Council officer quits following staff reshuffle


A RIBBLE VALLEY Council officer is leaving because he is unhappy with the new role he had been given in the recent staff reshuffle.


Deputy Borough En- sponsibility for the de-


gineer Mr Norman Turner says he is not entirely satisfied with his duties in the’new set-up and de­ cided it would be better to apply for early retire­ ment. Details were announced


two months ago of the reshuffle, in which the jobs of 15 employees, in­ cluding two Chief Offic­ ers, were swallowed up to


•save ratepayers about' £100,000. . Mr Turner (50), ! who will leave in July, would have become Deputy Technical Officer under' the new Chief Planning and Technical Officer, Mr Philip Bailey. . He would have had re-

“I thought about apply­


ing for voluntary retire­ ment when the other 15 did, but I was allowed to review my proposed new duties before making any decision,” he said. Mr Turner, married


with four sons, lives at Rishton. He became Deputy Chief Technical Officer with the newly- created Ribble Valley au­ thority in 1974. A member of the Insti­ tute of Municipal En-

Michael Jackson explained that the council had been able to accept Mr Tur­ ner’s notice after making a number of staffing ad­


justments. V His duties had. been


shed over, the department and there would now be just one deputy under Mr Bailey.

Expensive living at Riverside


AS a young married couple struggling to bring up our children on the Riverside estate, we are writing to protest at yet another slur on the estate by the Ribble Valley Council.

At a time when every­


one is tightening their purse strings, it is inevit­ able that money is going to be short for some of us, that’s to say’ if we are even in a job.


of the residents are find­ ing it very hard to afford these cheaply-built and


residents on the estate are young mamed couples with growing children.- Other young people


Ninety per cent of the


who have been fortunate enough to buy a house on an ordinary mortgage have had several drops in their interest rates.


People on this estate


have had only one drop in interest on,. their mort­ gage, which meant no; thing and then rents on the shared ownership- scheme have risen by nearly 200 . per cent in three, years. By-r this time next year,


■from .which only it can gain, the percentage will be far, greater. Would it not be better


if the present council per­ sists, in grabbing as much as it can from a scheme


for-the council to help us keep this estate a show­ piece for the district, rather than, let it go dow­ nhill-,by grabbing all the money f rom.a cheap scheme which has gone all wrong, and is very, very expensive.'
