  • Central Bedfordshire Council Air Quality Action Plan
    Central Bedfordshire Council Appendix A Central Bedfordshire Council Air Quality Action Plan In fulfilment of Part IV of the Environment Act 1995 Local Air Quality Management 2019 - 2024 Central Bedfordshire Council Local Authority Kay Sterling Officer Department Public Protection Priory House, Monks Walk, Chicksands, Address Shefford, Bedfordshire, SG17 5TQ Telephone 0300 300 5065 E-mail [email protected] Report Reference Ampthill & Sandy AQAP 2019 - 2024 number Date 2018 Central Bedfordshire Council Executive Summary This Air Quality Action Plan (AQAP) has been produced as part of our statutory duties required by the Local Air Quality Management framework. It outlines the action we will take to improve air quality in Central Bedfordshire between 2019 and 2024. This is the first action plan relating to the Air Quality Management Areas declared in 2015 (Ampthill and Sandy). Air pollution is associated with many adverse health impacts. It is recognised as a contributing factor in the onset of heart disease and cancer. Additionally, air pollution particularly affects the most vulnerable in society: children and older people, and those with heart and lung conditions. There is also often a strong correlation with equalities issues, because areas with poor air quality are also often the less affluent areas1,2. The annual health cost to society of the impacts of particulate matter alone in the UK is estimated to be around £16 billion3. Central Bedfordshire Council is committed to reducing the exposure of people in Central Bedfordshire to poor air quality to improve health. Air Quality within Central Bedfordshire is generally good; the main source of air pollution is from road traffic emissions, specifically nitrogen dioxide (NO2).

  • The Statistical Bias Against Unitary Counties
    THE STATISTICAL BIAS AGAINST UNITARY COUNTIES How local government reorganisation has hidden deprivation and threatens to strip authorities of funding Steve Fothergill and Tony Gore Centre for Regional Economic and Social Research Sheffield Hallam University Final report October 2011 This report has been funded by Durham County Council. An additional input of Prof Fothergill’s time was provided by the Industrial Communities Alliance, the all-party association of local authorities in Britain’s industrial areas. 1 Contents Summary 1. PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF THE REPORT The nature of the problem The report 2. THE AVAILABILITY OF STATISTICS The authorities affected by reorganisation Review of published data Data availability: some conclusions 3. THE IMPACT ON THE MEASUREMENT OF DISADVANTAGE A working method Indices of Deprivation DWP benefits data The impact: an assessment 4. A SPECIAL CASE? The counter-argument The scale of the new unitary counties Why size matters Special case: an assessment 5. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS An unintended by-product of reorganisation Recommendations 2 Summary The reorganisation of local government in parts of England in 2009 has created a statistical anomaly. Whereas data for 36 former district councils is now being discontinued, figures continue to be produced for 201 districts within the surviving two-tier counties. This threatens to hide deprivation in the new unitary counties and, in turn, to erode the likelihood that some of these unitary counties will benefit from funding streams that target areas of disadvantage. This could develop into a major, on-going problem. It would be astonishing if, in the long run, statistics for local disadvantage did not continue to guide policy and funding even though current area-based initiatives are being run down.

Electors could choose whether they voted by post, telephone, internet, digital with collection of postal papers from OAP and nursing homes. All electors were verified with a PIN and VIN. Other innovations included no declarations of interest. The register was marked each day for ease of canvassers, so they knew on a daily basis which of the electorate to canvass. All ballot papers were bar coded and scanned in, electors did not have to fill in any identification material. This procedure would not be permitted under the new regulations. It became apparent that some people still wanted the opportunity of voting at polling stations. In the 2006 election pilot the following initiatives were undertaken:- • Early voting • Use of technology at early voting stations • Printing ballot paper at source • On line check for postal voters • No stamping instrument – ballot paper under printing • No counterfoil – ballot paper listing • Bar coded ballot paper • Candidate’s names on poll cards • Postal votes scanned on return • Postal voting statement not requiring witness statement.
