Parliamentary Boundary Review Agenda Item No. REPORT TO: General Purposes Committee DATE: 15 July 2021 SERVICE AREA: Legal and Governance REPORTING OFFICER: Head of Legal and Governance (Elizabeth Jackson – Democratic Services Manager) SUBJECT: PARLIAMENTARY BOUNDARY REVIEW WARD/S AFFECTED: ALL DISTRICT FORWARD PLAN REF: N/A 1.0 PURPOSE OF REPORT To inform Members of the Boundary Commission for England’s initial proposals for new parliamentary constituency boundaries. 2.0 RECOMMENDATIONS That the Commission’s initial proposals as set out at paragraph 4.18 of the report be noted. That Members can respond individually to the proposals on the Boundary Commission for England’s website. 3.0 RECOMMENDED REASON FOR DECISION/S To ensure Members are aware of the Boundary Commission for England’s proposals. 4.0 THE REPORT 4.1 The Boundary Commission for England (the BCE) is an independent and impartial non-departmental public body, which is responsible for periodically reviewing Parliamentary constituency boundaries in England. It is currently conducting a review on the basis of rules updated by the Parliamentary Constituencies Act 2020. The review is known as the 2023 review as the date by which the Commission must make its final recommendations is 1 July 2023. 1 4.2 The Act requires there to be 650 constituencies for the UK Parliament as a whole. The number of constituencies allocated to England for the 2023 review is 541 and these are distributed between the nine ‘English regions’ defined in the Act using the mathematical formula as for the initial allocation between the four parts of the UK. The number of constituencies allocated to Yorkshire and the Humber is unchanged at 54. Initial proposals aim to ensure that each constituency is wholly contained within a single region. 4.3 Every recommended constituency must have an electorate at 2 March 2020 that is no less than 95% and no more than 105% of the ‘UK electoral quota’. The UK electoral quota for the 2023 Review is, to the nearest whole number, 73,393. Accordingly, every recommended constituency must have an electorate as at 2 March 2020 that is no smaller than 69,724 and no larger than 77,062. 4.4 Other factors which the BCE may take into account in establishing a new map of constituencies for the 2023 Review are: geographical considerations, local government boundaries as they existed (or were in prospect) on 1 December 2020, boundaries of existing constituencies; and any local ties that would be broken by changes in constituencies. 4.5 In formulating its initial proposals for particular areas, the BCE exercises its own judgement and does not consult the Parliamentary political parties, local authorities or any other interested groups or people. The BCE considers that it should take the initiative in preparing its proposals from all the information available to it. The proposals are therefore formed by the BCE from a position of independence and impartiality and are not influenced by any particular viewpoint or opinion. Once the proposals are published, the statutory procedures allow for a public consultation during which political parties and others can then make their views on proposed boundaries known to the BCE. 4.6 Currently the Harrogate District is covered by three parliamentary constituencies, being: Harrogate and Knaresborough (wholly contained within the Harrogate District with an electorate of 78,372 in March 2020) Selby and Ainsty (part within the Harrogate District with an electorate of 78,678 in March 2020) Skipton and Ripon (part within the Harrogate District with an electorate of 79,295 in March 2020) 4.7 Under the BCE’s initial proposals there will continue to be three constituencies covering the District, albeit the wards comprising each will have changed as detailed below. Timetable for the review 4.8 Stage one – the review began in January 2021, using electorate data from March 2020 (the date specified by the legislation) for each local government ward in England. The Commission used this data to draw up initial proposals which were published on 8 June. 2 4.9 Stage two - the Commission are consulting on its initial proposals for eight weeks from 8 June to 2 August 2021. The BCE’s website at www.bcereviews.org.uk has more information about how to respond. 4.10 Stage three - all of the responses to the first consultation will be published and there will be a six-week period of 'secondary consultation' in early 2022, during which people can provide their views on what others have said in the first consultation. There will be no new proposals at that stage. During this six week period, a limited number of public hearings will be held in each English region. 4.11 Stage four - the Commission will analyse all the responses from the previous two consultations and appropriate changes will be made to the initial proposals. 