- congratulations from both families.


With love and


cashire. At a meeting of the full bor­


ough council on Tuesday night,' its leader Goun. Chris Holtom (Wilpshire), said predictions he had made in February concern­ ing the council tax appeared to be bearing fruit. •; He said he was happy to report


th a t his forecast, th a t the bor­ ough’s council tax increase of 3.27% was likely to be the one of the lowest in the region, and pos­ sibly among the lowest in Eng­ land, still remained the case. Said Coun. Holtom: “We have


always had a reputation for set­ ting prudent budgets and, impor­ tantly, sticking to them.” Coun. Howel Jones (Clitheroe)


said that since 1996 the borough’s cross-party budget working group had forged certain basic principles, one of which is to try and main­ tain an increase in the budget of around, the rate of inflation. We have not gone for 10% one year and 0% another, we have


STEEL worth £13,700 was stolen from Castle Cement, Clitheroe, on Monday. Two men in a white T ran s i t


van are believed to have spent several hours up to 3-30 p. m. on the Ribblesdale Works complex. Eventually they left with stain­


less steel fishplate-shaped burner parts which had been stored in a warehouse. “Numerous vehicles from all


sor ts of companies vis it the works, so this one was not seen as suspicious by anyone,” said Insp. Bob Ford, of Clitheroe police. ‘I t was in a tidy condition but


Coun. Jones. Au th ority ,,a; typical Band D


house, where there is no parish precept, will receive s council tax bill for £1,137.89 In the coming


financial year. Band B properties with no


additional levy from a parish will get a bill for £885.03, while Band F properties in similar circum­ stances face a total council tax payment of £1,643.62. Residents living in the Ribble


Valley’s parishes will have to pay additional cash, the precept set by the various parish councils. As a result, only properties in Bands A and B, across the entire borough, will have council tax bills less than £ 1,000. Coun. Holtom said the figures


reflected the county’s 9.5% increase and the additional 18.6% being levied by the Police Author­ ity. He concluded: “I will leave the council tax payers of the Rib­ ble Valley to make their own judg­ ment when they receive th eir bills.”


Thieves’ £13,700 steel haul


did have an unusual feature - reg­ istration plates which apparently


read Y062A0H;” Inquiries suggest th a t no


authorities issue such plates. The signage “H & M” was on the side of the van and it is believed this refers to a hire company which has now gone out of business. “This van may have visited
