Government face-to-face meetings ruling met with concern across Lancashire

A government decision that could force councils to return to face-to-face meetings from next month has been met with criticism and concern across much of Lancashire.

In a letter to town and county halls late last month, local government minister Luke Hall said that the success of the vaccine rollout and a fall in the number of Covid cases should ensure a “significant reduction in risk for local authority members meeting in person”.

Town is blighted by out of control fly-tipping

Graffiti in a snicket off Skipton High Street MEMBERS of Skipton Town Council have taken Craven Council to task over the ‘shocking’ state of the town. Areas of Skipton were a disgrace with dumped mattresses, graffiti, abandoned cars and overfilled wheeled bins, spewing out rubbish, said deputy mayor, Darren Shaw and fellow town councillor, David Painter. In a joint presentation to Craven Council’s policy committee, the town councillors compared Skipton to Earby and Barnoldswick, pointing out how neighbouring Pendle Council appeared to be doing a much better job. Historic, cobbled streets in Pendle appeared to be regularly cleaned, there was no dog mess and moss was removed, they pointed out, whereas areas of Skipton were blighted with out of control fly-tipping. In Pendle, wheeled bins were kept tidily inside yards and not left to block accesses, or to look unsightly, with residents threatened with a fine if bins were left out, they said.
