Prior to 1976, councillors were elected at general elections held every three years but as a result of an order made under the Local Government Act, 1972, the term of office of members of London borough councils was increased to four years. The number of wards in a borough varies from 19 in Barking and Dagenham, Richmond upon Thames and Tower Hamlets, to 36 in Greenwich, with from 1 to 3 councillors elected for each ward. London borough councils have from 48 to 70 members. Electors have as many votes as there are councillors in each ward. Before 1978 each council included aldermen, to a maximum of one sixth of the councillors, elected by the councillors from among themselves or from persons qualified to be councillors. Under the Local Government Act, 1972, the office of alderman of a London borough council ceased to exist after the 1978 elections. The mayor of each borough is elected annually by each council from among the councillors. Cities of London and Westminster The City of London is constituted differenlly to the London boroughs and is therefore not included in this election. The Corporation consists of 130 common councilmen, 4 to 12 of whom are elected annually for each ward, and 25 aldermen (one for each ward) in addition to the Lord Mayor. The aldermen are elected for life by the ward voters (who include business as well as resident voters). Data for the City of London and Westminster South constituency therefore, are restricted to that part lying within the City of Westminster. Calculations The method of calculating the percentage votes cast for the main party groups used first in the 1982 volume has been employed again in this publication. This method involves using the average vote per seat in a ward when building to borough constituency level or Greater London, thus removing possible bias arising from differing numbers of seats per ward in a borough. In order that comparisons may be made at a borough level with elections held before 1982, a table has been produced using a strict percentage of votes cast and this may be found in the Appendix. Population The estimates of total population used in table 3, relate to April 1986 and come from the 1985 round of London borough projections (GLC Statistical Series 52).

  • Chipping Barnet Team Parish Profile
    Chipping Barnet Team Parish Profile November 2013 Team Overview Location Chipping Barnet is a multi-layered collection of communities that does not reveal its true self at first, or second, glance. In civic and political terms, Barnet (of which Chipping Barnet is a part) is a borough on the northern edge of Greater London. Economically the population covers the socio-economic spectrum, from affluent Hadley and Arkley, to the deprived Whitings Hill and Dollis Valley Estate. The Parish of Chipping Barnet is situated at the extreme southern tip of St Albans Diocese, to the point where London diocese parishes exist between us and our cathedral. Culturally and socially, the church urban fund (www.cuf.org.uk) places us 289 out of the 339 parishes in the diocese, which puts us among the most deprived of parishes. We are ranked around 8000 out of the 13000 parishes in the UK - a “relatively deprived” parish in national terms. The Church Urban Fund identify lone parenthood and child poverty as the two key concerns, and, as mentioned within the individual church sections, we actively support the Chipping Barnet foodbank and the Winter Night Shelter scheme (which offers food and a place to sleep for homeless people throughout the winter months). The Team Rector has a significant civic role as well as the more usual pastoral activities. As well as sitting on the governing body of the two Queen Elizabeth Schools, there are ex-officio posts on the trustees of four locally endowed charities. For example, the Hyde Foundation owns the historic library building in the centre of the Barnet conservation area and has the disbursement of the rental on the property to support the education of young people who live within the boundary of the old parish of St John the Baptist and that of our neighbours in Monken Hadley.

The ALGG SPG document is guidance that is supplementary to London Plan policies. While it does not have the same formal development plan status as these policies, it has been formally adopted by the Mayor as supplementary guidance under his powers under the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (as amended). Adoption followed a period of public consultation, and a summary of the comments received and the responses of the Mayor to those comments is available on the Greater London Authority website. It will therefore be a material consideration in drawing up development plan documents and in taking planning decisions.

  • Polling District and Polling Places Review 2011 Final Report of the Returning Officer
    Appendix A Polling District and Polling Places Review 2011 Final Report of the Returning Officer This report sets out for consideration by the Council the Returning Officer’s arrangements for polling districts and polling places within the London Borough of Croydon. The review has been conducted according to the requirements of the Review of Polling Districts and Polling Places (Parliamentary Elections) Regulations 2006 that came into force on 1 January 2007. The consultation period lasted from 1 September until 23 September 2011. All submissions were considered and appear in this final report. The Polling District Review Task Group, consisting of four members of the Council, considered and reviewed the Returning Officer’s proposals. The methodology followed in producing the proposals was as follows: • That the Returning Officer’s median figure for the initial review of 1,750 projected polling station voters per polling district formed the basis of the recommendations within this report • That, in line with Electoral Commission guidelines, there will no more than 2,500 electors allocated to each polling station • That electors will be distributed equally amongst all polling districts in the Ward, where practicable • That accessibility requirements will be accounted for when allocating polling places • That local disability groups will be consulted as part of the review • Polling district boundaries could be changed but not the Ward boundaries Other considerations: • There are many new developments in the process of being built.

  • Management Plan John Innes Merton Park
    MERTON COUNCIL PUTTING YOU FIRST John Innes (Merton Park) Conservation Area Management Plan A supplement to the John Innes (Merton Park) Conservation Area Appraisal September 2010 www.merton.gov.uk CONTENTS: 1. Introduction 2. Implications of conservation area designation 3. Special architectural and historic interest 4. Challenges faced in the conservation area 5. Management Proposals APPENDICES: 1. The Action Plan 2. References London Borough of Merton 2 Management Plan: John Innes (Merton Park) Conservation Area 1.0 INTRODUCTION Background to the Conservation Area Management Plan 1.1 This Management Plan has been prepared as a supplement to the Character Appraisal for the John Innes (Merton Park) Conservation Area (2006). 1.2 The duty to designate conservation areas was introduced in the Civic Amenities Act 1967. Designation of the John Innes (Merton Park) Conservation Area in the following year was, therefore, a rapid response to the new provision that immediately recognised the significance of the area. The John Innes (Wilton Crescent) Conservation Area followed in 1984. The two areas are contiguous and there is much that unites them through the John Innes connection, which is why his name appears in their formal titles. More generally, however, the two areas are known as the Merton Park and the Wilton Crescent Conservation Areas. 1.3 While there are planning measures relating specifically to conservation areas (see section 3 below), their effectiveness depends upon the way in which the designated areas are managed. This is not simply a matter of controls being exercised by the Borough Council, there are incentives too, and significant contributions to be made by local businesses, residents and community groups.
