    CONTAINS PULLOUTS Spatial Adjustments in the Teesside Economy, 1851-81. I. Bullock. NEWCASTLE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY ---------------------------- 087 12198 3 ---------------------------- A Thesis Submitted to the University of Newcastle upon Tyne in Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of PhD, Department of Geography 1970a ABSTRACT. This study is concerned with spatial change in a reg, - ional economy during a period of industrialization and rapid growth. It focuses on two main issues : the spatial pattl-rn of economic growth, and the locational adjustments induced and required by that process in individual sectors of the economy. Conceptually, therefore, the thesis belongs to the category of economic development studies, but it also makes an empirical contribution to knowledge of Teesside in a cru- cial period of the regionts history. In the first place, it was deemed necessary to estab- lish that economic growth did occur on Teesside between 1851 and 1881. To that end, use was made of a number of indirect indices of economic performance. These included population change, net migration, urbanization and changes in the empl. oyment structure of the region. It was found that these indicators provided evidence of economic growth, and evide- nce that growth was concentrated in and around existing urban centres and in those rural areas which had substantial mineral resources. To facilitate the examination of locational change in individual sectors of the economy - in mining, agriculture, manufacturing and the tertiary industries -, the actual spa- tial patterns were compared with theoretical models based on the several branches of location theory. In general, the models proved to be useful tools for furthering understand- ing of the patterns of economic activity and for predicting the types of change likely to be experienced during industr- ial revolution.

In the early days of the club this publication formed the focus of information desemmination and was published continuously from 1881 until 1932. Despite the enormous changes in land use which have occurred in the last 60 years, and indeed the change in geographical area brought about by the fairly recent formation of Cleveland County, many of the old records published in the Proceedings still hold true and even those species which have disappeared or contracted in range are of value in providing useful base line data for modern day surveys.

  • Review of Polling Districts and Polling Places 2018 Consultation Report
    Review of Polling Districts And Polling Places 2018 Consultation Report NOTICE OF POLLING DISTRICTS & POLLING STATION REVIEW Review of Polling Districts and Polling Places in accordance with the requirements of Section 18C(1) of the Representation of the People Act 1983 and Electoral Registration and Administration Act 2013. The Local Government Boundary Commission for England has now published its final recommendations for new electoral arrangements for Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council. The recommendations must now be approved by Parliament and a draft order, to bring in to force their recommendations, has been laid in Parliament. Subject to Parliamentary Scrutiny, the new electoral arrangements will come into force at the Local Elections in 2019. The Local Government Boundary Commission for England has recommended an increase in the number of wards within the Borough from 22 to 24. Each Ward is required to be sub-divided into polling districts; the number of polling districts will however decrease from 101 to 86. All polling districts have been re-categorised using with new reference letters which are more meaningful to the Ward and Parliamentary Constituency, for example BMTAM, where BMT reflects the ward (Belmont), A defines the sub district and M is the constituency the ward belongs to (Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland). A polling place is provided for electors living within each polling district. The changes to Wards mean that the Council was required to carry out a review of polling districts and polling places within the Borough, pursuant to Section 18C of the Representation of the People Act 1983. Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council is therefore conducting a review of the polling districts and polling places.

Skengrave, a small village, thrives by the great variety of fish which it takes; where it is reported that, seventy years ago, they caught a sea-man, who lived upon raw fish for some days, but at last, taking his opportunity, he made his escape into his own element. When the winds are laid and the sea is calm… a hideous groaning is oftentimes heard in these parts on a sudden, and then the fishermen are afraid to go to sea.” Another account claims that during his stay “fayre maidens were welcomest guests to his harbour, whome he woulde beholde with a very earnest countenaynce, as if his phlegmatic breast had been touched with the sparke of love.” (J.W.

    Redcar & Cleveland Authority’s Monitoring Report 2017-2018 this is Redcar & Cleveland 1.0 Introduction 1 - What is the Authority’s Monitoring Report (AMR)? 1 - Why monitor? 1 - How is the report structured? 2 - Further information 2 2.0 A place called Redcar and Cleveland 3 3.0 Monitoring plan making 5 - Have there been any significant changes to national planning policy? 5 - What progress has been made on the Local Development Plan? 7 4.0 Economic development 13 5.0 Housing 27 Contents 6.0 Transport and community infrastructure 39 7.0 Environmental quality 43 this is Redcar & Cleveland 1.1 What is the Authority’s Monitoring Report? The Authority’s Monitoring Report (AMR) is part of the Redcar & Cleveland Local Development Plan (LDP). Its key purpose is to assess the progress made in preparing the LDP, the effectiveness of LDP policies and to make any recommendations on where policy changes should be made. This AMR covers the period 1 April 2017 to 31 March 2018, and also includes anything significant which has happened since this monitoring period. 1.2 Why do we need to monitor? Monitoring is a vital process of plan and policy making. It reports on what is happening now and what may happen in the future. These trends are assessed against existing policies and targets to determine whether or not current policies are performing as expected, ensuring that the LDP continues to contribute to the attractiveness and functionality of Redcar and Cleveland as a place to live, work, invest and visit. Up until now, the AMR has monitored trends to assess the performance of the policies within the Local Development Framework (LDF), which is made up of the Core Strategy Development Plan Document (DPD) and Development Policies DPD and the Saved Policies of the 1999 Local Plan.
