    JOURNAL OF THE ENGLISH PLACE-NAME SOCIETY Volume 43 (2011) ISSN 1351–3095 ______________________________________________________________ The Black Country David Horovitz (pp. 25–34) ______________________________________________________________ This article is from the Journal of the English Place-Name Society, an annual peer-reviewed journal issued free to members of the Society. The Journal welcomes contributions of articles and notes on subjects of relevance to English place-names. The English Place-Name Society (EPNS) was established in 1923 to conduct a county-by-county survey of the place-names of England. To date, the Survey has produced 90 volumes. Almost all English counties have been surveyed, at least in part, and work to complete the Survey is ongoing. The Survey is used by researchers, academics, and those interested in the origins, meaning, and significance of English place-names. The research work and the publication of the Survey are financed by the annual subscriptions of members of the Society, with the help of grants from the Arts and Humanities Research Council and the British Academy. Since the progress and success of the Survey depend largely upon the strength of the membership, the Society always welcomes new members, both personal and institutional. In return for the annual subscription, members receive free of charge the current issue of the Journal as well as the volume of the Survey allocated to that year’s subscription. They are entitled to order, in addition, any available volume of the Survey at a concessionary price. Associate Members pay a reduced subscription, for which they receive the Journal. Annual subscription prices (correct as of April 2017): Within the UK Outside the UK £40 (full) £45 (full)* £15 (associate) £18 (associate* *increased prices reflect increased postage cost.

  • Dissolution of West Midlands Joint Committee
    Agenda item 8 Cabinet – 25 April, 2018 Dissolution of West Midlands Joint Committee Portfolio: Councillor Sean Coughlan, Leader of the Council Related portfolios: None Service: All Wards: All Key decision: No Forward plan: No 1. Summary 1.1 A review has been undertaken of the role and function of the West Midlands Joint Committee (WMJC), which was setup in 1985 arising out of the dissolution of the West Midlands County Council. The review determined that the West Midlands Joint Committee is no longer an effective vehicle as most of its functions are now redundant at the Joint Committee for the purposes of the seven West Midlands Councils business. It was determined the remaining main function being matter relating to the Birmingham Airport, of which the seven West Midlands Councils are shareholders, can be more effectively dealt with by establishing a new Joint Committee solely for that purpose. 1.2 This report seeks authority from Cabinet to recommend to Full Council that the West Midlands Joint Committee (“WMJC” or the “Committee”) be dissolved and the new arrangements for managing the remaining residual business of the Committee once the Committee is dissolved. In addition, it seeks Cabinet approval to establish a Joint Executive Committee with the other six Councils within the West Midlands for the purpose of airport decisions known as West Midlands Shareholders Airport Committee. 2. Recommendations 2.1 That Cabinet recommends to Council to approve:- (i) the dissolution of the West Midlands Joint Committee, for the reasons set out in this report; (ii) the proposals for managing the remaining residual business of the WMJCs once it is dissolved as set out in Appendix 1 of this report.

  • Update on Stroke Reconfiguration Programme – Birmingham, Solihull and Black Country
    Item 6 Appendix 1 Update on Stroke Reconfiguration Programme – Birmingham, Solihull and Black Country 1. Purpose To provide an overview of the Birmingham, Solihull and Black Country Stroke reconfiguration Programme. The programme aims to draw together work undertaken to date by the Midlands and East Stroke Review and seeks to understand if there is a need to reconfigure local stroke services to deliver better patient outcomes. 2. Context : In 2010, the West Midlands Regional Quality Review Service led a review process in co-ordination with the West Midlands Cardiac and Stroke Networks. The purpose of the review was to assess compliance with the WMQRS (West Midlands Quality Review Service) quality standards for acute stroke and Transient Ischaemic Attacks (TIA) and to train future reviewers. The review team included a Stroke Consultant, Stroke Nurse, an Allied Health Professional and members of WMQRS and the Stroke Network. The process consisted of site visits and discussions with a multidisciplinary team. The outputs of the assessment process were used to inform the quality of care that was being delivered by each provider and to assess the capability of providers to deliver 24/7 thrombolysis and other stroke services. The review process showed that there was significant variation in the quality of care that isprovided across the region. The West Midlands Strategic Health Authority was still concerned about the model / configuration for stroke services in the region. In January 2012 the NHS across the Midlands and East approved a clinically led comprehensive review of stroke across the region, to identify options that would improve outcomes by improving mortality, reduce chances of long term disability and improve patient experience.