4.12 Stage five - these revised proposals will be published for a third and final four-week period of public consultation. Following analysis of responses to the third consultation appropriate changes will be made to the revised proposals and the Commission will submit its final report and recommendations to the government by 1 July 2023. 4.13 Within four months of the last of the four Commissions (reviews are taking place in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland) submitting their report, the UK Government must prepare the Order that would bring all their recommendations into law. Following recent changes, this Order no longer needs the approval of Parliament: it is sent directly to the Privy Council. If the Privy Council approves, the new constituencies will be used at the next General election following that (not at any interim by-elections). Initial Proposals for Yorkshire and the Humber 4.14 The number of constituencies in the Yorkshire and the Humber region will remain at 54. The proposals leave two of the 54 existing constituencies wholly unchanged, and another 13 unchanged except to realign constituency boundaries with new local government ward boundaries. 4.15 As it was not always possible to allocate whole numbers of constituencies to individual counties, some county council and unitary authority areas had been grouped into sub-regions. The number of constituencies allocated to each sub-region was determined by the combined electorate of the local authorities they contained. Consequently, it was necessary to propose some constituencies that crossed county council or unitary authority boundaries, although they had sought to keep such crossings to a minimum. 4.16 In North Yorkshire and West Yorkshire, two constituencies have been proposed that cross county boundaries. One combines a single ward from the City of Leeds with District of Selby wards, including the town of Selby. The second contains electors from the City of Leeds, Borough of Harrogate, and districts of Selby and Hambleton. The arrangement in the City of York is changed only to align with new ward boundaries. 4.17 Further detail explaining the Commission’s reasoning for the proposed new boundaries in North Yorkshire is given at paragraphs 50 to 57 of the 3 Boundary Commission for England’s document “Initial proposals for new Parliamentary constituency boundaries in the Yorkshire and the Humber region” published on the consultation portal at https://boundarycommissionforengland.independent.gov.uk/wp- content/uploads/2021/06/2021-06-08-Initial-Proposals-Yorkshire-and-the- Humber-Region.pdf Proposals for Harrogate District 4.18 The District council area is proposed to be covered by 3 wards. The changes as they affect the existing warding pattern are detailed below. 1. Harrogate and Knaresborough – proposed electorate 72,850: The proposed new ward is the ‘urban wards of Harrogate and Knaresborough’ plus Killinghall and Hampsthwaite ward. The west, south and east boundaries remain the same, but Claro ward to the north up to and including Boroughbridge ward and the part of Ouseburn ward containing the villages of Marton cum Grafton and the Dunsforths are no longer included. Also, the part of Fountains and Ripley ward containing Ripley is no longer included. The existing and proposed warding pattern for Harrogate and Knaresborough are shown at Appendices 1 and 2, and Appendix 5 lists the wards which will be included. 2. Skipton and Ripon – proposed electorate 76,758: The only changes to this large constituency are in the Harrogate district. Bishop Monkton and Newby ward is no longer included. There has been some tidying of boundaries – the whole of Fountains and Ripley ward and Washburn ward are now included (previous these wards were split between constituencies). 3. Wetherby and Easingwold – proposed electorate 74,405: This new ward replaces those parts of the district previously covered by ‘Selby and Ainsty’ and now includes Bishop Monkton and Newby ward, Claro ward and Boroughbridge ward and the whole of Ouseburn ward (which was previously split between constituencies). The part of Washburn ward comprising Huby and Weeton is no longer included. The existing and proposed warding pattern for the district as a whole are shown at Appendices 3 and 4. 4.19 Attached at Appendix 5 are details of the proposed parliamentary constituencies in whole or in part for the Harrogate District. The tables show which district wards are proposed to be included in each constituency and electorate numbers. 5.0 REQUIRED ASSESSMENTS AND IMPLICATIONS 5.1 The following were considered: Financial Implications; Human Resources Implications; Legal Implications; ICT Implications; Strategic Property/Asset Management Considerations; Risk Assessment; Equality and Diversity (the Public Sector Equality Duty and impact upon people with protected characteristics). If applicable, the outcomes of any consultations, 4 assessments, considerations and implications considered necessary during preparation of this report are detailed below. 6.0 CONCLUSIONS 6.1 The proposals are presented to Members to note.

