Ribble Valley Borough Council ? of failing tou


' Ihaveconsistentlyaccused-; c'onsult residents


regarding new housing devel­ opment. This recent decision strengthens that argument. By “consult” I refer to a


process in which the public’s . input, on matters directly af­ fecting them and thier every- day lives, is sought and then, ' crucially, actually taken into, account during the decision s making process. * Without an adopted local


plan we are told it is difficult to reject new housing applica­ tions. Ribble Valley Borough Council’s planning depart­ ment formulated the Core

Strategy after listening to one „ „


! side of the story. What a sham-;: bles and no wonder some resi­ dents' are questioning council f ethics!


.;-■■■■ . The whole debacle of new


housing development, sur- / rounding the Core Strategy,, has been derived by RVBC in . tandem with land owners and builders. These are the very people who have a vested in- - terest in seeing the Core Strat­ egy fail.


- • ‘ r Instead of listening to one


side of the argument, resi­ dents most affected should have been “consulted”. A lo­ cal development plan that safeguards the Ribble Valley from unwanted housing appli­ cations is vital, but the coun­ cil consistently fail to get one


adopted. Areasori the inspec- ’


* tor failed this latest attempt of Core Strategy adoption was due to housing distribu­ tion. If RVBC had listened to residents, that would not be a _


. stumbling block;Thousands?, opposed increasing housing. numbers to 4,000. • ■ RVBC increased them, and


againstthewishesoflocalres-. idents and specialist advice, have increased them again, to 5,ooo. More than 2,000 sig-, natures on a petition object­ ing to Clitheroe taking more than 25% of the total was also ignored.


.


The inspector obviously shares the view of Clitheroe


: residents that it is unfair they are expected to shoulder al­ most 50% of the Core Strategy ? housing numbers. . RVBC has never in s t i­


gated one idea/request from residents during this entire housing charade. That’s not consultation, it’s box ticking! There was the embarrass­ ment of the Waddow View ap­


peal, which our council said


•had a zero chance of being refused and declined to con­ test it. Agroup of local people


presented their objections


7. and won - so much for expert “ opinion!' - '


- no wonder the Core Strateav fails.'


i -If they can get that wrong 63


f Not only has the local plan failed to be adopted twice, but hundreds of thousands of pounds of local taxpayer


money has been wasted along the way. Perhaps a council of­ ficial might advise residents


howmuch money has already


• been spent and how much ex­ tra is required to achieve the goal of “third time lucky” ! - In the business world this


type of incompetence is usu­ ally rewarded by a parting of the ways.


• Unfortunately, those in


charge of defending the bor­ ough from excessive housing numbers are not only unap­ proachable, but now appear unaccountable.

Back in 1956, textile manu­ facturer Janies Dewhurst had a church organ trans­ ported from Bradford and installedatShawBridge Mill, Clitheroe, for the enter­ tainment of his workers.

After Mr Dewhurst’s death in 1953, the organ fell out of use, andin 1965 his family donated it to St Matthew’s Church, Preston, where it remains complete with a plaque (inset).
