It published its draft recommendations in October 1996 and undertook a nine-week period of consultation. The Commission has now formulated its final recommendations in the light of consultation. It has, in some areas, confirmed its draft recommendations, although it has modified some of its initial warding proposals in the light of further evidence. This report sets out the Commission’s final recommendations for changes to electoral arrangements in the area. The Commission is therefore recommending to you that Tynedale should be served by 52 councillors representing 31 wards, and that some changes should be made to ward boundaries in order to improve electoral equality, having regard to the Commission’s statutory criteria. It is recommended that the whole Council should continue to be elected together every four years. I would like to thank members and officers of the District Council and other local people who have contributed to the review. Their co-operation and assistance have been very much appreciated by Commissioners and staff.

    Northumberland Archives Accessions July – Dec. 2010 Each year we receive several hundred new accessions (deposits of records or artefacts). These can range in size from a single item, for example, a photograph, through to several hundred boxes of records. As we accept records into our custody we create an accession record. The information that we record includes a brief description of the item, covering dates, details of the provenance of the item and the status of the deposit, in other words, whether it is a purchase, deposit (long term loan) or a gift. The vast majority of records are deposited with us and remain the property of the depositor and their heirs. We regularly produce a list of the accessions received over a six month period. This is generated from our electronic collections management system and provides brief details of the deposit. If you would like further information about the deposit you should consult our electronic catalogue or speak with a member of staff who will be pleased to advise. The purpose of the list is to allow users to become more aware of new deposits of material. Not all of the items that are referred to on the list will be available for public consultation. Some may be subject to a closure period because of confidential content. Others may not yet be catalogued and therefore cannot be produced.
