Altofts and Whitwood Ward InstantAtlas™ Server 6 Wakefield Ward Profile Selection: Altofts and Whitwood Ward Introduction The Wakefield district is divided into 21 wards, with each ward being represented by three councillors. Councillors are elected by residents of the district and are responsible for making decisions about local services and budgets, such as Council Tax, on behalf of the local community. Each councillor serves for a period of four years. The ward boundaries are reviewed periodically, and the current boundaries were last altered in 2004. Altofts and Whitwood Ward is situated in the north of the District and contains the settlements of Altofts, Whitwood and Whitwood Mere, and a number of industrial parks that occupy much of the land between Normanton and Castleford. The ward also includes the Cutsyke, Roundhill and Half Acres areas of Castleford. To the north the ward is bounded by the River Calder. The ward is bisected by the M62. Selected landmarks: Trans Pennine Trail Wakefield Europort Profile created: 9/1/2017 Population Profile Population Size The most accurate population estimates are produced every ten years from the Census.

In 2001, the district's ethnic population represented just 3.3% of the total population, but the 2011 Census shows this has risen to 7.2%. This proportion, though, is much lower than the England average of 20.2%. A large part of the district increase in the ethnic minority population has been due to immigration from Eastern Europe, particularly from Poland. There has also been continued immigration from South Asia, and a small but growing number of people immigrating from Africa. The ethnic mix for this area is shown in the table below.

  • The West Riding in the Late Seventeenth Century by David Hey
    Introduction: The West Riding in the Late Seventeenth Century by David Hey Not only was Yorkshire by far the largest of the ancient counties of England, at 1,709,307 acres, but the West Riding alone exceeded in size every other county except Lincolnshire. The word riding is derived from the late Old English ‘thrithing’ or ‘thriding’, itself adapted from an Old Norse loan word, meaning a third part. Wapentake, similarly derived, was the equivalent of the Anglo-Saxon hundred, and came from the symbolic flourishing of weapons to signify agreement when decisions were made in open-air assemblies at convenient sites, such as a river crossing or by a stone cross.1 The wapentakes continued to see to the levying of taxes, the raising of the militia and the maintenance of law and order and did not finally disappear until the reorganisation of local government in 1974. The West Riding was divided into eleven wapentakes: Ainsty, Agbrigg, Barkston Ash, Claro, Ewcross, Morley, Osgoldcross, Skyrack, Staincliffe, Staincross and Strafforth. The Ainsty, bounded by the rivers Ure, Ouse and Wharfe, had been annexed by Henry VI (d. 1471), king of England, to the city of York, as the county of the city, which was independent of all three ridings, but it was still considered to be a West Riding wapentake. The wapentakes were divided into townships, the vills of medieval documents. In the eastern parts of the West Riding many townships were coterminous with the ecclesiastical parishes and were referred to as parishes in the hearth tax returns, but the large moorland parishes in the west contained numerous townships.

  • Impact on Response Times by Wards in West Yorkshire
    Impact on response times by wards in West Yorkshire To be read in conjunction with the Consultation Document The time it takes for a fire engine to get to a fire is an extremely important part of the overall ambition of “Making West Yorkshire Safer”, so it is vital that, with limited resources, fire engines are located in the best places where fires are most likely to occur. When considering any changes, the Authority’s approved Risk Based Planning Assumptions (RBPA), contained in the Community Risk Management Strategy, are used to determine the expected time it should take for a fire engine to get to an emergency. The RBPA for an area will vary depending on the likelihood of a fire occurring and the impact of that fire; the priority being fires where it is suspected that people may be involved (life risk incidents). The second priority is to attend fires involving property (without life risk) and finally there are planning assumptions for all other smaller incidents. Analysis of the predicted attendance times at a ward level across the whole of West Yorkshire for all risk bands from very high to very low shows that, when measured against the RBPA, the impact is minimal. The risk levels are highlighted in column 2 below: red indicates very high risk, orange indicates high risk, yellow indicates medium risk, green indicates low risk and blue indicates very low risk areas. Further details are provided in the table below and summarised as follows: Response times to all but three wards is within the RBPA 23 wards will benefit from improved

Final recommendations p7 Initial/revised proposals overview 1. Yorkshire and the Humber was allocated 50 constituencies under the initial and revised proposals, a reduction of four from the existing allocation. In our initial proposals we proposed two sub-regions. Humberside formed a sub-region and the combined area of North Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, and West Yorkshire formed another sub-region. In the revised proposals, we proposed that Humberside and North Yorkshire form two separate sub-regions, with the combined area of South Yorkshire and West Yorkshire forming a third sub-region. In formulating the initial and revised proposals the Commission therefore decided to construct constituencies using the following sub-regions: Table 1A - Constituency allocation Sub-region Existing allocation Allocation under initial Allocation under revised proposals proposals Humberside 10 9 9 North Yorkshire, South 44 41 n/a Yorkshire, West Yorkshire North Yorkshire 8 n/a 8 South Yorkshire, West 36 n/a 33 Yorkshire 1 2. Under the initial proposals three of the existing 54 constituencies were completely unchanged. The revised proposals retained eight of the existing constituencies unchanged. Under the initial proposals it was proposed to have four constituencies that crossed county boundaries - two between North Yorkshire and West Yorkshire, and two between South Yorkshire and West Yorkshire.
