Groundwater in Jurassic Carbonates
Groundwater in Jurassic carbonates Field Excursion to the Lincolnshire Limestone: Karst development, source protection and landscape history 25 June 2015 Tim Atkinson (University College London) with contributions from Andrew Farrant (British Geological Survey) Introduction 1 The Lincolnshire Limestone is an important regional aquifer. Pumping stations at Bourne and other locations along the eastern edge of the Fens supply water to a large population in South Lincolnshire. Karst permeability development and rapid groundwater flow raise issues of groundwater source protection, one of themes of this excursion. A second theme concerns the influence of landscape development on the present hydrogeology. Glacial erosion during the Middle Pleistocene re-oriented river patterns and changed the aquifer’s boundary conditions. Some elements of the modern groundwater flow pattern may be controlled by karstic permeability inherited from pre-glacial conditions, whereas other flow directions are a response to the aquifer’s current boundary conditions. Extremely high permeability is an important feature in part of the confined zone of the present-day aquifer and the processes that may have produced this are a third theme of the excursion. The sites to be visited will demonstrate the rapid groundwater flow paths that have been proved by water tracing, whereas the topography and landscape history will be illustrated by views during a circular tour from the aquifer outcrop to the edge of the Fenland basin and back. Quarry exposures will be used to show the karstification of the limestone, both at outcrop and beneath a cover of mudrock. Geology and Topography The Middle Jurassic Lincolnshire Limestone attains 30 m thickness in the area between Colsterworth and Bourne and dips very gently eastwards. -
North Kesteven - Local Authority In-House Home Improvement Agency
North Kesteven - Local authority in-house home improvement agency Good practice themes 1. Discretionary Assistance within Regulatory Reform Order Policy that supports stay put and move on options in a rural authority area 2. Access to Adult Care Information system to directly update case records and hence ensure statutory agencies are able to determine current status of intervention being provided through housing assistance Context North Kesteven Council (population c 110,000) is one of seven second tier authorities in Lincolnshire and is essentially rural with two small towns and around 100 small communities. Over 80% of the population live in rural areas or market towns. The housing tenure mix is dominated by owner occupation, there is a limited social housing sector (including some council owned stock) and an increasing private rented sector, the latter considered in part to be meeting demand from inward migration to the area due to employment in the agricultural industry. Historically, in common with many second tier authorities across England, available funding for Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG) has been modest so until relatively recently there has been an approach where demand for mandatory assistance has been carefully managed. Indeed whilst the Better Care Fund allocation has resulted in a significant increase to the local budget it remains relatively small, £744k in 2018/19. However this level of increase has since 2016 enabled the introduction of several forms of discretionary assistance for disabled older people in a way that better meets the ambition of the local authority to directly provide or enable improvements in health and wellbeing of residents. -
Folk Song in Cumbria: a Distinctive Regional
FOLK SONG IN CUMBRIA: A DISTINCTIVE REGIONAL REPERTOIRE? A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Susan Margaret Allan, MA (Lancaster), BEd (London) University of Lancaster, November 2016 ABSTRACT One of the lacunae of traditional music scholarship in England has been the lack of systematic study of folk song and its performance in discrete geographical areas. This thesis endeavours to address this gap in knowledge for one region through a study of Cumbrian folk song and its performance over the past two hundred years. Although primarily a social history of popular culture, with some elements of ethnography and a little musicology, it is also a participant-observer study from the personal perspective of one who has performed and collected Cumbrian folk songs for some forty years. The principal task has been to research and present the folk songs known to have been published or performed in Cumbria since circa 1900, designated as the Cumbrian Folk Song Corpus: a body of 515 songs from 1010 different sources, including manuscripts, print, recordings and broadcasts. The thesis begins with the history of the best-known Cumbrian folk song, ‘D’Ye Ken John Peel’ from its date of composition around 1830 through to the late twentieth century. From this narrative the main themes of the thesis are drawn out: the problem of defining ‘folk song’, given its eclectic nature; the role of the various collectors, mediators and performers of folk songs over the years, including myself; the range of different contexts in which the songs have been performed, and by whom; the vexed questions of ‘authenticity’ and ‘invented tradition’, and the extent to which this repertoire is a distinctive regional one. -
Notice of Minimum Number of the Electorate Required to Petition for a Referendum for an Elected Mayor
NOTICE OF MINIMUM NUMBER OF THE ELECTORATE REQUIRED TO PETITION FOR A REFERENDUM FOR AN ELECTED MAYOR Under the Local Government Act 2000 and under the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007, one of the things we have to do by law is let people know about their right to ask for a referendum if they want an elected mayor to manage their council. We also have to tell you the numbers needed for a valid petition. If 5% of the number of people on the local electoral register submit a petition asking for a referendum for an elected mayor, then the local council must hold a referendum in their area. We have listed the numbers of people the 5% equates to in each council district in Lincolnshire, as well as the total for Lincolnshire County Council – these figures apply from 15 February 2021. District 5% of electoral register needed Boston Borough 2,412 East Lindsey 5,511 City of Lincoln 3,132 North Kesteven 4,592 South Holland 3,547 South Kesteven 5,444 West Lindsey 3,704 Lincolnshire 28,342 These figures will be used to check the validity of any petition received between 1 April 2021 and 31 March 2022 or any earlier date required by Government Regulation. Every year we publish the 5% figures and remind you of your right to tell us in a petition that you would like a referendum. The petition must be signed by the correct number of people (using the 5% figures for your district listed above) and delivered to a council’s ‘principal office’. -
