Bedfordshire and Luton Joint Local Access Forum in March 2010 Borough of Bedford Local Access Forum All Local Authorities and National Park Authorities are required under the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 (‘CRoW Act’) to establish a Local Access Forum to provide strategic advice on ‘the improvement of public access to land in that area for the purposes of open-air recreation and the enjoyment of the area, and as to such other matters as may be prescribed’. Bedford Borough Council set up a Local Access Forum for the Borough following the winding up of the Bedfordshire and Luton Joint Local Access Forum In March 2010. This Forum is known as the ‘Borough of Bedford Local Access Forum’ and it began meeting in April 2010. Locally our Forum aims ‘To provide guidance and contribute towards improving opportunities to enjoy the Borough of Bedford’s countryside and open spaces and to improve the management of outdoor access throughout the Borough.’ And works to:- • Promote the appropriate use of opportunities to enjoy the countryside, including appropriate use by people using cycles and walking with dogs. • Advise upon the appropriate management and maintenance of access, balancing the provision of access against the needs of biodiversity, wildlife management and of land owners and managers. • Advise on developing additional opportunities for everyone to enjoy the rights of way and access network, in particular for those with disabilities. • Ensure that the necessary resources are available to fulfil Forum aims and to deliver agreed improvements. The membership of this group is balanced between different interests in the countryside which includes countryside users, land managers or owners plus local interest groups. Forum members need to recognise the validity of the views of others, be independent of the views of any particular organisation and to seek consensus on their advice given in meetings. The members provide well-argued, unbiased advice and the CRoW Act requires Councils and the Natural England to take this advice seriously. The Forum consists of up to 12 local volunteers recruited from across the Borough who have a broad range of skills and life experiences with a genuine interest in all sorts of countryside matters. They serve for up to three years and attend a minimum of four and a maximum of six meetings each year at various locations around the Borough for which expenses are available. There is training for members to ensure we have an effective Access Forum. In addition to members of the Forum, member of the public and other observers may attend meetings and can comment but cannot vote; these can include officers from the authorities and Natural England, who are overseeing Local Access Forums across the country. How to get involved • Volunteer, apply to join the Forum when vacancies arise • Come along to a Forum meeting, ask a question and find out what is going on • Visit the web site http://www.bedford.gov.uk/ for more information on meetings and download agendas, minutes, reports and other papers • Find out who the Forum members are and talk to them about countryside recreation and access matters Contact us Borough of Bedford Local Access Forum Phill Fox Outdoor Access Development Officer Outdoor Access and Rights of Way Team Borough Hall Cauldwell Street Bedford MK42 9AP Telephone 01234 276070 E-mail [email protected] .

  • Arms and the (Tax-)Man: the Use and Taxation of Armorial Bearings in Britain, 1798–1944
    Arms and the (tax-)man: The use and taxation of armorial bearings in Britain, 1798–1944. Philip Daniel Allfrey BA, BSc, MSc(Hons), DPhil. Dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MLitt in Family and Local History at the University of Dundee. October 2016 Abstract From 1798 to 1944 the display of coats of arms in Great Britain was taxed. Since there were major changes to the role of heraldry in society in the same period, it is surprising that the records of the tax have gone unstudied. This dissertation evaluates whether the records of the tax can say something useful about heraldry in this period. The surviving records include information about individual taxpayers, statistics at national and local levels, and administrative papers. To properly interpret these records, it was necessary to develop a detailed understanding of the workings of the tax; the last history of the tax was published in 1885 and did not discuss in detail how the tax was collected. A preliminary analysis of the records of the armorial bearings tax leads to five conclusions: the financial or social elite were more likely to pay the tax; the people who paid the tax were concentrated in fashionable areas; there were differences between the types of people who paid the tax in rural and urban areas; women and clergy were present in greater numbers than one might expect; and the number of taxpayers grew rapidly in the middle of the nineteenth century, but dropped off after 1914. However, several questions have to be answered before

  • Improving Health and Wellbeing in Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes
    Improving health and wellbeing in Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes A resources pack for the local health and care system July 2019 Intro This Resources Pack is one of a series produced for all those working in and with local health and care systems across England. It was commissioned by Age UK on behalf of the VCSE Health and Wellbeing Alliance and Healthwatch following the January 2019 publication of the NHS Long Term Plan. The Resources Pack brings together a range of information and data to build a shared understanding about the local population and the communities in which they live, the wider local context affecting health and wellbeing, and specific aspects related to the delivery of local health and care services. It is intended to be read as a standalone document, but please feel free to use any or all of the material within the pack in your own way, for your own purposes. This includes on websites, media (social or otherwise), in presentations, research documents or other publications. All we ask is that you acknowledge the source. This pack While it is framed within the context of the NHS Long Term Plan the intended audience for this pack is broader than the NHS. We hope this pack will be useful to all those working with people with health or care needs in the Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes area. We would like to encourage you to share this Resources Pack with anyone you think might find it useful – whether they are an NHS or other public sector manager or commissioner, health and social care professional or clinician, social worker, charity, social enterprise, business, special interest or community group, carer, family, friend, neighbour or colleague.

  • Initial Proposals for New Parliamentary Constituency Boundaries in The
    APPENDIX A 3 Initial proposals for the Eastern region 18 The Eastern region comprises the counties of Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire, Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk. These counties are covered by a mixture of district councils, county councils and unitary authorities. 19 The region currently has 58 constituencies. In this review the region has been allocated 57 constituencies, a reduction of one. Of the 58 existing constituencies only 20 have electorates within 5% of the electoral quota (within the range of 71,031 to 78,507 registered electors). In addition, the electorates of 27 constituencies currently fall below the lower 5% limit, while the electorates of 11 constituencies fall above the upper limit. 20 In seeking to produce initial proposals for the region whereby 57 whole constituencies would have an electorate within 5% of the electoral quota, we first considered whether local authority areas could usefully be grouped into sub- regions. Our approach when grouping local authority areas together in sub- regions was based on trying to respect county boundaries wherever possible and on achieving (where we could) obvious practical groupings such as those dictated in some part by the geography of an area. 21 Nevertheless, our division of the Eastern region into sub-regions is a purely practical approach. Respondents to our consultation are welcome to make counter- proposals based on other groupings of counties and unitary authorities, if the statutory factors can be better reflected in those counter-proposals. Initial proposals for new Parliamentary constituency boundaries in the Eastern region 11 24 We noted that Essex and Bedfordshire both have electorates that come close or very close to allowing a whole number of constituencies to be allocated (see below).
