South Staffordshire Council Election Results 1973-2011 South Staffordshire Council Election Results 1973-2011 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. The lower graph shows for each main round of local elections the overall percentage turnout (solid line), the percentage of women candidates standing at (dotted line) and the percentage of women among those elected (hashed line).

The applicant has not taken into account db symmetry’s proposals which are coming forward for the Hinckley National Rail Freight Interchange (HNRFI) at junction 2 of the M69. This scheme is considered to be a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP). It should be noted that this proposal is located within 5 miles of Nuneaton which is in the West Midlands. On this basis the Hinckley proposal is perfectly positioned to absorb a percentage of the capacity deemed to be essential at Four Ashes to service the Arc of the West Midlands. Accordingly, the scale of the West Midlands Interchange could be decreased. Paragraph 2.1 (b) states that the need for a SRFI development in this quadrant of the West Midlands has been identified since, at least, 2004. Identified by the Strategic Rail Authority 2004, the Strategic Rail Authority, West Midlands Regional Logistics Study; and successive drafts of the West Midlands Regional Spatial strategy which included conclusions of the appointed Examining Panel.

  • 2037 Spatial Housing Strategy & Infrastructure Delivery
    SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE COUNCIL – LOCAL PLAN REVIEW – 2018 - 2037 SPATIAL HOUSING STRATEGY & INFRASTRUCTURE DELIVERY – OCTOBER 2019 LAND AT LANDYWOOD – GREAT WYRLEY KGL (HOLDINGS ) LTD: Mr C WALLACE & Mrs SNAPE 1. I refer to the above consultation and confirm that I act for the owners, as above, of the land identified on the attached plan . 2. Firstly, the approach in the Review which states that areas of safeguarded land will become housing land allocations, is welcomed and endorsed . In the context of my client’s land which is already allocated and safeguarded, this will enable a comprehensive scheme for these areas to come forward, consistent with the need to ensure public safety within the areas concerned. 3. However, my clients wish their land, as above, to be considered for future housing development either independently or, in association with the above land parcels, as part of an overall comprehensive scheme thereby providing the potential to incorporate employment and other uses, as appropriate, in a highly sustainable location. 4. The land parcels concerned which are owned by KGL (Holdings) Ltd., have previously been considered in the 2018 SHELAA (site refs. 136 and 137) and categorised as “potentially suitable”. 1 5. It is noted that the Green Belt Study 2019 (GBS) assesses the impact upon the green belt of development on the land east of Upper Landywood Lane now being promoted as “moderate” , with the following explanation: “The sub-parcel (S21A) makes a strong contribution to preventing sprawl of the large built-up area of Cannock/Great Wyrley and to preventing encroachment on the countryside, and a moderate contribution to maintaining the separation between the neighbouring towns of Great Wyrley and Bloxwich.

  • The Foresters of Cannock in the Eleventh and Twelfth Centuries
    Prosopon Newsletter 1 Copyright © Richard Dace, 2001 The Foresters of Cannock in the Eleventh and Twelfth Centuries. Richard Dace (London)1 In the preface to his The Royal Forests of Medieval England C.R. Young observed that English forests and their custodians have been curiously neglected.2 This paper is a brief study of the early keepers of Cannock Forest (Staffs). It is generally accepted that forests in the sense of areas subject to special legislation were introduced into England after the Norman Conquest, although there were hunting grounds in England prior to the Conquest and Cannock may well have been one of them.3 Cannock Forest seems to have been in existence by the 1080s, when the Staffordshire folios of Domesday Book make passing reference to a forester and to woodland in royal hands. William Rufus and Henry I both visited Cannock, where there was a hunting lodge, and presumably hunted whilst they were there.4 At its greatest extent Cannock Forest covered around one hundred square miles, encompassing the uplands now known as the Cannock Hills and the area surrounding the cathedral centre of Lichfield. During the period under consideration rivers formed the boundary on three sides, the Trent to the north, the Penk to the west and the Tame to the east respectively. To the south, where a natural barrier is lacking, the boundary of the Forest was not permanently fixed; it apparently retreated northwards during the reign of Stephen but was restored or even extended southwards under Henry II.5 The soils within the area of the forest are mostly poor and Domesday Book indicates that the locality was thinly settled and extensively wooded in 1086.6 However, in the twelfth century the expansion of arable cultivation was clearly considerable, as the grant of fifteen hundred acres of assarts in the forest to the Bishop of Coventry in 1155 shows.7 Even so much woodland remained from which deer and timber could be taken in the thirteenth century.8 The first reference to the post of Forester of Cannock is in the Pipe Roll for 1130.
