1 Electoral Review 2017 South Gloucestershire Unitary
ELECTORAL REVIEW 2017 SOUTH GLOUCESTERSHIRE UNITARY COUNCIL COMMENTS ON DRAFT RECOMMENDATIONS FROM HANHAM WARD DISTRICT COUNCILLORS We submit the following comments and proposals on the Electoral Commission’s draft recommendations. We note that the Commission proposes retaining the Hanham Ward as a three Member Ward taking account of the projected increase in electors under the current review. We supported the Conservative Group proposal which reduced the seat to a two Member Ward if retaining the three Member Ward entailed bringing in additional electorate from the Woodstock Ward. The Commission’s proposal to expand into the Woodstock Ward (WSC register) would not, in our view, preserve or enhance community ties or make local government more effective. It would, in our opinion, disenfranchise residents in that area and destroy the cohesiveness of the Hanham Ward. We believe that the only viable and logical option if Hanham Ward is to remain a three Member Ward is to expand towards the east into Hanham Abbots (approx. 1,843 electors, 2023 estimate). This would incorporate the east ward of Hanham Abbots parish council, which is currently in the Longwell Green District Ward, into the Hanham District Ward. The west ward of the parish council is already within Hanham Ward. We believe this would strengthen community cohesion, ensure continuity in the decision-making process and enable a seamless delivery of services by the parish council. Below we set out our reasons. Hanham Ward is located on the urban fringe of South Gloucestershire and has strong ties with the rural setting and Green Belt land (Hanham Hills) of Hanham Abbots.

Review of Community Governance in the Unparished Area of Durham City Carried out by Durham County Council Final Recommendations
Review of Community Governance in the Unparished Area of Durham City carried out by Durham County Council Final Recommendations (No Parishing Arrangements) On 26 October 2011, the County Council approved terms of reference for the conduct of a Community Governance Review in the area of Durham City. The terms of reference were published on 1 November and included the terms of the petition which had been received from residents requesting the establishment of a town council. Although the petition was not compliant with the legislation the Council decided to undertake the review. On 21 st March 2012, the Council approved Draft Recommendations for a second period of consultation with Durham. This draft can be accessed at www.durham.gov.uk/communitygovernance On 25 July 2012, the Council approved a further consultation of the areas of Aykley Vale, Priory Road and Dryburn Park to request whether the residents of these areas would prefer to be either simply parished, or to join Framwellgate Moor Parish Council. The Review The Council is carried out this review under the Local Government Public Involvement in Health Act 2007 (‘the Act’). It was known to the Council that there was a wish in the area by some residents to have the review with a view to establishing parish council arrangements. The review was however delayed whilst the Council was waiting for the Local Government Boundary Commission for England recommendations in relation to electoral arrangements for County Durham, following Local Government Reorganisation in 2009. The review was commenced before final recommendations were published by the Boundary Commission in order to enable the Council to put in place any electoral arrangements for any parish council established by the review in time for the County Council elections on 2 May 2013.

Geography, Background Information, Civil Parishes and Islands
Geography – Background Information – Civil Parishes and Islands Civil Parishes Geography Branch first began plotting postcode boundaries in 1973. In addition to the creation of postcode boundaries, Geography Branch also assigned each postcode to an array of Scottish boundary datasets including civil parish boundaries. From 1845 to 1930, civil parishes formed part of Scotland’s local government system. The parishes, which had their origins in the ecclesiastical parishes of the Church of Scotland, often overlapped the then existing county boundaries, largely because they reflected earlier territorial divisions. Parishes have had no direct administrative function in Scotland since 1930. In 1930, all parishes were grouped into elected district councils. These districts were abolished in 1975, and the new local authorities established in that year often cut across civil parish boundaries. In 1996, there was a further re-organisation of Scottish local government, and a number of civil parishes now lie in two or more council areas. There are 871 civil parishes in Scotland. The civil parish boundary dataset is the responsibility of Geography Branch. The initial version of the boundaries was first created in the mid-1960s. The boundaries were plotted on to Ordnance Survey 1:10,000 maps using the written descriptions of the parishes. In the late 1980s Geography Branch introduced a Geographic Information System (called ‘GenaMap’) to its working practices. At this point the manually-plotted civil parish boundaries were digitised using the GenaMap system. In 2006, GenaMap was replaced by ESRI’s ArcGIS product, and the civil parish boundaries were migrated to the new system. At this stage, the Ordnance Survey digital product MasterMap was made available as the background map for Geography Branch’s digitising requirements.

