open
spaces.Couns Haworth and Shorter had met with
Mark Beveridge, head of Leisure and Cultural Serv- •
ices at the borough council,
to discuss the possibility of Sabden receiving some Sec tion 106 money as a result of the numerous developments within the village.
This is where developers have to donate money to a
local authority where they are given permission to carry out a mqjor development.
Councillors had been
concerned that Sabden has had a lot of development but not received any of this money, which goes directly to the
borough council. But they were told there are funds to be allocated to Sabden from the Cobden Mill development for the maintenance of public open space. Suggestions for areas that need work in Sabden were put
forward by councillors and will be submitted to RVBC who will check their eligibility, after which the parish council will prioritise them and obtain quotations. They are improvements to
the play area, drainage/level- ling of Lower Holme field, an all weather play area/pitch, improvements to the Lower Holme path, support to Sab den Football Club and a green gym/trim trail. Other suggestions put
forward were residential parking, improvements to the path behind properties on Clitheroe Road, speed bumps, custom signing at entry points of village, footbridge at Bull Bridge and traffic calming measures. County Coun. Atkinson
suggested Sabden Football Club should apply for some funding from his small projects budget which could help towards securing the access.
Best Kept Village Judging had begun for
Lancashire’s Best Kept Vil lage competition. In Sabden, the youth shelter and bus shelter needed painting, some benches needed touchingup, advertising placards removing from lamp posts and notice boards, signs and bus shelters needed washing.
Other matters Coun. Shorter said the
Lower Holme needed to be rolled, the goal posts have
been removed and will be
replaced before the summer holidays. There were no issues
with the play area. There had been complaints about loud music in the early hours ofthe__ morning in the village. The police were aware of it.

Sprayofshame Dog dirt on the path be
tween Whalley Parish Church and Whalley CE School is to be sprayed red as a mark of shame to errant owners. A recent meeting of Whal
ley Parish Council was told of consultations with Ribble Valley Borough Council’s dog warden. The fouling and the soluble
red spray paint will be re moved after a day. The spraying is seen as
raising public awareness of the problem and an incen tive for people to report errant owners to the borough council. Michael Wedgeworth, on
behalf of Whalley in Bloom, . told the council that judging day in the Britain in Bloom contest would be on Wednes day, July 16th. He asked for hanging baskets to be regu larly watered and received the assurance that the lengths-
■ man would be working to this date.
The council’s attention was drawn to the matter of
youths playing football on Vale Gardens, and more signs
forbidding ball games were suggested. Coun. Ivan Kent requested
notification ofthe Adam Cottam Trust meetings. He reported that he had drafted a letter regarding the possibility of implementing a neighbour hood plan which could be forwarded to other parish councils. Coun. Eric Ronnan
reported that Whalley. Education Foundation had appointed newgovernors and that the finances of the Old Grammar School were in line with predictions. Classes were 23 a week with a target of 40. He stated that stone stolen • from Vale Gardens had been replaced. Coun. Jon Smith reported
that work was still required on bids for funding at the QEII. The feasibility study would be printed and forwarded to councillors and the youth shelter and multi-use games area would need planning permission. A number of trustees were
required to build up the full complement and a secretary and treasurer had been ap pointed. The parish council is to
participate in the World War One centenary tree planting scheme.

would be appropriate that the tree should be in the former grounds of Calderstones, formerly a military hospital for wounded soldiers.
