Ribble Valley Council is proposing to invest millions in local projects like Ribblesdale Swimming Pool and artificial sports pitches, accelerating spending plans in response to potential national council reforms.
Ribble Valley Council is considering investing millions of pounds in local projects over the next two years, including upgrades to Ribblesdale Swimming Pool, Clitheroe Castle, new artificial sports pitches in Longridge, play areas, and parks. This accelerated spending plan comes amid potential reforms or abolition of English councils by Westminster, with the government exploring restructuring options.
The council's Community Services Committee has agreed to shorten the timelines for spending an estimated £6.7 million on major capital projects, aiming to complete them within two years instead of five. While the exact details are still being finalized, the council has earmarked around £2 million for Ribblesdale pool, £1 million for Clitheroe Castle, £1.2 million for artificial sports pitches in Longridge, £750,000 for play areas, and £250,000 for parks. Council members acknowledged the need for careful planning and consideration of costs, emphasizing the importance of ensuring projects are achievable within the proposed timeframe
