THE FUTURE LOCAL GOVERNMENT OF LANCASHIRE YOUR CHANCE TO


HAVE YOUR SAY The Royal Mail has been distributing leaflets on behalf of the Local Government Commission for


England to households throughout the county, seeking residents’ views on the future structure of local government in the area.


The Commission has been directed by Parliament to consider in particular whether a new structure of unitary councils, each delivering the broad range of local government services of your area instead of the existing two-tier structure, would better reflect the identities and interests of local communities and secure effective and ccnvenient local government. It must then recommend to the Government whether there should be changes to the existing structure or whether there should be no changes to the two-tier structure of Lancashire County Council and the Borough, City and District Councils of Blackburn, Blackpool, Burnley, Chorley, Fylde, Hyndburn, Lancaster, Pendle, Preston, Ribble Valley, Rossendale, South Ribble, West Lancashire and Wyre.


The Commission's draft recommendation, and the other structural options which the Commission has identified as being potentially viable for your area, are summarised alongside.


You may have a preference for one of these, or for another option which is not described. Full details of the Commission's draft recommendation and the other options, including parishes where recommended, are given in its consultation report. Copies of which are available locally for reference at main libraries and council offices.


If you have not already done so, let the Commission have your views, either by filling out the questionnaire in the leaflet, or writing a letter and sending it to:


/ Lancashire Review,


Local Government C ommission for England,


FREEPOST WC5626, 101 New London Road, CHELMSFORD CM99 1AN.


These should reach the Commission by August 22 1994.


You do not need to put a stamp on the envelope.

Retaining the present two-tier structure


There would be no change to the existing local government structure, and


Lancashire would retain the county council and the 14 borough/district councils.


The main features of this proposal are: Sense of community


it would retain the current sense ol community which exists in relation to the


county as a whole, and to the main centres within the county.


Services it maintains the existing pattern of services.


Local support would have the support of the county


council and three of the borough/district councils.


Savings and costs this option would not generate any potential savings, but there would be no costs of change.


The County of Lancashire would be retained for ceremonial and traditional purposes, as well as for the. administration of many local services.

forward by the borough/district councils, and all the mergers are supported by at least one of the authorities in the merger.


Savings and costs


we estimate that there will be annual savings of £1 million-£8 million. Start-up costs are projected to be between £21 million-£28 million.


The County of Lancashire


would be retained for ceremonial and traditional purposes.


Option Two F Pendle, Burnley &


Rossendale: as in option 1 .


The main features of this proposal are:


Sense of community similar to, but not as strong as, option 1.


Services it establishes new councils with sufficient resources to carry out major local services.


Local support this option builds upon the proposals put forward by the borough/district councils, but with a greater number of mergers.


Savings and costs


we estimate that there will be annual savings of £9 million-£16 million.Start-up costs are projected to be between £21 million-£28 million.


The County of Lancashire


would be retained for ceremonial and traditional purposes.


Option Three


AN all-out effort by Clilh- eroe’s churches in a truly ecumenical event raised a phenomenal £5,000 for the s t r ic k e n p e o p le of Rwanda.


The money was raised


at a special “Lunch Aid,” held oil Sunday at St Michael and St’ John's Social Centre. It was attended by hun­


dreds of people, some from as far away as Preston,


and among them a visiting priest and his wife from south Africa.
