granted because the lake would enhance the area visually, but only on condi tion that it be built to max­ imise its potential as a nat­ ural habitat. Councillors also instruct­

More than £100,000 in unpaid rates and council tax is to be written off


MORE than £100,000 of unpaid community charge, non-domestic rates and council tax is to be w r i t te n off by Ribble Valley Borough


Council. Members of the bor­


ough council’s Policy and Finance Committee heard that despite the majority


of local residents paying on time, the outstanding amounts could now not be recovered. In a number of cases, all efforts to recover the money had failed, with the debtor either having disappeared or been declared bankrupt. Finance director Mr


Marshall Scott told the meeting that the introduc­


tion of the old community charge had brought with it a substantial rise in the level of arrears compared with the former rating sys­ tem and, while the position has improved considerably with the introduction of the council tax, the provision for bad debts had increased significantly in all local authorities. He added: "A large per­


pay." In July, 1997, in a final


centage of people paid their community charge and we would like to pay tribute to them, as we can only collect it if people are willing to


attempt to recover these debts, the majority of the arrears, amounting to more than £95,000 were passed to the borough council's bailiffs for them to attempt collection or, if possible, establish the whereabouts of debtors. As a result, around £12,000 of the out­ standing community charge has been collected, but a number of debtors were no longer traceable. In his report to council­ lors, revenues manager Mr
