Asian〔(Neighbourhood Statistics: Ribble Valley )〕 |website = (ribblevalley.gov.uk ) }} Ribble Valley is a local government district with borough status within the non-metropolitan county of Lancashire, England. Its council is based in Clitheroe. Other places include Whalley, Longridge and Ribchester. The area is so called due to the River Ribble which flows in its final stages towards its estuary near Preston. The area is popular with tourists who enjoy the area's natural unspoilt beauty, much of which lies within the Forest of Bowland. The district was formed on 1 April 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972, as a merger of the municipal borough of Clitheroe, Longridge urban district, Clitheroe Rural District, part of Blackburn Rural District, part of Burnley Rural District, and part of Preston Rural District, as well as the Bowland Rural District from the West Riding of Yorkshire, hence the addition of the Red Rose of Lancaster and White Rose of York on the council's coat of arms. == Politics == Elections to the borough council are held every four years, with all of the 40 seats on the council being filled at each election. After being under no overall control for a number of years, the Conservative party gained a majority at the 2003 election, when boundary changes saw the number of councillors increase by one. Following the United Kingdom local elections, 2011 and subsequent by-elections,〔http://www.ribblevalley.gov.uk/downloads/file/7794/result_of_poll_salthill_ward_of_ribble_valley_borough_council〕〔http://www.ribblevalley.gov.uk/info/200221/elections/1457/littlemoor_ward_byelection〕 the political composition of Ribble Valley Borough Council is as follows: 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ribble Valley」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
