FRIDAY. DECEMBER ?. 1966 VI EWPOINT FORCED MARRIAGE


-BET WITH WHOM? T ° 3U(lge from the evidence so far submitted' by the authorities in this area to the Royal Commission on


Local Government, there seems to be three possible alternatives for the role Clitheroe will be destined to play in the reorganised system. The one that most people here would prefer, but at the same time fear will be the least likely to be accepted, is for the Clitheroe area to retain its separate identity, with- the three councils merged. The second alternative, which was suggested by the County Council, is for it to become part of the Burnley complex. The third, put forward by Blackburn County Borough last week, is for it to join with Blackburn.

the proposed second-tier authorities, the chances of this district remaining independent are definitely slim, unless some special exception is made for those difficult fringe areas which' cannot easily be assimilated into any of the larger conurbations. In that event, the top-tier authority might assume the extra responsibilities of the second-tier authority for such areas. The possible complications of such a scheme, however, might veto this idea, and so we must be realistic and presume that our future will almost certainly lie with Burnley or Blackburn. Which should it be?


Entirely new In any approach to this subject, one fact we should


get straight. It cannot be looked upon as a “take-over” in either case, and we are glad to see that this is- realised in Blackburn, judging from the Council meet­ ing there last week, and a similar attitude is likely to be revealed in Burnley. For the truth is that the suggested form of two-tier government is going to be so radically different from the present one that there is little point in equating the two. The subject must be seen in an entirely new context One of the most significant comments during the


Blackburn debate was that made by Alderman R. F. Mottershead when he said that Blackburn Town Council was virtually voting to wind itself up. This is a fact that is still not widely appreciated, for in spite of all that has been said and written about the coming reorganisation the sweeping nature of the changes has still not generally registered. It is not easy to think in terms of a completely


different system. We have got so used to the existing structure that we tend to envisage the proposals- as being merely for a change in it—a variation on an old theme. But what is proposed is revolutionary—a com­ plete demolition, and rebuilding—from which will arise not just a larger Blackburn or Burnley, but a new area of local government in which a number of authorities will join in partnership to form a . more efficient unit.


Big business The plain sense of the new thinking on local


government is so obvious.that one cannot but wonder why it has taken iso long to evolve . . . one can only assume it is for the same reason that we now find it difficult to imagine the new lay-out. Until now we have had small adjacent areas each


operating independently, often duplicating each other’s work—and competing for staff to do it—while one set of officials could do the job for all of them. And local government has become such big business that top-class business executives and the most sophisticated equip­ ment will become more and more of a necessity. In local government the days of little kingdoms are most


emphatically over. What we like most about the Blackburn evidence


is its sweet reasonableness, and its_ strikingly impartial and detached approach to the subject. The Blackburn Council has demonstrated that it could see its own problems and interests in the context of the national need, and has put its case without taking a too narrowly selfish view. So the greater part of the document is a dissertation on the broad principles involved, and as an ideal of the type of local government we ourself would like to see arise we could hardly improve on the state­


ment. Two needs It stresses the need to balance the creation of larger


units for the purpose of efficiency with the equally important need to retain close links with the people, to form a unit strong enough to derive maximum benefit from modem management techniques and machinery but not so large that it would become impersonal and soulless, losing all meaning to, and control by, the community it ser/es. Blackburn sees the necessity to think in terms of an


area which could hope to establish common interests and associations. It therefore envisages as the top-tier authority roughly the area of the Economic Council_s North West Region. For a second-tier authority it. believes an area 15 miles across is not too large under modem conditions of rapid communications and trans­ port, and such an authority' would have outright responsibility for education, health, welfare and family


services. Powerful factor Its case for the inclusion of Clitheroe is more con­


vincing that the County suggestion that it should be in the Burnley complex. TTie County seems to have taken a map and sectioned the region into what appear to be suitable portions, but this ignores the more powerful factor of long-established ties and attitudes. Possibly because of the century-old railway link with Blackburn and the Pennine “barrier” in the other’ direction, Clitheroe has, -without any lessening of its esteem for Burnley as a town, always felt more affinity with Blackburn. It has looked upon Blackburn as its big brother, whereas Burnley has been a somewhat remote


second cousin. The Clitheroe area has, like Blackburn, taken a , , , ,


realistic attitude towards the proposed reorganisation, and while there is no doubt that it would prefer to remain separate it feels that if there is to be a forced marriage then Blackburn is the only possible suitor it


could consider. We feel, however, that Clitheroe and its surround­ '


ing villages are essentially one entity, bound by common interest, joint activities and mutual regard, so that, whatever may be the second-tier authority we eventually join, the whole of the Clitheroe, area should be treated as one, no matter whether the villages are in the Clitheroe Rural or Bowland areas, both of which, significantly, have their headquarters in the town. As for the name of the new authority,-it does; not


ijr


follow that it will be that of the largest.town, as Sir George'Eddie has reminded Blackburn. Indeed there'is a strong case for calling it after the oldest of its -con­ stituent -members, in which event the new name would rightly be “Clitheroe.”


BUSINESS MEN ARE -


CONCERNED AT THREAT TO GOODS STATION


A SPECIAL regional board is contemplating the closure of Clitheroe railway goods station, if it finds the station is not an economical proposition. The board has been collecting information about the


station, and a final decision is expected within the next few months. Local firms, which rely

that the firm has a private siding at Clitheroe. “The trains shunt straight


in there, and collect all our outgoing products. I should think that they would bring in railway staff from Black- bum, if the Clitheroe depot were closed, to deal with our goods. “Many of our products are already dealt with through Blackburn anyway. I think we would be sorry to see the Clitheroe depot dose, for we have got on very well with the staff there.” Other businessmen also


expressed concern at the possibility of the goods station being closed, and ex­ pressed the hope that other satisfactory arrangements would be made in this event.
