Priority list for facelifts planned


by Tim Procter


A L IS T of regeneration work priorities has been drawn up by Ribble V a l le y Borough Council. Several of them involve working more closely with


other public and semi-public bodies. The various efforts reflect both local wishes and Government instructions. They are based on commercial and business expan­


sion - which includes the tourist industry. A feature of this includes the possibility of a feasabil-


ity study about better use of the Gisburn Forest and Stocks Reservoir area. Lancashire County County Council is also involved in the idea. Funding for various purposes has consistently been


obtained for the borough, although neighbouring ones with bigger problems find this easier. But Ribble Val­ ley’s officials and councillors will continue to seek as big a share as possible. Other priorities include:- • Helping local business organisations develop exist­


ing firms and encourage new ones. • Working with the East Lancashire Partnership to


promote the borough as a location for investment. ® Helping the development of workspace opportuni­


ties. • Investigating gaps in the currently available busi­


ness support and grant assistance schemes. • Assisting the action plan developed by Clitheroe


the Future, including the market town enhancement scheme.

Survey shows good relations with trust staff


.“NOTABLE” achievements in relations with staff are shown by a survey, says Calderstones NHS Trust.


; Surveys are carried out by other similar trusts and the local one shows more satisfac­ tion levels above the average than below it. ; I t demonstrates year on year improve­ ments, a meeting of the trust board was told. Some 370 staff, 26.4% of the total, chose to


take part in the survey. It showed the management that areas for


development included career progression opp- portuninites, communications to and from the .trust, consultation with staff, pay and the sense of feeling valued by the trust. But responses from the staff indicated a


high level of satisfaction with the identifica­ tion of training and development needs, the time made available to staff for training, active policies for dealing with caring respon­ sibilities, support from managers in address­ ing carer needs, communication between staff and immediate managers, effective working relationships between staff and immediate managers, support by immediate managers 'and proactive steps to prevent harassment and bullying. The trust board has now nominated Direc­


tor of Corporate Strategy Mr Graham Jowett as the person responsible for implementing effective communication with all employees. 1 The board says that it “ undertakes to ensure that all employees are kept regularly informed about the objectives, performance and progress of the trust and acknowledges •that to achieve this a systematic approach is needed to ensure effective communication with all employees.”
