SABDEN
Parish Council The September meeting
of Sabden Parish Council was attended by Couns Tony Haworth (chairman), John Shorter, Michael Calvert, Mar ion Procter, Kelly Eardley, new members Tricia Newmark and Meriel Woodward, and clerk Mrs Angela Whitwell. The auditor’s annual
report had been approved and the clerk was thanked. Some outstanding work on the
new Cobden Mill and Black • Hill View developments had
still not been carried out. The officer at Ribble Valley Council
the village car park came in for a lot of criticism as it is un sightly and is being misused by the public. The chairman said the area was a disgrace as residents left bags of bottles' and other rubbish by the bins. People did not put the right colour glass in the correct bins, which means the value of the contents goes down. One of the charity bins
cannot be opened and it was felt there are too many charity bins. Coun Eardley asked if a plastic bottle bank could be sited there for residents who do not have wheelie bins and have to take their recycling to the tip at Henthorn. After a discussion it was decided to invite Ribble Valley Council’s recycling officer Peter Mc- George to the site to discuss all the issues raised.
Leisure Activities The parish council is still looking at ways to use money
that is coming to Sabden from the developers who have built new houses in the village. A possible “walking gym” round the village was a non-starter as the equipment was too expensive, but councillors were still hoping to work with the football club to see if money could go to improve ments at the Nutter Barn ground. Councillors are still awaiting firm proposals from the club. A possible sharing of facilities between the cricket and football clubs would not be feasible. Some of the safety surfaces on the park could also be replaced with the money available.
Housing plans The proposed housing development on the former Marbill site off Whalley Road did not come before the plan ning committee this week as had been expected. A date has still to be fixed.
Next meeting The next meeting of the
Parish Council will be on Tuesday, October 7th, at 7 pm at Sabden Link.