  • Yorkshire and the Humber Region Initial Proposals Summary
    June 2021 Yorkshire and the Humber region Initial proposals summary Who we are and what we do The Boundary Commission for England (BCE) is an independent and impartial non‑departmental public body, which is responsible for reviewing Parliamentary constituency boundaries in England. The 2023 Review We have the task of periodically reviewing the boundaries of all the Parliamentary constituencies in England. We are currently conducting a review on the basis of legislative rules most recently updated by Parliament in 2020. Those rules tell us that we must make recommendations for new Parliamentary constituency boundaries by 1 July 2023. While retaining the overall number of constituencies across the UK at 650, the rules apply a distribution formula that results in an increase in the number of constituencies in England (from 533 to 543). The rules also require that every recommended constituency across the UK – apart from five specified exceptions (two of them in England) – must have an electorate that is no smaller than 69,724 and no larger than 77,062. Initial proposals We published our initial proposals for the new Parliamentary constituency boundaries in England on 8 June 2021. Information about the proposed constituencies is now available on our website at www.boundarycommissionforengland.independent.gov.uk What is changing in Yorkshire and the Humber? The Yorkshire and the Humber region has been allocated 54 constituencies – the same as the current number. Our proposals leave two of the 54 existing constituencies wholly unchanged, and another 13 unchanged except to realign constituency boundaries with new local government ward boundaries. As it has not always been possible to allocate whole numbers of constituencies to individual counties, we have grouped some county council and unitary authority areas into sub‑regions.

  • Memories of Colne
    MEMORIES OF COLNE By Mrs. Cryer, of Burnley (Formerly Miss Margaret Jane Ward, of Colne) in Collaboration with Mr. Willie Bell, of Burnley (Formerly of Colne) Reprinted from the “Colne and Nelson Times” March to August 1910 (Scanned with optical character recognition and reformatted by Craig Thornber, January 1998) -1- Introduction In 1910, Mrs. Cryer produced a series of articles for the “Colne and Nelson Times”, recalling her memories of Colne in the 1850’s. She had a remarkable memory and recounted the names and details of most of the town’s shop-keepers and their families. The book is a treasure trove for all those with family history interests in Colne in the middle of last century. To my delight, at the end of Chapter IV, I found mention of Miss Margaret Cragg, the sister of my great great grandfather. The book based on Mrs. Cryer’s articles is now very rare, so the opportunity has been taken to reproduce it. This version has been produced from a photocopy of the book by computer scanning, using an optical character recognition programme. Computer scanning is never completely accurate, particularly with punctuation marks, and when working from a document with low contrast. While the final version has been subjected to proof reading and computer based spelling checks, a few errors may remain, for which I am responsible. Many of the sentences and paragraphs are very long and the division into chapters is somewhat arbitrary, but the book has been reproduced as written. The numbering of chapter XIII has been corrected and a few changes have been made to the format for reasons of clarity.

  • Station Travel Plan Thirsk
    Station Travel Plan Thirsk ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ TransPennine Express. Station Travel Plan. Thirsk. Version 1.1. Published 31/03/2017. Author: Charlie French, Transport Integration Manager TransPennine Express Station Travel Plans have been produced in line with guidance issued by the Association of Train Operators (ATOC). All information contained within the Station Travel Plan is correct as of the date of publishing. Station Travel Plans will be updated and republished on the anniversary of the publishing date above. Station Travel Plan Thirsk ______________________________________________________________________________________________ Introduction What is a Station Travel Plan? The Department for Transport defines as Station Travel Plan as: ‘A strategy for managing the travel generated by your organisation, with the aim of reducing its environmental impact, typically involving support for walking, cycling, public transport and car sharing’ Over the next two years, TransPennine Express is undertaking Station Travel Plans for the 19 stations where they are currently the Station Facility Owner (SFO). Why Develop a Station Travel Plan? Demand for rail is growing. More people are choosing to travel by rail and demand has risen to its highest point since 1920, and it is set to keep on rising, with predictions that demand will more than double within the next 30 years. This increase means that more and more people are travelling to and from our stations, with cars often being the number one choice for getting to/from the station, either parked up or for drop off/pick up. All of this meaning that car parking and suitable infrastructure for drop off/pick up is becoming a major issue for our customers.