Thanington Without Civil Parish and Council As Seen
THANINGTON WITHOUT CIVIL PARISH AND COUNCIL AS SEEN FROM THEIR MINUTE BOOKS 1894-1994 - AN INITIAL ASSESSMENT By Clive. H. Church ‘Rufflands’ 72A New House Lane, Canterbury CT 4 7BJ 01227-458437 07950-666488 [email protected] Originally posted on the website of Thanington Without Civil Parish Council on 4 April 2005 in PDF and HMTL versions. Subsequently updated and illustrated in 2014. For the original see http://www.thanington-pc.gov.uk/pchistory/history.html 1 THANINGTON WITHOUT CIVIL PARISH AND COUNCIL, AS SEEN FROM THEIR MINUTE BOOKS, 1894-1994 Tracing the development of a parish and its council is not easy. Neither constituents nor historians pay them much attention. Despite its importance in the past, local government is not now well regarded thanks to the centralization and mediaization of British political culture. Moreover, although there are many sources, including the recollections of parishioners, they are often not easily available. And memories are often fallible. However, we can get some way towards understanding them through their minute books. For, while these are far from complete records, they do allow us an insight into the organization and attitudes of a council as it emerged from the changing pattern of local government in England. For civil parishes have never been able to decide their own organization. This has been laid down by national legislation. In other words, they are creatures of Parliament. In the case of Thanington Without the minute books allow us to trace the evolution of both the original Parish Meeting and its successor and, after 1935, of the Parish Council itself.

As a result they find themselves bereft of the assets that can help to contribute to the development of vibrant and active communities. However on a more positive note, the past decade has also seen a significant rise in communities becoming more active and joining together to save and take over assets which are significant for them. Part 5 Chapter 3 of the Localism Act, and the Assets of Community Value (England) Regulations, which together deliver the Community Right to Bid, aim to encourage more of this type of community-focused, locally-led action by providing an important tool to help communities looking to take over and run local assets.

Northwood Plan.Pub
Northwood Parish Plan October 2007 Contents 4 Foreword 5 An Introductory Summary 7 Background to the Parish Plan 8 Our Community - a Brief Overview 13 How the Parish Plan Was Created 15 Summary of Consultation Outcomes 18 Subject Areas • Social and Community • Services • Economic • Land and Environment 39 The Next Steps 40 The Parish Action Plan 45 Sustainability 46 Appendix • Questionnaire Responses, including Quotations • Community Organisations and Contacts • Acknowledgements Copies of this document may be obtained in large print by contacting Paul Fuller 289595 - 74 Wyatts Lane 3 Foreword Work started on the Parish Plan in 2003, although it wasn’t until 2005 when the IW Rural Community Council embraced the perseverance of the Northwood Community Partnership in seeing the Parish Plan properly funded, and this was when the hard work really began. At that time, Northwood ‘broke the mould’ in that we became the first unparished area in the country to receive funding from a RCC for its Parish Plan. With our new Parish Council being established next year, it is with pride that our community has created this Parish Plan based upon the views that Northwood holds most passionately. I hope when reading this Plan it becomes clear how strongly some residents feel about Northwood, and what we can do as a community to preserve, enhance and develop the village for future generations. By doing much of the work ourselves, we have ensured that sufficient funding remains to allow each household in the village to receive a copy of this Plan. I would like to thank everyone who has contributed, all local and all voluntarily, particularly my predecessors Mike Andrew and Councillor Roger Mazillius, for being ’volunteered’ to co- ordinate the Plan when nobody else wanted to! The time to prepare, write and evaluate the consultation processes for the Parish Plan has been immense, and created many sleepless nights for those involved.

New Town Or Parish Councils in Taunton? Have Your Say
Community Governance Review of the Unparished Area of Taunton Communications Master Text NEW TOWN OR PARISH COUNCILS IN TAUNTON? HAVE YOUR SAY Somerset West and Taunton Council is carrying out a review to decide on whether changes should be made to the existing local governance arrangements, including whether or not new town or parish councils should be set up in those parts of Taunton where they don’t currently exist, ‘the Unparished Area’. All local residents and organisations are invited to give their views. What is a Community Governance Review? A Community Governance Review is a formal process involving consultation with local electors and other interested parties on potential changes such as creating new parishes, setting up or abolishing town/parish councils, changing their boundaries or electoral arrangements. What are town and parish councils? Town and parish councils exist in many areas, both rural and urban, and are the most local tier of government in England. Somerset West and Taunton Council as a ‘principal council’ is responsible for deciding whether to create, amend or abolish parish areas within its boundaries and whether to establish a council to serve any parish. A parish council that serves a town area may decide to call itself a ‘town council’. Town and parish councils do not have statutory responsibility for services such as social care, education or housing but they may decide to provide some local services for their residents or in some cases to take over responsibility for services previously delivered by Somerset West and Taunton Council. Town and parish councils also represent their communities.

All communities were presented as being readily able to participate in this new regime with Ministers declaring it perfectly conceived to encourage greater involvement from a wider range of people. Set against such claims, whilst addressing significant gaps in the evidence, this paper provides a critical review of participation in neighbourhood planning, supported by original empirical evidence drawn from case study research.
