Council members raise their


expenses ceiling


R IB B L E Valley councillors have given them­ selves their f irs t -ev e r increase in allowances to keep pace with the spiralling cost of living.


At Tuesday’s council


meeting, Coun. Edwin G r e t to n (Gr indie ton) claimed that since local government reorganisa-

tion in 1974 prices • and wages had risen by 138 per cent. He said that for the past six years councillors had


The' Government has re c en t ly recommended


that the ceiling be raised to £ 1 3 .2 8 ! Coun. Gretton moved that the council should continue to operate thejold formula,; but at the


higher cut-off point. Coun! Gretton said that


some councillors never claimed expenses because they could afford not to do so. But he felt that if this became an accepted prac­ tice it could discourage the less-wealthy from becom­ ing involved in local gov­


ernment. Coun. Bob Ainsworth .


(Clitheroe) said he found it disturbing that people should be suggesting that the amount be increased. "Surely for attending


meetings in the evenings, no one has the right to raise the amount in view of the current financial cli­


mate,” he said. Several councillors said


that the allowances were e


ied for such over- as telephone calls,


stamps and letters. “I have often had mv


wife nagging at me when I have been on the telephone on council business for an hour,” said Coun. Gretton, w h o s e m o t io n was approved on a vote.

join the club whether they are able to play or not,” said Mrs Bank. P rospective players


should go along on a club night or contact Mrs Bank (Tel. Padiham 74774) or the club secretary Mr Terry Ward (Pad. 76244).


Bid to cut rail costs


R IB B L E Valley council­ lors should play their part in attempts to cut public spending by being pre­ pared to travel second class on trains. The economy measure


was suggested at Tues­ day’s meeting of the coun­ cil by Coun. Mrs Joyce Lil- burn (Bolton-by-Bowland).


She said it was quite


wrong for councillors to be travelling first-class — as at present — at a time when they were supposed to be cutting spending.


“If member's want to


travel first class, they should do so at their own expense," she said.


But Coun. Harry Riding


(Longridge) said he had always travelled first class on trains and would con­


tinue to do so. While travelling, he was


able to do a lot of work that would be impossible in a second-class compartment.


A compromise f r °m


Coun. -Mrs Sheila (Whalley) that member*


should claim a second-cias fare - and travel first- class by adding the extr themselves — will be ' sidered by the Fmanc and General Purposes


Committee.
