(Wilpshire) said that if the department did install a phone, it should be placed on the most dangerous stretch, which he felt was between the Brantley ,Meade and Petre Arms roundabouts.
Coun. Chris Holtom The committee voted to
thank the police for their diligence in watching the road and hoped they would continue.

Need to restore credibility in local government
’
Mr Ron Pickup Labour
SINCE 1979 the Government has run into more trouble in its dealings with local government than in any other field. One would hardly notice
this home truth in Clith eroe but for the appalling fa ll in g s ta n d a rd s of services. Pruning the scope of
local government has re su l ted in not more power to the people, but in passing more power to central government. An elected dictatorship? There is little real evi
dence to support the view th at control of public expenditure requires these strict limitations of what local government may spend and there is lit tle truth in the belief that whatever local authorities spend out of their own money has a significant impact upon the Govern ment’s overall economic
strategy. Spending more on ser
vices is not in itself infla tionary so long as the money comes from taxes as it already broadly has to. That level of spending should however be a mat ter for the local electorate. Rates as a whole account for only 10 per cent of the total tax burden.
consistently have failed to tackle the real problem of 20th century local govern ment, the tax base. They alter structures, services, areas, but all have dog gedly refused to review the financial source to effectively put local ser vices and local democracy on a sound footing. The new proposal “The community charge” is not the answer; its affect will be punitive, regressive, totally workable and more costly to administer. The Conservatives have

Starting point for hard work to help town
Mr James Slater Conservative
THIS by-election hopefully is the beginning of my service to Clitheroe if I am elected — the starting point for ideas and hard work which I know will help the Ward and the town in general. There are many old as
well as new issues which need to be raised — amen ities for youth are now fairly non-existent.
there was little to do, but there was far more than there is today. Sporting venues, more dances, youth clubs and youth community care groups would be a step in the right direction.
When I was 15 years old
already established a bat tery of central controls so feudal that this country is in sight of a Government so highly centralised to no longer require local coun cillors, other than as “imp- pets on a string." Now is the time to

Concerning our local
railway station, the Town Council and the Borough Council have written to the Rt Hon. John Moore MP, Secretary of State for Transport, to encourage the extension of passenger trains from Blackburn to Clitheroe and also to urge him to help keep the Clith eroe Railway Station open. I support this who leheartedly as 1 feel this service is just what Clith eroe desperately needs.
Another issue which has
been pointed out to me during my visits to local residents is the condition of the pavements in St James’s Ward. With win ter now upon us 1 will give special attention to the care and maintenance of the local footpaths to ensure the elderly and
