Yes, the Government recognise of the 10 most deprived councils in the country have the hard decisions that councils have had to make, but seen cuts almost three times the national average since we are now supporting councils to do the right thing for 2010.

  • Turnham, Margaret H. (2012) Roman Catholic Revivalism
    Roman Catholic Revivalism: A study of the area that became the Diocese of Middlesbrough 1779-1992 Margaret H. Turnham, B.Ed., M.Th. Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. July 2012 i Abstract This thesis seeks to provide a grassroots study of the diocese of Middlesbrough (1779-1992), in order to contribute to the history of the English Catholic community since it emerged from the Penal Times. Secondly, it is an examination of the manifestation of revivalism and renewal in Catholic devotional practice. The geographical extent of the study covers an area of Yorkshire with a strong recusant history, and that period has been well-served in Catholic historiography. However, writing on the period following the easing of the Penal Laws on Catholics and into the nineteenth and twentieth centuries is remarkable for the paucity of references to the diocese and the area that it covers. Therefore this study sheds light upon a particular Catholic community that has been largely invisible to historians. Although the Catholic community itself might appear to be invisible, the devotional practice within it offers many insights, such as the extent to which the social culture influenced the practice of faith. Therefore it teases out and examines the changing nature of devotional practice, and compares it to aspects of Evangelical revivalism that provided the surrounding religious culture. It also examines the influences that came to bear upon the community itself, assessing their importance in the revival and renewal of faith of the people within it. By examining the history of Catholic devotional practice in this area of Yorkshire, it comes to the conclusion that revivalism and renewal are integral elements in Catholic devotion and as a result Catholics and Evangelicals have more in common with each other than their adherents have been ready to acknowledge.

    Presidents Letter. It is good to have warm Spring weather with us once again. Last week I was in Stirling for the AGM of our sister organization, the Court of Deans of Scotland. I conveyed our Greetings along with an invitation to join our AGM in September. The dedication service on the Sunday was in the Church of the Holy Rule which has a stained glass window commemorating the first four Royal Burghs in Scotland. It was Stirling’s 900th. anniversary of becoming a Royal Burgh. Our Spring Court Meeting was held in Durham. At this we agreed a formal way of appointing Wardens. Wardens are a vital part of our organisation being the main link to individual Guilds as well as contacting non member Guilds. We welcomed Nic Christison as the new Warden for the South West, the first Warden appointed under the new scheme. Our Membership Secretary, Gordon Varndell, has tendered his resignation from the Executive due to ill health. Gordon has not been well for some time. He has been a member of your Executive for many years and we wish him good fortune and better health in the future. We are now urgently in need of a volunteer for this position. We are looking forward to September and our AGM in Gloucester. We are sure of a warm reception from Lee and his Guild. Gloucester’s Docks have been transformed and are now full of interest. I am sure it will be a memorable weekend. J.Evans, President. Minutes of the Court Meeting held on Saturday 16 the March 201 9 Durham City Town Hall, Market Place, Durham.

  • City Car Club, Scotland Manager
    Local Authority case study – Edinburgh The case study draws on interviews with Keith Stark (City Car Club, Scotland Manager), Andrew McBride (Development Control, City of Edinburgh Council), Gavin Brown (CEC Parking Manager) as well as material drawn from planning documents. In addition we have used archive material assembled by Chas Ball 1, who researched this case study. 1 Policy Evolution The Edinburgh City Car Club was first considered in the mid 1990s, stimulated by experience of other cities in Europe particularly Bremen, Germany. Following research by LEAP, an environmental NGO, a plan was adopted in 1997. Early work included securing acceptance of permit based on-street parking, which involved a new regulatory framework. With Scottish Office approval in early 1998, Edinburgh became the first UK city to establish a pay as you drive self-service car club. Through tenders, the selected operator was Budget Car & Van Rental. It launched in autumn 1999 with an initial fleet of over 20 cars using 15 on street locations. After over 2 years operation, with many technical glitches, the operator gave notice and the scheme was temporarily stopped in March 2001 as the operator withdrew. In autumn 2001 the service resumed, operated by Smart Moves Ltd with 14 cars, using a new Swedish provider of in-car telematics, Drive-IT and over half the members signed up as members with the new operator, Smart Moves. To secure the operator role Smart Moves made a successful tender to CEC beating a rival bid from Avis Rent-a-Car. Over the ensuing years this evolved into City Car Club, which had by then established larger operations in Bristol as well as in London and Brighton.

This ‘chamber pot in the window’ myth has become almost synonymous with the early modern period itself in the current, popular, historical imagination, especially in relation to urban settlements. But the majority of urban inhabitants and their local governors alike valued clean outdoor public spaces. They had a vested interest in keeping the areas in which they lived and worked clean and they invested substantial time and energy into upholding their collective standards of acceptable cleanliness in the neighbourhoods, wards, towns and cities of which they were so proud.
