Slough Borough Council Election Results 1973-1996 Slough Borough Council Election Results 1973-1996 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).

A review of existing archaeological and historical sources suggested that the Site has a low potential for containing deposits of Prehistoric to Medieval date, and a high potential for containing deposits relating to a terrace of late 19th century buildings. Farming and various phases of construction in the 19th onwards is likely to have truncated to an unknown extent any archaeological deposits across much of the site. _____________________________________________________________________ i Archaeology South-East Lion House, Slough _____________________________________________________________________ CONTENTS 1.

  • Slough Cycling and Walking Map
    The Benefits of Cycling and Walking Slough Cycling and Slough is an ideal area in which to cycle as it is compact and flat. irtuallyV the whole of the borough is within a 20 minute ride of the town centre. Walking and cycling are an ideal alternative to the car for many journeys, including shopping, work and school Walking Map trips, and visiting friends and relatives. Time • Walking and cycling, in particular, can be quicker than driving at times of heavy traffic; • Pedestrians can use one-way streets, pedestrianised areas and other short-cuts not available to vehicles; • Using ‘signalised’ crossings stops traffic to help you cross safely and • Cycling & walking to incorporate physical activity into your day at the same time as getting where you want to go.
