  • Goschen's Assigned Revenues System and the Chiswick High
    ‘A bad bargain for local authorities’: Goschen’s Assigned Revenues System and the Chiswick High Road, 1902-1911 Tracey Logan, University of Leicester, ([email protected]) Supervisors: Professor Simon Gunn and Professor Rosemary Sweet Figure 1: A quiet lunchtime on Chiswick High Road (circa 1905).1 Considering a short-stretch of strategically-important highway in Greater London, this paper addresses the impact of a post-1888 financial settlement on local government which underfunded main roads in the pre-First World War decade. Chiswick High Road is a one and three-quarter mile (2.8 km) stretch of the ancient London to Bath ‘Great Western Road’, within the county of Middlesex. As a major London artery it had always been busy, but the turn-of-the-century separation of home and work life added commuters to the High Road’s business and pleasure traffic. This was especially true after 1900 when motor vehicles joined the horses, trams and traction engines pounding its wood-paved surface, increasing road maintenance and improvement costs, including safety measures. Constraints of space limit this paper to main road maintenance. From 1902 Chiswick’s main road funding became precarious, forcing its Urban District Council (UDC) to compensate through increased district rates and borrowing. By 1906 community tension over this posed a threat to its local government, when Chiswick’s Ratepayers Association- backed candidates challenging councillors in four of the district’s six wards.2 It was the most highly- contested poll in over a decade. Ratepayers were not told their high rates and UDC indebtedness were partly due to Middlesex County Council’s (MCC’s) underfunding of their main road and its unfavourable post-1902 reimbursement terms for constituent local authorities.

  • MIDDLESEX COUNTY RECORD OFFICE Records, 1774-93 Reel M581
    AUSTRALIAN JOINT COPYING PROJECT MIDDLESEX COUNTY RECORD OFFICE Records, 1774-93 Reel M581 Middlesex County Record Office 1 Queen Anne’s Gate Buildings Dartmouth Street London SW1H 9BS National Library of Australia State Library of New South Wales Filmed: 1964 HISTORICAL NOTE The Middlesex County Record Office evolved from the collection of records of Middlesex Quarter Sessions which the Clerk of the Peace was required to preserve, together with other records such as enclosure awards. At the direction of a committee of the justices of peace, the old records were first sorted and listed in the 1880s. The new Middlesex Guildhall at Westminster, which was equipped with muniment rooms, opened in 1913 and in 1923 a full-time assistant was placed in charge of the records. The first county archivist was appointed in 1946, initially on a part-time basis. In the late 1950s the record office moved into new premises in Dartmouth Street. In 1965 the new Greater London Council took over the record offices of the London County Council and the defunct Middlesex County Council. However they remained in separate premises until 1979, when the Dartmouth Street premises were sold. Both archives were then housed in County Hall. In 1982 the Greater London Record Office moved to a new building in Clerkenwell. In 1986 the Greater London Council was abolished and the record office became the responsibility of the City of London Corporation. Its name was changed to the London Metropolitan Archives in 1997. In addition to the Middlesex Sessions records, selected records held in the Greater London Record Office were filmed by the Australian Joint Copying Project and can be found on reels M3087-3105.

  • Contaminated Land Inspection Strategy June 2017
    Contaminated Land Inspection Strategy June 2017 1 Executive Summary The Borough of Spelthorne is located in north-west Surrey bordering Greater London and Heathrow; and is predominantly inside the M25. The main conurbations of the Borough are the towns of Ashford, Shepperton, Staines-upon-Thames, Stanwell and Sunbury on Thames. Approximately 65% of the Borough is designated as Green Belt, and so the remaining 35% is quite densely populated. Sand and gravel represents an important mineral resource in the Borough. Almost a quarter of the Borough’s area has been subject to sand, gravel and, in the past, brick earth extraction activities, and subsequent landfilling with wastes. Urban development was, and remains, predominantly residential but there were also significant areas developed for commercial purposes, ranging from substantial factory sites to small workshops and yards. Many of these have been extensively redeveloped over the years, both to meet commercial development needs and in some cases for residential use. Part 2A of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 places a duty on the Council to review land in the Borough that has been historically contaminated. Its main purpose is to provide an improved system for the identification of land that is posing unacceptable risks to health or the environment given the current use and circumstances of the land, and for securing remediation where such risks cannot be controlled by other means. Land contamination will also be addressed when land is redeveloped under the planning system, during the building control process, or where action is taken independently by landowners. Spelthorne Borough Council published its Contaminated Land Inspection Strategy in 2001.
