The Boundary Committee for England is a committee of The Electoral Commission, an independent body set up by Parliament under the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000. The functions of the Local Government Commission for England were transferred to The Electoral Commission and its Boundary Committee on 1 April 2002 by the Local Government Commission for England (Transfer of Functions) Order 2001 (SI 2001 No. 3692). The Order also transferred to The Electoral Commission the functions of the Secretary of State in relation to taking decisions on recommendations for changes to local authority electoral arrangements and implementing them. Members of the Committee are: Pamela Gordon (Chair) Professor Michael Clarke CBE Robin Gray Joan Jones CBE Ann M Kelly Professor Colin Mellors Archie Gall (Director) We are required by law to review the electoral arrangements of every principal local authority in England. Our aim is to ensure that the number of electors represented by each councillor in an area is as nearly as possible the same, taking into account local circumstances. We can recommend changes to ward boundaries, the number of councillors and ward names. We can also recommend changes to the electoral arrangements of parish and town councils. This report sets out our final recommendations on the electoral arrangements for the city of Sheffield. 5 6 Summary We began a review of Sheffield’s electoral arrangements on 8 May 2002. We published our draft recommendations for electoral arrangements on 11 February 2003, after which we undertook an eight-week period of consultation. We now submit final recommendations to The Electoral Commission. • This report summarises the representations that we received during consultation on our draft recommendations, and contains our final recommendations to The Electoral Commission. We found that the existing arrangements provide unequal representation of electors in Sheffield: • in 20 of the 29 wards the number of electors represented by each councillor varies by more than 10% from the average for the city and eight wards vary by more than 20%; • by 2006 this situation is expected to worsen, with the number of electors per councillor forecast to vary by more than 10% from the average in 19 wards and by more than 20% in nine wards. Our main final recommendations for future electoral arrangements (see Tables 1 and 2 and paragraphs 128-129) are that: • Sheffield City Council should have 84 councillors, three less than at present; • there should be 28 wards, instead of 29 as at present; • the boundaries of all of the existing wards should be modified, resulting in a net reduction of one. The purpose of these proposals is to ensure that, in future, each city councillor represents approximately the same number of electors, bearing in mind local circumstances. • In 27 of the proposed 28 wards the number of electors per councillor would vary by no more than 10% from the city average. • This improved level of electoral equality is forecast to continue, with the number of electors per councillor in no ward expected to vary by more than 8% from the average for the city in 2006. Recommendations are also made for changes to parish council electoral arrangements which provide for: • Revised warding arrangements and the redistribution of councillors for the parishes of Bradfield, Ecclesfield and Stocksbridge. 7 All further correspondence on these final recommendations and the matters discussed in this report should be addressed to The Electoral Commission, which will not make an Order implementing them before 9 September 2003. The information in the representations will be available for public access once the Order has been made.

  • Sheffield Street Tree Strategy Development Group
    Sheffield Street Tree Strategy Development Group i-Tree Eco Stratified Inventory Report November 2019 The Authors James Watson - Treeconomics Reviewed By: Danielle Hill - Treeconomics This assessment was carried out by Treeconomics 1 Executive Summary In this report, the street trees in Sheffield have been assessed based on the benefits that they provide to society. These trees, which form part of Sheffield’s natural capital, are generally recognised and appreciated for their amenity, presence and stature in the cityscape and surroundings. However, society is often unaware of the many other benefits (or ecosystem services) that trees provide to those living in our towns and cities. The trees in and around our urban areas (together with woodlands, shrubs, hedges, open grass, green space and wetland) are collectively known as the ‘urban forest’. This urban forest improves our air, protects watercourses, saves energy, and improves economic sustainability1. There are also many health and well-being benefits associated with being in close proximity to trees and there is a growing research base to support this2. Sheffield’s street trees are a crucial part of the city’s urban forest, rural areas and woodlands. Many of the benefits that Sheffield’s urban forest provides are offered through its street trees. Economic valuation of the benefits provided by our natural capital3 (including the urban forest) can help to mitigate for development impacts, inform land use changes and reduce any potential impact through planned intervention to avoid a net loss of natural capital. Such information can be used to help make better management decisions. Yet, as the benefits provided by such natural capital are often poorly understood, they are often undervalued in the decision making process.

  • On the Disturbances in the District of the Valley of The
    Downloaded from http://pygs.lyellcollection.org/ by guest on September 28, 2021 mittee, for their kind assistance in making the arrangements for the meeting. The following communications were then made to the Society :— ON THE DISTURBANCES IN THE DISTRICT OP THE VALLEY OF THE DON. BY REV. WM. THORP, OF WOMERSLEY. Upon the last visit of the Society to Sheffield, I had the pleasure of describing some of the geological features of the neighbouring district, and particularly those of the country between Rotherham and Sheffield. I have again taken the liberty of giving a brief mining notice of the disturbances of the same district, because they are not only of such enor­ mous magnitude as to be of great interest to the geologist, but a knowledge of them is necessary to the successful min­ ing operations of that neighbourhood. Upon the former occasion, it was contended by one party that not only were the strata on the North side of the Don elevated above those of the South side, to the amount of 600 yards in vertical height; but that also there had been a horizontal lateral movement of the beds of the North side, in an eastward direction, to the length of five or six miles.^ * The proofs then adduced in support of a lateral movement were—1. That the various beds come from the North, up to the edge of the valley of the Don, but do not preserve their Northerly and Southerly direction across the valley, but are found several miles to the West; e. g.^the Silkstone coal ranges to Dropping Well, near Kimberworth, and is not found at the same depth until we arrive six miles West, at SheflSeld town.

  • Stephen Mallinder. “Sheffield Is Not Sexy.”
    Nebula 4.3 , September 2007 Sheffield is not Sexy. By Stephen Mallinder Abstract The city of Sheffield’s attempts, during the early 1980s, at promoting economic regeneration through popular cultural production were unconsciously suggestive of later creative industries strategies. Post-work economic policies, which became significant to the Blair government a decade later, were evident in urban centres such as Manchester, Liverpool and Sheffield in nascent form. The specificity of Sheffield’s socio-economic configuration gave context, not merely to its industrial narrative but also to the city’s auditory culture, which was to frame well intended though subsequently flawed strategies for regeneration. Unlike other cities, most notably Manchester, the city’s mono-cultural characteristics failed to provide an effective entrepreneurial infrastructure on which to build immediate economic response to economic rationalisation and regional decline. Top-down municipal policies, which embraced the city’s popular music, gave centrality to cultural production in response to a deflated regional economy unable, at the time, to sustain rejuvenation through cultural consumption. Such embryonic strategies would subsequently become formalised though creative industry policies developing relationships with local economies as opposed to urban engineering through regional government. Building upon the readings of industrial cities such as Liverpool, New Orleans and Chicago, the post-work leisure economy has increasingly addressed the significance of the auditory effect in cities such as Manchester and Sheffield. However the failure of the talismanic National Centre for Popular Music signifies the inherent problems of institutionalizing popular cultural forms and resistance of sound to be anchored and contained. The city’s sonic narrative became contained in its distinctive patterns of cultural production and consumption that ultimately resisted attempts at compartmentalization and representation through what became colloquially known as ‘the museum of popular music’.
