All rights reserved. 1 | 18 European Parliament Elections 2014 1.0 Introduction This briefing is part of DeHavilland EU’s Foresight Report series on the 2014 European elections and provides a preliminary overview of the candidates standing in the UK for election to the European Parliament in 2014. In the United Kingdom, the election for the country’s 73 Members of the European Parliament will be held on Thursday 22 May 2014. The elections come at a crucial junction for UK-EU relations, and are likely to have far-reaching consequences for the UK’s relationship with the rest of Europe: a surge in support for the UK Independence Party (UKIP) could lead to a Britain that is increasingly dis-engaged from the EU policy-making process. In parallel, the current UK Government is also conducting a review of the EU’s powers and Prime Minister David Cameron has repeatedly pushed for a ‘repatriation’ of powers from the European to the national level. These long-term political developments aside, the elections will also have more direct and tangible consequences.

We asked attendees how they felt about the earlier finish time on the final day. 60% of those that responded said they preferred the earlier finish time with only 9% saying they preferred to break for lunch.

As in 2013 we received a superb welcome from the city. We continue to ask all attendees to complete an online feedback questionnaire. A good percentage complete this but I would urge all members to take the time to participate. It is incredibly useful to the conference office and FCC and does influence whether we visit a venue again and if we do, what changes we need to try and make. FCC Changes Following the committee elections at the end of last year there were a number of changes to the membership of FCC. Qassim Afzal, Louise Bloom, Sal Brinton, Prateek Buch, Veronica German, Evan Harris and David Rendel either did not restand or were not re-elected. All played a valuable role on FCC and will be missed. We welcome Jon Ball, Zoe O’Connell and Mary Reid onto the committee as directly elected members. FPC have elected two new representatives onto FCC and we welcome back Linda Jack and Jeremy Hargreaves in these roles. Both have previously served on FCC so are familiar with the way we work. One of the FE reps is also new with Kaavya Kaushik joining James Gurling as an FE rep on FCC.

  • Midlands Woodland for Water Project
    MMiiddllaannddss WWooooddllaanndd ffoorr WWaatteerr PPrroojjeecctt PPhhaassee 11:: OOppppoorrttuunniittyy MMaappppiinngg FFiinnaall RReeppoorrtt Samantha Broadmeadow, Huw Thomas and Tom Nisbet Forest Research February 2013 Opportunity Mapping Executive Summary The Midlands Region faces a number of major water issues, with over 100,000 properties at significant risk of flooding and 85% of river waterbodies currently failing to meet the target Good Ecological Status required by the Water Framework Directive. A number of recent publications provide strong evidence of the ability of woodland creation to help tackle these pressures by reducing and delaying flood waters, limiting pollutant loadings and retaining diffuse pollutants. Ongoing studies designed to improve our understanding of the effects of woodland on flood flows have been reviewed and the findings found to further strengthen the supporting evidence base. A significant caveat, however, is the need for care in site selection to ensure that planting does not increase flood risk by synchronising, rather than desynchronising downstream flood flows. The main aim of this study was to identify priority areas for woodland creation and the improved management of existing woodlands to reduce downstream flood risk and achieve the objectives of the Water Framework Directive. A wide range of spatial datasets were accessed from partners, particularly the Environment Agency, and used to generate a large number of maps and supporting GIS shapefiles showing priority areas potentially available for planting. The results provide a strong basis for developing and refining regional objectives, initiatives and projects to deliver new woodlands where they can best contribute to FRM and meet WFD targets, in addition to generating many other benefits for society.

Beatrice Barleon did valuable work that is reflected in the European sections. Thank you also to Ashley Dé for his efforts in bringing it to publication, and to Tom Carpenter for design work. Several Regional Returning Officers, and Adam Gray, helped with obtaining local detail on the European election results. Any errors of fact or judgement are my own. County and European elections 5 June 2009 7 Executive summary 1. In the European elections only 43.4 per cent 9. Many county councils now have lopsided supported either the Conservatives or Labour, Conservative majorities that do not reflect the the lowest such proportion ever. While this was balance of opinion in their areas. connected with the political climate over MPs’ expenses, it merely continues a long-term 10. This is bad for democracy because of the trend of decline in the two-party system.

  • Historic Environment Character Area Overview Reports This Appendix
    Appendix 2: Historic Environment Character Area Overview Reports This appendix provides an overview of the historic environment for each of the Historic Environment Character Areas (HECAs) which fall within Lichfield District. It should be noted that the information and any recommendations contained within each of the documents is subject to amendment should any new information become available. For further information regarding the Historic Environment Record (HER); Historic Landscape Characterisation (HLC) and designated sites please contact: Cultural Heritage Team Environment & Countryside Development Services Directorate Staffordshire County Council Riverway Stafford ST16 3TJ Tel: 01785 277281/277285/277290 Email: [email protected] Staffordshire County Council February 2009 1 Historic Environment Character Area (HECA) 2a Introduction This document forms an overview of the HECA which specifically addresses the potential impact of medium to large scale development upon the historic environment. The character area covers 5,645ha lies wholly within Lichfield District boundary and to the west of Tamworth. Archaeological and Historic Documentation Archaeological work within the character area has tended to concentrate along the A5 and the M6 (Toll) roads. The information on this character area mostly comes from the HER data, whilst VCH has covered part of the area. Historic Environment Assets Summary The current understanding on the later prehistoric landscape of the character area suggests that it had mostly been heavily wooded until Bronze Age, when some clearance may have begun to take place to support a small scale pastoral economy. The earliest evidence for human activity from the character area dates to the Mesolithic period; however, this comes from flint artefacts and probably represents the presence of mobile hunting groups and transitory occupation.

It was once extremely common to add to the name of the deceased further details about where they were ‘of’ or ‘from’. Very frequently the phrase used was ‘of this parish’. One typical inscription reads: ‘Here lieth the Body of joan the wife of walter Williams of Baddon in the Parish of Bridestow’, to take an example dated 1774 from Lydford in west Dartmoor. Other inscriptions may take the form: ‘In Memory of [name], of this parish’, or ‘of the parish of . .’ The wording can vary in a number of ways. Some- times one Wnds the person, or their husband or parents, being ascribed to a certain place rather than ‘this parish’, a place that may be a small settlement or even a house address, through to a large city.
