Lancashire County Council have also admitted responsibility for the large conifer trees on Station Close which are due to be sorted out very soon. The most likely course of action will be complete removal as this will ultimately cost less in the long run by eliminating the need for maintenance.
A number of fields across Hyndburn are due to be classified as Queen Elizabeth II Fields for Her Majesty's diamond jubilee and Harwood Road Recreation Ground has made the shortlist. Several residents have suggested that Holt Street Recreation Ground would be a more suitable choice although it is currently owned by the Dunkenhalgh Estate and may not be available. Cllrs Ken Moss and Harry Grayson are looking into the possibility of this but it would be a rare honour for Rishton if one of our fields is classified in this way as the previous national field-naming scheme was on the death of King George V in 1936.
County Cllr Miles Parkinson also has an update from Lancashire County Council regarding the zebra crossing on High Street. The belisha beacon that was destroyed in a car crash earlier this year has now been replaced although is due to be cut down to a more sensible 3.5m soon and the beacon opposite will be replaced to match it.
The bus shelter opposite the War Memorial that was also destroyed in a car crash is scheduled to be replaced on 4th October.
Lastly, the large pothole outside no 6 Spring Street has finally been filled in!
