First a few important administrative items. See the important message from our Treasurer regarding standing order payments on page 10. Some of us are not paying the correct subscription! Also, and very importantly, we will have a new pick-up point for our bus outings. As the coach company is now based in Selby and not Horsforth, the pick-up point will be Roundhay park car park not Horsforth. See Pauline's trip report on page 8 for the details. I am sure that you all did David's bird quiz in the spring Newsletter. The lucky winner was Roger Brook who received a bird book (surprise, surprise) as his prize. The title of the book has slipped my mind for the moment. Don't forget the Bring and Buy sale at our March Indoor Meeting. It seems a long way ahead, but time flies. You have plenty of time to sort out your unwanted items. The last one raised £48.40 for RSPB funds. And don't forget Big Garden Birdwatch which, this year, is on the 26/27th January. Last winter was a great one for birds in my garden. I was visited by a pair of lesser redpolls. The first to visit in over 30 years. They were around the niger seed feeder on and off for two weeks. There was also a pair of bullfinches in the garden almost daily for most of the winter. They were occasionally visited by another male. This caused a great deal of annoyance for the resident male. However, they all disappeared with the start of spring. A pair of blackcaps also spent a good deal of the winter foraging in the crab apple tree outside my kitchen doors. Most spectacular of all was the lone fieldfare which seemed to live on my crab apples for most of the winter. Fieldfares are a bit larger than blackbirds and so it came as a shock to the pair of blackbirds which usually have the pick of the winter crab apples to be chased away by the fieldfare. However, the blackbirds nested as usual in the garden after the fieldfare had flown north for the summer. Anyway, back to Big Garden Birdwatch. Last January I spent my usual hour by the kitchen window with my note book and as you can guess, not a redpoll, blackcap, fieldfare, redwing or bullfinch showed its face. I did see a robin though! And finally, the spring Newsletter that you should receive in January will be shorter than in the past and there will be no photo competition this year (see page 11). As you already have details of the trips and indoor meeting twice (once in the autumn Newsletter and also on the calendar) the committee has decided not to repeat this again. Happy Birding, Richard Rodway Newsletter Editor RSPB Leeds Local Group Newsletter Autumn 2012 3 News and Events Summary 2012 Membership Update September This year the RSPB Leeds Local Group has a total membership of 452 households, just slightly down from 460 last year.

    Page | 1 LIBERAL/LIBERAL DEMOCRAT CANDIDATES IN THE YORKSHIRE AND HUMBERSIDE REGION 1945-2015 Constituencies in the county of Yorkshire (excluding Cleveland and Teesside) INCLUDING SDP CANDIDATES in the GENERAL ELECTIONS of 1983 and 1987 PREFACE A number of difficulties have been encountered in compiling this Index which have not been resolved in an entirely satisfactory manner. Local government boundary changes in the early 1970s led to the creation of the Cleveland and HuMberside Counties. Cleveland and adjacent constituencies have been included in the Index for the North East Region. HuMberside constituencies coMMencing with the General Election of February 1974 are included in the Yorkshire Region. The region has been home to an impressive gallery of party personalities, several of whoM receive extended entries. The spirited independence with respect to LPO HQ in London which the Yorkshire Regional Party has often shown, and the relatively strong direction it has exerted over its constituency associations, would account for the formidable challenge maintained in the Region at successive general elections, even in the direst years of party fortunes. Yorkshire appears to have been rather less willing in 1950 to heed to the dictates of the Martell Plan (see article below) than other regions. Even so, until the 1970s there were several Labour-held Mining and industrial constituencies where the Party declined to fight. InforMation on Many candidates reMains sparse. SDP candidates particularly, over 1983-87, seem to have been an anonyMous battalion indeed, few if any of them leaving a Mark on any field of huMan endeavour. 1 Page | 2 THE MARTELL PLAN The Martell Plan, mentioned in passing throughout the regional directories was the electoral strategy adopted by the Liberal Party for the General Election of 1950.

  • Horsforth Closure GENH2056IAFEB21H
    Understanding your branch closure Santander, 42 Town Street, Horsforth LS18 4AP This branch will be closing at 4pm on 5 August 2021. We’d like to explain why, and help you understand how you can continue banking with us. Background to our approach Our customers are continuing to change the way they manage their money. As well as using our branches, many more of our customers find it convenient to do their day-to-day banking using Online, Mobile or Telephone Banking. As a result, customers are visiting our branches much less. This change has been happening over a number of years now and has accelerated in recent times. Due to these changes, we have carefully and thoroughly reviewed the way we develop our services for customers and considered many factors, including where each of our branches are located and how they are used. We know our branch network remains very important to our customers. Whilst we have made the difficult decision to close some branches, we have only done so where we know there are other facilities our customers can use and where we have another Santander branch within a few miles. As part of this review, we have assessed each branch individually to consider the potential impact for our customers, colleagues and the alternative options available to bank locally. We hope this leaflet helps to provide more information about our decision to close Horsforth branch, the alternative ways to continue to bank with Santander and other local banking services available. Adam Bishop, Head of Branch Interactions Branch assessment Before reaching the decision to close Horsforth branch, a full review of the branch was undertaken, including: ¡ The way our Horsforth branch customers are ¡ The availability of alternative ways to bank with choosing to bank with us.

The lists of Councillors are ordered first by the date of their first election, then by their length of service, and then alphabetically. There are Leeds City Council elections in three years out of four, with no elections in 1981, 1985, 1989 and so on, except that because of the Covid pandemic, there were no elections in2020, but elections in 2021. The elections in 1980, 2004 and 2018 were contested on new ward boundaries, with three seats up for election in each ward. In other years only one seat was up for election in each ward, except in a few cases when there was also a casual vacancy to be filled. Sometimes when the boundaries of a ward were changed, its name also changed. The years from 1980 in which a ward of a given name existed are given after the name. Current wards are listed first, followed by former wards. The lists of Councillors by ward are followed by an alphabetical index of all the Councillors elected in the given period.

  • Our Ref: 0483/19 Could You Please Provide Me with the Total Number of Islamophobic Hate Crimes for Each Year Over the Last Five
    Our ref: 0483/19 Could you please provide me with the total number of Islamophobic hate crimes for each year over the last five years? ( from 1st January 2013 to 31st December 2018). If it is possible, i would like the data to be broken down by the day they were reported. Please see the attached table which provides Islamophobic Hate Crimes recorded, broken down by date recorded, and Ward area. Please note recent increases in hate crime are predominantly associated with administrative change in relation to Force crime recording processes which have resulted in an increased likelihood of a crime being recorded following an incident report to the Police. Crime increases have been reported across a number of crime types this year and the increases in hate crime follow a similar pattern to related offences such as public order and low level violence without injury. The force has made improvements to how information about hate incidents is recorded. A number of sub-categories for the recording of faith and disability hate crimes are being introduced to get a better understanding of the impact of national and international events on local communities and improve and target services for victims. Recent publicity may also have encouraged victims of hate incidents and crimes to come forward and report their experience to the police. West Yorkshire Police support the annual Hate Crime Awareness Week in partnership with the Police and Crime Commissioner in order to highlight the issue of hate crime. The campaign aims to give people a better understanding of what hate crime is and encourage victims of hate incidents to report them.
