I READ with interest Mr Bill Fleming’s, letter concerning the new council chamber, in which he agrees it is not now the time to build. ■ .
this part of the project has not been built, as it would be the very height of extravagance. A new town hall and council chamber is not required now. Nor is it likely to be in the future, if local gov ernment is to become more efficient and less costly to administer. I have written on previ

ous occasions suggesting that a streamlining of ser vices provided by district council and county council would lead to great say ings in public expendi ture. There is far too much duplication of offi cials handling business be tween county and district council. A great deal of saving could be achieved without cutting services which are so essential to the wellbeing of the com
munity. Alongside Mr Flemings
letter was an item about
the district, parish coun cils and two town councils with elected members who are well informed of the needs of th e i r parishes and who are able to work closely with the local voluntary organisa tions. Certain domestic functions can quite well be their responsibility — administered with the minimum of clerical staff.
We have; throughout

ONE wonders who these persons are on the Lancashire Education Sub-Committee that they
qualify to state that Bashall School is no longer a centre of the local community. Is it possible that money is to have priority over human
relations? Village faces death
ON behalf of Bashall EaVes school, I write to say that if deprived of it, our village will become dead — yes, dead! , For the past three
years,"due to family cir cumstances, my husband and I have brought up our grandchildren, Philip (6)_
