A VILLAGER says she is “ecstatic” after fellow residents gave her the go-ahead in a referendum to maintain a grass verge. A public meeting was held two years ago when Irene Fowler first put forward her proposal to see to the upkeep of the overgrown verge, in Race Moor Lane, Oakworth. There were some objections to the plan, particularly around the idea of including a bench – which sparked fears over anti-social behaviour and loss of privacy. The bench idea has since been dropped. In a bid to end wrangling, villagers living within around 100 metres of the verge – which is owned by Bradford Council – were balloted.
VOLUNTEER litter-pickers from Oakworth teamed-up with colleagues from across the county border for their latest blitz. The Pickers of Oakworth were supported by Pendle Borough Council and Laneshawbridge residents as they targeted the route towards the Lancashire village from Scar Top. Around 150 bagfuls of rubbish were collected over two days from the roadside. Volunteer Irene Fowler said: “What a marvellous but tiring couple of days. The difference is amazing. “Pendle councillor David Whipp was extremely thankful for all our efforts and a Laneshawbridge resident provided welcome cool drinks.” Fellow volunteer Steve Ives said: “We have a fantastic group of volunteers in Oakworth. I am really proud of our achievement over the two days. It was an amazing effort. We would like to thank Keighley firm S&J Civils Ltd and Keighley Council for the loan of warning signs for motorists.
