sentences best way


to enforce the law


-COUNCILLOR


TOUGHER sentencing by magistrates is the best way to enforce law and order, according to Ribble Valley councillor Geoffrey Ainsworth. Speaking in a law and


order debate at a meeting of the council’s Finance and General Purposes Sub-Committee, Coun. Ainsworth (Clayton-le- Dale) said: “We should not be looking at policing methods as much as whether the right kind of sentences are being given in the courts.” Law and order was


breaking down in some places because paltry sentences were being handed out, he believed. The Sub-Committee


was considering a report by Chief Executive Mr Michael Jackson on Home Office suggestions on ways crime prevention might proceed at local level and provide a basis for planning local pro­ jects. The suggestion was


contained in a letter from the Association of District Councils inviting local au­ thorities to outline their problems. Mr Jackson said there


was no significant prob­ lem locally compared with urban areas. However, the area did suffer from vandalism, particularly at the Salthill Industrial Estate and the Castle Grounds. Mr Jackson referred to


the excellent liaison bet­ ween the council and police on crime preven­ tion. Coun. Bill Fleming (Bil-
