Hundreds of jobs aresetto be axed by Lancashire County Council and much-loved serv­ ices ended in a massive shake- up of council provision.


Budget proposals announced this week show how Lanca­ shire County Council plans to save £6501. over the next two years, resulting in the loss of anestimated367fulltimejobs. These posts will go on top of


hundreds already agreed and council leader County Coun. Jennifer Mein has warned that some will be compulsory. • Shesaid: “Therealityofour


financial situation is such that we will have to use the bulk of our reserves just to balance the budget over the next two years. And by 2017/18, we will onlyjust have enough money to pay for our statutory serv­ ices. “The scale of the challenge


means that we will have to make ever more difficult de­ cisions. We will do all that we can, and are targeting our re­ sources towards those with the greatest need, but we will have to reduce or stop servic­ es and people will notice the difference. Our priority w i ll ' remain to protect the most vulnerable people in commu­ nities across Lancashire.” The job losses would be in

Residents advised to register to vote now


Ribble Valley residents who


have notregistered to vote are advised to do so by December 1st.


Sweeping changes to the


way residents registered to vote were introduced last summer.


Previously, one person in


every household was respon­ sible for registering everyone who lived at their address. But under the news sys­


tem, called Individual Elec­ toral Registration, or 1ER, each person is now required toregistertovoteindividually, rather than by household. Residents were automati­ cally transferred from the old


to the new register during a transition period. But the transition period


ends on December 1, after which residents who have not registered under IER will be removed. IER is the biggest change


to electoral registration for more than a century and aims to make registration more secure, simpler and faster, while protecting against vot­ ing fraud. Ribble Valley Borough


Council’s electoral and licens­ ing officer, Jane Horsfield, said: “Ribble Valley residents have received letters and re­ minder letters outlining the


newsysteminrecentmonths, but some have still not regis­ tered.” She added: “We are urging


them to complete their online registration by December 1st, or they will be removed from the register and until they reg­ ister under IER will lose their right to yote.” . Further information about


the changes to the electoral registration are available from Ribble Valley Borough Coun­ cil’s electoral registration team by telephoning 01200 414411. Any residents wishing to


register online should visit: gov.uk.
