  • Candidates Yorkshire Region
    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.

  • Notes on the Spotted Rail in Cuba
    NOTES ON THE SPOTTED RAIL IN CUBA GEORGE E. WATSON HE Spotted Rail (Pardirallus maculatus) is exceedingly rare in Cuba T outside the Zapata Swamp, and was thought to be limited to the three central provinces of the island (Bangs, 1913; Barbour, 1923 ; Bond, 1956; Greenway, 1958). It is therefore worth recording its presence and abundance in the westernmost province, Pinar de1 Rio. In addition, a few notes are included on molt, breeding season, available specimens, and habits of the population and taxonomy of the species. The trip during which the specimens mentioned here were collected was partially supported by the Peabody Museum of Yale University. Notes on the collection made between August and December 1955 were published by Ripley and Watson (1956). I am grateful to Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Caswell, Jr., and to the late Mr. Dayton W. Hedges for hospitality during my stay in Cuba and to Srs. Jack Boyle, Gaston S. Villalba, and Jesus Carrillo for facilitating my travel and collecting. Without the services of these persons I would probably never have seen any Spotted Rails. For the loan of specimens I am indebted to R. A. Paynter, Jr., C. H. Blake, C. OBrien,’ J. Bond, H. G. Deignan, and D. W. Warner and I also thank E. Stresemann, G. Mauersberger, and D. Goodwin for reporting on the Berlin and British Museum collections. J. Bond and P. S. Humphrey have given helpful criticism on the manuscript. OCCURRENCE I collected two female Spotted Rails, one laying, in wet rice fields at Finca Dayaniguas, south of Paso Real de San Diego, on 16 September 1955.
