The new Autumn range. From the Craftsman to the Customer
NO cash will be coming to the Ribble Valley to enable residents to cast e-votes at May's
elections. Members of Ribble Valley Borough,Coun
cil's Policy and Finance Committee decided to decline the Government's invitation to undertake an electronic electoral pilot pro gramme.. And in response to a consultation paper on
a policy for electronic democracy, members expressed some concerns, although accepting that technological advances mean voting systems have to move on. The council's Director of Legal Services,
Mr Paul Timson, said that electronic voting on its own would not solve the problem of low turnout. He added that unless people could trust
the system and knew-there would be no opportunities for people to vote more than once of in someone else's name, there would be no confidence in it. Mr Timson added that the Government's consultation paper did not address these issues. Said Mr Timson: "There could be undue inf luence over people.
“Currently when people mark a ballot
paper no one influences whore they put their cross, but, if voting from home through a digital television or mobile, no one would know the influence or pressure being put on them. This paper does not address that prob lem." He added that in view of the complexity
of Ribble Valley’s borough and parish elec tions -where. 76 separate elections could take place - together with the use, for the first time, of new wards, e-voting could cause unnecessary complications, but would be something the council might consider in the future. And Chief Executive Mr David Morris
said the council was not being negative, but saying it was more concerned about coercion on people to vote and on holding proper elec tions. He added: "We are not backward in look ing forward and do recognise things have to
move on." Members agreed to decline the invitation
to apply for an electoral pilot for the May elections.

Bench and councillors clash over proposals about licensing laws
LOCAL magistrates and members of - Ribble Valley Borough Council have, disagreed about government plans to
modernise the drink licensing laws. Valley resident Mr Roger Brickell, chair
man of Blackburn, Darwen and Ribble Val ley Licensing Justices, wrote to the council's i Chief Executive to argue why magistrates should retain responsibility for licensing, rather than transferring the work to local authorities - a move which had been wel comed by Ribble Valley Borough Council
two years ago. In his letter, Mr Brickell said it had always
been the view of magistrates that this would "be a contest" between them and councillors. Members of the Policy and Finance Com
mittee heard that Mr Brickell, a member of the National Licensing Committee of the Magistrates' Association, based his argument on a number of issues. He cited the "strong relationship" between
the consumption of excessive alcohol, violent crime and public disorder. Mr Brickell wrote: "Since magistrates are heavily involved in the control of violent disorder, it is thought that they should retain primary control of sale of alcohol. There is certainly a strong feeling that the status quo should be maintained in this area on the basis of 'if it's not broke, do not fix
it'."
He added that if the work were transferred to the borough council, the authority would
become responsible for licensing 104 public houses, 24 restaurants and 36 off-licences, together with the granting of licences to licensees. -■ - Mr Brickell concluded by saying that the
greatest area for concern would be the unknown increase in costs, which he said may not be met by increased Government funding. As a result, he called on the borough council to back the magistrates and "advise Government that it would prefer retention of the status
quo". Two years ago members of the Policy and
Finance Committee had welcomed the propos als set out in the Government's White Paper, particularly the transfer of responsibility to district councils, subject to the necessary resources being provided. The council said it would ensure greater local accountability. At a meeting of the Policy and Finance
Committee, Mr Paul Timson, the Director of Legal Services, suggested that members remind the magistrates of their original response to the document, stating that in prin ciple they are in favour of the changes, if resources are provided.. Coun. Howel Jones (Clitheroe) said he felt
there was nothing in the letter to alter the council's view: "I do not think anything there does anything to change our view that licences should be done at this end." Members unanimously agreed to respond
to the letter by reiterating their original response.
Safeguards against
illegal meat imports inadequate — NFU
ON the anniversary of the end of last year's foot and mouth disease outbreak a survey has found controls on the illegal importation of meat are still inade quate. The National Farmers*
Union asked 10,000 trav ellers if they had seen posters informing them of the dangers of illegally imported food stuffs and if their baggage had been examined by sniffer dogs or checked by officials when entering the coun try.
Foot and mouth disease -
is considered to have been brought into Britain by illegally imported meat.
' The results, from the nationwide, survey :foundf'.
that more than 95% of the people surveyed had been given no information about the dangers They had not seen any-
posters nor had they heard any anouncements broad cast s as they passed through British airports
and ferry ports. .
Less than half of one percent of the travellers
surveyed had their bags checked and not one person had seen sniffer dogs in action. Many farmers in the
Ribble Valley suffered as a result of the foot and mouth disease outbreak and the methods adopted for its eradication. Mr Ben Gill, NFU presi
dent said: "Farmers are angry that the Govern ment still seems not to take the issue of illegally imported foods seriously and implement the neces sary rigorous controls." The European Commis
sion has decided to prohibit the personal importation of meat and milk products
into the EU from January
2003. . The" Government's own reports into the outbreak recommended
that
DEFRA should be given the responsibility for increasing efforts to keep out illegally imported meat.
