the standards by which Ribble Valley Borough Council aims to deliver services. The new look docu­


ment also outlines how members of the public dissatisfied with council services can complain. The borough council


employs 270 staff and provides services to 55,000 residents, 2,345 businesses and thou­ sands of visitors. Its general fund budg­


et for 2006/07 was £6.3m. and it has one of the lowest council tax rates in the North West. The Citizens’ Charter


lists dozens of service delivery targets, from emptying bins and cleaning the streets to collecting council tax and determining plan­ ning applications. Ribble Valley Council Leader Michael Ranson


/ ,


said: "The Citizens' Charter is one of the most important docu­ ments produced by the council this year and I urge as many residents as possible to request a copy, ensure their servic­ es are being delivered to a satisfactory standard


and let us know if they are not.” The council has a rig­


orous complaints proce­ dure and the charter outlines what people can do if they feel the coun­ cil is not providing serv­ ices to the specified standard.


Copies of the charter


are available from the council’s Corporate Ser­ vices Unit on 01200 414592 or www.ribble- valley.gov.uk Our picture shows

Make a special


resolution FOR a New Year’s resolu­ tion with a difference, why not think about helping your local area? By applying for a Lan­


cashire County Council Local Grant, people can make a practical change th a t will benefit their wider local community. County Coun. Hazel


Harding explained: “Local grants have already been given out to an incredible range of groups. “There is still some


funding available from county councillors for schemes in your area. To apply for funding or to find out more about local grants, contact your local county councillor who I’m sure will be happy to offer advice and support.” Each county councillor


has a fund of £1,250 to distribute to schemes of their choice, via the Lan­ cashire Local committees. Held in each district


across the county, Lan­ cashire Local committees are made up of all county councillors who represent the district, along with an equal representative number of district coun­ cillors.
