The broad purpose of an electoral review is to decide on the appropriate electoral arrangements – the number of councillors, and the names, number and boundaries of wards or divisions – for a specific local authority. We are conducting an electoral review of County Durham to ensure that the unitary authority has appropriate electoral arrangements that reflect its functions and political management structure. The review aims to ensure that the number of voters represented by each councillor is approximately the same. The Boundary Committee for England commenced the review in 2008. On 1 April 2010 the Local Government Boundary Commission for England assumed the functions of the Boundary Committee and it therefore falls to us to complete the review. The review period has been significantly longer than usual as a consequence of uncertainties about the reliability and impact of electoral forecasts following recent changes in legislation. The reasons are explained within this report. This review has been conducted as follows: Stage Stage starts Description Council Size 15 July 2008 Submission of proposals to the Boundary Committee and its analysis and deliberation on council size One 17 March 2009 Submission of proposals on wider electoral arrangements Two 8 June 2009 Boundary Committee’s analysis and deliberation Three 15 September 2009 Publication of initial draft recommendations and consultation on them Four 7 December 2009 Analysis of submissions received Consultation 12 February 2010 Further consultation in particular areas Five 24 May 2011 Publication of further draft recommendations and consultation on them Six 2 August 2011 Analysis of submissions received and formulation of final recommendations Draft recommendations The Commission proposed a council size of 126 members comprising a mixed pattern of single-, two- and three-member divisions. The further draft recommendations were based on the evidence received in the course of previous periods of consultation undertaken throughout the review. The further draft recommendations would provide good levels of electoral equality. 1 Submissions received During Stage Five, we received 218 representations on our further draft recommendations, including a county-wide submission from Durham County Council. Most submissions focused on the further draft electoral arrangements for Bearpark, Chester-le-Street, Crook, Esh Winning, Sacriston, Tow Law and Ushaw Moor. We received smaller numbers of submissions for other areas. All submissions can be viewed on our website at www.lgbce.org.uk Analysis and final recommendations Electorate figures At the start of the review, Durham County Council submitted electorate forecasts for December 2013, projecting an increase in the electorate of approximately 1.6% over the period from 2008 to 2013. Following changes in legislation in 2009, we also need to have regard to a five-year forecast from the date of the publication of the final recommendations. The Council provided projected forecasts, which differed significantly from the original figures provided, particularly in the area of Durham City. As a consequence, in agreement with the Council, the review was put into abeyance until the 2010 canvass had been completed. In early 2011 the Council provided electorate forecasts for 2016, which took into account changes in the student electorate in the centre of Durham City and developments across the county. The electorate is projected to increase by approximately 1% over the period from 2011 to 2016. The Commission is content that the forecasts are the most accurate available at this time and we therefore accept the Council’s latest electorate forecasts as the basis of our final recommendations. General analysis Throughout the review process, the primary consideration has been to achieve good electoral equality, while seeking to reflect community identities and securing effective and convenient local government. Having considered the submissions received during Stage Five, we have moved away from the further draft recommendations in a small number of areas including Crook, Esh Winning, Sacriston and Tow Law. We have made more modest changes in a few additional areas. In all other areas we confirm our further draft recommendations as final. Our final recommendations for Durham are that the Council should have 126 members with 63 mixed-pattern single-, two- and three-member divisions. Only seven divisions will have an electoral variance of greater than 10% by 2016. What happens next? We have now completed our review of electoral arrangements for Durham County Council. The changes we have proposed must be approved by Parliament. A draft Order – the legal document which brings into force our recommendations – will be laid in Parliament. The draft Order will provide for new electoral arrangements for the Council to be implemented at the next elections in 2013. 2 We are grateful to all those organisations and individuals who have contributed to the review through expressing their views and advice. The full report is available to download at www.lgbce.org.uk 3 4 1 Introduction 1 The Local Government Boundary Commission for England is an independent body which conducts electoral reviews of local authority areas. This electoral review is being conducted for Durham County Council following its establishment as a unitary authority in 2009. The Electoral Commission was of the view that an electoral review of County Durham should be undertaken at the earliest opportunity and directed the Boundary Committee to commence a review which began on 15 July 2008. 2 On 1 April 2010, the Local Government Boundary Commission for England assumed the functions of the Boundary Committee and took responsibility for the ongoing review of Durham County Council. 3 We had been scheduled to complete this review in 2010. However, a change in legislation required that we must have regard to an electorate forecast five years from the completion of the review. As a result, revised forecasts were requested from the Council. These revealed significant electoral variances from those used as the basis of the Boundary Committee’s original draft recommendations. With the agreement of the Council, we therefore decided to suspend the review until the completion of the 2010 annual canvass to allow the Council more time to produce further, reliable, forecasts. These have been received and we are now content that these are the best available and should form the basis of our final recommendations. 4 As the revised forecasts necessitated change to a number of divisions across the county, and some time had elapsed since the Boundary Committee published its draft recommendations, we decided to undertake further consultation rather than publishing final recommendations at Stage Five. 5 All submissions received throughout all stages of the review informed our Further draft recommendations on the new electoral arrangements for Durham County Council, which were published on 24 May 2011. We then undertook a further period of consultation which ended on 1 August 2011. What is an electoral review? 6 The main aim of an electoral review is to try to ensure ‘electoral equality’, which means that all councillors in a single authority represent approximately the same number of electors. Our objective is to make recommendations that will improve electoral equality, while also trying to reflect communities in the area and provide for effective and convenient local government. 7 Our three main considerations – equalising the number of electors each councillor represents, reflecting community identity and providing for effective and 1 convenient local government – are set out in legislation and our task is to strike the best balance between them when making our recommendations. Our powers, as well as the guidance we have provided for electoral reviews and further information on the review process, can be found on our website at www.lgbce.org.uk 1 Schedule 2 to the Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Act

