Dacorum Borough Council Election Results 1973-2011 Colin Rallings and Michael Thrasher The Elections Centre Plymouth University The information contained in this report has been obtained from a number of sources. Election results from the immediate post-reorganisation period were painstakingly collected by Alan Willis largely, although not exclusively, from local newspaper reports. From the mid- 1980s onwards the results have been obtained from each local authority by the Elections Centre. The data are stored in a database designed by Lawrence Ware and maintained by Brian Cheal and others at Plymouth University. Despite our best efforts some information remains elusive whilst we accept that some errors are likely to remain. Notice of any mistakes should be sent to [email protected]. The results sequence can be kept up to date by purchasing copies of the annual Local Elections Handbook, details of which can be obtained by contacting the email address above. Front cover: the graph shows the distribution of percentage vote shares over the period covered by the results. The lines reflect the colours traditionally used by the three main parties. The grey line is the share obtained by Independent candidates while the purple line groups together the vote shares for all other parties. Rear cover: the top graph shows the percentage share of council seats for the main parties as well as those won by Independents and other parties. The lines take account of any by- election changes (but not those resulting from elected councillors switching party allegiance) as well as the transfers of seats during the main round of local election. The lower graph shows for each main round of local elections the overall percentage turnout (solid line), the percentage of women candidates standing at (dotted line) and the percentage of women among those elected (hashed line).

Archaeological Zone 1 (AZ1) covered the western side of the development area within Bedfordshire. Two pylon footings (PBA14 and PBA15) along with an access road and a cable trench were excavated in this zone. No archaeological features were identified within this area. However, modern root disturbance, associated with the present hedgeline, was identified adjacent to Newlands Road. Archaeological Zone 2 (AZ2) covered the eastern side of the development area within Bedfordshire. Two pylons (PBA12A and PBA13) were erected in this zone and a cable trench was excavated. Three ditches [3707], [4002] and [4302] that were likely to be part of a field system were identified. Archaeological Zone 3 (AZ3) covered the southern part of the development area and was split into two areas: the northern area (AZ3N) covering the land within Bedfordshire and the southern area (AZ3S) covering the land within Hertfordshire. In AZ3N, footings for three pylons (PBB93, PBB94 and PBB95) an access road and a cable trench were excavated. The only archaeological feature to be identified was a ditch [4502] that may have been the continuation of one of the ditches located in AZ2.

  • Dacorum Borough Council

    Dacorum Borough Council

    case study Rocket® Dacorum Borough Council Finding and Capturing the Golden Thread Dacorum is an area of 212 square kilometers situated in West Hertfordshire that includes the towns of Hemel Hempstead, Berkhamsted, Tring, the villages of Bovingdon, Kings Langley, and Markyate, and 12 smaller settlements. 50% of the area is Green Belt and around 18% of the borough’s 60,000 homes are owned by the council. The Council is improving in key priority areas, and the overall rate of improvement is above average compared with other District Councils. Situation The challenge for the borough’s business improvement team was to be able to show the Dacorum community and council members that that their priorities were being met, and to demonstrate to auditors that the organization was managing its business and performance eectively. One of the biggest diculties was to show the linkages between the top-level priorities and the everyday activities of the council. This is commonly alluded to by the Audit Commission as “The Golden Thread.” In order to improve and move to a Portfolio Management approach, where all projects and programs clearly contribute to the Council’s strategic priorities, Dacorum Borough Council had to be able to demonstrate the golden thread process, which included: • setting clear priorities – what we all have to achieve • citizen needs – what our communities need and expect from us • sound nancial control – spending resources wisely and forecasting for the future • improving service delivery – better value for money for citizens • sta engagement and development – ensuring sta have the right skills and opportunities • tracking our progress – celebrating success and reacting quickly where necessary Solution One of the key outcomes to be delivered from this appointment was to improve performance planning and management.

  • Dear Cllr X, Dacorum Borough Council Local Plan: Land Adjacent

    Dear Cllr X, Dacorum Borough Council Local Plan: Land Adjacent

    Dear Cllr X, Dacorum Borough Council Local Plan: Land adjacent to Blegberry Gardens, Shootersway, Berkhamsted (Site Be-h6, Dacorum Schedule of Site Appraisals, October 2017) I am writing to you regarding land in Berkhamsted that Crest Nicholson is promoting for allocation in your council’s new Local Plan, further to my previous letter of November 2017. The land adjacent to Blegberry Gardens is approximately 3.5 hectares on the southwestern edge of the town, off Shootersway. As I set out in my previous letter we believe that this site would make an ideal location for a development of up to 100 homes: • Located in Flood Zone 1 (Low Risk) • Not in a Conservation Area or the AONB • Surrounded on two sides by existing homes • Vehicle access easily provided off Shootersway • Easy pedestrian and cycle routes into Berkhamsted town centre • Defensible boundaries provided by A41 and thick belt of mature trees • Principle of new homes established by ‘Bearroc Park’ development opposite Your council recently finished consulting on its Local Plan Issues and Options paper, and the land adjacent to Blegberry Gardens was identified as site Be-h6 in the accompanying Schedule of Site Appraisals. We have submitted representations to the council setting out our thoughts on the most effective strategy to deliver new homes for the borough, and some of our key considerations are outlined below. 1. Increasing Dacorum’s housing target will help to meet affordable housing need and accommodate new jobs in the borough • Your council’s Issues and Options document proposes that the council increases its housing target beyond the current 430 homes a year agreed in the adopted Core Strategy, to better meet the borough’s housing need.
