On 26 July 1985 we wrote to Bedfordshire County Council announcing our intention to undertake a review of the County under section 48{1) of the Local Government Act 1972. Copies of the letter were sent to the principal local authorities, and parishes, in Bedfordshire and in the surrounding counties of Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire and Northamptonshire; to the National and County Associations of Local Councils; to the Members of Parliament with constituency interests and to the headquarters of the main political parties. In addition, copies were sent to those government departments, regional health authorities, water authorities, and electricity and gas boards which might have an interest, as well as to British Telecom, the English Tourist Board, the local government press and to local television and radio stations serving the area. 2. The County Councils were requested, in co-operation as necessary with the other local authorities, to assist us in publicising the start of the review by inserting a notice for two successive weeks in local newspapers so as to give a wide coverage in the areas concerned.

  • Datagm Type: Website Organisation(S): GM Local Authorities, Open Data Manchester, GMFRS Tags: Open Data, Process, Standards, Website
    Case Study: DataGM Type: Website Organisation(s): GM local authorities, Open Data Manchester, GMFRS Tags: open data, process, standards, website This was the earliest attempt in Greater Manchester to create a simple datastore that would hold important data from across the region, focussing on government transparency and providing better public services. The result was a highly functional datastore with which brought together data from a wider range of data publishers, and included a total of 371 datasets. It was ultimately not successful in creating a lasting basis for open data cooperation and access in Greater Manchester. However, it provides interesting lessons on how to proceed with future projects. Background DataGM was launched in February 2011, inspired by successful projects in North American cities, such as Track DC (now Open Data DC) in Washington, D.C. and Baltimore City Stats (now Open Baltimore). It was conceived as a one-stop-shop for key datasets on all aspects of city life. The programme emerged through a partnership between Trafford Council and the digital culture agency Future Everything. This began in 2009 when the Manchester Innovation Fund supported Future Everything to build open data innovation architecture in Greater Manchester, funded by NESTA, Manchester Council and the North West Regional Development Agency (now closed). Future Everything and Trafford Council in turn partnered with a wide range of data publishing organisations. These included local authority partners, as well as Greater Manchester Policy, Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service, Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Executive (now Transport for Greater Manchester), and the North West Strategic Health Authority.

  • 1 Electoral Review 2017 South Gloucestershire Unitary
    ELECTORAL REVIEW 2017 SOUTH GLOUCESTERSHIRE UNITARY COUNCIL COMMENTS ON DRAFT RECOMMENDATIONS FROM HANHAM WARD DISTRICT COUNCILLORS We submit the following comments and proposals on the Electoral Commission’s draft recommendations. We note that the Commission proposes retaining the Hanham Ward as a three Member Ward taking account of the projected increase in electors under the current review. We supported the Conservative Group proposal which reduced the seat to a two Member Ward if retaining the three Member Ward entailed bringing in additional electorate from the Woodstock Ward. The Commission’s proposal to expand into the Woodstock Ward (WSC register) would not, in our view, preserve or enhance community ties or make local government more effective. It would, in our opinion, disenfranchise residents in that area and destroy the cohesiveness of the Hanham Ward. We believe that the only viable and logical option if Hanham Ward is to remain a three Member Ward is to expand towards the east into Hanham Abbots (approx. 1,843 electors, 2023 estimate). This would incorporate the east ward of Hanham Abbots parish council, which is currently in the Longwell Green District Ward, into the Hanham District Ward. The west ward of the parish council is already within Hanham Ward. We believe this would strengthen community cohesion, ensure continuity in the decision-making process and enable a seamless delivery of services by the parish council. Below we set out our reasons. Hanham Ward is located on the urban fringe of South Gloucestershire and has strong ties with the rural setting and Green Belt land (Hanham Hills) of Hanham Abbots.

