We published our draft recommendations in June 1998 and undertook a ten-week period of consultation. In the light of the consultation we have now prepared our final recommendations which confirm our draft recommendations in their entirety. This report sets out our final recommendations for changes to electoral arrangements in Erewash. We recommend that Erewash Borough Council should be served by 51 councillors representing 22 wards, and that changes should be made to ward boundaries in order to improve electoral equality, having regard to the statutory criteria. We recommend that the Council should continue to be elected together every four years. 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 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 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 Erewash ● In 17 of the 22 wards the number of electors on 2 December 1997.

We found that the existing electoral arrangements Recommendations are also made for changes to provide unequal representation of electors in parish council electoral arrangements which Erewash: provide for: ● in 19 of the 25 wards the number of electors ● new warding arrangements for Ockbrook & represented by each councillor varies by Borrowash parish (formerly known as more than 10 per cent from the average for Ockbrook parish). the borough, and 10 wards vary by more than 20 per cent from the average; ● by 2002 electoral equality is not expected to All further correspondence on these improve, with the number of electors per recommendations and the matters discussed councillor forecast to vary by more than 10 in this report should be addressed to the per cent from the average in 17 wards, and Secretary of State for the Environment, by more than 20 per cent in 12 wards. Transport and the Regions, who will not make an order implementing the Commission’s recommendations before 4 Our main final recommendations for future January 1999: electoral arrangements (Figure 1) are that: The Secretary of State ● Erewash Borough Council should be served Department of the Environment, by 51 councillors, one less than at present; Transport and the Regions ● there should be 22 wards, three fewer than Local Government Review at present; Eland House ● the boundaries of 18 of the existing wards Bressenden Place should be modified, while seven wards London SW1E 5DU should retain their existing boundaries; ● elections for the whole council should continue to take place every four years. 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.

Stage One began on 2 December 1997, when we wrote to Erewash Borough Council inviting proposals for future electoral arrangements. Our letter was copied to Derbyshire County Council, Derbyshire Police Authority, the local authority associations, Derbyshire Association of Local Councils, parish councils in the borough, Members of Parliament and the Member of the European Parliament with constituency interests in the borough, and the headquarters of the main political parties. At the start of the review and following publication of our draft recommendations, we published notices in the local press, issued a press release and invited the Council to publicise the review more widely.

Background and the national context Gives an overview of the national context and background. Poverty in Derbyshire Provides an overview of poverty in Derbyshire and the challenges that the county currently faces. Partnership principles Sets out the overarching principles which will apply to, and guide, all areas of work. Addressing the challenges Summarises the four key challenges for Derbyshire and outlines the existing plans and identified actions which will drive forward work across the county over the next three years. Cross cutting partnership priorities Outlines the cross cutting priorities for action which will be the focus of partnership effort and resource moving forward. 2 Introduction Working together to tackle poverty in Derbyshire is not new. There is a wealth of action and work already taking place through a range partnerships and agencies such as the Financial Action and Advice Derbyshire Partnership, the Local Authority Energy Partnership and Public Health partnerships, aimed at improving financial inclusion and capability, reducing fuel poverty and reducing health inequalities. However, the recent economic downturn, the rising costs of goods and services and extensive welfare reforms present significant challenges for partners at a time when public services across the county are facing significant cuts to their budgets. This strategy sets out the approach that we will take to tackle poverty across the county against a backdrop of reducing public sector resources and a growing demand for services.

  • The Works Brass Band – a Historical Directory of the Industrial and Corporate Patronage and Sponsorship of Brass Bands
    The works brass band – a historical directory of the industrial and corporate patronage and sponsorship of brass bands Gavin Holman, January 2020 Preston Corporation Tramways Band, c. 1910 From the earliest days of brass bands in the British Isles, they have been supported at various times and to differing extents by businesses and their owners. In some cases this support has been purely philanthropic, but there was usually a quid pro quo involved where the sponsor received benefits – e.g. advertising, income from band engagements, entertainment for business events, a “worthwhile” pastime for their employees, corporate public relations and brand awareness - who would have heard of John Foster’s Mills outside of the Bradford area if it wasn’t for the Black Dyke Band? One major sponsor and supporter of brass bands, particularly in the second half of the 19th century, was the British Army, through the Volunteer movement, with upwards of 500 bands being associated with the Volunteers at some time – a more accurate estimate of these numbers awaits some further analysis. However, I exclude these bands from this paper, to concentrate on the commercial bodies that supported brass bands. I am also excluding social, civic, religious, educational and political organisations’ sponsorship or support. In some cases it is difficult to determine whether a band, composed of workers from a particular company or industry was supported by the business or not. The “workmen’s band” was often a separate entity, supported by a local trade union or other organisation. For the purposes of this review I will be including them unless there is specific reference to a trade union or other social organisation.

  • Shipley Park, Horsley and Horsley Wood House, Smalley and Mapperley
    Area Profile: Shipley Park, Horsley and Horsley Wood House, Smalley and Mapperley Key Characteristics: Population: 5,975 Population Density: 2.1 Number of Households: 2,523 Area: 2712 hectares Census 2011 The area of Shipley Park, Horsley and Horsley Woodhouse is located to the south of Amber Valley Borough and includes the smaller villages of Coxbench, Smalley and Mapperley. The area adjoins the district of Erewash and it is approximately 6 miles north of Derby and 4 miles west of Nottingham. The area is served by several road transport links including the A38 and A61 on its western boundary. The area is largely rural in character with attractive landscapes, cultural spaces and biological assets. Much of the area was untouched by industrial development in the region, with agriculture traditionally being the most important industry in the area. However, at present, economic activity in the area is restricted and below the Amber Valley average but its housing market contains a mix of good to fair quality housing stock, which has experienced moderate growth over the past decade. 1 Improving Places and Community Needs Local Area: Shipley Park, Horsley, Horsley Woodhouse, Smalley and Mapperley covers 2712 hectares of land in the south of the Borough. Population: At the 2011 Census the population of Shipley Park, Horsley and Horsley Woodhouse was 5,975. Population Density: The population density of the area is 2.1 people / hectare, which is significantly lower than the Borough average of 4.6 people / hectare. Most of its population is concentrated in the settlements of Smalley and Horsley Woodhouse and on the southern side of Heanor.
