High Peak Borough Council BUXTON APPENDIX 1 Electoral – statistics 2018 11 existing Councillors Electorate forecast 18766 Overall electorate per councillor target is 1765 PROPOSAL Summary of changes Area Existing Existing Existing Proposed New Proposed Ward No. of Ward: Electoral Wards: No. of Councillors Electoral Wards Electoral Councillors Variance Variance (2018) % % BUXTON Barms 1 -3 Barms -3 1 Burbage 1 +18 Burbage +2.89 1 Buxton 2 0 Buxton 0 2 Central Central Corbar 2 -11 Corbar -6.17 2 Cote 2 -8 Cote -8.10 2 Heath Heath Stone 2 -1 Stone -1 2 Bench Bench Temple 1 -12 Temple -6.28 1 OVERVIEW 3 of the existing Wards within Buxton are forecast to have imbalances of +/- 10%, namely Burbage, Corbar and Temple. Burbage is the only electoral ward in Buxton where councillors represent too many electors when compared with the forecast target of 1765 electorate per councillor. To improve the electoral equality in Burbage it has been necessary to reduce the number of electors in the existing ward and to seek to increase the electorate elsewhere. Other than a minor adjustment to the boundary between Temple and Cote Heath, to correct an irregularity, it is not proposed to amend the boundary of the distinct community and parished area of Cote Heath. The existing wards of Barms, Stone Bench and Buxton Central have acceptable electoral equality and no changes are proposed in those wards. DETAILED PROPOSALS Overall, there are 3 changes proposed in the Buxton area and the areas and properties affected are shown on the attached plans. The changes proposed in Buxton mean that all electoral wards will be within the Commission’s target of +/-10%. The proposals within each ward are described in more detail below. Burbage Ward One change is proposed in the existing Burbage electoral ward which has to reduce its number of electors considerably to achieve the equality target. It is proposed that 275 electors should be transferred to the Corbar ward. These electors are situated in the following areas and the combined area is shown on the plan attached. a development in the Otterhole Farm area all of Wyehead Close into Corbar. (Wyehead Close is currently divided between the Burbage and Corbar Wards) This proposal improves the electoral equality in both the Burbage and Corbar Wards. The area to transfer has well defined boundaries and does not appear to divide communities. Indeed in the case of Wyehead Close, it resolves the issue of the properties in that Close being split between two wards. The effect of transferring 275 electors from Burbage to Corbar means that the Burbage Ward achieves an electoral equality of +2.89% a significant improvement on the existing electoral equality. Temple Ward Two changes are proposed affecting the Temple Ward which needs additional electors in order to improve its electoral variance. It is proposed that 93 electors off Macclesfield Road be transferred from Corbar to Temple. It is further proposed to make a small change to the boundary between Temple and Cote Heath (10 electors) to remove from Cote Heath those properties which are accessed through the Temple Ward. Plans showing the area of the 93 electors from Corbar to Temple and the 10 electors from Cote Heath to Temple are shown attached. The areas to transfer have well defined boundaries and do not appear to divide communities. The effect of transferring these two areas improves the electoral equality in the Temple Ward and it now achieves an equality of -6.28% which is well within the Commission’s target of +/- 10%. Corbar Ward For the reasons outlined above, it is proposed that 275 electors in the Otterhole Farm, St John’s Road, and Wyehead close area should be transferred to the Corbar Ward from the Burbage Ward. Again, for the reasons outlined above, a further small area comprising 93 electors off Macclesfield Road is proposed to be transferred from Corbar to Temple. The areas have well defined boundaries and would appear to have minimal impact on the community. The effect of transferring these two areas improves the electoral equality in the Corbar Ward and it now achieves an equality of -6.17% which again is well within the Commission’s target of +/- 10%. Cote Heath Ward One slight change is proposed to the Cote Heath Ward. The existing electoral variance within the Cote Heath ward is -8% which