Taxi fares are to rise for first time in three years


by Natalie Cox : .


T A X I fares in the Ribble Valley are going up for the first time in three years. ' , From September 1st, a jour­


ney of up to one mile will cost


passengers 50p more. And for those travellingmore


than a mile, it will cost 35p for each one-fifth mile compared to the current charge of 30p. The decision to increase fares


was made by hackney carriage proprietors and private hire oper­ ators at their annual meeting with


Ribble Valley Borough Council. On Monday night, it was rub­


ber-stamped by members of the borough's Policy and 'Finance Committee. Other issues raised at the annu­


al meeting which were referred t o ; borough councillors included the .


; lack of female taxi drivers. How­ ever, no one took up a suggestion put forward by Coun. Philip Nierop (Bolton-by-Bowland) to open up another 10 licences to female drivers. He said: "We should go the


whole hog and say we are in favour of positive discrimination.

Break-in at cricket club


THIEVES went to extraordinary lengths to gain access to the func­ tion room and bar area of Read Cricket Club. But the only items


they took away in the raid on Sunday night were a pair of 3ft.-high speakers worth £140. They forced a lock to


gain access to an out­ building, from which they removed ladders. These enabled them to climb on to the roof, dis­ able the security light and alarm box and get into the main building.

tackled the Three Peaks Challenge twice and to get fit for next week he has been training keenly. . Each step that Mark


takes will benefit cancer sufferers, as he is being sponsored to raise money for the charity Cancer Research UK. Mark, a father-of-two, has been promised around £700 to

Now it’s training for tenants


BOTH members and officials of Rib­ ble Valley Borough Council go on training courses - now tenants can do so as well. . Several measures are being adopted


locally to meet the Government's insis­ tence that tenants of council proper­ ties have as big a say in their affairs as possible. - A report to the council's Housing


Committee gives details of an agree­ ment between it and the tenants, including the establishment of a pool of people who can be consulted when necessary. "Customer Care Standards for refur­


bishment and planned maintenance are how given out to tenants and regu­ la r feedback on our performance is undertaken,” says the report?'


"Members of the Tenants’ Partner:


ship Panel are being actively encour­ aged to attend training courses. One member has already attended a course on ’Introduction to repairs and main­ tenance1. Another is to attend, with the tenant liaison officer, the Tenant Participation Conference in July." ■ Government policy on e-technology


means that a computer with Internet access has been provided at Showley Court, Clayton-le-Dale, and residents will soon be offered-training. The council's web site will also


include a page for use by tenants and tenants’ groups.


/ ' . The council's agreement with ten­


ants on consultation is being revised further and will be considered again by the Housing Committee.' ‘


,, M P ’s cal l fo r p o l lu t ion r e se a r ch


PEOPLE campaigning over fears about the fall­ out from the kilns at Castle Cement's Clith­ eroe plant were pleased this week that Ribble Valley MP Mr Nigel Evans has signed an early day motion on pol­ lution. The motion calls for


more research into the link between pollution and asthma, which affects one in eight chil­ dren in his constituency. New scientific research


in America claims to show that pollution can cause asthma. Mr Evans said that


asthma figures in the Ribble Valley were no worse than elsewhere, but added: "People are concerned. There are no two ways about it. If a link between pollution and asthma can be prov­ en, then further mea­ sures would have to be taken to reduce the am­ ount of pollution relea­


sed into the atmosphere." He said: "Children in


the Ribble Valley deserve the right to grow up without the fear of devel­ oping asthma. We need measures in place to make clean air a priority and to reduce levels of nitrogen dioxide, low- level ozone and other pollutants that are known to trigger astma ® Early day motions


are notices of motions given by MPs which are not expected to be debat­ ed. It is a device to draw attention to an issue and to elicit support by invit­ ing other MPs to add their signatures.
