The aim of the research was to establish residents’ views about alternative patterns of unitary local government. Background to the Research In May 2003, the Government announced that a referendum would take place in autumn 2004 in the North East, North West and Yorkshire and the Humber regions on whether there should be elected regional assemblies. The Government indicated that, where a regional assembly is set up, the current two-tier structure of local government - district, borough or city councils (called in this report ‘districts’) and county councils - should be replaced by a single tier of ‘unitary’ local authorities. In June 2003, the Government directed The Boundary Committee for England (‘the Committee’) to undertake an independent review of local government in two-tier areas in the three regions, with a view to recommending possible unitary structures to be put before affected local people in a referendum at a later date. MORI was commissioned by COI Communications, on behalf of the Committee, to help it gauge local opinion. The research was in two stages. First, in summer 2003, MORI researched local residents’ views about local government and how they identify with their local community. These findings can be found at the Committee’s web site (www.boundarycommittee.org.uk) and MORI’s web site (www.mori.com). The findings were taken into account by the Committee in formulating its draft recommendations for consultation. The second part of the research, which took place in Stage Three of the Committee’s review, has been primarily concerned with residents’ reactions to the Committee’s preliminary proposals and the reasons for local people’s preferences. It is with the second part of the research that this report is concerned. Coverage of Main Research MORI undertook research in all 44 two-tier districts in the North East, North West and Yorkshire and the Humber regions. Within each district, at least 300 face-to-face interviews were carried out in-home, between 1 December 2003 and 23 February 2004. A total of 13,676 interviews took place across the three regions. 5 Additional Interviews In addition to the main research described above, the Committee also asked MORI to undertake further research where it considered it needed further evidence. This related to its reviews in Cheshire, Lancashire and North Yorkshire. First, in districts which the Committee identified may be split in the event of local government reorganisation, it asked MORI to interview additional respondents in order to gauge in more detail their views about options which would directly affect them. The districts were Selby (North Yorkshire), Crewe & Nantwich and Vale Royal (Cheshire), and Fylde, Rossendale, West Lancashire and Wyre (Lancashire). A total of some 2,000 additional interviews took place across these areas. This report is concerned with the surveys of residents in Crewe & Nantwich Borough Council area, Cheshire, and covers both the main research and the additional interviews. Further details of the approach taken in Crewe & Nantwich is set out later in this Introduction. In addition, MORI was asked to interview a representative sample of some 300 residents in each of four single-tier councils adjacent to review areas - Sefton, Wigan, Wirral and York. Style Protocols in this Report We have adopted a number of protocols throughout this report: • ‘Crewe & Nantwich’ refers to the Borough Council area of that name; the eastern part of the area is described as the ‘Crewe area’ and the western part as the ‘Nantwich area’. • Two-tier borough, city or district council areas are referred to as ‘districts’. • The Boundary Committee for England is referred to as ‘the Committee’. • CC refers to ‘County Council’, BC to ‘Borough Council’ and DC to ‘District Council’. • An asterisk in a table or chart refers to a percentage between zero and 0.5. • Definitions of ‘social grade’, and ‘urban’ and ‘rural’ areas, are provided in Appendix 3. • ‘Review’ refers to the Committee’s review of local government. • Some figures in charts and tables, and in the marked-up questionnaires at Appendix 4, may not add up to 100%. Occasionally figures may also vary by 1%. In both cases, this is due to rounding. The definitive figures may be found in the computer tabulations provided under separate cover. • Base sizes have been given throughout this report. Where the base is under 50, considerable caution should be applied when making any inferences. 6 BCFE map to be inserted The Cheshire County Council Area The Cheshire 7 This Report This report presents MORI’s findings in the Crewe & Nantwich Borough Council area, Cheshire (in the North West region). The Crewe & Nantwich research had two components, each of which took place in-home, face to face, between 1 December 2003 and 23 February 2004. First, as part of the main research, 304 interviews took place across the borough. Second, MORI undertook additional interviews in order to ensure that around 300 interviews took place in each side of the boundary which would split the borough under one of the Committee’s preliminary proposals (Option B). We have called these areas the ‘Crewe area’ and the ‘Nantwich area’. The Crewe area comprises the Borough Council wards of Alexandra, Coppenhall, Delamere, Englesea, Grosvenor, Haslington, Maw Green, Shavington, St. Barnabas, St John’s, St. Mary’s, Valley, Waldron, Wells Green, Willaston and Wisaston Green, and the parishes of Minshull Vernon and Leighton. The Nantwich area comprises the Borough Council wards of Acton, Audlem, Barony Weaver, Birchin, Bunbury, Leighton, Peckforton, Wellington and Wybunbury, and the parishes of Aston Juxta, Church Minshull, Cholmondeston, Poole and Worleston. As part of the main survey, MORI undertook 187 interviews in the Crewe area and 106 interviews in the Nantwich area. In a separate additional survey, MORI interviewed a further 107 and 224 residents respectively. In total, therefore, MORI interviewed 294 residents in the Crewe area and 330 residents in the Nantwich area. A further 11 interviews were included in MORI’s borough-wide data, making the total number shown in the appended topline 304. In this report, we have often reported separately on the data from Crewe & Nantwich as a whole, the Crewe area, and the Nantwich area. When interpreting the data, it is important to bear in mind that the additional interviews were organised as a separate survey from the main research, that the two sub-district areas may have different demographic profiles, and that sampling tolerances apply to both surveys (as set out in the Methodology appended to this report). In each case, quotas were set by age, gender and work status using 2001 Census data. Data have been weighted back to the known demographic profile of each area by age, gender and work status. The methodology applied in this research, along with showcards showing the options put forward for consultation and three marked-up questionnaires for the Crewe & Nantwich Borough Council area, the Crewe area and the Nantwich area, are set out in the appendices to this report. The methodology in Appendix 2 includes an explanation of statistical reliability. It is unlikely that aggregated data from the Crewe area and the Nantwich area will always precisely reflect that found in the borough as a whole. This is because of sampling tolerances explained in the Methodology. This does not detract from the broad findings which emerge from this research. Full computer tabulations have been provided separately. County-wide reports for each county under review, and summary reports for each district, have also been provided under separate cover. 8 Publication of the Data As part of our standard terms and conditions, the publication of the data in this report is subject to the advance approval of MORI. This would only be refused on the grounds of inaccuracy or misinterpretation of the findings.

