LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND iii iv LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND WHAT IS THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND? The Local Government Commission for England is an independent body set up by Parliament. Our task is to review and make recommendations to the Government on whether there should be changes to local authorities’ electoral arrangements. Members of the Commission are: Professor Malcolm Grant (Chairman) Professor Michael Clarke CBE (Deputy Chairman) Peter Brokenshire Kru Desai Pamela Gordon Robin Gray Robert Hughes CBE Barbara Stephens (Chief Executive) We are required by law to review the electoral arrangements of every principal local authority in England. Our aim is to ensure that the number of electors represented by each councillor in an area is as nearly as possible the same, taking into account local circumstances. We can recommend changes to ward boundaries, the number of councillors, ward names and the frequency of elections. We can also recommend changes to the electoral arrangements of parish councils. This report sets out the Commission’s final recommendations on the electoral arrangements for Medway. LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND v vi LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND SUMMARY We began a review of Medway’s electoral arrangements on 28 November 2000. We published our draft recommendations for electoral arrangements on 19 June 2001, after which we undertook an eight-week period of consultation. • This report summarises the representations we received during consultation on our draft recommendations, and contains our final recommendations to the Secretary of State. We found that the existing arrangements provide unequal representation of electors in Medway: • in seven of the 35 wards the number of electors represented by each councillor varies by more than 10 per cent from the average for the district; • by 2005 electoral equality is expected to worsen, with the number of electors per councillor forecast to vary by more than 10 per cent from the average in 13 wards and by more than 20 per cent in two wards. Our main final recommendations for future electoral arrangements (see Tables 1 and 2 and paragraphs 143–144) are that: • Medway Council should have 55 councillors, 25 fewer than at present; • there should be 22 wards, instead of 35 as at present; • the boundaries of 34 of the existing wards should be modified, resulting in a net reduction of 13, and one ward should retain its existing boundaries; • whole-council elections should continue to take place every four years. These recommendations seek to ensure that the number of electors represented by each district councillor is as nearly as possible the same, bearing in mind local circumstances. • In 19 of the proposed 22 wards the number of electors per councillor would vary by no more than 10 per cent from the district average. • This improved level of electoral equality is forecast to continue, with the number of electors per councillor in only one ward, Cuxton & Halling, expected to vary by more than 10 per cent from the average for the district in 2005. Recommendations are also made for changes to parish council electoral arrangements which provide for: • revised warding arrangements for the parishes of Frindsbury Extra and Hoo St Werburgh. LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND vii All further correspondence on these final recommendations and the matters discussed in this report should be addressed to the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions, who will not make an Order implementing them before 15 January 2002: The Secretary of State Department for Transport, Local Government and the Regions Democracy and Local Leadership Division Eland House Bressenden Place London SW1E 5DU viii LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND Table 1: Final Recommendations: Summary Ward name Number of Constituent areas Map councillors reference 1 Chatham Central 3 Town ward (part); Holcombe ward Large map 2 Cuxton & Halling 1 Unchanged – the parishes of Cuxton and Halling Large map and Map 2 3 Gillingham North 3 Beechings ward (part); Brompton ward (part); Gillingham Large map North ward; Medway ward (part) 4 Gillingham South 3 Brompton ward (part); Gillingham South ward (part); Large map Priestfield ward (part) 5 Hempstead & 2 Hempstead & Wigmore ward (part); Watling Street ward Large map Wigmore (part) 6 Lordswood & 2 Hempstead & Wigmore ward (part); Lordswood ward; Large map Capstone North Dane ward (part) 7 Luton & Wayfield 3 Luton ward; North Dane ward (part); Wayfield ward Large map 8 Peninsula 3 Hoo St Werburgh ward (part – the proposed Central parish Large map ward and the existing East parish ward of Hoo St and Map 2 Werburgh parish); All Saints ward (the parishes of All Hallows, High Halstow, Isle of Grain, Saint Mary Hoo and Stoke); Thames Side ward (part – the parish of Cooling) 9 Princes Park 2 North Dane ward (part); Walderslade ward (part) Large