One of London’s most popular destinations is Her Majesty’s Royal Palace and Fortress, the Tower of London, which has served as an armory, a treasury, a menagerie, and a prison. In 1988, the Tower of London was added to the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites in recognition of its global importance and to help conserve and protect the site. Next, the Great Bell of the clock at the Palace of Westminster, nicknamed Big Ben, will be viewed from the Lambeth Bridge. Afterwards, the group will head to the British Museum. This museum is one of the world’s most well known museums and a landmark in London dedicated to human history and culture.

Featuring the latest innovations, the Crown Princess is one of the largest Princess cruise ships, with room for 3,080 guests. Dine in the manner that suits your schedule instead of cramping your style. Choose from Traditional Dining, Anytime Dining, Specialty Dining or Casual Dining. Nights are always a buzz with activity, and it's up to you to choose your pleasure - from live theater and the big screen, to plush lounges, swanky casinos and dance clubs. Fill your days with activities and do nothing the next. Take a personal enrichment class, do yoga, go duty-free shopping, or just relax with a dip in one of the pools or spas. Your experience on the Crown Princess will be unforgettable. Post-Cruise Tour Day 18**July 01 London (L) Today, we will arrive at London. After our disembarkation, we will meet an Air & Sea representative and transfer to Windsor.

Flåm also boasts the extraordinary Flåm Railway. One of the most dramatic train rides in Europe, the Flåm Railway takes an hour to cover 10 miles, hugging cliffs, plunging through tunnels and pausing for its passengers to admire the views as it ascends the Flåm Valley to Myrdal, a desolate mountain plateau. Completed in 2000, the 16-mile-long Aurland-Lærdal Tunnel is the world's longest traffic tunnel. It burrows beneath the mountains connecting Flåm and Lærdal on the Sognefjord, Norway's longest fjord and one of its arms, the Nærøyfjord, which is on UNESCO's World Heritage List. Depart from the ship for a scenic one-hour train ride along the Flåm River, slowly traveling 12 ½ miles from Flåm Station up to 2,845 feet above sea level to Myrdal Station. The train passes through 20 tunnels, ascends steep hills that includes 21 narrow hairpin bends. We will see Kjosfossen Waterfalls and mountain peaks along the way and enjoy the exquisite vistas of Flåm Valley. Upon arrival at Vatnahalsen Station, we will have refreshments at the charming Vatnahalsen Hotel before returning back to Flåm on the same route. Shore Excursion 2**June 24 Honningsvag (North Cape), Norway -- North Cape Hall & Cliffs Enjoy a photo stop here that offers stunning views of the Arctic Ocean, North Cape and Knivskjelodden. North Cape on Magerøya Island is the northernmost point in Europe, and the true land of the Midnight Sun. From mid-May to July, the full disc of the sun never dips below the horizon. This leisurely, half-day non-guided visit to North Cape departs on a motorcoach from Honningsvag. Enjoy the hour-long scenic drive along the shore, up cliffs through the stunning Norwegian landscape of tundra, dwarf trees, and small bogs to North Cape, the northernmost tip of Europe at latitude 71°10´21”, arriving at North Cape Hall, a tourist center located atop the North Cape cliffs. View the impressive 180° panoramic film about Finnmark (extreme northeastern part of Norway) and the North Cape seasons featured at the center's theater, peruse the gift shop for souvenirs or enjoy a snack at the center's restaurant offering spectacular views the Arctic Ocean.

  • 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.

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.
