The Maud Report on


Local Government in Eng­ land and Wales was des­ cribed this week as a “bureaucratic brainchild” which ought to be fought with , all the power at the command of Bowland Rural Council. Commenting on the recent


Government white paper on Local Government Reorganisa­ tion, Coun, R. Williamson added at a special meeting of the Finance and General Purposes Committee on Monday, that local government as it was. gave local people the opportunity to have some say in how their lives


were run. These proposed new mon­


ster' councils have vet to be proved to be more efficient than the system they will re­ place,” said Coun. Williamson.


He added that it was certain they would be less democratic.

find the right people who would be willing to travel long dis­ tances to meetings. “Therefore more and more


matters will be decided by offi­ cials who would net have local knowledge and perhaps very little local interest.” added Cotm. Williamson.
