This report is the result of research carried out by the Centre for Voluntary Action Research at Aston Business School into information about the black and minority ethnic (BME) population living and working in Shropshire, the level of engagement of BME people with existing voluntary and community organisations in Shropshire and its adjacent administrative areas, and the scope for developing BME-led voluntary and community organisations in Shropshire. There is a history of anecdotes about BME people’s negative experiences of living and working in Shropshire. This new report confirms that they can face disadvantage and inappropriate service provision. It highlights their isolation and the scarcity of county networks and organisations from which they can seek information. Many find religious and social support outside Shropshire. This re-confirms the inappropriateness of referring to “communities” of BME people. Rather there is confirmation of people living and working in relative isolation, with occasional geographical or occupational groups being the exception rather than the rule. Summary of Research Findings Some baseline information • There is a small but growing BME population in Shropshire – it has risen from 0.7% in 1991 to 1.2% in 2001 (3,431 people). This figure is likely to under- represent the actual number. • Chinese and Mixed Ethnic Groups are the highest proportion. • The BME population tends to be younger than the general population, with a higher proportion of under 16 year olds. • Shropshire’s BME population does not live in deprived areas. There is no correlation between wards with high indices of deprivation and a higher BME population, as found in many urban areas. • The BME population tends to be dispersed across the county in very low numbers. • There appears to be no statistical data about the main BME languages spoken in Shropshire. 1 Centre for Voluntary Action Research Study into the needs of BME people living and working in Shropshire Final Report 24 August 2005 The Voluntary Sector • The research found only three existing voluntary and community sector projects that cater specifically for BME people within Shropshire. • Research participants did not distinguish between public and voluntary sector services. They generally reported not having enough information about what services are available, and said that such information needed to go ‘beyond mere signposting’. • Research participants named six Voluntary and Community Sector projects based in Telford. Two Telford based organisations had assisted the development of BME-specific services in Shropshire. Barriers to accessing services 1. Geography and demography BME people in Shropshire face a dual challenge. First, the low concentration of BME people is itself a barrier to the development of BME specific services. Second, the distance between a service and a potential user is a barrier to access. 2. Lack of language support One of the most frequently cited barriers to accessing services was the lack of language support for BME people. This includes the ability to understand the processes of public sector providers – schools and health care in particular. 3. Reluctance to seek support Study participants identified that victims of racial harassment and racially aggravated crime were reluctant to seek help and draw attention to themselves. In response to this issue, Victim Support Shropshire have established a specific BME project. Improving Voluntary and Community services for BME people Study participants identified five areas: 1. Development of self-help groups for BME people. Voluntary and Community organisations’ role was seen as crucial because of their community development experience. 2. Give BME people a voice to bring about changes in public service delivery. 3. Establish long-term and sustainable access points where BME people can find out about voluntary and community sector services. Making connections with organisations outside and across administrative boundaries. 4. Improve the cultural sensitivity of public services. Public agencies have statutory duty to tailor their services to the needs of minority groups and to combat racism. They have substantially more 2 Centre for Voluntary Action Research Study into the needs of BME people living and working in Shropshire Final Report 24 August 2005 resources than voluntary and community organisations to address the challenges faced by BME people in Shropshire. Research participants feel that Hospitals, Job Centres, Education and Youth Services need to do more. 5. Closer collaboration between public and voluntary sectors. There is a need for more effective liaison on BME issues. Service Level Agreements could require joint diversity or awareness-raising training. Public sector agencies need to take a lead in supporting BME people in Shropshire. The role of the Community Council of Shropshire This research has met its objectives of testing anecdotal evidence about the views of Shropshire’s dispersed BME population. It has also given insightful information into BME people’s relationship with the community and voluntary sector. CCS now sees its role to: • Ensure that local, regional and national agencies are well informed about baseline information for BME people in Shropshire. In particular, assumptions and approaches that work to engage BME “communities” in urban areas do not often translate to a rural county such as Shropshire with a wide dispersal of BME people • Encourage and support the establishment of BME self-help groups • Work with the voluntary sector on the significant challenge of providing information and services to a widely dispersed population • Support arrangements for joint projects and promote examples of good practice • Encourage public sector service providers to address the issues raised in the research • Work to improve communication with BME initiatives in Telford & Wrekin, and other areas outside Shropshire. 3 Centre for Voluntary Action Research Study into the needs of BME people living and working in Shropshire Final Report 24 August 2005 Introduction to the Final Report This is the Final Report of a study carried out by the Centre for Voluntary Action Research on behalf of the Community Council of Shropshire. The aims of the study are: i. To provide baseline information about the black and minority ethnic (BME)population living and working in Shropshire ii. To establish the level of engagement of BME people with existing voluntary and community organisations (VCOs) in Shropshire as well as adjacent administrative areas and iii. To assess the scope for the development of BME led VCOs in Shropshire. In Part One we set out our approach to this study. In Part Two we outline the broader context in which the Study took place. In Part Three we address Aim One of the study and establish a baseline of data about BME people in Shropshire. In Part Four we address Aim Two of the study and set out the key study findings from our

