Gateshead 1973-2012 Gateshead Council Election Results 1973-2012 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. The lower graph shows for each main round of local elections the overall percentage turnout (solid line), the percentage of women candidates standing at (dotted line) and the percentage of women among those elected (hashed line).

  • Local Bus Links in Newcastle Designing a Network To
    Local bus links in Newcastle Designing a network to TYNE AND WEAR meet your needs INTEGRATED TRANSPORT AUTHORITY Public consultation 15 March - 4 June 2010 Local bus links in Newcastle Designing a network to meet your needs Public consultation People in Newcastle make 47 million bus journeys annually - that’s an average of more than 173 journeys a year for every resident! Nexus, Newcastle City Council and the Tyne and Wear Integrated Transport Authority (ITA) want to make sure the network of bus services in the area meets residents’ needs. To do this, Nexus has worked together with bus companies and local councils to examine how current services operate and to look at what improvements could be made to the ‘subsidised’ services in the network, which are the ones Nexus pays for. We have called this the Accessible Bus Network Design Project (see below). We want your views on the proposals we are now making to improve bus services in Newcastle, which you can find in this document. We want to hear from you whether you rely on the bus in your daily life, use buses only occasionally or even if you don’t – but might consider doing so in the future. You’ll find details of different ways to respond on the back page of this brochure. This consultation forms part of the Tyne and Wear Integrated Transport Authority’s Bus Strategy, a three year action plan to improve all aspects of the bus services in Tyne and Wear. Copies of the Bus Strategy can be downloaded from www.nexus.org.uk/busstrategy.

  • Matter 7 Hearing Statement
    Hellens Group May 2019 g Matter 7 Hearing Statement Local Plan Examination in Public 2019 The Strategy, Housing Growth Areas and Safeguarded Land for Washington This matter considers the strategic policies (SP3, SS2 and SS3) and the Housing Growth Areas (HGA1-HGA6) for Washington. Hellens Group Matter 7 Hearing Statement May 2019 i Issue 1 – Strategic Policies Q1.2 Are Policies SP3 and SS2 justified and effective? 2.1 To be justified a policy must be “the most appropriate strategy, when considered against the reasonable alternatives, based on proportionate evidence”. To be effective it must be “deliverable over the plan period and based on effective joint work on cross-boundary strategic priorities” (paragraph 182 of the NPPF 2012). Policy SP3 relates to the strategy for the Washington sub-area which includes the metropolitan area of Washington and the village of Springwell. The Policy proposes a number of economic, town centre and strategic housing growth policies which include Green Belt releases. Hellens Group supports the Council’s approach to Green Belt release and the recognition at paragraph 4.28 of the Regulation 19 Draft Core Strategy that “without alterations to the Green Belt, the plan would not be able to accommodate housing needs, especially in the north of the city (Washington and North sub-areas).” 2.2 Turning to national planning policy, the NPPF states that Green Belt boundaries should only be altered in exceptional circumstances, through the preparation or review of the Local Plan (paragraph 83 of NPPF). Paragraph 4.26 to 4.29 describe the process that has been gone through to establish these exceptional circumstances.

    GATESHEAD. Gateshead, Northumberland. 3rd. or 4th. October 1705. This was the first large scale disaster for which there is any reliable evidence. In ‘ The Compleat Collier,’ ‘J.C.’ includes an eye witness account of the accident. “How it came to pass he could not give me an exact Account, any further then by what the Banck’s-Men, and those who were about the Pit, and heard the blow, and see what it threw out of the pit, and shatter’d about the Gins: There was one thing very strange in it, as I was told, That a Youth of 15 of 16 Years of Age, was blown up the Pit and Shaft, and carried by the blast about 40 Yards from the shaft, the Corps was found all intire, save the back part of his head, which was cut off, though the Shaft is said to be odd of sixty Fathoms deep, which is an Argument of the mighty Force this Blast is of.” The explosion which caused the deaths of over thirty people, is the first that is recorded. It occurred on the 3rd. of 4th. October, 1705. The names of the victims appeared in ‘The Newcastle Daily Chronicle’ of 1880 which quoted the Burial Register at St. Mary’s' Church. “These were slain in a coal-pitt in the Stony Flatt which did fire.