  • Geometry of the Butterknowle Fault at Bishop Auckland (County Durham, UK), from Gravity Survey and Structural Inversion
    ESSOAr | https:/doi.org/10.1002/essoar.10501104.1 | CC_BY_NC_ND_4.0 | First posted online: Mon, 11 Nov 2019 01:27:37 | This content has not been peer reviewed. Geometry of the Butterknowle Fault at Bishop Auckland (County Durham, UK), from gravity survey and structural inversion Rob Westaway 1,*, Sean M. Watson 1, Aaron Williams 1, Tom L. Harley 2, and Richard Middlemiss 3 1 James Watt School of Engineering, University of Glasgow, James Watt (South) Building, Glasgow G12 8QQ, UK. 2 WSP, 70 Chancery Lane, London WC2A 1AF, UK. 3 School of Physics, University of Glasgow, Kelvin Building, Glasgow G12 8QQ, UK. * Correspondence: [email protected]; Abstract: The Butterknowle Fault is a major normal fault of Dinantian age in northern England, bounding the Stainmore Basin and the Alston Block. This fault zone has been proposed as a source of deep geothermal energy; to facilitate the design of a geothermal project in the town of Bishop Auckland further investigation of its geometry was necessary and led to the present study. We show using three-dimensional modelling of a dense local gravity survey, combined with structural inversion, that this fault has a ramp-flat-ramp geometry, ~250 m of latest Carboniferous / Early Permian downthrow having occurred on a fault surface that is not a planar updip continuation of that which had accommodated the many kilometres of Dinantian extension. The gravity survey also reveals relatively low-density sediments in the hanging-wall of the Dinantian fault, interpreted as porous alluvial fan deposits, indicating that a favourable geothermal target indeed exists in the area.

  • Spennymoor Area Action Partnership Action Area
    Spennymoor Area Action Partnership Area Annual Review 2013/14 Spennymoor AAP – Annual Review 2013/14 Foreword from Alan Smith, Outgoing Spennymoor AAP Chair I would like to thank everyone associated with the Spennymoor Area Action Partnership for contributing to another excellent year in moving forward and trying to make a real difference in the AAP area. Having been given a clear steer on the need to continue with the key priorities of Children & Young People and Employment and Job Prospects, there has been a real drive and energy to succeed. The major occasion of our year, held in November, was the ‘Your Money, Your Area, Your Views’ event. The event provided the opportunity for members of our communities to vote on projects they wanted to receive funding, to vote on the AAP priorities for the 2014/15 financial year and to have their say on the future budget for Durham County Council (DCC). Overall the event was a great success with over 900 people attending on the day. The event also showed how committed the people of our area are to supporting and improving the community they live and work in. Taking community cohesion one step further, it was great to see that the community engagement processes that have been put in place by DCC (AAPs being pivotal in this) were a key element of the LGC Council of The Year award given to DCC recently. A major role in DCC achieving this accolade was a full day of assessment by an independent panel and for me it was a real boost that our partnership was selected to be part of this judging day.

  • Healeyfield Parish News Autumn 2020
    Autumn 2020 Inside this issue Parish Council News Lockdown Heros Scarecrow winners 75 VE Day As the year nears it's end we thought that we would give you an update on what Healeyfield Parish Council have been up to in the Parish. Although it has been a very difficult year with the COVID-19 crisis, the Parish Council have been able to fulfil most of our usual services to the villages of Castleside and Rowley. Here is a roundup of what we have been doing. The flower tubs throughout the village have been fully planted and cared for. The grass verges have been cut and strimmed twice as usual, albeit a little bit later than normal. The benches throughout the Parish are currently undergoing a repair or replace program, this is continuing. The defibrillator, located at the side of the village hall, was provided by the Parish Council and it is checked weekly by members to ensure that it is in working order. Our usual annual litter pick unfortunately had to be cancelled due to lockdown restrictions, however we plan to hold one as soon as we are able. Although the Annual Autumn Festival also had to be cancelled, we still held our scarecrow competition. This provided a bit of fun not only for the entrants but also for the people walking around having a look at them. The worthy winners are now in receipt of the Scarecrow Cup. The Parish Council are the trustees of the Parish Wood, and members regularly walk through the woods to check everything is as it should be, ensuring that any necessary repairs to stiles and bridges are carried out in a timely manner.

  • The First 75 Years!
    The first 75 years! Photographs: (above) the lost village of Burnhope in upper Weardale as it appeared in the 1930s when Durham Rural Community Council was formed, and (right) the scene today, with the village long since submerged beneath the waters of Burnhope Reservoir. A Community News supplement 75 years of history and a promise for the future Way back in 1935, during the depression years when 30% of the county’s workforce was unemployed ‘The National Council for Social Service’ (the Government agency of the day) recognised a need for social support for the unemployed. This led to the creation of ‘The Community Service Council for Durham County’ (now DRCC). Pictured below is a 1975 staff photograph taken at Hallgarth House in Durham, to mark the 40th anniversary of the organisation. Miss Ivy Fox takes centre stage. Miss Fox, who gave 40 years of service, remains our longest ever serving member of staff. That kind of dedication shines today as projects may come and go but it’s our people who make the difference - often going the extra mile to deliver more than is expected. 1935 - ’Community Service Over the years we have proven ourselves to be flexible, adaptable and Council for Durham County responsive and pride ourselves in having responded to the needs and problems Limited’ founded of the time – through the good times and, as now, full circle to a time when (forerunner of DRCC) the going gets a bit tough. 1936 - Abdication of King Through these pages we hope to give a glimpse of our history - the work done, Edward VIII the experience gained, the appreciation of communities where we have worked.
