Inside Story.” published by Headline Hooks, has been written by Harry Harris, chief soccer writer for "The Daily Mirror," and Mr Curry, who is chief soccer writer for "The Daily Express.” Formerly of Ciitheroe, .Mr Curry now lives in


The book gives an


Surrev and has worked for "The Daily Express" since llltiti. He still has many relatives and friends in the Ribblc


Valley. Together with Harry


Harris, Mr Curry has built up a complete portrait of the man from Dagenham who, after an illustrious playing career, made a natural progression into football management. His ambitions of


owning his own football club and managing England have been fulfilled, hut not without some sensational hiccups


along the way. The book details the


in-depth picture of the man who, as a player, a


behind-the-scenes manoeuvres leading to the deal he and Alan Sugar struck to buy Tottenham Hotspur and how he was later deposed by Sugar who, it emerged, had plenty of reasons for his actions, as Venables’ business dealings were exposed in television programmes and a scries of newspaper articles which the authors have detailed.


Despite all the


allegations, Venables remains a hugely popular


manager, a TV scriptwriter, a board


game inventor and much-loved soccer pundit, seemed to have the golden touch until he came up against Alan Sugar.


The authors reveal the


crucial documents which explain how his fortunes


suddenly reversed and how Venables made his most remarkable comeback as the manager of England. The book has been described as a truly intriguing read!

Costly war of words


D E E C E H U S a


Council confirmed that a copy of the letter was sent to all Ribble Valley resi­ dents who wrote to the Local Government Com­ mission pleading against a carve-up and said the cost of postage — in the region of £250 — would come from Countv Hall coffers. Mr Roy Rich, the


county council's Local Govern m ent R e v i e w officer, commented: “ It is important that information is given to those who backed the preservation of the Ribble Valley. That is why Lancashire County Council contacted those who had made that view


known. "People are entitled to


the maximum information on this important issue, which could change the face of the Ribble Valley


for decades.” F o rm e r C i i th e r o e


county councillor Ron Pickup, who is spearhead­ ing the "Friends" cam­ paign, reacted angrily to Mr Pressley's comments, claiming that his organisa­ tion's initiative would cost taxpayers "nil.” He said: “We have been


overwhelmed with the backing we have had from people from all walks ol life. We have received


donations of more than £10,000 from individuals and organisations through­ out Lancashire, enabling us to place advertisements in local newspapers.” Mr Pickup added that


the campaign’s fighting fund had already broken through the £10,000


barrier. Ribble Valley Council


corporate planner Miss Pamela Dearden, mean­ while, defended the coun­ cil’s decision to co-fund the eight-district newspaper advertisement. She said: "The joint


advert is not a method that the Ribble Valley Council would normally have chosen to inform the public, but due to the mass of misinformation in circu­ lation recently, from many sources, we felt it neces­ sary to join seven other Lancashire districts to provide a public informa­ tion advert which we hope has put the record straight on a number of issues." Mr Jack Wilson, chair­


man of the Lancashire Association of District Councils, is known to have written to Lancashire County Council leader Mrs Louise Ellman, asking her to clarify the financial relationship between County Hall and t h e "Friends of Lancashire Trust."


THE RED ROSE COUNTY IS NOT UNDER THREAT!


F A C T S


Lancashir e County Counc i l claims the change will cost more. THIS IS NOT SO.


The Local Government Commission has done its own independent financial calculations and says that change will save up to £8m a year by getting rid of a layer of bureaucracy, and not cost more as claimed by


the County Council.


Lancashire Counfy Council says that the Red Rose of Lancashire wi l l die if the changes go ahead. THIS IS TOTALLY UNTRUE.


The Commission is set to restore the historic County of Lancashire. The cultural and historic identity of the County will be safe including institutions like the Lancashire Cricket Club. All that would go would be an


expensive layer of bureaucracy which has only been in place for twenty years.


Lancashir e County Counc i l claims that services will suffer. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THIS SCAREMONGERING.


In making its proposals the Commission is confident that the new Councils are well up to the job. Indeed, LOCAL councils will be closer to the community they serve and better placed than the County to tailor services to meet


local need.


Lancashire Counfy Council says that Important issues l ike economic development , envi ronmental protect ion and strategic planning will suf fer. HERE THE COUNTY IS EXAGGERATING ITS OWN ROLE.

THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMISSION HAS SAID IT PREFERS ALL-PURPOSE COUNCILS AND THE ABOLITION OF THE COUNT___________ T H E


In truth the District Councils and the County Council work together as equal partners on these issues and the real forum for many decisions is at North West Reqional level not County level. This joint approach to strategic issues will continue if the County Council is


abolished.


Lancashi r e County Counc i l says the chang e s wi l l be less d emo c ra t i c . IN REALITY THE OPPOSITE IS TRUE.


Currently decisions on 85% of your Council Tax are taken by County Councillors in Preston most of whom do not come from, or know, your area. In the proposed new Councils A ll councillors will live or work in the area they serve and have a better understanding of what is best for the future of their area.
