Northampton has the second largest expanse of Parks and Open Spaces in the country and I would argue that it also has some of the best. In many cases, the Parks and Open Spaces we enjoy today are the legacy of our Victorian and Edwardian ancestors who saw the value in developing these spaces for all of Northampton to enjoy.

Abstract This thesis provides an examination of the emergence and development of Sir Oswald Mosley’s British Union of Fascists in the Midlands between 1932 and 1940. It charts the fascist presence in four major cities: Birmingham, Stoke-on-Trent, Coventry and Leicester. The BUF is the largest and most important fascist movement to have ever existed in Britain. Mosleyite fascism in the Midlands as a region has never before been investigated and represents a significant gap in the historiography of British fascist studies. Alongside affording valuable insight into Mosleyite fascism at the regional level, the study will illuminate further understanding of the BUF nationally.

  • The Importance of Green Spaces to East Midlands Communities
    Report Number 567 Nature for people: the importance of green spaces to East Midlands communities English Nature Research Reports working today for nature tomorrow English Nature Research Reports Number 567 Nature for people: the importance of green spaces to East Midlands communities Simon Bell, Nina Morris, Catherine Findlay, Penny Travlou, Alicia Montarzino, Diana Gooch, Gemma Gregory and Catharine Ward Thompson. January 2004 You may reproduce as many additional copies of this report as you like, provided such copies stipulate that copyright remains with English Nature, Northminster House, Peterborough PE1 1UA ISSN 0967-876X © Copyright English Nature 2004 Executive summary This report describes the results of research into the importance of nature to East Midlands’ communities, as experienced through publicly accessible green spaces. It was undertaken for English Nature by the OPENspace Research Centre based at Edinburgh College of Art/Heriot Watt University. The research was undertaken over the spring and summer of 2003 using a combination of qualitative and quantitative research methodologies (section 1.1). Aim of the Project The aim of the project was to specify the contribution that “nature” in green spaces make to people’s social well-being by examining the use people make of, and the feelings that they have towards, a selected number of artificial and natural green space sites throughout the East Midlands. As this was a regional study, the sites were selected to fall more or less equally in each of the region’s counties. Its findings may be significant at a national level as well, having relevance to other UK regions (section 1.3).

  • Muslims in Leicester
    OSI.MIE.LEIC.PF3:Layout 1 3/3/10 9:19 PM Page 1 AT HOME IN EUROPE # M U S L I M S I N L E I C Muslims in E S T E R Leicester Whether citizens or migrants, native born or newly-arrived, Muslims are a growing and varied population that presents Europe with challenges and opportunities. The crucial tests facing Europe’s commitment to open society will be how it treats minorities such as Muslims and ensures equal rights for all in a climate of rapidly expanding diversity. The Open Society Institute’s At Home in Europe project is working to address these issues through monitoring and advocacy activities that examine the position of Muslims and other minorities in Europe. One of the project’s key efforts is this series of reports on Muslim communities in the 11 EU cities of Amsterdam, Antwerp, Berlin, Copenhagen, Hamburg, Leicester, London, Marseille, Paris, Rotterdam, and Stockholm. The reports aim to increase understanding of the needs and aspirations of diverse Muslim communities by examining how public policies in selected cities have helped or hindered the political, social, and economic participation of Muslims. By fostering new dialogue and policy initiatives between Muslim communities, local officials, and international policymakers, the At Home in Europe project seeks to improve the participation and inclusion of Muslims in the wider society while enabling them to preserve the cultural, linguistic, and religious practices that are important to their identities.

  • Appendix One Methods of Sampling
    Appendix One Methods of Sampling Hilary Land The sampling had a number of novel features and is described in full in this appendix. A multi- stage stratified design was used in which, with the exception of Belfast, every household had an equal probability of selection. Our aim was to achieve completed interviews with approximately 2,000 households in the United Kingdom. The sampling procedure can be considered in four main phases: 1. The division of the United Kingdom into appropriate regions. 2. The selection of a primary area unit for sampling within each region and the selection of a suitable variable by which to stratify these units within each region. 3. The selection of suitable secondary area units within each primary area unit and the selection of a suitable stratification factor. 4. The final selection of addresses and conversion into a sample of households. The Choice of Regions The first question is the division of the United Kingdom into regions. Our object was to limit the number to as few as possible while preserving a representatively wide geographical spread of the eventual sample. A small number would allow reasonable methods of stratification to be applied so that about fifty areas could be selected - these fifty being about the maximum for effective and economical interviewing for an achieved sample of around 2,000 household interviews. Official statistics are usually based on the twelve standard regions of the United Kingdom or the eleven planning regions. These are identical, except for south-eastern England, as shown below. Standard Regions 1. South-Eastern Greater London, Surrey, Sussex and Kent.
