one thing. At long last they have rea lised the building never was suitable as a Civic Hall, a statement I have been making in this paper for at least 25 years. Then Coun. Clegg was advocat ing re-flooring, Coun. Bert Jones said we had a duty to provide the amenity and Coun. G. Mitchell stated: “If it’s losing money, shut it”. My reaction was in agreement with Coun. Mitchell, and to proride the town with an up-to-date library, so after 25 years I have achieved at least two of my objectives.

they so keen on the idea? Free enter prise is the prevailing theme of the present Government, so why don’t we offer the whole shooting match to the present managers and the council pull out completely? If, as you state Mr Taylor, you visualise a new era, they should jump at the chance. I suggest you sit down and study the accounts of the so-called Civic Hall. For your infor mation, and the councillors, the cinema lost £24,000 in 1981. In the same year council recommended spending £65,000 to repair the rear wall, subsequently
carried out, of which £10,000 was con sultants’ fees. I could go on — but, if our council runs true to form, I am wasting my time. Coun. Bert Jones,
who has always been a stout defender of the hall — how many times, sir, do you and your fellow councillors support the cinema?
Mr Taylor, you made a statement
which was untrue: “Every house in the Ribble Valley received a question naire about the cinema.” I live on Beverley Drive and we certainly didn’t receive a questionnaire. I could con-,
tinue, but my garden calls and I am sure I shall derive more satisfaction from my efforts with the soil than with
you and the council.

farce? For one member of the cast, it was certainly a tragedy, but for many members of the public sitting in the gallery it seemed as though the “panto” season had started a little early this year. Rumours had circulated before the show opened
Did it end up as a tragedy or just another
that, contrary to usual practice, the role of lead ing lady was to be contested. With the cast split exactly down the middle, it was going to be up to the Fairy Godfather, Coun. Bert Jones, to determine the issue. However, he had already given notice of which way he was going to jump, so much of the drama had been dissipated. Proposing the new leading lady, Coun. Eileen
Lowe, Sabden, the leader of tne Liberal Democrats said how much _ he regretted the petty party politics of the Conservative group. Seconding the proposal, Coun. Dyson, the Liberal Democrats’ hatchet man, paid tribute to the retiring leading lady, Coun. Dorothy Pearson. She had worked tirelessly for Rib ble Valley during her year in office, he said. Contrary to expectations, there being no Conservative nomina tion, Coun. Lowe was unanimously elected Mayor by all the cast. Hoping tu redress the balance of power 12 months
hence, the leader of the Conservative group, Coun. Holtom, proposed Coun. Warkman, Mellor, as Deputy Mayor. He had had previous experience in this supporting role some years ago, although at that time he had not lasted through all the rehearsals, resigning some time before taking centre stage. At this stage the plot thickened. Suddenly,
seeing the chance of more leading roles in the future, the Liberal Democrats’ legal eagle, Coun. K. Hooper and their preacher-man, Coun. D. McWilliam, were on their feet proposing and seconding a rival for the role, Coun. Mrs J. Grimes. So it was put to the vote and, with the Fairy Godfather supporting the Conservative candidate,

the result seemed a foregone conclusion — 20 votes to
19 for Coun. Warkman. Gasps of astonishment came from the public assem
bled in the gallery when the voting figures were announced by stage manager “Ossie” — 19 votes each. What on earth had happened? Had a Conserva tive member suddenly had to go to the loo and miss the crucial vote? Not on your life. The whips had not cracked hard
A
enough and there had been an abstention. Heads on the left-hand side of the stage — left from the pub lic gallery — turned and twisted. Who had done the dastardly deed? At least it now seems the member for Aighton, Bailey and Chaigley had the moral fibre not just to follow party instructions. Trying to put on a brave face, the Conservative
leader was immediately on his feet proposing Conser vative chairmen and vice-chairmen for the ensuing year. He hadn’t a hope. The Liberals, on the right hand
side of the stage, defeated the proposition — and then it was their turn. Seconding the new council
leader’s proposition for Liberal chairmen and vice- chairmen of all the council’s committees, Coun. Dyson, cock-a-hoop at the evening’s performance, said: “The Conservatives have been in power since 1974. It is time for a change and there will be a
change.” As proposals for representation on outside bodies - . .
were raised, the Conservative leader waved the white flag and surrendered power to the Liberals. ■ So the performance was nearly over. Unfortuna
tely, the new leading lady forgot her stage directions and started to leave the “set” without her atten dant and the mace and then, amid more confusion, she went one way and the mace the other. Then the 39 councillors, their spouses, guests and
stage staff were off to the “after show” dinner at an approximate cost to the council taxpayers of between £2,000 and £2,500. Add to this the £40,000 lost on closed circuit TV cameras — and it all adds up to another expensive month. Rehearsals — sorry committee meetings — for the
new and upcoming stars commence tonight, May 23rd, so they have plenty of time to get their act together for the next full production on July 9th. I must get a season ticket. In the meantime, are we going to have resigna
tions? Are heads going to roll? Watch this space. AQUARIUS
