The Boundary Committee has also recommended a reduction in the number of wards from the current 48 to 39. It means all wards will be represented by a single councillor, except for a new large ward covering St Helens, Brading and Bembridge, which will have two members. The fi nal recommendations will now go to the Electoral Commission School reforms – to make the necessary legislation to bring about the changes. It is expected the new arrangements will come into effect for the consulting on the fi nal 2009 local elections.

  • Name of Meeting
    19/10 DECISION UNDER DELEGATED POWERS DECISION CANNOT BE TAKEN BEFORE TUESDAY, 20 APRIL 2010 Title HIGHWAYS & TRANSPORT FEES AND CHARGES 2010/11 Report Author REPORT TO THE CABINET MEMBER FOR ENVIRONMENT & TRANSPORT PURPOSE 1. To recommend increases in fees and charges by more than inflation of 1.5% and to introduce new fees and charges with effect from 1 April 2010. OUTCOMES 2. A decision whether or not to increase specific fees and charges by more than inflation. BACKGROUND 3. The constitution states that it is the responsibility of Directors and Heads of Services to maximise income through charging and trading as well as any other sources of additional funding. 4. Fees and charges must be applied consistently to all and be in accordance with Council Policies. These should be reviewed annually to ensure they remain current and take into account proper inflationary increases and other new charges. 5. Where an increase in fees or charges by more than the inflationary rate is thought appropriate authority must be sought from the cabinet portfolio holder to bring those increases into effect STRATEGIC CONTEXT 6. This report proposes increases of existing or introduction of new charges in the following areas that align with the Council’s Value for Money strategy and contribute to the Corporate Theme of Delvering Better Services: Fees for lost or replacement bus passes 7. Currently the charges made for the replacement for all types of bus pass, whether they be scholars term tickets or free passes for senior citizens or people with disability, are set at £5.

  • Passenger Information During Snow Disruption December 2010
    Passenger information during snow disruption December 2010 A Rail passenger Information during snow disruption December 2010 Headline Findings 1. The National Rail Enquiries (NRE) website appears to have coped well with very high volumes 2. The online real time journey planner on the NRE website did not show correct information for some train operating companies (TOCs) 3. The online journey planners on TOC and third-party websites did not generally reflect the contingency timetables in operation 4. Tickets continued to be available for sale online for many trains that would not run 5. Station displays appear to have reflected formal contingency timetables, except for Southeastern 6. Station displays and online Live Departure Boards did not always keep pace with events 7. The NRE call centres appear to have provided good information, but queuing times of 11 or 12 minutes were common. 1 The National Rail Enquiries appears to have coped well with very high volumes We saw no evidence that the NRE website crashed or was slower than usual, despite a large spike in volume (Chris Scoggins reported that the volume on 2 December was twice the previous record peak on 7 January 2010). 2 The online real time journey planner on the NRE website did not show correct information for some train operating companies NRE had to advise passengers not to use the journey planner for enquiries about East Coast, Southeastern and South West Trains. This was a significant failure, with three scenarios: 2a Although the journey planner showed services from a contingency timetable for East Coast on 1 and 2 December, it also showed services from the base timetable that were no longer running.

  • Northwood Plan.Pub
    Northwood Parish Plan October 2007 Contents 4 Foreword 5 An Introductory Summary 7 Background to the Parish Plan 8 Our Community - a Brief Overview 13 How the Parish Plan Was Created 15 Summary of Consultation Outcomes 18 Subject Areas • Social and Community • Services • Economic • Land and Environment 39 The Next Steps 40 The Parish Action Plan 45 Sustainability 46 Appendix • Questionnaire Responses, including Quotations • Community Organisations and Contacts • Acknowledgements Copies of this document may be obtained in large print by contacting Paul Fuller 289595 - 74 Wyatts Lane 3 Foreword Work started on the Parish Plan in 2003, although it wasn’t until 2005 when the IW Rural Community Council embraced the perseverance of the Northwood Community Partnership in seeing the Parish Plan properly funded, and this was when the hard work really began. At that time, Northwood ‘broke the mould’ in that we became the first unparished area in the country to receive funding from a RCC for its Parish Plan. With our new Parish Council being established next year, it is with pride that our community has created this Parish Plan based upon the views that Northwood holds most passionately. I hope when reading this Plan it becomes clear how strongly some residents feel about Northwood, and what we can do as a community to preserve, enhance and develop the village for future generations. By doing much of the work ourselves, we have ensured that sufficient funding remains to allow each household in the village to receive a copy of this Plan. I would like to thank everyone who has contributed, all local and all voluntarily, particularly my predecessors Mike Andrew and Councillor Roger Mazillius, for being ’volunteered’ to co- ordinate the Plan when nobody else wanted to! The time to prepare, write and evaluate the consultation processes for the Parish Plan has been immense, and created many sleepless nights for those involved.
