In the balance


SOLE Labour councillor Coun. Bert Jones (pictured) held the balance of power on Ribble Valley Council after May’s election resulted in the cham­ ber being split equally between Con­ servatives and Liberal Democrats. However, only a week after the


election, the political pendulum swung back to the Right, when Coun Jones (Clitheroe) shocked Liberal Democrat councillors by using his vote to give the Conservatives con­ trol of the hung chamber. The Tory leadership was quick to


deny that a deal had been struck with Coun. Jones in return for his casting vote. Coun. Jones has represented the


Edisford, Low Moor and Trinity ward on Ribble Valley Council for more than 20 years.