  • Three Policy Priorities for Greater Manchester January 2017
    Three policy priorities for Greater Manchester January 2017 Introduction The first metro mayor of Greater Manchester will be elected with a vision for the city and clear strategic, deliverable policies to meet it. The challenge and workload will be considerable, with powers and expectations ranging from delivering policy, to establishing the institutions and capacity for effective city-region governance. This briefing offers three priorities that address the biggest issues facing Greater Manchester. A ‘quick win’ will help the mayor to set the tone for delivery right from the start. Delivering results quickly will build trust, and show what the metro mayor is able to do for the city-region. The best ‘quick wins’ in these circumstances are high profile and of value to citizens. Strategic decisions form the framework for delivering the metro mayor’s vision. As such, the mayor will have the power to take the decisions that will make the most of the new geography of governance. While the mayor will be keen to show progress towards their vision, strategic decisions will often take longer to show outcomes, therefore careful evaluation is needed to allow for flexibility and to demonstrate the effects. A long term vision for the city will be the key election platform – it is what the mayor is working towards while in office. This should be ambitious, but reflect the real needs and potential of the city. Some aspects of the vision will be achievable within the mayor’s term in office, while others will build momentum or signal a change in direction. It is important to be clear and strike the balance of where each policy lies on this spectrum.

  • Review of Community Governance in the Unparished Area of Durham City Carried out by Durham County Council Final Recommendations
    Review of Community Governance in the Unparished Area of Durham City carried out by Durham County Council Final Recommendations (No Parishing Arrangements) On 26 October 2011, the County Council approved terms of reference for the conduct of a Community Governance Review in the area of Durham City. The terms of reference were published on 1 November and included the terms of the petition which had been received from residents requesting the establishment of a town council. Although the petition was not compliant with the legislation the Council decided to undertake the review. On 21 st March 2012, the Council approved Draft Recommendations for a second period of consultation with Durham. This draft can be accessed at www.durham.gov.uk/communitygovernance On 25 July 2012, the Council approved a further consultation of the areas of Aykley Vale, Priory Road and Dryburn Park to request whether the residents of these areas would prefer to be either simply parished, or to join Framwellgate Moor Parish Council. The Review The Council is carried out this review under the Local Government Public Involvement in Health Act 2007 (‘the Act’). It was known to the Council that there was a wish in the area by some residents to have the review with a view to establishing parish council arrangements. The review was however delayed whilst the Council was waiting for the Local Government Boundary Commission for England recommendations in relation to electoral arrangements for County Durham, following Local Government Reorganisation in 2009. The review was commenced before final recommendations were published by the Boundary Commission in order to enable the Council to put in place any electoral arrangements for any parish council established by the review in time for the County Council elections on 2 May 2013.

  • Community Plan 27-End with Cover Ali.Qxd
    PURBECK COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP - COMMUNITY PLAN FOR PURBECK PURBECK COMMUNITY 1.7. IntroductionSupporting Groups PARTNERSHIP There are other groups covering the following areas that will support the work of the Purbeck Community Partnership Task Groups: SPORT AND RECREATION Sport and recreation activities have traditionally been promoted for their own sake, however, they are now also being used to increase the quality of life for individuals and communities by successfully tackling locally identified social issues. Sport and recreation has a very important role in delivering many of the key issues that have been identified in the Purbeck Community Plan. Although sport and recreation has not been considered as a priority theme in its own right it can act as a 'vehicle' or 'tool' to help deliver the priority themes of crime reduction, transport, health, and young people. Winning the bid to host the Olympics in 2012 has guaranteed that nationally sport and recreation will have a high profile for the foreseeable future. The challenge that hosting the Olympics has set at a local level is in promoting greater participation and developing talent in competitive activities. Lead organisation: Purbeck District Council. Contact: Sport and Recreation Development Officer. Tel: 01929 557336. TOURISM Purbeck District Council Tourism Service aims to ensure that the community and economic benefits which tourism brings are maximised for the majority of the District's population, consistent with the need to minimise environmental impact. Tourism can help to drive forward priority and key issues within the community plan. This is achieved in partnership with a number of organisations including: Town & Parish Councils, Purbeck Heritage Committee, Purbeck Tourism Group, the Association of Purbeck Tourism Attractions, Swanage & Purbeck Hoteliers, the Best of Dorset Attractions Consortium, and the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site team, to name a few.
