertaken thus far due to a computer study being undertaken on flooding by the the agency and also due to financial constraints. The chairman stated that the work would probably have to be done by a team of villagers on a voluntary basis if the Envi- • ronmental Agency would not undertake the works.
Brook Farm Bridge WPC are concerned about
cars parking on the Tarmac “apron" by the stone troughs in the centre of this bridge. LCC have been contacted to do a second site visit with the aim of making this area a no parking zone.
Marquee WPC purchased a marquee
to use in the Jubilee celebra tions. This is available for hire
by contacting the Clerk (£20 hire fee and £50 deposit).
The Precept The Parish Precept for
2014/2015 will remain the same as in 2013/14.
Drainage issues ' There are still drainage
problems on both the allot ments and on the Twitter Lane playing field. Chairman Doug
Parker is liaising with RVBC to research available grants and so by next year will hopefully be able to report favourable on any drainage work which can be undertaken. •