is already within the Commission’s target of +/-10%. However, to improve the variance further would have a detrimental effect on the existing community and the parished part of that ward. It is, however, proposed to correct an irregularity in the case of a small number of electors (10) who occupy properties accessible only through the Temple Ward. The area is shown on the attached plan. It is proposed to transfer this area to the Temple Ward. The effect of the transfer has a marginal effect on the electoral equality in Cote Heath which moves from - 8% to -8.10%. Buxton Central Ward No changes proposed. Electoral variance 0% Barms No changes proposed. Electoral variance -3% Stone Bench No changes proposed. Electoral variance -1% CHANGES TO ELECTORATE BURBAGE (+18%) 2091 electors - 275 to Corbar 1816 electors New electoral variance = +2.89% TEMPLE (-12%) 1551 electors + 93 from Corbar 1644 electors + 10 from Cote Heath 1654 electors New electoral variance= -6.28% CORBAR (-11%) 3131 +275 from Burbage 3406 - 93 to Temple 3313 ÷ 2 Councillors = 1656 electors New electoral variance = -6.17% COTE HEATH (-8%) 3255 electors - 10 to Temple 3245 electors ÷ 2 Councillors = 1622 electors New electoral variance= -8.10% BUXTON CENTRAL (0%) 3520 electors ÷ 2 Councillors = 1760 - no change. Variance 0% BARMS (-3%) 1714 – no change. Variance -3% STONE BENCH (-1%) 3504 ÷2 Councillors = 1752 – no change.

All wards, with the exception of Hadfield North, Dinting and St. John’s, have electoral variances in excess of the target of 1765 electors per councilor. It has not been possible to reach agreement on proposals to address the electoral imbalances in all of the existing wards within Glossop. The proposals outlined in this document address only the electoral imbalances in Padfield and Whitfield electoral wards. The changes are shown on maps numbered 1 to 4. No changes are proposed to the existing Tintwistle ward which has an acceptable electoral equality well within the Commission’s criteria. - 1 - DETAILED PROPOSALS 1. Padfield Ward The existing Padfield ward has a forecasted electoral variance of +20% and needs a significant reduction in electors in order to improve its electoral equality. Conversely, Hadfield North ward which adjoins the Padfield ward has a forecasted electoral variance of -13% and needs a significant increase in electors to improve its electoral equality. On the shared boundary between the two wards, it is proposed to transfer 286 electors in the area off Station Road, Bankbottom and Waterside from Padfield ward to Hadfield North ward. (Map 1A refers) In addition it is proposed to transfer a further area comprising 68 electors, including Church Street, Gladstone Street and Queen Street, from Padfield Ward. This area adjoins the existing Hadfield South ward but there are alternative proposals being submitted to the Commission by the political groups which will ultimately affect the transfer of this area of electors. In one case, the aforementioned area will remain in Hadfield South and in the other case, the area will form part of a new Hadfield North ward following the redrawing of the boundary between Hadfield North and South. The two changes, namely the transfers of the areas from Padfield Ward, outlined above will not significantly affect the existing communities in those areas. The effect of the changes in the Padfield ward will be to improve the electoral variance from +20% to -0.45%. 2. Whitfield Ward It is proposed to transfer an area off Chunal Lane from Simmondley ward to Whitfield ward. (Map 2 refers) The area comprises 89 electors and will assist in improving the electoral variances in both wards without affecting detrimentally the community in this area. In addition, it is proposed to transfer 25 electors on Cross Cliffe in Old Glossop ward into Whitfield ward. (Map 3 refers) This proposal will rectify an existing anomaly whereby it is not possible for these electors to get to the rest of Old Glossop Ward without first leaving the ward. The final proposal to the Whitfield Ward is a minor change to transfer 3 electors in the Lower Bank Farm area of Old Glossop ward. (Map 4 refers) The transfer will improve community cohesion in this area. The effect of these changes would be to achieve a variance for the Whitfield ward of +3.57% (from -3.06%) - 2 - 3.

