Rother District Council Election Results 1973-2011 Rother District Council Election Results 1973-2011 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).

  • Written Evidence Submitted by the Northern Parish Councils of Rother District Council and Burwash: Save Our Fields (The Joint Group) [FPS 143]
    Written evidence submitted by the northern parish councils of Rother District Council and Burwash: Save our Fields (the Joint group) [FPS 143] Introduction 1) The members of the Joint group are: a) Councillors from Brightling Parish Council, Burwash Parish Council, Etchingham Parish Council, Salehurst and Robertsbridge Parish Council, and Ticehurst Parish Council b) Our County councillor c) Two of the local Rother District councillors d) Members of Burwash: Save our Fields 2) Burwash: Save our Fields was set up in 2014. Details of the group can be found at www.burwashsaveourfields.org.uk/. Since 2014, the group has been involved in about 12 planning applications, issues and planning appeals and it has seen its arguments accepted in all of them. 3) The Joint group was set up this year to co-ordinate a response to government planning proposals. 4) Areas the Joint group can assist you with: a) Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONBs) 83% of Rother District Council is in an AONB. Over 90% of Rother District Council is in a protected area, the AONB, Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), RAMSAR sites etc., see para 28. b) Rural issues The parishes are rural parishes. Planning is primarily urban-centric. Rural issues in planning are some of the most intractable. c) Local perspective Parishes and local groups are able to assess how planning works for the public. They have an independent focus about their impact on villages which statistics rarely provide. Unlike some witnesses, our overriding consideration is the public interest. All but one of the parishes have recently been involved in drafting a Neighbourhood plan.

  • ECO Flex Statement of Intent
    EAST SUSSEX BETTER TOGETHER ENERGY COMPANY OBLIGATION: HELP TO HEAT LOCAL AUTHORITY FLEXIBLE ELIGIBILITY STATEMENT OF INTENT Local authorities (the Councils): Eastbourne Borough Council East Sussex County Council Hastings Borough Council Lewes District Council Rother District Council Wealden District Council Date of publication: 1 November 2018 Version: 2.0 1. Introduction 1.1 This document seeks to respond to the statutory requirements for ECO Help to Heat as set out in the ECO3 Amendment Order and the guidance to local authorities issued by BEIS https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/energy-company- obligation-eco-help-to-heat-scheme-flexible-eligibility. The BEIS guidance included a suggested template Statement of Intent, confirming the elements that are mandatory.1 1.2 This is version 2.0 of this document. Version 1.0 was previously approved on 15 December 2017. Following a review of operation of this version of the statement of intent the income threshold was found to be a barrier to accessing ECO funding and hence this new version has a revised eligibility criterion. 1.3 Living in a cold home is a contributory factor to the number of excess winter deaths. Excess winter deaths (EWD) are the additional deaths that occur in winter months when compared with the non-winter months, due to various factors including: the temperature the level of disease in the population how well equipped people are to cope with the drop in temperature. 1 The council credits the Association of Local Energy Officers (ALEO) for their template from which this Statement of intent has been adapted 1 1.4 Across East Sussex in the last five years an average of over 350 more people each year have died in the winter period compared with the rest of the year,2 with 10 to 30% of these deaths estimated to have occurred because of the impact of cold temperatures in the home on vulnerable people.3 There are various complex factors that link cold temperatures to excess winter deaths.

  • Rother District – Council Tax 2021/22 Introduction
    Rother District – Council Tax 2021/22 Introduction The Council has increased its Council Tax by £4.61 for the 2021/22 financial year which equates to an increase of 2.5% bringing the annual charge to £188.71 for a Band D property. There continues to be significant financial pressures on the Council for 2021/22 and beyond. The Council is responding to these pressures through its financial stability programme which is designed to deliver additional income and savings that will balance the budget by 2024/25. In the interim the Council will use its reserves to best safeguard the essential services it delivers.
