Dear Members of Parliament, We Are a Group of Farmers Calling on Mps To

THE GREEN HOUSE, 244-254 CAMBRIDGE HEATH ROAD, LONDON E2 9DA Tel: 020-3559-6777 E-mail: [email protected] Website: www.sustainweb.org Date: 3rd November 2020 Dear Members of Parliament, We are a group of farmers calling on MPs to enshrine our environment, animal welfare and food standards that we are proud to work to, in the Agriculture Bill. Various trade and legal experts have said it is possible to follow international trade laws and restrict low- quality imports. The government should explore this route. We also know that farmers in developing nations already trade with us on our terms and that high standards are good for all parties involved. We should not sign trade deals that encourage a race to the bottom for farmers anywhere. Importing low-quality agri-food products presents the prospect of pushing British farmers over the cliff-edge and further degrading the environment. Neither we nor the public want this, as repeated surveys and petitions have shown. By enshrining standards into law, MPs will be providing the bedrock from which British farmers and food producers can build a more sustainable and thriving future. Surely this is something that you want to champion.

Local Government Review in the Derwentside District Council Area, County Durham
Local Government Review in the Derwentside District Council Area, County Durham Research Study Conducted for The Boundary Committee for England April 2004 Contents Introduction 3 Summary of Key Findings 5 Methodology 7 Definitions of Social Grade and Area 11 Topline Findings (Marked-up Questionnaire) 13 Introduction This summary report presents the key findings of research conducted by the MORI Social Research Institute on behalf of The Boundary Committee for England in the Derwentside District Council area, County Durham. The aim of the research was to establish residents’ views about alternative patterns of unitary local government. Background to the Research In May 2003, the Government announced that a referendum would take place in autumn 2004 in the North East, North West and Yorkshire and the Humber regions on whether there should be elected regional assemblies. The Government indicated that, where a regional assembly is set up, the current two-tier structure of local government - district, borough or city councils (called in this report ‘districts’) and county councils - should be replaced by a single tier of ‘unitary’ local authorities. In June 2003, the Government directed The Boundary Committee for England (‘the Committee’) to undertake an independent review of local government in two-tier areas in the three regions, with a view to recommending possible unitary structures to be put before affected local people in a referendum at a later date. MORI was commissioned by COI Communications, on behalf of the Committee, to help it gauge local opinion. The research was in two stages. First, in summer 2003, MORI researched local residents’ views about local government and how they identify with their local community.

Analysis of 2008 CPA the Scale of Things
Analysis of 2008 CPA The Scale of Things Councillor Newton Wood Chair Overview and Scrutiny 23 JULY 2008 1 FOREWORD The contents of this report have the approval of the Overview and Scrutiny Coordinating Group for presentation to the full Overview and Scrutiny Committee meeting for their consideration on Wednesday 23 rd July 2008. It is important that this report identifies, for officers, members and the community, the exact position Teesdale is in, that is in relation to the scale of performance within our own county, County Durham and in the bigger picture that is in the country as a whole. Without being aware of where we are, we are unlikely to know where we are going! Unitary status is on the horizon. Durham County Council is a 4 star authority and has compared itself to other single tier councils in the country. Beyond doubt, with such expertise, acknowledged skills and professionalism the new authority will serve to compliment and improve upon the quality of services for the Teesdale community. However, as many weaknesses have been identified by the 2008 CPA inspection, our position in relation to the rest of the country has already been determined by The Audit Commission. This report highlights:- • Where we are at this point in time • Areas which need attention • Those weaknesses which can be handed over to county methods and procedures. • Some areas which need urgent attention by Teesdale District Council • The new county councillors representing Teesdale will now, hopefully, be aware of where we are in the scale of things and the work they have ahead of them to bring us in line with our fellow districts in County Durham.
