  • Briefing Note For: Grantham Local Area Assembly
    BRIEFING NOTE FOR: GRANTHAM LOCAL AREA ASSEMBLY Subject: “A Town Council for Grantham” Agenda Item: 8 Date of Meeting: 7 th June 2006 Introduction This briefing paper includes a summary of the status of Parish/Town Councils, the implications of the Local Government Act 1972, background on Grantham’s Charter Trustees, the history of attempts to date to instate a Parish/Town Council in Grantham, information on the Local Government and Rating Act 1997, the Grantham referendum of 2002 and the powers of a Parish/Town Council. All Parish/Town Councils are funded by precepts that are included in the Council Tax. Background Parish/Town Councils The Parish Council is a body of civil government elected by the residents of the area. It has a wide range of statutory powers, which it is free to exercise or not as it wishes. In practice Parish Councils exercise sole responsibility for some matters and share responsibility for others with the District and County Councils. Were Grantham to be awarded Parish Council status, as a Parish Council in an urban area it would be entitled to call itself a Town Council. Changes to Local Government Grantham was a chartered borough for more than 500 years before 31 st March 1974, when the structure of Local Government was reorganised and District Councils were established under the Local Government Act 1972. Criteria for successor parish councils were established for areas with a population of less than 20,000 residents; Grantham had approximately 30,000 residents and was not eligible. Instead of successor Parish/Town Council, Charter Trustees for Grantham were established.

This thesis attempts to redress the balance by examining a number of volunteer-run museums in Dorset and the characteristics and motivations of the volunteers involved in their development. This element of the project included a survey of museum volunteers in the county and studies of a selected group of museums through interviews and through archival research in museum records. The thesis also presents a historical analysis, through a number of case histories, of the development of volunteer-run museums in English market towns and villages from 1884, demonstrating clearly how the development of these small museums reflects larger changes in the rural community from the paternalism of the late nineteenth century, through growing independence and democracy after 1918, to the counter­ urbanisation of the second half of the twentieth century. 1 Changing perceptions of rural identity are also apparent in the history of these museums.

  • Community Governance Review for Duddington with Fineshade – Draft Recommendations for Consultation
    Agenda Item 11 Council 23 July 2018 Community Governance Review for Duddington with Fineshade – Draft Recommendations for Consultation Purpose of report: To propose draft recommendations for parish arrangements in the parish of Duddington with Fineshade following the conclusion of the first stage of public consultation Attachment Appendix A – Map of proposed change to parish area from petitioners Appendix B – Original Terms of Reference for the Review. 1.0 Background 1.1 The receipt of a valid petition from a number of registered electors within the Fineshade area of the District requesting the separation of their area and formation of a new Parish Meeting was considered at the full council meeting of 29 January 2018. At its subsequent meeting of 26 February 2018 the Council approved a set of terms of reference and the formation of a review panel to consider the consultation responses, draft and final report prior to consideration by Council. 1.2 The request petition was signed by 86% of the electors in the proposed new parish area located within Fineshade. The proposed new Parish Meeting would comprise 7 properties with a current electorate of 14, although three properties are currently undergoing development/renovation and the electorate is expected to increase slightly as a result. (The total electorate for Duddington with Fineshade Parish council is currently 162.) 1.3 The review is a four stage process and Stage 1 (a period of open consultation) ended on 29 April 2018. Since then, officers have considered the proposals received. This paper sets out draft recommendations on proposed changes to parish arrangements together with a revised timetable for the latter stages of the review for consideration and approval by Council (see 1.5 and 1.6 below.) This revised timetable is necessary as the process of local government reorganisation and consultation, which has commenced within Northamptonshire since the terms of reference were approved, has impacted on the Council’s member and officer resources and ability to resource and run a separate Review Panel.

We, the Local Government Boundary Commission for England, present our Report No 3 containing our proposals for the constitution of parishes the boundaries of which are determined by reference to those of existing urban dis- tricts and boroughs and also in certain cases by reference to the boundaries of the new districts. The report also includes our proposals for naming these parishes. 2. The statutory provisions relating to the constitution of these parishes are contained in section 1(8) and Part V of Schedule 1 to the Local Government Act 1972. Under paragraph 1 of that Schedule we were required to "consult the councils of existing counties, boroughs and urban districts and the committees established under section 264 (1) (b) with a view to making proposals to the Secretary of State for the constitution of parishes each of which has a boundary coterminous with that of— (a) an existing urban district or borough, the area of which is not divided by or under Section I above between two or more districts, or (b) so much of an existing urban district or borough, the area of which is so divided, as is wholly comprised in a single district, and for naming those parishes." We now present our proposals for the constitution of such parishes and for naming them.
