  • Letter from Over 100 Rural Business Owners September 2020
    LETTER BY OVER 100 RURAL BUSINESS OWNERS to PM & SECRETARIES OF STATE 25 September 2020 The letter below is also signed by a further four businesses, represented by seven individuals, who requested their names be withheld from publication. It was published in the East Anglian Daily Times https://www.eadt.co.uk/news/sizewell-c-construction-opposed-by-suffolk-businesses-2700468 To: The Rt Hon Boris Johnson MP, The Rt Hon Alok Sharma MP, The Rt Hon George Eustice MP, Minette Batters, President National Farmers’ Union Mark Bridgeman, President, Country Landowners’ Association Stephen Miles, President, Suffolk Agricultural Association cc Rt Hon Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park, Victoria Prentis MP, Lord Gardiner of Kimble, The Rt Hon Therese Coffey MP, Dr Dan Poulter MP, Peter Aldous MP, The Rt Hon Matt Hancock MP, James Cartlidge MP, Jo Churchill MP, Tom Hunt MP Cllrs Matthew Hicks and Richard Rout, Suffolk County Council. Cllrs Steve Gallant and Craig Rivett, East Suffolk Council We the undersigned, as rural business owners, farmers and landowners in Suffolk, write to express our opposition to EDF’s plans to build two new nuclear reactors at Sizewell. The threat of Sizewell C has been hanging over the heads of many of our number for at least eight years now with no immediate end in sight. This would be tolerable if the Sizewell C project was for the “greater good” but we have concluded that it is not necessary to meet the UK’s commitment to net zero, and would be a slow, risky and expensive waste of taxpayers’ money that removes opportunities to make use of alternative, green, deliverable and cost-effective energy solutions.

  • Statues Review Report Appendix 1A 091020 , Item 63. PDF 567 KB
    Appendix 1 – Statue Review Report and Recommendations Statues Review Report and Recommendations Written by Alison Lowe Introduction On 10th June 2020, Cllr Judith Blake issued a statement on Black Lives Matter and statues, which strongly condemned the killing of George Floyd whilst also acknowledging the scourge of racism which still exists across the world; leading to injustice, discrimination and harm to the diverse communities of Leeds. In the same statement, referring to the recent toppling of Edward Colston’s statue in Bristol, Cllr Blake said “We also understand the anguish caused by statues of some historical figures. There will therefore be a city wide review of statues in Leeds to understand their history and context, as well as to ensure our city’s rich multi-cultural history is appropriately celebrated and represented and also to identify any gaps that exist. It is important the review works closely with communities and cultural partners from across the city. We are delighted to announce that Alderwoman Alison Lowe has agreed to lead the review and her vast experience in this area is very much welcome”. The day before on 9th June, the statue of Queen Victoria on Woodhouse Moor was vandalised with graffiti and the words “educate”, “colonise” and “slave owner” were sprayed over the statue. A petition to remove Sir Robert Peel from Woodhouse Moor, also began to circulate. The Local Government Association announced a review of statues and developed an advice note for Labour-led authorities, which recommended “community dialogue” as the best way to hear all sides of the debate with an objective group of people – preferably academics and historians – to undertake the work.

  • One Nation: Power, Hope, Community
    one nation power hope community power hope community Ed Miliband has set out his vision of One Nation: a country where everyone has a stake, prosperity is fairly shared, and we make a common life together. A group of Labour MPs, elected in 2010 and after, describe what this politics of national renewal means to them. It begins in the everyday life of work, family and local place. It is about the importance of having a sense of belonging and community, and sharing power and responsibility with people. It means reforming the state and the market in order to rebuild the economy, share power hope community prosperity, and end the living standards crisis. And it means doing politics in a different way: bottom up not top down, organising not managing. A new generation is changing Labour to change the country.

  • An Investigation Into the Determining Factors of Zoo Visitor Attendances in UK Zoos
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by PubMed Central An Investigation into the Determining Factors of Zoo Visitor Attendances in UK Zoos Andrew William Whitworth1,2* 1 University of Glasgow; Institute of Biodiversity, Animal Health & Comparative Medicine; College of Medical, Veterinary & Life Sciences, Glasgow, United Kingdom, 2 The CREES Foundation, London, United Kingdom Abstract The debate as to which animals are most beneficial to keep in zoos in terms of financial and conservative value is readily disputed; however, demographic factors have also been shown to relate to visitor numbers on an international level. The main aims of this research were: (1) To observe the distribution and location of zoos across the UK, (2) to develop a way of calculating zoo popularity in terms of the species kept within a collection and (3) to investigate the factors related to visitor numbers regarding admission costs, popularity of the collection in terms of the species kept and local demographic factors. Zoo visitor numbers were positively correlated with generated popularity ratings for zoos based on the species kept within a collection and admission prices (Pearson correlation: n = 34, r = 0.268, P = 0.126 and n = 34, r = 20.430, P = 0.011). Animal collections are aggregated around large cities and tourist regions, particularly coastal areas. No relationship between demographic variables and visitor numbers was found (Pearson correlation: n = 34, r = 0.268, P = 0.126), which suggests that the popularity of a zoo’s collection relative to the types and numbers of species kept is more indicative of a collection’s visitor numbers than its surrounding demographic figures.
