nah Norman. Led by Slaidbum Silver


Band, Miss Norman, who took over from re t iring queen Miss Janet Spence, proceeded th ro u g h the town followed by her sword bearer, Richard Robinson; crown bearer Thomas Norman, tra in bearers Thomas Harrison and Sam Wood; and attendants Louise Simp­ son, Sally Wood, Emma Turner, Emma Simpson, Tom Turner, Seth Blakey, David Robinson and John Norman. She was officially

cynical about bid for award


» i


STAFF of Ribble Valley Borough Council are "cycnical" about efforts to achieve the Investors in People award, says an official. Last night's meeting view it merely as a 'trophy*


of the Personnel Com­ mittee was due to con­ sider a report from Personnel and Admin­ istration Manager Mr Eric Lucas about the


award. ELTEC runs a continu­


al campaign to persuade employers to achieve it and numerous local companies


have. But the council's bid was


deferred over two years ago when a list of procedures needing improvement was made following assess­


ment. Mr Lucas' report says


th a t a performance


appraisal scheme for all staff, and new procedures concerning training, have been introduced. The port­ folio of evidence has been completely revised and updated and ELTEC believes the award can now be achieved. It has suggest­ ed th a t the asessment is


repeated. But Mr Lucas says that


he has concerns regarding staff perceptions of the award and the benefits it brings to them as individu­ als. "In general, staff appear somewhat cynical towards the initiative and


for the organisation, rather than being of any value to them personally," says his


report. Mr Lucas points out


th a t once the award has been achieved, continuous improvements have to be made for re-assessments every three years. Neigh­ bouring authorities with the award had found this an onerous task and a heavy administrative bur­


den. The workload of the per­


sonnel team for the next year is likely to be domi­ nated by the move to give white and blue collar employees the same status and Mr Lucas is concerned about whether the neces­ sary time could be devoted


to the award. "To re-submit and fail


again would be a disaster and we would jeopardise even further the credibility of the initiative within the authority," writes Mr Lucas. He says that the cost of


taking the test would be at least £1,200 plus VAT and asked last night's meeting to consider whether it should proceed with the award.

Licensees need to check they are not breaking the law

cates allow premises to carry on serving alcoho


after hours, as long as food and entertainment are pro­ vided. However, they were

ly replace the hours on the day covered by the certifi­


cate. The implication of such


a change is that drinking must be "ancillary" to the provision of food and entertainment throughout the day when premises are trading with a Special Hours Certificate. This could lead to wholesale changes in the way some


premises are run. Lancashire Constabu­


lary believes most licensees


will comply with the new restrictions voluntarily even though they may have to make some changes to their organisations.
