Tories pledge to fight increase


County rate set to jump by 36.5p


THE county rates bill is set to rise by a mas­ sive 36.5p iii the pound, the biggest in the his­ tory of Lancashire County Council — and the Conservative opposition has pledged to fight to reduce it. The increase will go before the county coun­


man for the Conservatives, said his group would do everything possible to bring the rise down. For the average house, with a rateable value of £150, the increase would amount to £54.71


a year. The Ribble Valley Council leader, Coun.


Sheila Maw, said the borough’s Conservative majority would lend full support to county col­


leagues trying to reduce the rise. “But it is going to be very hard because of a


considerable expenditure rise at county level,” she added. Meanwhile, the North West Water


Authority approved an increase in water rate charges, depending on rateable value, of between seven and 10 per cent with effect from April. The authority said the increase would mean


an average of 16p a week extra on domestic bills.
