BENEFITS officers a t Ribble Valley Council are among the best in the country. The borough’s BenefitsTeam


has been highlighted as outstand­ ing by a wide-ranging Govern­ ment survey. Ribble Valley Borough Council


was one of only two authorities in the country to be ranked in the top 10 for all seven categories of the 2007 Best Value Benefits Sur­ vey. The survey, conducted national­ ly every three years, asks benefits


claimants across the country to rate their local benefits service. . They are quizzed on a range of criteria, such as face-to-face and telephone contact, and speed of service. Anyone who made a benefit


claim in Ribble Valley between June 1st and July 31st, or Novem­ ber 1st and December 31st last year, or had their claim settled between those dates, was asked to participate in the survey. I t rated Ribble Valley first in


the country in the telephone serv­ ice and speed of service categories, with satisfaction scores of 92% and 88% respectively.


© A DRIVER and passenger were injured in an accident on the A682 on Thursday morning. The pair were travel­ ling towards Gisbum around 8 a.m. in a Renault Clio. It is believed their vehicle was in colli­


sion with a blue Ford Fiesta, which left the scene. The pair were taken to hospi­ tal, but their injuries are not thought to be serious. The accident happened at the "s-


bends” just after the Rimington turn off. Anyone with information is asked to ring Clitheroe police on 01200 458734.'


Next to Tesco’s. Far beyond comparison The authority also came second


in the categories for contact with the benefits office (90%), user- friendliness of benefits forms (77%) and overall satisfaction with the benefits service (92%). Council leader Coun. Michael


Ranson said: “This is a fantastic achievement and illustrates how small authorities can deliver front­ line services efficiently and effec­ tively. Congratulations to the Benefits Team for their superb and praiseworthy work.” The Benefits Team, pictured


celebrating their achievement, administers housing and council tax benefit for 2,500 residents, (s)
