lack of consultation on changes Members express disquiet over area boards plan


1’AKISH councillors have oxiirossod annor over proposals to radically alter tin' laeo ot local govorniuont


in tho Kibble Valiev. The owrwht ' lmiug feeling at a


meeting tit ll\e Parish Lounoils' l.iaisen t'emmittet* was that pa r ­ ish councils shnuM h aw been consultetl about the changes.


The me e t in g wa s iust two


n ig h t s a l t e r th e Pol icy ami resourc e s Pommi l tee agreed to


recommend that the Tull council approve proposals contained in a rep o r t e n t i t led "Towa rd s the Affirmative Authority."


Tlie main thrust of the docu­


ment is that the number of com­ mi t tees he reduced from HI to lhree. with various sub-commit- toes and policy working groups,


and that three’ area boards be int reduced.


Vandalism of litter


bins creates


a dilemma F l lK v a n d a l i sm of an


important local amenity is wast ing valuable commu­ ni ty money and p u t t ing borough councillors in a dilemma.


The cost of replacing


vandalised l itter bins has bci n estimated at around f i t . 000 in th e la s t six months alone.


Speaking on the predo­


minantly modern phenom­ enon in the past , the need to replace existing l i t te r bins has been, by and large, as a result of


normal wear and tear Poun. Myra Plegg asked: ”!>»» we cut something else


that is wry important to t ho people of t his borough or do u e continue to pro vide mo •« ami more li tter bins'."'


With the borough coun­


cil having spent i ts full a l locat ion of f-J.bOll on


equipment a l re ad y this


vear. this leaves no scope f o r im p r o v o m o i i t o r ex p an s io n of th e bas ic service.


At the same time, there


are nearly -IbO li tter bins sited throughout the bor ­ ough ami only a smal l n umb e r of tho counci l's a l lo c a t ion r em a i n s in stock. Over IV'v have had to tv installed because the original bin has been van­ dalised. mainly by being burnt .

The views of the commi t tee Kibble Valley PounciTs senior
