WOULD NEW PLAN MEAN GREATER EFFICIENCY?


'J ’HE publication of the Lancashire County Council’s evidence to the Royal Commission on Local


Government has had at least one salutary effect. It has brought home to the man in the street the stark fact that revolutionary changes in the accepted pattern of local administration are coming—and fairly soon. He had, over the years, got used to all kinds of warning and prophecies and had been inclined to dismiss them as just so much theorising. In any event, it seemed, they be­ longed to the remote future. Now we are face to face with the county’s actual proposals, and since their pub­ lication there has been widespread and earnest discus­ sion of them. If they have done nothing else, the recommendations have acted as a spur to some serious thinking.


This is all to the good, for it must be borne in


mind that they are only recommendations,; and the Royal Commission is no more bound, or likely, to accept them as those of any other authority, large or small. They will stand or fall on their apparent good sense or otherwise, the strength of the support or criticism given them, and the validity of alternative proposals submitted. What, then, are they worth, and will they, in fact, bring about a better administration?


More closely knit By the leaders of local government, at. least, it has


been generally accepted for some, years that the present boundaries cannot, for all purposes, remain as they are indefinitely. They have realised that in this more mobile age, with all areas more closely knit and the whole country shrunk by modem developments into practi­ cally one large community, planning that affects large areas cannot be handicapped by traditional barriers, or progress thwarted by the inability of small councils, through their lack of resources, to implement their part in it. And so it has been accepted that more and more services would have to be merged and their control brought under larger authorities.

No local council, will happily, surrender its


autonomy, or whatever measure of this it has, and even at County Council level there is plainly an attempt at self-preservation. This is what the recommendations must be seen to be.

Council .has its merits, but greater .efficiency might just as wellrbe achieved by a simple extension of the boun­ daries of the county boroughs, to create the giant cities now envisaged but without over-all control by the top- tier authority. This, however, would considerably weaken the County Councils who might then not be in a position to provide the necessary services to the areas outside the giant cities, areas which by their very nature, would be widely dispersed. So, if change there must be, the Lancashire County Council plan, for practical purposes might be the best, with one important pro­ vision. This is that those areas, such as Clitheroe and district, which are unsuitable for assimilation, in any of the second-tier units, could remain outside them, and the top-tier authority undertake some of those functions which elsewhere would be the responsibility of the


second-tier unit. The Clitheroe area could then retain its distinctive


identity. The borough and surrounding rural districts could be amalgamated and, with central administration retained in Clitheroe, could discharge most of the func­ tions they now undertake, while services which need wider control would come directly under the top-tier authority, much as they do now come under the County Council. This would avoid the obvious nonsense of a natural and cohesive entity like Clitheroe and district being butchered and apportioned out to the larger units, with which it has no real links and in which it has very little interest, either actual or potential. For no matter what the authority may be, we can never visual-, ise Clitheroe people being interested in, say, the price of local bus fares in Burnley streets.


And we would argue that even in the new giant


cities, some sort of local council should be retained in the former separate communities- to watch the special interests of the people there, with different rate precepts for the different areas, as at present happens in the diff- erent parishes of the Rural Districts.i For ^ what interest would Accrington people have in subsidising an adventure playground in Moss Street, Blackburn, or Great Harwood residents in installing new street lighting in Revidge, or vice-versa?. In due course, it. could be argued, all areas would benefit equally under; the all- seeing, all wise authority, but we’ll believe that when we see it, and until then there will have to become form


of differential. • / ’ v. Basic fallacy

LORD CLITHEROE HELPS DOWNHAM TO KEEP ITS BUS SERVICE


LORD CLITHEROE stepped in this week to help save the only bus service to the picturesque village of Downham. He met Ribble officials in Downham on Monday, after hearing that they thought they had no other course than to ask. the Traffic Commissioners for permission to close the service.

Present system was Mr. Pringle, who first experienced


minutes that the buses wait for passengers to arrive, Mr. Pringle drove up to his shop, he would either have to wait for the bus to go or park his van elsewhere and move it later. And the bus obscured his shop window from the view of visitors passing through the village.


NO OTHER SPACE Yet from the Ribble’s


point of view, the bus has to turn round to come to Clitheroe, and apart from the hotel frontage, which is used as a car-park, there is no other space big enough in the village. A small car park at the


foot of the village has often been suggested as a turning space, but to reach it the double-deck bus would have to go down the very steep brow outside the old church. And in winter the snow or frost on the brow could make it hazardous. After Mr. Pringle protes­


ted to Ribble, officials wrote to Clitheroe Rural Council saying that they were going to apply to the Traffic Com­ missioners to stop the service, because they could see no alternative turning space. Villagers were immediately


alarmed at the prospect of a two-mile walk to reach the Chatbum bus service. And on dark winter nights young folk returning from Clitheroe would have to walk along the unlit country lane from Chat- burn. Glitheroe Rural Council
