    Item 1 2 Friday, 11 th March, 2016 Samantha Wilkinson 01924 305310 Halifax Town Hall Panel Arrangements and Rules of Conduct of Business 1. Purpose 1.1 To amend the Panel’s Procedures and Protocols in relation to the consideration of complaints against the Police and Crime Commissioner and his/her Deputy in line with legislation. 2. Background 2.1 Following the introduction of Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011, and the establishment of Police and Crime Panels, each Police and Crime Panel is required to make its own rules of procedure for the panel. At its inaugural meeting back in 2012, the Police and Crime Panel agreed a set of Procedures and Protocols for the conduct of its business. These Procedures and Protocols are reviewed on an annual basis to ensure that they remain fit for purpose for the discharge of the Panel’s functions. 2.2 During the process of considering complaints about the Commissioner, it has come to light that the Panel’s Procedures and Protocols are not clear regarding the narrow remit that the Panel has in only being able to consider complaints against the Police and Crime Commissioner and his/her Deputy. 2.3 The Panel’s original procedural rules were drafted at a time when the precise remit of the powers that would be given to PCPs was unclear. It was at that time anticipated that the PCC’s senior staff might be included in the PCP’s remit along with the PCP and the Deputy PCC. However, when the legislation was finalised, it transpired that this was not the case.

  • Halifax Town Hall Planning & Heritage Statement
    Halifax Town Hall Planning & Heritage Statement Proposed Installation of Air Source Heat Pump, Roof Insulation & Replacement Roof Glazing 1. Building History & Significance Halifax Town Hall is a grade II* listed, 19th century town hall of Halifax, West Yorkshire. It is notable for its design and interiors by Charles Barry and his son, Edward Middleton Barry, and for its sculptures by John Thomas. The Mayor and corporation first proposed that they build a new town hall in 1847. They suggested it again in 1853 after the town had become a borough five years earlier but they still had no central offices. They proposed it again in 1856. The later proposals were prompted by the 1853 Improvement Act, which allowed the borough to borrow £15,000 to build a town hall, Courthouse and police station. The 1856 proposal was also prompted by John Crossley, who was at that time developing Princess Street and Crossley Street, using the architects Lockwood and Mawson who later designed Bradford City Hall. This may explain why the town hall blends in with several Crossley Street buildings, which are now listed as a group. The council, Edward Akroyd and John Crossley requested that Charles Barry judge the design entries; he disliked all three entries and was asked in turn to submit his own design. His design was accepted, but he died in 1860. His son, Edward Middleton Barry, completed the design which was erected on a 148 x 90 ft plot on John Crossley's land. The foundation stone was laid in 1861. Whiteley Brothers were the builders.

  • John Crossley 1812 - 1879
    John Crossley 1812 - 1879 Born on the 16th May 1812, John was given a commercial education, though he started work part-time at 12 years old. He was the senior partner in John Crossley and Sons of Dean Clough after his father’s death in 1837, and was its Chairman 1864-1877. Of the three partner brothers, he early took a prominent part in the public life of Halifax, serving as a Liberal Councillor and Alderman from the Borough’s incorporation in 1848. John was Mayor of Halifax for four terms, more than any other man; he promoted the building of the Halifax Town Hall on its present site, and was mayor when it was opened in 1863. For a period, he owned the Halifax Courier newspaper; he helped develop the White Swan Hotel in Princess Street, and the Mechanics’ Institute and Crossley Street, Halifax, was named after him. After the Akroydon building scheme was launched in 1861, John Crossley formed a committee of local businessmen to plan an estate of improved dwellings called the “West Hill Park Model Dwellings” to the north of Lister Lane cemetery. The objective was to encourage thrifty workers to purchase freehold homes for themselves, with building society aid. The scheme was completed in 1868. Having succeeded in life, John had a splendid mansion erected for himself at Manor Heath, near Skircoat Moor, where he entertained the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII) in 1863. He worshipped at Square Chapel, later transferring to the adjacent Square Church, where he served as a Deacon. On the 25th August 1873, as John was being driven in his phaeton to Dean Clough, the horse took fright, and the carriage struck a lamp-post; overturning, John was thrown out, banged his head severely, and was carried off in an insensible condition.