Other important factors are the need for accountability to local people and responding to local people’s wishes. These four factors are also the most important in both the Crewe and the Nantwich areas. The Options • Respondents were briefed during the interview about the review of local government and shown cards setting out the main patterns of unitary local government on which the Committee consulted (Appendix 1). The options are: - Option A: - a single unitary council covering the whole of the county. - Option B: - Congleton and Macclesfield districts, combined with the eastern parts of Crewe & Nantwich (i.e. the ‘Crewe area’) and Vale Royal districts; and - Ellesmere Port & Neston and Chester districts, combined with the western parts of Crewe & Nantwich (i.e.

  • The Story of the 1986 Domesday Project
    The Story of the 1986 Domesday Project In 1986, 900 years after William the Conqueror’s original Domesday Book, the BBC published the Domesday Project . The project was probably the most ambitious attempt ever to capture the essence of life in the United Kingdom. Over a million people contributed to this digital snapshot of the country. People were asked to record what they thought would be of interest in another 1000 years. The whole of the UK was divided into 23,000 4x3km areas called Domesday Squares or “D- Blocks”. Church Minshull was d-block 364000-360000. Schools and community groups surveyed over 108,000 square km of the UK and submitted more than 147,819 pages of text articles and 23,225 amateur photos, cataloguing what it was like to live, work and play in their community. Website address: http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/domesday/dblock/GB-364000-360000 The project was about documenting everyday life - the ordinary, rather than the extraordinary and residents of Church Minshull in 1986, responded with their written accounts… The categories below contain the Church Minshull snapshot of life in 1986… The Village Church Minshull is a village situated at a bend in the R. Weaver. It was called Maneshale (Old English = nook or corner) in the first Domesday book. The village is the centre of the area in which agriculture, mainly dairy farming, is the principle industry. There are 286 people on the electoral role, the main centres of population being the village and the mobile home site at Lea Green. So far, there are not too many commuters living here, but there has been a noticeable increase in the turn-over of property in the last five years.

    CHESHIRE OBSERVER 1 August 5 1854 Runcorn POLICE COURT 28TH ULT John Hatton, a boatman, of Winsford, was charged with being drunk and incapable of taking care of himself on the previous night, and was locked up for safety. Discharged with a reprimand. 2 October 7 1854 Runcorn ROBBERY BY A SERVANT Mary Clarke, lately in the service of Mrs Greener, beerhouse keeper, Alcock Street, was, on Wednesday, charged before Philip Whiteway Esq, at the Town Hall, with stealing a small box, containing 15s 6d, the property of her late mistress. The prisoner, on Monday evening, left Mrs Greener's service, and the property in question was missed shortly afterwards. Early on Tuesday morning she was met by Davis, assistant constable, in the company of John Bradshaw, a boatman. She had then only 3 1/2d in her possession, but she subsequently acknowledged that she had taken the box and money, and said she had given the money to a young man. She was committed to trial for the theft, and Bradshaw, the boatman, was committed as a participator in the offence, but was allowed to find bail for his appearance. 3 April 14 1855 Cheshire Assizes BURGLARY William Gaskell, boatman, aged 24, for feloniously breaking into the dwelling house of Thomas Hughes, clerk, on the night of the 8th August last, and stealing therefrom a silver salver and various other articles.
