BLUSTERY conditions added to the task of com­ petitors in the fifth annual Bowland hedge-laying competition. Held on land in Pendle­


ton belonging to farmers Mr Harry Whitwell and Mr Richard Collinge, the competition saw 12 entrants battle for the title of best hedger, but only one, Clitheroe's Mr Nor­ man Robinson, was local. Sponsored by Lancashire


County Council, each had to lay between seven and eight yards of hedge in the approved Lancashire style — low and broad to keep


sheep at bay. In the open category for


.Wennington, was victori­ ous and was also judged


hedge professionals and past competition winners, Mr Henry Kirkwood, of


top hedger. In the farmers' class, the


winner was Mr David Hall, of Preston, while, in the novice section, Paul Akrigg, of Keighley, took


first prize. The judges were Mr


Martin Robinson, of the Fylde, and Mr Joe Craig, from Lancaster. All win­ ners are now eligible for the national

COMPETITORS who braved the elements to


lay hedges in Pendleton (070398/20/28a)


Council has a good record on tax


collection


"GENERALLY, I believe that we have a good col­ lection record," says the Ribble Valley’s Director of Finance, Mr Marshall


Scott. The council will soon


send out 23,000 bills to col­ lect a total of £23m. in business rates and council


tax. In a report to the Policy


and Finance Committee, Mr Scott says that 7,000 summonses for council tax arrears were issued last year. About half did not result in payment when due, so a liability order was


issued.These resulted m 1,850 cases where arrangement was reached with the debtor, 1,000 accounts


referred to the bailiffs, and 300 each having money recovered at source from earnings, or income sup­ port payments. . • ■; - f "At all stages my staff'


will endeavour to reach affordable arrangements with debtors," assures Mr


Scott."Where arrangements are agreed, quite often the agreement is not kept and


unfortunately the recovery process begins once more." Mr Scott says tha t


cellor's Budget speech, Mr Evans said: "Gordon Brown has betrayed the trust of middle England. His much- trumpeted bud­ gets of prudence were in reality nothing more than budgets of tax hikes. The average family is now £798 a year worse off since Labour came to power. "In last year’s mini-bud

get we saw tax increases of £22 billion. But last Tues­ day’s budget has dwarfed that figure. The people of the Ribble Valley are con­ siderably worse off today than they were yesterday, thanks to the taxing instincts of the so-called iron Chancellor." He continued: "If the economy is not forced into recession through the sheer weight of extra taxes, it will be no thanks to Gordon Brown and Tony Blair. Labour has never believed in allowing the individual to keep his hard-earned money. These budgets have confirmed what we always feared, tha t Labour is, indeed, the party of high tax."


Praise for the clean air


campaigners


AIR pollution campaigners from the Ribble Valley have won praise for shaping Gov­ ernment thinking on fuel burning at cement works. In paying tribute to their efforts, Coun. Graham


Sowter, chairman of Ribble Valley Borough Council's Community Committee, said that the w o rk of local pressure groups had been instrumental in achieving a new and more stringent


policy document. Currently at consulta­


tion level, the document examines Cemfuel alterna­ tives for burning in cement


and lime kilns. It also updates the 1994


efforts are made to avoid having to take businesses to court and obviously attachment of earnings or income support are not options. He comments: "There is always a difficult balance between pursuing debtors vigorously and being sympathetic where individuals or indeed com­ panies are in difficulty."


Bedford Protocol, which sets outs operator require­ ments for trialing substi­


tute fuels.Now Coun. Sowter and committee colleagues Coun. Frank Dyson and Coun. Colin Bacon are to join council officers in drafting a Ribble Valley response to the documents authors, the Environment Agency, to offer local sup­ port for its adoption.
