OFFICE ABOUT TURN ON
WARDS
A NEW electoral warding system is after all likely to be in operation in Clitheroe and Longridge in time for this year’s district elections, the Ribble Valley Council has been informed this week. The change of heart on the
part of the Home Office comes only a month a f te r an announcement that the ward ing system would not be intro duced before the May elec
tions. That decision prompted an
immediate and strong protest from the Ribble Valley Council, whose Chief Execu tive Officer Mr Michael Jack- son described the postpone ment as “completely unaccept able.” News of the about turn
came in a,letter to the Ribble Valley Council this week. The decision is subject to formal approval of the Home Secret ary. Subject to this, the order will be made later this month or early next month. Commented Mr Jackson
yesterday: “While this is not yet a firm fact, it now looks very likely that it will go through and we are very pleased about it.” Under the new system,
Clitheroe will be divided into four wards — the Grammar School (three seats), Ribbles- dale (two), St James’s (two) and Edisford, Low Moor.and Trinity (three). Longridge will be split into two wards.
