LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOUNDARY COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND CHAIRMAN Sir Edmund Compton GCB KBE DEPUTY CHAIRMAN Mr J M Rankin QC MEMBERS Lady Bowden Mr J T Brockbank Professor Michael Chisholm Mr R R Thornton CB DL Sir Andrew Wheatley CBE PW To the Rt Hon Merlyn Rees, MP Secretary of State for the Home Department PROPOSALS FOR FUTURE ELECTORAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE STRATFOHD-ON-AVON DISTRICT OF THE COUNTY OF WARWICKSHIRE 1. We, the Local Government Boundary Commission for England, having carried out our initial review of the electoral arrangements for the district of Stratford-on-Avon in accordance with the requirements of section 63 of, and Schedule 9 to, the Local Government Act 1972, present our proposals for the future electoral arrangements of that district* 2* In accordance with the procedure laid down in section 60(1) and (2) of the 1972 Act, notice was given on 31 December 197^ that we were to undertake this review. This was incorporated in a consultation letter addressed to Stratford- on-Avon District Council, copies of which were circulated to Warwickshire County Council, Parish Councils and Parish Meetings in the district, the Member of Parliament for the constituency.concerned and the headquarters of the main political parties. Copies were also sent to the editors of the local newspapers circulating in the area and to the local government press* Notices inserted in the local press announced the start of the review and invited comments from members of the public and from any interested bodies. 3- Stratford-on-Avon District Council were invited to prepare a draft scheme of representation for our consideration. In doing so, they were asked to observe the rules laid down in Schedule 11 to the Local Government Act 1972 and the guidelines which we set out in our Report No 6 about the proposed size of the council and the proposed number of councillors for each ward. They were also asked to take into account any views expressed to them following their consul- tation with local interests. We therefore asked that they should publish details of their provisional proposals about a month before they submitted their draft scheme to us, thus allowing an opportunity for local comment. ^. In accordance with section 7(^)(b) of the Local Government Act 1972 the Council have exercised an option for a system of elections by thirds, 5. On 10 June 1975 the District Council presented their draft scheme of repre- sentation. The Council proposed to divide the area of the district into 3^ wards each returning 1, 2 or 3 councillors to form a council of 55'members. ' - . ' 6. The Council's submission included copies of the correspondence received by then during their local consultations and we noted that in a number of instances the District Council had not been able to adopt the suggestions which had been made to them and incorporate them in their draft scheme. We reviewed all these ' ' ' suggestions during our examination of the Council's proposals together with a number of other comments which had been sent direct to us by local interests, 7. Among the comments were a number of letters dealing with the District Council's proposed Burton Dassett, Harbury, Wellesbourne and Kineton wards. From these comments we noted that the district Council's proposals had been received in the locality with considerable misgivings'although there was by no means unanimity as to what should be done instead. We concluded that it would be appropriate to transfer the parish of Lighthorne to the proposed Harbury ward and to regroup the rest of the parishes in the proposed Burton Dassett ward to establish two single member wards corresponding to the present Wards 23 (Burton Dassett, Chudshunt, Uaydon and Kadway) and 36 (Combrook, Compton Verney, Horeton ticarell and Newbold Pacey and Ashorne). We decided to name these wards "Burton Dassett" and "Moreton Korrell" respectively. • . ti. We could find no strong grounds to modify the District Council's proposals in response to the other representations w.dch had been made and we resolved to reject them. 9* We then examined the scheme to see whether there were any other modifica- tions which could be made to improve the standard of equality of representation in some parts of the district. A number of possibilities were examined but having regard to the pattern of the parishes and/or parish wards in the localities concerned we made no change. 10. Subject to the changes referred to in paragraph 7 above we decided that the District Council's draft scheme provided a reasonable basis for the future electoral arrangements for the district in compliance with the rules in Schedule 11 to the 1972 Act and our guidelines and we formulated our draft proposals accordingly. 11. On 31 December 1975 we issued our draft proposals and these were sent to all who had received our consultation letter or had commented on the Council's draft scheme. The Council were asked to make 'these draft proposals and the accompanying map, which defined the proposed ward boundaries, available for inspection at their main offices. Representations on our draft proposals were invited from those to whom they were circulated and, by public notices, from "Other members of the public and interested bodies. We asked that any comments should reach us by 2? ^ebruary 1976. 12. The Stratford-on-Avon District Council informed us that they had no comments on the draft proposals but requested that we should consider carefully any comments made by parish councils. The Council also forwarded a letter which they had received from the Bidford-on-Avon Parish Council accepting our proposals insofar as they related to that parish. 