map 10 Rainham Central 3 Hempstead & Wigmore ward (part); Rainham Mark ward; Large map St Margaret’s ward (part) 11 Rainham North 2 Riverside ward; Rainham ward (part) Large map 12 Rainham South 3 Parkwood ward; Rainham ward (part); St Margaret’s ward Large map (part) 13 River 2 Brompton ward (part); Gillingham South ward (part); St Large map Margaret’s & Borstal ward (part); Town ward (part) 14 Rochester East 2 Troy Town ward (part); Warren Wood ward (part) Large map 15 Rochester South & 3 Horsted ward; Hook Meadow ward (part); Town ward Large map Horsted (part); Warren Wood ward (part) 16 Rochester West 2 Troy Town ward (part); St Margaret’s & Borstal ward Large map (part); Warren Wood ward (part) 17 Strood North 3 Rede Court ward; Frindsbury ward Large map 18 Strood Rural 3 Frindsbury Extra & Chattenden ward (the parish of Large map Frindsbury Extra and the proposed West parish ward of and Map A1 Hoo St Werburgh parish); Thames Side ward (part – the parish of Cliffe & Cliffe Woods) 19 Strood South 3 Earl ward; Temple Farm ward Large map LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND ix Ward name Number of Constituent areas Map councillors reference 20 Twydall 3 Beechings ward (part); Rainham ward (part); Twydall Large map ward; Watling Street ward (part) 21 Walderslade 2 Hook Meadow ward (part); Walderslade ward (part) Large map 22 Watling 2 Priestfield ward (part); North Dane ward (part); Watling Large map Street ward (part) Notes: 1 Map 2 and the large map in the back of the report illustrate the proposed wards outlined above. 2 We have made a number of minor boundary amendments to ensure that existing ward boundaries adhere to ground detail.

  • Clarion We Reported on the Renewed Interest in an Airport in the Thames Estu- Ary to Replace Heathrow As a Major Hub Airport
    Our Community— Autumn Forward Together Edition 2012 Building on Jubilee Success Despite the rainy weather the Jubilee events in both Cliffe and Cliffe Woods were still a great success. In Cliffe Woods this was the first community event in many years and has inspired the Community Association to organise other events throughout the year and an Annual Summer Fair. (see page 2 for details). In Cliffe the early Jubilee event meant there was no Cliffe Fayre this year, but an extra event is planned for Saturday 27th October at the Buttway and Church—see inside for more details. The success of these events are also down to the support of local vil- L lagers like yourselves. It is this that makes it worthwhile—can you help with future events? Estuary Airport Update In the last edition of the Clarion we reported on the renewed interest in an airport in the Thames Estu- ary to replace Heathrow as a major hub airport. There has been publicity for an island in the Thames (Boris Island) and also at Grain (Foster’s Folly), but less for a proposal that sites the airport between Cliffe and High Halstow. We were promised consultation (again) in the spring, but this was delayed until after the London Mayor- al Elections in May. They were then planned for the summer but postponed to avoid the Olympics, Alt- hough many people expected they would finally get underway in the Autumn there has been a further delay so that the conclusions are not published until after the 2015 General (and Local) Elections., so we Clarion will be watching out for ‘calls for evidence’ and ‘scoping’ reports which often start the process.

  • St Barnabas St Marys Profiles
    WELCOME TO THE PARISHES OF ST BARNABAS & ST MARY MAGDALENE, GILLINGHAM Contents Welcome & overview Page 2 St Barnabas parish profile Page 5 St Mary’s parish profile Page 19 1 WELCOME & OVERVIEW The Bishop of Rochester is seeking to appoint a Priest-in-Charge who will serve half time in the parish of St Barnabas and half time in the parish of St Mary Magdalene, both in Gillingham, Kent. The two parishes are adjacent to one another and cover a total population of approximately 25,000 people. As well as being geographically close together, they are demographically similar, and the two worshipping communities share a similar churchmanship. As well as developing the existing worshipping community life of the two churches, there is significant scope for the right candidate to work creatively across both parishes in a variety of areas, including discipleship; youth, children and schools work; ministry among vulnerable communities (such as the homeless); work with those in residential care home settings. St Mary’s parish has a large team of Lay ministers who, along with other members of both congregations, are willing to work across parish boundaries to enable the whole area to flourish. The neighbouring parish of St Augustine’s, Gillingham – another church in a similar tradition – has a full time Priest-in-charge and SSM curate and is also keen to explore working with the parishes of St Barnabas and St Mary’s. A project has recently begun to seek funding for a Community Missioner who would work across all three parishes, as well as the parish of St Mark’s in Gillingham Town Centre.
