Horbury and South Ossett Ward InstantAtlas™ Server 6 Wakefield Ward Profile Selection: Horbury and South Ossett Ward Introduction The Wakefield district is divided into 21 wards, with each ward being represented by three councillors. Councillors are elected by residents of the district and are responsible for making decisions about local services and budgets, such as Council Tax, on behalf of the local community. Each councillor serves for a period of four years. The ward boundaries are reviewed periodically, and the current boundaries were last altered in 2004. Horbury and South Ossett Ward is situated towards the west of the District, and contains the settlements of Horbury, Horbury Bridge, Horbury Junction, Ossett Low Common and south east Ossett. The ward is bounded by the River Calder to the south and east. Selected landmarks: Horbury Town Hall Horbury Lagoons Carr Lodge Park Profile created: 9/1/2017 Population Profile Population Size The most accurate population estimates are produced every ten years from the Census. These are updated annually using administrative data to produce mid- year population estimates. The mid-2014 estimates show that the size of the resident population in Horbury and South Ossett Ward is 15,024 people. The tables below shows the percentage breakdown by age groups and gender. The actual number of people in each age group is shown in brackets.

In 2001, the district's ethnic population represented just 3.3% of the total population, but the 2011 Census shows this has risen to 7.2%. This proportion, though, is much lower than the England average of 20.2%. A large part of the district increase in the ethnic minority population has been due to immigration from Eastern Europe, particularly from Poland. There has also been continued immigration from South Asia, and a small but growing number of people immigrating from Africa. The ethnic mix for this area is shown in the table below.

    Our ref: 2387/21 Figures for incidents of drink spiking in your region over the last 5 years (year by year) I would appreciate it if the figures can be broken down to the nearest city/town. Can you also tell me the number of prosecutions there have been for the above offences and how many of those resulted in a conviction? Please see the attached document. West Yorkshire Police receive reports of crimes that have occurred following a victim having their drink spiked, crimes such as rape, sexual assault, violence with or without injury and theft. West Yorkshire Police take all offences seriously and will ensure that all reports are investigated. Specifically for victims of rape and serious sexual offences, depending on when the offence occurred, they would be offered an examination at our Sexual Assault Referral Centre, where forensic samples, including a blood sample for toxicology can be taken, with the victim’s consent, if within the timeframes and guidance from the Faculty for Forensic and Legal Medicine. West Yorkshire Police work with support agencies to ensure that all victims of crime are offered support through the criminal justice process, including specialist support such as from Independent Sexual Violence Advisors. Recorded crime relating to spiked drinks, 01/01/2016 to 31/12/2020 Notes Data represents the number of crimes recorded during the period which: - were not subsequently cancelled - contain the search term %DR_NK%SPIK% or %SPIK%DR_NK% within the crime notes, crime summary and/or MO - specifically related to a drug/poison/other noxious substance having been placed in a drink No restrictions were placed on the type of drink, the type of drug/poison or the motivation behind the act (i.e.

  • Wakefield, West Riding: the Economy of a Yorkshire Manor
    WAKEFIELD, WEST RIDING: THE ECONOMY OF A YORKSHIRE MANOR By BRUCE A. PAVEY Bachelor of Arts Oklahoma State University Stillwater, Oklahoma 1991 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS May, 1993 OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY WAKEFIELD, WEST RIDING: THE ECONOMY OF A YORKSHIRE MANOR Thesis Approved: ~ ThesiSAd er £~ A J?t~ -Dean of the Graduate College ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am deeply indebted to to the faculty and staff of the Department of History, and especially the members of my advisory committee for the generous sharing of their time and knowledge during my stay at O.S.U. I must thank Dr. Alain Saint-Saens for his generous encouragement and advice concerning not only graduate work but the historian's profession in general; also Dr. Joseph Byrnes for so kindly serving on my committee at such short notice. To Dr. Ron Petrin I extend my heartfelt appreciation for his unflagging concern for my academic progress; our relationship has been especially rewarding on both an academic and personal level. In particular I would like to thank my friend and mentor, Dr. Paul Bischoff who has guided my explorations of the medieval world and its denizens. His dogged--and occasionally successful--efforts to develop my skills are directly responsible for whatever small progress I may have made as an historian. To my friends and fellow teaching assistants I extend warmest thanks for making the past two years so enjoyable. For the many hours of comradeship and mutual sympathy over the trials and tribulations of life as a teaching assistant I thank Wendy Gunderson, Sandy Unruh, Deidre Myers, Russ Overton, Peter Kraemer, and Kelly McDaniels.

  • THE HISTORY of CLARENDON VILLAS FOREWORD Whilst Researching the Material for My First
    THE HISTORY OF CLARENDON VILLAS FOREWORD Whilst researching the material for my first ‘House History’ project, ‘Highfield House & Sowood House’, (2010), I collected a great deal of information concerning other neighbouring land and buildings. After a great deal of thought I decided it was a shame not to make use of this material. The result of this decision was the production of two more Local/House History publications. My second project ‘The History of the South Ossett Triangle’ is a potted history of the land shaped like a triangle, bordered by three roads, now called Horbury Road, Manor Road and Sowood Lane. On this land was built the Parish Church, the Vicarage and the two Schools. This third project I have called ‘The History of Clarendon Villas and Greystones House’. These two new books (along with the Highfield and Sowood House one) complete a Trilogy of publications covering all the large houses as well as the Ecclesiastical Buildings on this area of land, built in the 19th Century. Clarendon Villas, is situated on Horbury Road, up the next driveway to Highfield House & Cottage. (Access is now from Vicar Lane) The bottom of the garden of Greystones House backed onto the garden of Highfield Cottage. The daughter of the family who lived in part of Highfield House, Gwen Hopkins, married John Judge and they bought No 18b (which included the garden) of Greystones. My parents allowed Gwen to come into our garden and pass through our garage in order to visit her parents, thus saving about a half mile journey! I have tried my best to verify all the information used in this publication but mistakes do happen and I crave your indulgence for any that may have been made.

  • The Records of the Manor of Wakefield: a Unesco
    When quoting from this resource, please acknowledge the author and YAHS. THE RECORDS OF THE MANOR OF WAKEFIELD: A UNESCO-RECOGNISED RESOURCE Brian Barber This introduces the records of the manor of Wakefield and describes the role which the Yorkshire Archaeological and Historical Society has played in their survival and interpretation. Since 1943, the Wakefield court rolls and related records in Wakefield manorial archives have come into the ownership of YAHS. In 2015, the society transferred them to the safekeeping of the Special Collections department of the University of Leeds Brotherton Library, where (subject to the physical condition of individual items) they remain available to all. The greater part of the court rolls, the rolled parchment (and, from the mid-eighteenth century, paper) files of its court proceedings – known as ‘court rolls’ – are of major historical significance. Their national importance to the history of Great Britain was recognised in 2011 when they were entered on the UK National Register of the Memory of the World by the UK National Commission of UNESCO. A catalogue of the Wakefield manorial archives, and information about how to access them, can be found at: https://library.leeds.ac.uk/special-collections- explore?archiveRefCode=%22YAS%2FMD225%22 For more than a century, the society has been working to promote the study of the rolls and to uncover their contents. Up to the present (December 2017), the outcome has been the publication of twenty-five volumes of records relating to the manor, containing the text of dozens of court rolls. Most of the volumes are still in print and available for purchase, or are available via the YAHS website (see below).