13. The Arrow Parish Council*supported by the Alcester Parish Council, objected to the proposals to include the parishes of Arrow and Weethley in the proposed Salford Priors ward and requested that they should be included in the proposed Alcester ward. From a local residents association we received comments reiterating . an earlier objection which they had made to the inclusion in the proposed Alcester ward of the Oversley Green ward of the parish of Alcester. From a resident of the parish of Exhall we received a letter suggesting the inclusion of that parish in the proposed Bardon ward instead of the proposed Bidford ward as we had proposed. Finally there was a letter from the Alderminster parish council suggesting that the proposed E-ttington ward should be renamed "Goldicote". 1*f. In view of these comments, we decided that we needed further information .to enable us to reach a conclusion. Therefore in accordance with section 65(2) of the 1972 Act and at our request, Mr L P Wallen was appointed aa an Assistant Commissioner to hold a local meeting and to report to us. 15« The Assistant Commissioner held a meeting at Alcester on 26 Hay 197&. A copy of his report to us of the meeting is attached at Schedule 1 to this report. 16. After inspecting the area concerned, the Assistant Commissioner accepted.the case presented on behalf of the Oversley Green ward of the parish of Alcester. and recommended that it should form part of the Kinwarton ward returning one councillor. He recommended also that the Alcester ward, returning 3 councillors, should consist of the Alcester and Oversley wards of the parish of Alcester, together with the parishes of Arrow and Weethley. Finally he recommended that the parish of Exhall should be included in the Bardon ward. 17* *e considered our draft proposals again in the light of the comments which had been received and of the Assistant Commissioner's Report. We concluded that the alterations recommended by the Assistant Commissioner should be adopted* Subject to these modifications, we decided that our draft proposals should be confirmed as our final proposals. 18. Details of these final proposals are set out in Schedules 2 and 3 to this report. Schedule 2. gives the names of the wards and the number of councillors to be returned by each. Schedule 3 defines the areas of the new wards. The boundaries of the new wards are illustrated on the attached map. Schedule 4 shows our proposals for the order of retirement of councillors* 19. In accordance with Section 60(5)(b) of the Local Government.Act 1972, a copy of this report and a copy of the map are being sent to Stratford-on-Avon District Council and will be available for public inspection at the.Council's main offices, Copies of this report are also being sent to those who received the consultation letter and to those who made comments.

  • Illustrations from the Wellcome Institute Library
    Medical History, 1996, 40: 365-372 Illustrations from the Wellcome Institute Library Thomas Mister of Shipston (1711-80) JOAN LANE* All too little is known about the actual running of eighteenth-century medical practices and it was formerly presumed that provincial surgeon-apothecaries, barely literate, kept no financial or patient records, relying merely on memory. However, recent research has shown that such men kept accounts, sent bills and wrote clients receipts for treatment, although after nearly three centuries surgeon-apothecaries' cash ledgers and patient notes may have simply been destroyed or lie unrecognized in private archives. Far more examples of patient case-notes exist than practice cash records. Undoubtedly, eminent practitioners treating the great, titled or affluent were more likely to write up their findings, medications and results, for example, John Hall (1575-1635), William Brownrigg (1711-1800) or Erasmus Darwin (1731-1802). More representative, however, were the general practice memoirs of such men as Richard Kay of Lancashire or Christian Esberger of Lincolnshire,I with no famous patients and only a modest way of life. If these memoirs are uncommon in archive terms, then financial records of Georgian general practice are even rarer. A partial estimate of a practitioner's income can, of course, be constructed when his fees are traced in patients' own records, particularly estate ledgers, or if he had been paid for institutional tasks (parish poor law work, legal cases of all kinds). Many categories of patients-chronic, hypochondriac, or fatally ill-who were correspondents or diarists wrote of medical diagnosis, treatment and especially fees, but these are only fragments of information.2 More detailed local research can show, however, that practitioners did keep cash records, itemizing patients' names, addresses, medications and charges, nearly always indicating how slowly an account was settled, never paid or, unrecoverable, written off as a bad debt ("desperate").

  • Memories of Bidford, 1950 Onwards. by Bob Marshall
    Memories Of Bidford, 1950 onwards. By Bob Marshall My Earliest days I was born on Thursday, May 25, 1950 May at 7 Steppes Piece, Bidford on Avon. As I was told later, it rained all of that day. My parents were Walter and Doris Marshall. My father was a ganger on the railway and he worked between Broome Junction and Harvington, and Broome Junction and Alcester. My mother was a housewife and I had two older sisters, Doreen and Muriel. My grandparents, William and Agnes Marshall lived at house called Copernic in Victoria Road. My grandfather had been a regular soldier in the Royal Warwickshire Regiment. He had fought in the Boer war and the first world war, reaching the rank of company Sergeant Major. After the war he became publican of the Kings Arms in Beoley Road Redditch and then in 1932 at the Golden Cross, at Ardens Grafton. My grandmother had worked Masons Arms in the high Street, Bidford. My mother's parents were Albert and Florence Reeves and they lived in Victorian cottages at the bottom of Alcester Road now called Waterloo Road. That side of the family originated from county Cork in Ireland. Steppes Piece where I was born was built in the 1930s and consists of 30 houses. Many are now privately owned but in those days they all belonged to the rural district Council. During my early years, the houses were occupied by the following families; 1. Bert and Renne Horne 2. Sid and Mrs Reade. 3. Mr and Mrs Nicholls. 4. Mr and Mrs Wright 5.
