  • The Evaluation of Bedfordshire Burial Registration, L538-L851
    The evaluation of Bedfordshire burial registration, L538-L851 Peter Razzell, Christine Spence and Matthew Woollard Abstract This article is based mainly on a digital transcript of burials for 126 Bedfordshire parishes 7538-7851, and a county index of wills for the same period. The comparison of probate with burial register data indicated that there uas little long-term change oaer time in burial tmder-registratiott, with between 21 and 27 per cent of utill entries missing in the registers. There was also little aariation between parishes of dffirent population sizes, suggesting that burial tmder-registratiot'L was predominantly a random process linked to clerical negligence. A comparison of 1841 and L851 census data, linked to the Bedfordshire burial database, reaealed thnt missing burials amongst married couples was 29 per cent, similar to that found in the probatelburial register comparison in the 1840s. These findings on the adequacy of burial registers -saggesf thnt similar resesrch on others counties will be necessary in order to establish reliable conclusions about England's population history. Introduction One of the major issues of historical demography has been the reliability of Anglican parish registers and its relationship to English population history in the period 1538-1850.1 Assumptions about the reliability of registers have had a major effect on the interpretation of population change, and this has had a significant impact on the debate about the nature of population growth during the 'parish register period'. Much of the uncertainty about demographic change is due to the inflation factors used for the correction of missing births and deaths in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.

  • Langford GI Plan, Will Be Used by the Authority in Considering Development Proposals and Assisting with the Creation of Green Infrastructure Assets
    Langford Green Infrastructure Plan April 2011 Langford Parish Council LANGFORD’S GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN Introduction: Langford’s Green Infrastructure (GI) Plan is part of a programme of 19 parish and town GI plans across the area funded by Central Bedfordshire Council and facilitated by Bedfordshire Rural Communities Charity, the Greensand Trust and the Marston Vale Trust. BRCC was asked by Central Bedfordshire Council to assist in the production of the GI plans as it is a charity that works with local communities and landowners to conserve and enhance the landscape, wildlife and history in this area. At the heart of BRCC’s work is the belief that the best results are achieved by empowering local communities, giving them a say in issues that affect them. BRCC has over 50 years experience of community development support and facilitating community consultation; and has nearly 20 years experience of planning and delivering green infrastructure projects in east Bedfordshire. What the plan shows The community green infrastructure plan shows information about the existing environment, and identifies aspiration and proposals from community members to enhance the local green infrastructure. These aspirations and proposals include priorities to maintain existing assets, enhance or restore existing assets, and create new green infrastructure. The information is shown on a map, which identifies both existing green infrastructure, and aspirations for improving the green infrastructure network. The plan as a whole is based on a robust approach to making and implementing a high quality green infrastructure network for the existing and future residents of Langford. It should be acknowledged that not all of the aspirations identified will be delivered, because there are many other influencing factors, such as the views of landowners, existing planning permissions and allocations, potential future land use allocations and the cost of enhancements.

O&H control land allocated for development under Policy MA3 of the Central Bedfordshire (North): Site Allocations Document Plan Document (April 2011) (Site Allocations DPD) and have a promotional agreement in respect of Land South of Wixams, which is subject to an outline planning application (reference CB/17/02575/OUT). This representation relates to the Policy MA3 land. Separate submissions – made jointly with Old Road Securities – address Land South of Wixams. Terminology Land allocated under adopted Policy MA3 is referred to in the Site Allocations DPD as ‘Land south of Wixams’. The land south of MA3 was proposed to be allocated under the (now withdrawn) Central Bedfordshire Development Strategy and was identified as draft Policy 63. The emerging Local Plan now uses the name ‘Land South of Wixams’ in relation to the draft Policy 63 land. We recommend that a clearer naming convention is utilised for the next stage of plan-making. For the purpose of this representation, we use ‘Policy MA3 land’ to refer to O&H’s landholding immediately south of Wixams.

In particular, NHSPS’s Property Strategy team has been supporting Clinical Commissioning Groups and Sustainability and Transformation Plan groups to look at ways of better using the local health and public estate. This will include identifying opportunities to reconfigure the estate to better meet commissioning needs, as well as opportunities for delivering new homes (and other appropriate land uses) on surplus sites emerging from this process.

    To the Parents & Carers of all children From: Councillor Mark Versallion currently attending schools and Executive Member academies in Dunstable and Houghton Children‟s Services Regis Date: 14 July 2011 Dear Parent/Carer, End of Year Update from your Central Bedfordshire Council political team I would firstly like to take this opportunity to introduce myself, Cllr Angela Barker and Cllr Tony Brown as Central Bedfordshire Council‟s new executive team for Children‟s Services. Together we combine considerable experience, both as councillors and as users of Children‟s Services. I have three children of my own in the school system and both Tony and Angela have older children. We are absolutely committed to the vision of ensuring that every child in our area has the opportunity to flourish and we look forward to working with school staff, governors and parents in fulfilling this ambition. As we approach the end of term, it is a good time to reflect on the busy and exciting year during which we have laid some solid foundations for continuing to improve educational standards for your children who are our pupils in Central Bedfordshire. This letter updates you, our parents and carers, on what your children and schools have achieved and sets out our plans for the future following our review of school places in your area. Review of schools Our review of schools, between May 2010 - May 2011, in the Dunstable and Houghton Regis area concluded with a decision to encourage schools to work closer together within the current system of lower, middle and upper schools and also within the changing environment of academies and federations.
