Neighbours a few yards away and in the same street will have different representatives. How can two representatives make a clear case for one community? It makes no sense from a representation point of view.

Windermere is a town and all of it should be managed as one entity. The people of Windermere regards themselves as residents of Windermere not Ambleside or Grasmere. These are two entirely separate communities. The interests of the residents of part of Windermere cannot possibly be the same as those of Ambleside and Grasmere. It is like splitting a local community. It cannot possibly assist in the management of local government to have two parts of that area positioned so far apart.There is a natural break between north Windermere and Ambleside which should be the boundary not some arbitrarily drawn line which takes no account of the identity of the residents.

The suggested revised boundary is entirely arbitrary and takes no account of the natural social, economic and geographical differentiation between the communities. There is limited integration between the well defined and identifiable settlements of Ambleside and the Windermere/Bowness. I and my friends would walk, cycle and drive to Windermere and Bowness but seldom Ambleside, for the purposes of shopping, dinning, financial services and leisure. A far better boundary would be drawn between Millerground Bridge and Windermere School.

I do NOT wish to see Windermere split and half of it become Ambleside/Grasmere. Leave the boundary as it is.

Also as Arnside is in the process of working towards an AONB Management Area Agreement which would include Beetham but not Milnthorpe it seems as though no consideration has been given to existing partnership arrangements. Milnthorpe would not sit comfortably in this. I also do not think that the idea of having an election every year is a good one, people will become fed up with constant electioneering, especially since each year the balance of the council could be changed and the policies followed as a result could become disjointed. There is also the risk of loosing valuable experience on the councils, and this could lead to loss of functions simply because things fall through the net with constant change. I have not drawn my preferred option as it would be to leave things exactly as they are. I feel that the number of councillors per ward is a very arbitrary way to re-draw boundaries and takes no account of local geography or historical affiliations. I do not feel under represented at present, and I doubt if the current proposals would enhance that in any way Uploaded Documents: None Uploaded https://consultation.lgbce.org.uk/node/print/informed-representation/8591 1/1 7/13/2016 Local Boundary Commission for England Consultation Portal South Lakeland District P ersonal Details: Nam e: Ruth Crossley E-m ail: P ostcode: Organisation Nam e: Comment text: I do not think that the proposed ward which includes where I live a correct grouping. Many people from here (LA8 8PY) go to Milnthorpe for medical services, chemist regular shopping etc. Also the area around the Kent Estuary is rural unlike the stonecross area of Kendal which is completely different. The local Churches are forming a group around the Kent Estuary including, Levens, Heversham, Milnthorpe, Beetham Storth and Arnside.

It is as though you are trying to obliterate half the town of Windermere an put it into Ambleside. You will fail to get residents of the town of Windermere to consider themselves as residents of Ambleside or Grasmere. The proposal should be scrapped and thought out properly. It appears as though I will be a resident of Ambleside and my neighbour a resident of Windermere who live in the same town. Under your proposal will Windermere Railway Station be renamed Ambleside and Grasmere Railway Station? Please think again.

It seems apparent that the first of the three factors set out as to be taken into account - each Councillor to represent roughly the same number of electors as elsewhere in the Authority - has been the overriding consideration in the review with little if any regard to the second factor that ward patterns should reflect community interest and that boundaries should be identifiable. The division of Windermere would be clearly detrimental to the community interests of residents of Windermere, and the boundary which literally just cuts through part of the town is artificial and certainly not readily identifiable. It surely cannot be sensible for Windermere railway station and the sign welcoming people to Windermere to be in Ambleside and Grasmere. Windermere is too far away from Ambleside and Grasmere to share any strong community interest. It may well be that residents in either place shop in the other, and the only railway station in the locality is at Windermere, but there it ends. Both Windermere and Ambleside & Grasmere have their own flourishing local community groups and it must be very unlikely that there is much if any crossover. Distance alone militates against that. The residents of that part of Windermere proposed to be split off are hardly likely to discontinue following their community interests in Windermere and travel instead to Grasmere or Ambleside. Their interests and any concerns they may have about local government will remain in Windermere. A vote for councillors representing Ambleside and Grasmere would therefore be completely inappropriate. While the ideal objective might be to see that each elector is able to vote at each election, the terms of the review make it plain that should not be the only criteria on which ward boundaries are set, and acknowledges that some of the factors to be considered in the review can be contradictory. The review also states that geographically separate areas are not acceptable. All these points argue very strongly in favour of leaving the boundary where it now is at Troutbeck Bridge, which geographically is a very much more logical place for it to be.

  • The Multiple Estate: a Framework for the Evolution of Settlement in Anglo-Saxon and Scandinavian Cumbria
    THE MULTIPLE ESTATE: A FRAMEWORK FOR THE EVOLUTION OF SETTLEMENT IN ANGLO-SAXON AND SCANDINAVIAN CUMBRIA Angus J. L. Winchester In general, it is not until the later thirteenth century that surv1vmg documents enable us to reconstruct in any detail the pattern of rural settlement in the valleys and plains of Cumbria. By that time we find a populous landscape, the valleys of the Lake District supporting communi­ ties similar in size to those which they contained in the sixteenth century, the countryside peppered with corn mills and fulling mills using the power of the fast-flowing becks to process the produce of field and fell. To gain any idea of settlement in the area at an earlier date from documentary sources, we are thrown back on the dry, bare bones of the structure of landholding provided by a scatter of contemporary documents, including for southern Cumbria a few bald lines in the Domesday survey. This paper aims to put some flesh on the evidence of these early sources by comparing the patterns of lordship which they reveal in different parts of Cumbria and by drawing parallels with other parts of the country .1 Central to the argument pursued below is the concept of the multiple estate, a compact grouping of townships which geographers, historians and archaeologists are coming to see as an ancient, relatively stable framework within which settlement in northern England evolved during the centuries before the Norman Conquest. The term 'multiple estate' has been coined by G. R. J. Jones to describe a grouping of settlements linked

  • Research in Progress
    NOTES 1 I should like to thank Miss Jean Kennedy, county archivist, and the staff of the Norfolk Record Office whose active co-operation and interest have helped me so much during the past seven years . In particular, I should like to thank Mr Paul Rutledge, senior assistant archivist, who, with his eye for the significance of things, drew my attention to `The Seven Deadly Sins', and who helped me to make some sense of a few difficult readings . I am greatly indebted, also, to Dr Cameron Louis, editorial assistant with Records of Early English Drama, who, prudently, caused me to suppress some of my own `poetic' readings in favour of his paleographic ones . It was he who told me of `A Fifteenth Century Didactic Poem in British Museum Add . MS. 29729,' which resembles the Norwich one and, during the past few months, he has made many other valuable suggestions. 2 For a brief survey of the various types of records of visitations, see Dorothy M . Owen, The Records of the Established Church in England (British Records Association, 1970), 30-5 . 3 By my count the folios are 132v and 133 . 4 For a brief discussion of the subject and a transcript of the poem, see A.S .G . Edwards, Neu- philologische Mitteilungen, 70 (1969), 702-6 . Research in progress AUDREY W . DOUGLAS Cumbria county has three record offices : Carlisle, which houses city of Carlisle and former Cumberland county documents ; Kendal, which holds its own materials and those of the former Westmorland ; and Barrow, a new deposit for the Furness area, until 1972 part of Lancashire but now incorporated in Cumbria.