  • The Implementation and Impact of the Reformation in Shropshire, 1545-1575
    The Implementation and Impact of the Reformation in Shropshire, 1545-1575 Elizabeth Murray A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts United Faculty of Theology The Melbourne College of Divinity October, 2007 Abstract Most English Reformation studies have been about the far north or the wealthier south-east. The poorer areas of the midlands and west have been largely passed over as less well-documented and thus less interesting. This thesis studying the north of the county of Shropshire demonstrates that the generally accepted model of the change from Roman Catholic to English Reformed worship does not adequately describe the experience of parishioners in that county. Acknowledgements I am grateful to Dr Craig D’Alton for his constant support and guidance as my supervisor. Thanks to Dr Dolly Mackinnon for introducing me to historical soundscapes with enthusiasm. Thanks also to the members of the Medieval Early Modern History Cohort for acting as a sounding board for ideas and for their assistance in transcribing the manuscripts in palaeography workshops. I wish to acknowledge the valuable assistance of various Shropshire and Staffordshire clergy, the staff of the Lichfield Heritage Centre and Lichfield Cathedral for permission to photograph churches and church plate. Thanks also to the Victoria & Albert Museum for access to their textiles collection. The staff at the Shropshire Archives, Shrewsbury were very helpful, as were the staff of the State Library of Victoria who retrieved all the volumes of the Transactions of the Shropshire Archaeological Society. I very much appreciate the ongoing support and love of my family.

For Victorian and later writers the Watt steam engine became synonymous with industrial growth and progress in Britain. Today Muirhead’s biographies remain the major source for scholars of James Watt, his life and achievements. Muirhead was born in Lanarkshire in 1813 the son of Lockhart Muirhead who was principle librarian and regius professor of natural history in Glasgow University. His maternal grandmother was the first cousin of James Watt. Muirhead was educated in Glasgow College and later Balliol College, Oxford, practising law in Edinburgh for eight years before moving to Haseley Court in Oxfordshire. In 1844 Muirhead married Katharine Elizabeth, daughter of Matthew Robinson Boulton and granddaughter of Matthew Boulton, the manufacturer and entrepreneur. During his time at Oxford Muirhead became acquainted with James Watt, jnr who later requested Muirhead to write the memoir of his father.

  • Rural Settlement List 2014
    National Non Domestic Rates RURAL SETTLEMENT LIST 2014 1 1. Background Legislation With effect from 1st April 1998, the Local Government Finance and Rating Act 1997 introduced a scheme of mandatory rate relief for certain kinds of hereditament situated in ‘rural settlements’. A ‘rural settlement’ is defined as a settlement that has a population of not more than 3,000 on 31st December immediately before the chargeable year in question. The Non-Domestic Rating (Rural Settlements) (England) (Amendment) Order 2009 (S.I. 2009/3176) prescribes the following hereditaments as being eligible with effect from 1st April 2010:- Sole food shop within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £8,500; Sole general store within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £8,500; Sole post office within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £8,500; Sole public house within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £12,500; Sole petrol filling station within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £12,500; Section 47 of the Local Government Finance Act 1988 provides that a billing authority may grant discretionary relief for hereditaments to which mandatory relief applies, and additionally to any hereditament within a rural settlement which is used for purposes which are of benefit to the local community. Sections 42A and 42B of Schedule 1 of the Local Government and Rating Act 1997 dictate that each Billing Authority must prepare and maintain a Rural Settlement List, which is to identify any settlements which:- a) Are wholly or partly within the authority’s area; b) Appear to have a population of not more than 3,000 on 31st December immediately before the chargeable financial year in question; and c) Are, in that financial year, wholly or partly, within an area designated for the purpose.
