    LEEKFRITH NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN 2019 -2033 CONSULTATION STATEMENT Tittesworth Water from the Roaches 1 CONTENTS 1. Introduction 2. Consultation Process 3. Consultation to Develop the Draft Neighbourhood Plan 4. The Formal Regulation 14 Consultation 5. Conclusion 2 1.0 Introduction 1. 1 The Consultation Statement has been prepared to fulfil the legal requirements of Part 5, S(15) of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 by: a. Detailing all those who were consulted about our Neighbourhood Plan; b. Outlining details of the consultation process; c. Providing a summary of the main issues and concerns that were raised during the consultation; d. Detailing how these issues and concerns have been considered and addressed in the Neighbourhood Plan. 1.2 Leekfrith is a rural Parish with no real concentration of houses. The whole parish has only 306 people on the electoral role and 150 houses. It is however a strong community. The village of Meerbrook has only a dozen houses, but also a church, chapel, village hall and a thriving pub. The hamlet of Upper Hulme has half a dozen houses, a pub and also quite a large old Dye Mill which these days houses a number of small companies that make a diverse range of products. The Mill is in poor repair. 1.3 The parish is within the Staffordshire Moorlands District Council (SMDC) administrative area but the planning function is split between SMDC and the Peak District National Park Authority (PDNPA). 1.4 The Roaches, a well-known beauty spot loved by walkers and climbers, is situated to the North of the parish in the National Park.

  • Staffordshire Moorlands 1973-2011
    Staffordshire Moorlands District 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.

    Chapter 25 From Greek herbals to Leek Plants November 2002. One of a series of Chapters by Dr. John S. Plant, Keele University, England, ST5 5BG. FROM CELTS AND PLANTARDS TO PLANTAGENETS AND LEEK PLANTS1 arly Plant-like names may be related to sense found in Greek herbals and to a subsequent “Merovingian E culture”. Also Celtic traditions, assimilated into early Christian teachings, may be traced through to late medieval times. Such medieval considerations, for the formative meanings of Plant-like names, seem at least as important as sense derived from modern French and English meanings to the words. Though ideally the initial DNA evidence should be checked, by measuring more DNA markers, the evidence already casts doubt on an idea that Plant originated as a widely spread occupational name. Instead, the DNA evidence supports surviving documentary evidence that an early single-family Plant homeland was near “Celtic” Wales. Early documentary evidence of Plants elsewhere, however, suggests that the Plants were more than an immobile single family. Further DNA testing is relevant, not least for the important French and English name Planta- genet. A strict consideration of the medieval evidence for the Plantagenet name is included in this Chapter as well as later records for Plant in its evident Leek homeland. 25.1 Diverse views on the meanings of Plant-like names n discussions of the previous Chapters, three main strands can be identified in unraveling meanings for Plant-like names. There is (1) commonly supposed sense as a ‘gardener’, (2) more esoteric ‘soul implant’ sense relating to a ‘progeny’ or ‘child’ meaning of the Welsh or archaic English word plant, and (3) sense of influence from the historically important names Plantard and Plantagenet.
