Kirklees Metropolitan Council Election Results 1973-2012 Kirklees Metropolitan Council Election Results 1973-2012 Colin Rallings and Michael Thrasher The Elections Centre Plymouth University The information contained in this report has been obtained from a number of sources. Election results from the immediate post-reorganisation period were painstakingly collected by Alan Willis largely, although not exclusively, from local newspaper reports. From the mid- 1980s onwards the results have been obtained from each local authority by the Elections Centre. The data are stored in a database designed by Lawrence Ware and maintained by Brian Cheal and others at Plymouth University. Despite our best efforts some information remains elusive whilst we accept that some errors are likely to remain. Notice of any mistakes should be sent to [email protected]. The results sequence can be kept up to date by purchasing copies of the annual Local Elections Handbook, details of which can be obtained by contacting the email address above. Front cover: the graph shows the distribution of percentage vote shares over the period covered by the results. The lines reflect the colours traditionally used by the three main parties. The grey line is the share obtained by Independent candidates while the purple line groups together the vote shares for all other parties. Rear cover: the top graph shows the percentage share of council seats for the main parties as well as those won by Independents and other parties. The lines take account of any by- election changes (but not those resulting from elected councillors switching party allegiance) as well as the transfers of seats during the main round of local election. The lower graph shows for each main round of local elections the overall percentage turnout (solid line), the percentage of women candidates standing at (dotted line) and the percentage of women among those elected (hashed line).

  • Holme Valley Neighbourhood Plan
    Holme Valley Neighbourhood Plan Information and display materials for the Public Drop-in sessions, June 2017 These slides have been prepared to form the basis of the displays at the Neighbourhood Plan Drop-in sessions held across the Valley during June: These will be held between 1pm and 9pm on: • June 7th at Hade Edge Band Room, HD9 2DF • June 9th at Holmfirth Civic Hall, HD9 3AS • June 13th at St David’s Parish Hall, Holmbridge, HD9 2NE • June 15th at Hepworth Village Hall, HD9 1TE • June 19th at St Mary’s Parish Rooms, Honley, HD9 6AH • June 23rd at Wooldale Community Centre, HD9 1XZ The slides include the 14 questions we are asking as a questionnaire which is available from our website: https://www.holmevalleyparishcouncil.gov.uk/np/ The questionnaire itself is linked from the website so to access directly, look at: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/HVNHPInitialConsultation The displays include more pictures and maps so where there are no images after a question in this presentation, these are just provided in hard copy at the drop-in sessions. However, all the key information is contained within this document so it can be read in isolation by those unable to attend the drop-in sessions. What is a Neighbourhood Plan? Neighbourhood Plans are a right for communities to shape development in their areas and they were introduced by the Localism Act in 2011. The Neighbourhood Plan will become a planning document which will control new building and land use in the valley for the next 15 years. How does it relate to the Kirklees Local Plan? The Neighbourhood Plan is different from the Local Plan and produced by the Holme Valley Parish Council, not Kirklees.

  • Honley High School – About Us
    Honley High School – About Us At Honley High School we have a long and proud tradition of academic excellence, a strength on which we are continually trying to build. Although the school is quite large (we have over 1280 students) we like to feel that we get to know all our students, as individuals, and are able to support them through what we all acknowledge, is a crucial time in their lives. Central to everything we are working to achieve is the school vision. We are striving to create an exceptional school where all members of the school community: - Are proud of the school, respectful of each other, socially responsible, and believe in and promote our values - Work within an atmosphere of mutual support, respect and collaboration - Are committed to individual and collective success and place no ceiling on aspiration; - Celebrate effort as well as achievement, take risks and learn from mistakes, recognising the intrinsic value of learning - Place the needs of the child at the centre of learning, nurture their creativity in overcoming the challenges of today and develop their resilience to address the uncertainties of tomorrow The exceptional school that we will create will be founded upon the following beliefs: - We believe in fairness, equity and inclusion: we value every child for who they are and show compassion and understanding in our dealings with one another - We strive for excellence in everything we do: we have high aspirations for everyone and believe that children and adults thrive in a climate of praise, celebration and recognition. We always measure ourselves against the highest standards.

  • May 2021 FOI 2387-21 Drink Spiking
    Our ref: 2387/21 Figures for incidents of drink spiking in your region over the last 5 years (year by year) I would appreciate it if the figures can be broken down to the nearest city/town. Can you also tell me the number of prosecutions there have been for the above offences and how many of those resulted in a conviction? Please see the attached document. West Yorkshire Police receive reports of crimes that have occurred following a victim having their drink spiked, crimes such as rape, sexual assault, violence with or without injury and theft. West Yorkshire Police take all offences seriously and will ensure that all reports are investigated. Specifically for victims of rape and serious sexual offences, depending on when the offence occurred, they would be offered an examination at our Sexual Assault Referral Centre, where forensic samples, including a blood sample for toxicology can be taken, with the victim’s consent, if within the timeframes and guidance from the Faculty for Forensic and Legal Medicine. West Yorkshire Police work with support agencies to ensure that all victims of crime are offered support through the criminal justice process, including specialist support such as from Independent Sexual Violence Advisors.

  • Huddersfield (Town Centre and University) to Holmfirth (Town Centre)
    Holmfirth Transitional Town Proposed Cycle Route – Huddersfield (town centre and university) to Holmfirth (town centre). The proposal seeks to create, as far as possible, an off road cycle path between the town centres of Huddersfield and Holmfirth, together with link paths from other significant Holme Valley settlements, notably Honley, Brockholes, Netherthong, New Mill and Wooldale. In addition to these settlements there are a number of other significant workplace and school destinations linked to or on the proposed route, notably Thongsbridge, Armitage Bridge, Lockwood, Folly Hall, Kirklees College, and Honley and Holmfirth High Schools Where an off road path is not considered to be achievable, the proposed route utilises the road network, with appropriate amendments and improvements to create a safe cycling environment. The existing and proposed routes are described below in clearly identifiable sections. Existing routes include some off road paths which are usable and used currently for cycling, and which will become part of the complete route, subject to any necessary improvements. Where off road paths connect to the road network, and for on road elements of the route, improvements to create a safe cycling environment are proposed. The route sections 1. Huddersfield town centre, within the ring road 2. Ring Road to Lockwood 3. Lockwood to Berry Brow 4. Berry Brow to Honley 5. Honley to Thongsbridge 6. Thongsbridge to Holmfirth 1. Huddersfield town centre – within the ring road The town centre is generally regarded as a relatively safe cycling environment. Traffic levels have been reduced by the introduction of bus gates, and speeds are relatively low. Some cycling infrastructure has been provided and there are some signed routes and safe ring road crossings, however provision is piecemeal and further improvements are required.
