A further 66 responses were from 13 other local authority areas and the remaining 258 had missing or incomplete postcodes. The majority of respondents (55%) expressed support for the Mayoral Combined Authority (MCA) and proposals on decision making, place, people and business, although a minority expressed disagreement with proposals. There were differences in views in the different council areas. Bath and North East Somerset had similar numbers of respondents agreeing (44%) and disagreeing (45%) with the proposed MCA, South Gloucestershire had more respondents agree (50%) than disagree (37%), and Bristol had 70% of respondents in agreement (with only 20% disagreeing). There were also clear differences in views with age, with younger respondents more likely to be in favour of proposals compared to older people. 47% of respondents agreed that a mayor would provide increased accountability and transparency for decisions affecting the region, 38% disagreed and 14% were unsure. There was more support for transport and housing proposals compared to adult education and business proposals, although the shift in views was due to respondents being unsure rather than disagreeing with business and adult education proposals. This document sets out the approach taken to the consultation, including details of activities undertaken to ensure that as many people as possible had the opportunity to participate. A summary of the responses gives demographic information about the respondents and then provides both quantitative and qualitative analysis of the responses. This has been organised to reflect the survey structure and covers decision making, transport, housing, adult education, skills & employment and business. There is also a section focused on more general comments. 1 Consultation approach The purpose of this consultation was to seek views from the public on the establishment of a West of England Mayoral Combined Authority (MCA) as a means of exercising devolved powers from Government, in comparison with current arrangements. The aim was to do this in a way that emphasised inclusion and sought responses from as wide and diverse an audience as possible – using plain English to aid communication with all. A consultation proposal was developed and submitted to B&NES, Bristol and South Gloucestershire Councils for consideration and was approved by all three councils on 29 June 2016. The public, including residents, businesses, voluntary and community organisations, and other stakeholders, were then invited to participate in a consultation which was open over a six week period between 4 July and midnight on 15 August 2016. A survey was used as the primary tool for collecting views on the governance scheme, the results of which make up the majority of this report (page seven onwards). The consultation survey The survey was designed to both inform individuals about proposals for the West of England MCA, as well as gain individuals’ views on proposals. It was divided into four sections: • Decision Making • Place (Transport & Housing) • People (Adult Education & Skills) • Business Each section provided some ‘plain English’ information about proposals in that topic area, followed by one or more statements and an opportunity to agree or disagree and provide comments (see Annex A for a copy of the survey). In addition to questions about specific proposals, a question was included to ascertain people’s general views on the proposed MCA. Demographic and equalities information was collected, as well as type of respondent e.g. whether they were a resident, business, elected member, housing association, voluntary and community sector or education sector. IP address information was also collected to monitor multiple responses from the same device. The survey was hosted on SmartSurvey: http://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/WofEdevolution/ and this link could then be embedded in a range of other online channels. Consultation methods The survey was primarily made available online at www.westofenglanddevolution.co.uk (with a supporting audio version) as well as hard copies shared in public libraries, citizen service points, one stop shops and 2 other local hubs. This website also provided plain English information about the proposals, including copies of the Scheme and Strategic Governance Review documents. Links were also made available from each of the council websites, as well as their consultation platforms, the Bristol Consultation Hub (https://bristol.citizenspace.com/), the South Gloucestershire website (www.southglos.gov.uk/consultation) and the B&NES website (www.bathnes.gov.uk/WofEDevo). A consultation email address ([email protected]) was publicised alongside the survey and was used by several organisations and individuals to provide comments for inclusion in the consultation. Ensuring accessibility for all From the outset, there was a commitment by all councils to use clear, plain English language throughout the consultation process to aid understanding by all. The survey was made available in paper and audio versions, plus all publicity materials

  • Charles River at MIT by Fran Charles, MIT Sailing Master
    Charles River at MIT By Fran Charles, MIT Sailing Master Northerly- Starting on the Boston shore and working your way towards Cambridge in the puffs is a game of connect the dots. In your starting sequence, don’t commit too early. Try to hang above the line and take a guess at where along the line you need to be to get into the best pressure that will meet you right after the start. Don’t tack in a lull. Always be patient and develop a database of where you see the righties drop in at the pavilion or to the right of it. The lefties are easier to see as they form along the wall between the pavilion and Mass Ave and are often broadcast by the flags on Killion Court about a minute before they drop into the basin. Nahtheastahlees- Starting area is usually down in the corner where Mass Ave meets Boston. A slow frequency to the shifts makes for longer durations on each tack. Righties are easy to see as the pressure comes down from Harvard sailing and is very visible. Talk with your partner and verbalize what phase you are in. Usually the right is more consistent at the top of the course. However, down by the start and until about half way up the beat, you have a pretty good percentage of seeing some nice lefties drop in. You will see it on the flag at the pavilion and they come in with a dark streakiness about 1/3 of the way out across the river.

  • PDF Download the Incredible Crime : a Cambridge Mystery Ebook, Epub
    THE INCREDIBLE CRIME : A CAMBRIDGE MYSTERY PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Lois Austen-Leigh | 288 pages | 10 May 2017 | British Library Publishing | 9780712356022 | English | London, United Kingdom The Incredible Crime : A Cambridge Mystery PDF Book Private Investigators. The plot was decent and the crime was interesting. A large part of the story revolves around fox hunting, which may alienate many modern readers. As an aside I do also feel that one would need an awful lot more pigeons to facilitate a decent drug smuggling enterprise but maybe the pigeons were enhanced also? Your order is now being processed and we have sent a confirmation email to you at. Recommended to all mystery fans. For example, the chapter on the German refugee begins with a group of students who discover by chance that somebody is taking money from German Jews who want to leave the country and promises to help them escape but actually betrays them to the Gestapo. The Incredible Crime was not a horrible novel, but it didn't appeal to me as a woman or a mystery lover. Shop now. Rather less orthodox is the Jun 04, Isabelle Fourcade rated it liked it. When someone tells you a joke and says "wait for it" it's generally not worth waiting for. Jose Martinez? In fact, I had a bit of trouble figuring out exactly what was meant as the "incredible crime". Log in. Only Basil is not the brightest bulb in the basket and worries that since he only went to visit his aunt because she had threatened to disinherit him, circumstances would make him look very suspicious and so he decides not to call the police.
