■ 14 .• Clitheroe Advertiser &Times, Thursday, March 5th, 2009 ;


We are all fighting for our survival!


.V,LAM writing iii_replyito the notice -


y ; by Bibble Valley Council in the ■ Advertiser and Times.last week


; . regarding.proposed rises of up. t o , '. 25 % in fees paid by t ^ drivers an d ; : operators in the Kibble Valley.


■ < . Don’t they realise there is a reces^ ■ sion going on atTthe moment and • when thiiigs get tough; one of th e ; first things people cut back’on are ' taxis?


' ' I have seen a downturn ihbusiness of up to 60% in the last six months and, talking to other operators, i t ;


j - week without the local council,who, i think it is okay to implement such huge rises, thinking of adding more expense to an already tight budget. , ,


• Vi If I had not bought the newspaper, I would not have known about the j


■ rises because, as usual; ho one from > the council has talked to the opera-.”


- evening when the “A-2-Z of Line i Dances” takes place will be Tuesday, March 31st; s t r in g at 7-30 p.m'. We will make a night of it with tea and


.'coffee available, bring-you-own food and other drinks if you vrish.


,: Anyone wanting to support the


• ; seems to be the norm. I employ local Kibble Valley residents and am find- ■ ing it hard to find their wages everyf,


dances is available from me via e- mail a t: john.barber28@btinter- net.com.


s- It is a very sad fact that any one of us may need the support of the


; Marie Curie Care team directly or through family members and we aim- to help them continue this care in -


- the Kibble Valley. Support and dona­ tions-will be very welcome. •


: tors over this or any other matters - which affect us, yet we have a yearly- ■ ..meeting with the council who never . ; seem to listen to the drivers or opera- ? ' ;.tors.

; V. D a s t year I had to remind the>' , ; chairman th a t the meeting was, ; about taxis when she tried to ride • roughshod over a matter that was y


i being discussed after she seemed to . : . think she had heard enough, and :■ seemed to want^ to.be somewhere . ' ' ' else.


' ■ - ■•I wonder if the council would put ■


. - th’e local council tax up by such a large increase in good times, never,


: ' mind in a recession? T don’t think '• they would get away with it. .. ’y y


. Every year we have to endure.- . large rises in fees. The amount of taxis in the Valley has got ridiculous,.. . therefore making it harder to make a


' living. I am not against competition, ■ 'but when you are using quality cars ■; and putting staff in uniforms there is • '


'■a. price to pay and yet the local coun­ cil doesn’t seem to want to support us. ■ So please Kibble Valley Council, ■ see sense and freeze these ridiculous r


: • and outrageous price increases. PAUL JACKSON,
