LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND iii iv LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND Local Government Commission for England 22 June 1999 Dear Secretary of State On 23 June 1998 the Commission began a periodic electoral review of Waltham Forest under the Local Government Act 1992. We published our draft recommendations in January 1999 and undertook an eight- week period of consultation. We have now prepared our final recommendations in the light of the consultation. We have substantially confirmed our draft recommendations, although some modifications have been made (see paragraphs 96-97) in the light of further evidence. This report sets out our final recommendations for changes to electoral arrangements in Waltham Forest. We recommend that Waltham Forest Borough Council should be served by 60 councillors representing 20 wards, and that changes should be made to ward boundaries in order to improve electoral equality, having regard to the statutory criteria. We note that you have now set out in the White Paper Modern Local Government – In Touch with the People (Cm 4014, HMSO), legislative proposals for a number of changes to local authority electoral arrangements. However, until such time as that new legislation is in place we are obliged to conduct our work in accordance with current legislation, and to continue our current approach to periodic electoral reviews. I would like to thank members and officers of the Borough Council and other local people who have contributed to the review. Their co-operation and assistance have been very much appreciated by Commissioners and staff. Yours sincerely PROFESSOR MALCOLM GRANT Chairman LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND v vi LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND SUMMARY The Commission began a review of Waltham ● In all 20 wards the number of electors per Forest on 23 June 1998.

London SW1E 5DU Our main final recommendations for future electoral arrangements (Figures 1 and 2 and paragraphs 96-97) are that: ● Waltham Forest Borough Council should be served by 60 councillors, compared to 57 at present; ● there should be 20 wards, as at present, which would involve changes to the boundaries of all but four of the existing wards. These recommendations seek to ensure that the number of electors represented by each borough councillor is as nearly as possible the same, having regard to local circumstances.

  • The Rganic Food & Farming Targets Bill Newsletter
    The ¤rganic Food & Farming Targets Bill Newsletter Issue 3, October 2000 utstanding support for the Organic Targets…. In Parliament 239 MPs have signed the Early Day Motion (EDM) supporting the Bill – this means 46% of all the MPs who are permitted to sign up have done Oso - a great achievement. Support from Conservative MPs is still weak but a few more have come on board – thanks to your lobbying and our meeting with Tim Yeo MP – the Shadow Agriculture Minister. And now 84 organisations also support the Bill. You can help us generate even more support by joining in activities on our day of action, scheduled for Apple Day on October 21st. (See below for details) As expected, the Bill ran out of time during the last session of Parliament. But with such a huge amount of support in Parliament now, we are confident that an MP who comes high up in the Ballot for Private Members’ Bills in December will adopt the Bill. (See the inside pages for how you can help make this happen.) There are signs that the Government is moving agriculture in the right direction - the area of land converted to organic farming is now an official Government indicator of sustainable agriculture, and in the recent spending review the Government adopted ‘an increase in the area of organic ally farmed land’ as one of its Public Service Agreements to which it can be held accountable. Now, let’s help the Government realise its aims! Apple Day Action and the ¤rganic Targets Bill Apple Day is an annual celebration of apples, orchards and part in the national longest apple peel competition (organic of local distinctiveness.
