2p RATE


WHALLEY Parish Council is asking for a no-change 2p rate for the coming financial year. This will bring in £6,000 and help the council reduce the £4,500 loan from the Ribble Valley Council for the Queen Elizabeth playing fields. The playing fields cost


£8,450. Half of last year’s 2p rate raised £3,000 and the remainder came from the district council by way of a £2,500 grant (of which £1,300 has so far been spent) and the loan. Coun. Michael Green told

The scheme was halted because tenders received for the work were considered too high. The lowest, of £13,758 from J. M. Dewhurst, of Longridge, has now been reduced to £11,995.
