Higher Kinnerton Village Plan 2018 - 2030 Foreword HIGHER KINNERTON VILLAGE PLAN 2018 - 2030 FOREWORD FOREWORD In early 2018, Higher Kinnerton Community Council was encouraged to consider developing a Village Plan by Flintshire County Council’s planning officers. The Village Plan would be intended to be used to inform and influence the Flintshire Local Development Plan currently under development. The plan would also enable current and future Community Council members and the community to provide the facilities and infrastructure Higher Kinnerton residents indicated they desire. From the initial open meeting and setting up of a steering group, to the survey and meetings that have subsequently taken place, residents have shown an ongoing desire to be involved. Many of them have come forward and offered help and suggestions to deliver this plan. Over the coming years we face many challenges in the form of County Councils cutting back on traditional services to local communities, and changes to the role Town and Community Councils will be expected to perform. Coupled with all this is a growing village population as Higher Kinnerton is seen as a desirable place to live. We believe this plan will put us in a strong position to help meet future challenges. The Community Council would like to congratulate members of the steering group (made up of village residents and members of the Community Council) and other members of the community who have supported the process of this plan. The hard work and dedication they have shown in delivering the plan is something the community can rightly be proud of. We are fortunate enough to live in a beautiful rural village where people care about their community and everyone who lives here. We also know that for this to continue, the community must be ready to adapt and change.

An important principle for our work is to aim to achieve a better democratic balance within each council area so that each vote cast in an election is, so far as reasonably practicable, of the same weight as all others in the council area. The achievement of this aim, along with other measures, would be conducive to effective and convenient local government. At the beginning of this review process we have found some considerable differences between the numbers of voters to councillors not only between council areas in Wales, but also within council areas themselves. The Commission is constrained by a number of things in the way we undertake our work: • The basic “building blocks” for electoral divisions are the community areas into which Wales is divided.

He referred to the range and quality of equipment on those sites, copies of photographs of which had been circulated for Members information. The Clerk said that the Working Group had agreed that Mr Richard Roberts of Flintshire County Council’s Leisure Services Department should liaise with play equipment suppliers and produce three or four scheme concepts for both Gladstone Playing Fields and Yowley Road Playing Fields for subsequent consultation with young people. Councillor Brown commented on the usefulness of the visits and the quality of equipment viewed, which she looked forward to being introduced to Gladstone Playing Fields and Yowley Road Playing Field. She said however she was mindful that other play sites should also have some improvement noting that Circular Drive Play Area was likely to be improved in the near future arising from the Section 106 agreement tied to the housing development on land off Mold Road, Ewloe.

    Alyn & Deeside Welsh District Council Elections Results 1973-1991 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.
