St Leonard’s is faced in grey and red sandstone, the la-er locally available at Holly Hill /uarry. Although much of the church was rebuilt at the end of the 10th century, the west window and both the chancel and the nave roofs probably date from the 11th century. A single bell bears the inscripon ’Sir 2ohn Li3lton 1188’, the lord of the manor and holder of the tle aron Frankly. Although in 5orcester- shire, St Leonard’s was a chapel of Halesowen which lay in Shropshire. 2n 1738 the church was granted permission to bury parishioners here in the churchyard, rather than be taken to the mother church for internment. St Leonard’s became a parish in its own right in 1888 Frankley 9reen, an area of common gra:ing from medieval mes, lay east of the present M1 motorway around the road of the same name. Frankly Hill rises at Frankley Hill Lane. Frankley eeches is a prominent landmark at the north end of Egghill Lane, now in the care of the Naonal Trust. Land here was given by 9eorge Cadbury as parkland to the City and rises to 701 feet (approx. 240m). eeches are large disncve trees which live to a great age. A stand of such trees is always a prominent landmark. James SherriA’s 1708 map of 21 miles around irmingham also shows Frankley Ashes located in the Frankley Hill area. Frankley Reservoir was an ambious proCect to bring water to the ever-expanding town of irmingham 71 miles from the Elan Dalley in mid-5ales and was begun in1874. 5ater was brought via two pipelines over one metre in diameter and enrely gravity-fed at an average gradient of 1:2300 (about 4.1E)- there is a drop of only 12 metres along the whole pipeline. The proCect was opened in 1004 by Fing Edward D11. 5ithin the year some twelve million gallons we)re piped annually to Frankley Reservoir which sll provides for most of irmingham’s needs. Modern Frankley lies north of Rubery Lane about a mile south of the original se-lement and lately called New Frankley. 2t is a municipal housing development of some 3000G houses built by the City in the early 1070s to rehouse people aAected by inner-city re-development. 2n contrast to the stark inhuman geometry of Castle Dale in the 1080s, a deliberate a-empt was made here to build houses in village groups and to integrate the development around exisng trees and hedges. There are no high-rise blocks. The centre of Frankley is focussed on Holly Hill Shopping Parade on New Street/ Arden Road with the nearby Health Centre, Library and Schools. 5hen it was built, the estate straddled the irminghamI 5orcestershire boundary with the conse- /uence that some service’s were administered by irmingham City Council, some by romsgrove District Council and others by 5orcestershire County Council, Later to become Hereford J 5orcester CC. Following a oundary Commission review in 1001 the 1070s estate of Frankley all became part of irmingham. AKer the passing into law of the Housing and Local 9overnment Act in 1007, a number of residents peoned the Secretary of State to establish a Parish Council for the district: this was established in 2000 and is known as the New Frankley in irmingham Parish Council. 2t is currently the only civil parish in irmingham. 2ts all change at Frankley High School which is in the process of changing to ALAMM 5OOD ACADEMM.

    COMMUNITY COHESION STRATEGY FOR BIRMINGHAM Forward together to build a fair and inclusive city for everyone 1 CONTENTS FOREWORD EXECUTIVE SUMMARY SECTION 1 Introduction SECTION 2 Birmingham’s vision and approach SECTION 3 Building blocks for making it happen APPENDIX A Acknowledgements APPENDIX B Case studies APPENDIX C Factors affecting community cohesion in Birmingham 2 FOREWORD ______________________ A city commitment to community cohesion We want to build a fair and inclusive city for everyone who lives in, works in, and visits Councillor Tristan Chatfield Birmingham. Cabinet Member for Social Inclusion, Community Safety This strategy is our understanding of what and Equalities community cohesion means in Birmingham. It sets out a collaborative approach; one in which communities, faith organisations, public sector agencies, businesses, and individuals work alongside one another to marshal scarce resources and make more creative use of the assets and skills we have in our city and neighbourhoods. This strategy is not a ready-made solution to what is a complex challenge, but represents a collective understanding of what we can do to improve community cohesion as part of an ongoing process. We want to create an open and ongoing dialogue across the city in which we all continuously consider how our decisions, our resources, and our relationships across communities can be used to promote community cohesion. Together, we are making a commitment to ensure Birmingham becomes stronger and more resilient - a city where people from different backgrounds and organisations can come together to improve things for themselves and their communities. 3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ______________________________________ What is community cohesion? Our understanding of what makes a cohesive Community cohesion is about how we can all and resilient city has been developed in live, work, learn, and socialise together.

  • Together We Can Deliver a Cleaner, Greener, Safer Birmingham
    Building an even better Birmingham Building a City of aspiration Birmingham Conservatives Manifesto 2018 Together we can deliver a cleaner, greener, safer Birmingham Promoted by Joshua Moreton on behalf of Birmingham Conservatives, both at 1-7 Langleys Road, Birmingham, B29 6HR FOREWORD Birmingham stands at the last chance saloon After years of knowing the Council needed to restructure itself to ensure that money could be saved while protecting frontline services, the Labour administration still fails to grasp the need for change and offers no vision beyond seeking to blame others for its own failings. Birmingham is a City with so many opportunities to flourish but is being held back by a Labour administration devoid of ideas and unable to get even the basics right. This year’s move to all out elections, due to the Kerslake review of failings at Birmingham City Council, means the Council has no excuses for not finally delivering the systematic change needed. This manifesto sets out our positive vision for change that delivers the world class public services Birmingham residents deserve in a sustainable and cost-effective way that is fair to current and future tax payers. The heart of our manifesto is a vision for one city that comes together to deliver the kind of place where we all want to live, work, raise a family and grow old. It is a vision for a city that cares about its most vulnerable, that promotes aspiration across all generations and in which communities are empowered to shape and drive the change they want to see.

  • Enhancing the Population Census: a Time Series for Sub-National Areas with Age, Sex, and Ethnic Group Dimensions In
    Enhancing the population census: a time series for sub-national areas with age, sex, and ethnic group dimensions in England and Wales, 1991-2001 CCSR Working Paper 2007-11 Albert Sabater and Ludi Simpson [email protected] Ethnicity data from successive censuses are used to compare population change. This paper shows that such comparisons are often impossible, wrong or misleading. Distortions become more severe as the scale of areal units become smaller. The paper outlines the four main sources of confusion and applies solutions for England and Wales for 1991-2001. The paper presents methods that can be used to resolve these difficulties and produce more accurate results, and produces a consistent time series for single years of age, ethnic group and sex that can be aggregated from the smallest census output areas. www.ccsr.ac.uk 0 UK Data Archive Study Number 6043 - Population Estimates by Single Year of Age, Sex and Ethnic Group for Sub-national Areas in England and Wales, 1991-2001 Enhancing the population census: a time series for sub-national areas with age, sex, and ethnic group dimensions in England and Wales, 1991- 2001 Albert Sabater and Ludi Simpson [email protected] Cathie Marsh Centre for Census and Survey Research (CCSR), University of Manchester, Manchester, M13 9PL, UK Albert Sabater: Post-Doctoral Research Fellow Ludi Simpson: Professor of Population Studies 1 Enhancing the population census: a time series for sub-national areas with age, sex, and ethnic group dimensions in England and Wales, 1991- 2001 Abstract Ethnicity data from successive censuses are used to compare population change.
