Concerto — a car with class — takes to the road this week


HONDA is hoping to rock the family saloon market in the UK with its latest car, the Concerto, which has the performance and mod cons of top-of-range models at a fraction of the price.


ranging from £9,000 to £12,000, the Concerto could become a popular company car, as well as sought-after by private buyers, for it has been designed to provide maxi­ mum value for money in servicing terms, as well as being low-priced. It is undoubtedly a car

AS a result of the intense matter of community fac and Langho, I think it is a Conservative councilloi parishes of Billington and ble Valley Council, I ma quite clear.


My view, which inciden­


tally has been held by Bil­ lington Parish Council over the years, is that the needs of the community would be best served by two community halls, one in Billington and one in Langho. Had there been any


serious attempt by the parish council or any other community-based group to satisfy this need, as a Rib- ble Valley councillor I would have done my best to persuade the borough council to support this objective. However, since this has


not happened, I will fully support the efforts of the Billington and Langho Community Association to provide a single facility of a larger and better type adjacent to St Leonard’s' o\ Church and School. I do not disagree with


any of the statistics put forward by Coun. Carr, whom I have known for many years, but I do dis- pi agree with his interpreta- ti tion and conclusions. He is C right when he says that such a facility is only sup­ ported by a minority of the electorate. However, if he pursues


this argument to the ulti­ mate and examines elec­ toral statistics, he will find it impossible to justify any of the sendees provided by
