Having St Margaret’s Road, Ward End, been used to being so busy, I’ve found it quite hard to B8 2BA adjust! So, as well as applying for other jobs, I wanted to find something more useful I could do with my time every Wednesday and was pleased when I was able to volunteer at Aston. from 1.00 to 3.00pm One of the best things about my job is the feeling of The Salvation Army, Gladstone teamwork, so it’s been great to meet and get to know Street, Aston, B6 7NY the group over the past few weeks.

  • Ladywood District Jobs and Skills Plan 2015 Overview of Ladywood District1
    Ladywood Jobs and Skills Plan Ladywood District Jobs and Skills Plan 2015 Overview of Ladywood District1 Ladywood District covers the majority of the city centre, along with inner city areas to the north and east. It is composed of 4 wards – Aston, Ladywood, Nechells and Soho. Much of the district experiences some very challenging conditions in terms of labour market status, with very high levels of unemployment. But this contrasts with the city centre area – the east of Ladywood ward, and the south-west of Nechells ward – where unemployment and deprivation levels are low. Ladywood has a younger age profile to the city centre with a higher proportion of under 40s and fewer over 45s. Overall the proportion of working age adults (70%) is well above the city average (64%). The proportion rises to 84% in Ladywood ward, but is close to the city average in the other 3 wards. There are 23,828 residents aged 18-24 equating to 19% of the population, compared to 12 % for Birmingham, driven at least in part by large numbers of students. The ethnic profile of the working age population in the district differs to that of the city, with a much lower proportion of white working age residents (32%) compared to the city average (59%). But this masks ward variations, with the proportion only 15% in Aston, 23% in Soho and 31% in Nechells wards, but much closer to the city average at 52% in Ladywood ward. Overall, the largest non-white groups are Pakistani (13%) and Black Caribbean (9%). The Pakistani group forms 20% of the population in Aston and 16% in Nechells and Soho wards ,but only 3% in Ladywood ward.

  • Candidates West Midlands
    Page | 1 LIBERAL/LIBERAL DEMOCRAT CANDIDATES in PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS in the WEST MIDLAND REGION 1945-2015 ALL CONSTITUENCIES WITHIN THE COUNTIES OF HEREFORDSHIRE SHROPSHIRE STAFFORDSHIRE WARWICKSHIRE WORCESTERSHIRE INCLUDING SDP CANDIDATES in the GENERAL ELECTIONS of 1983 and 1987 COMPILED BY LIONEL KING 1 Page | 2 PREFACE As a party member since 1959, based in the West Midlands and a parliamentary candidate and member of the WMLF/WMRP Executive for much of that time, I have been in the privileged position of having met on several occasions, known well and/or worked closely with a significant number of the individuals whose names appear in the Index which follows. Whenever my memory has failed me I have drawn on the recollections of others or sought information from extant records. Seven decades have passed since the General Election of 1945 and there are few people now living with personal recollections of candidates who fought so long ago. I have drawn heavily upon recollections of conversations with older Liberal personalities in the West Midland Region who I knew in my early days with the party. I was conscious when I began work, twenty years ago, that much of this information would be lost forever were it not committed promptly to print. The Liberal challenge was weak in the West Midland Region over the period 1945 to 1959 in common with most regions of Britain. The number of constituencies fought fluctuated wildly; 1945, 21; 1950, 31; 1951, 3; 1955 4. The number of parliamentary constituencies in the region averaged just short of 60, a very large proportion urban in character.
