about speeds on Padiham Road and Clitheroe Road, but villagers have said Whalley Road is also affected. After meetings with Lan­


cashire County Council over the past few years, local par­ ish councillors have made suggestions as to how the problem could be addressed, and a speed indicator device (SPID)hasnowbeeninstalled on Padiham Road. - Coun. Tony Haworth,


chairman of Sabden par­ ish council, said: “The SPID seems to be having a certain amount of effect, but this may change as drivers get used to it being there. “Wehavesuggested a small

War memorial tree scheme more than


half-way complete An ambitious scheme to plant trees in Ribble Valley’s 35 parishes in memory of the borough’s First World War fallen has reached the half­ way mark. Oak trees have been


planted in more than 20 parishes, and plans are in the pipeline for the remain­ der to be placed to mark the 100th anniversary of the


outbreak of the First World War. The trees will all bear


plaques in memory of the hundreds of young Ribble Valley men who lost their lives during the Great War of 1914-18.


The Mayor of the Ribble


Valley, Coun Michael Ran- son, who lost a great-uncle in the war, said: “We are all


but we are hoping it will have


raisedawarenessoftheappeal and encourage people to do­ nate to the roof fund.” Money raised by the


cycling trio will be divided equally between the roof


appeal and Breast Cancer Care.