  • 31-1-2017 Trans Pennine
    Public Agenda Item No. 8(i) DERBYSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL CABINET 31 January 2017 Report of the Strategic Director – Economy, Transport and Communities TRANS-PENNINE HIGHWAY PROJECTS (HIGHWAYS, TRANSPORT AND INFRASTRUCTURE) (1) Purpose of Report To update Cabinet on a number of projects relating to highway links across the South Pennines and to recommend a County Council policy statement on these. (2) Information and Analysis There are currently a number of inter- related pieces of work being undertaken on existing and potential roads across the South Pennines. Essentially, these are a combination of Highways England’s management and maintenance programmes for the strategic road network and priorities for highways improvement emerging from Transport for the North (TfN), which is the sub-national transport body for the north of England. Cabinet will be aware that, in terms of governance, Derbyshire sits within the equivalent Midlands Connect sub-national transport body, but there are clearly strong relationships between the two entities in relation to economic geography and travel. Worthy of note is the considerable amount of work underway relating to connections between Manchester and Sheffield, which inevitably pass through Derbyshire. The key current areas of work on trans-Pennine roads are: • The Mottram Bypass and A57(T) to A57 Link Road The Road Investment Strategy (RIS) which sets out the work of Highways England for the period up to the year 2020-21 includes major schemes which are expected to begin construction during the RIS period. The Mottram Bypass would carry the Trunk Road around the village of Mottram-in-Longdendale (in Tameside) and provide a link between this and the A57 Principal Road near Woolley Bridge in Derbyshire.

  • Spatial and Temporal Variations of the Chemical Composition in Acid Deposition in the Peak District, Northern England
    Air Pollution VIII, C.A. Brebbia, H. Power & J.W.S Longhurst (Editors) © 2000 WIT Press, www.witpress.com, ISBN 1-85312-822-8 Spatial and temporal variations of the chemical composition in acid deposition in the Peak District, Northern England D. Driejana^, D.W. Rape/, I.L. Gee' & A.F.R. Watson' 'aric, Department of Environmental and Geographical Sciences, Manchester Metropolitan University, United Kingdom * Department of Environmental Engineering, Institute of Technology Bandung, Indonesia Abstract Six monitoring sites operated on a weekly basis have been established to examine the impact of current emission reduction strategies on ionic concentrations and depositions in an acid sensitive sub-area of the Peak District. Present concentration and deposition values were compared to the monitoring results in the same area in 1988. On average, H* and nss-SO/" ion concentrations have dropped by approximately 60%, compared to their levels 10 years ago, and NCV has decreased by 30%. However, as the present precipitation amount is higher than that of 1988, I-T and nss-SO/" wet depositions have not decreased in similar proportion as their concentrations. Nitrate deposition shows very little decrease. H\ nss-SO/" and NOg" concentrations are generally higher in summer when the precipitation amount is lower. Significant spatial variability with an increasing gradient from north to south is observed for calcium and sulphate concentrations. 1. Introduction As a response to economic, cultural and environmental factors in the past decade, acidic precursors have been reduced by the introduction of more stringent industrial emission controls and exhaust emission standards.

On 1 September 1987 we wrote to the Metropolitan Borough of Tameside announcing our intention to undertake a review of Tameside as part of our review of the Metropolitan County of Greater Manchester and its Metropolitan Districts under section 48(1) of the Local Government Act 1972. Copies of the letter were sent to the county and district councils bordering the Metropolitan Borough and to parish councils in the adjoining districts; to the Local Authority Associations; the Members of Parliament with constituency interests; and the headquarters of the main political parties. In addition, copies were sent to those government departments, regional health authorities, port authorities, and statutory undertakers which might have an interest, as well as to the English Tourist Board, the local government press and the local television and radio stations serving the area. 2. The Metropolitan Borough of Tameside was requested, in co- operation as necessary with the other principal authorities, to assist us in publishing the start of the review by inserting a notice for two successive weeks in local newspapers so as to give a wide coverage in the areas concerned.
