  • Agenda Item No: 6 Committee: Cabinet Date: 20Th February 2020 Report Title: Parish Street Lighting 1. Purpose / Summary to Cons
    Agenda Item No: 6 Committee: Cabinet Date: 20th February 2020 Report Title: Parish Street Lighting 1. Purpose / Summary To consider and agree future funding arrangements for Parish Council street lighting 2. Key issues • Footway lighting in the twelve Parish Council areas are owned by the individual Parish Council • Six of the Twelve Parish Councils have entered into a service level agreement with FDC for the repair, management, maintenance and provision of energy for their street lighting assets. • Six of the Parish Councils manage their own street lighting assets and have made, or are in the process of making alternative maintenance and energy arrangements • Currently the Parish Councils fund energy, repairs, maintenance and replacement costs for their own street lights either by FDC contract recharges for those who have entered in to an SLA, or through their own energy and maintenance arrangements. • FDC no longer procures street light energy from the County Council and have entered into a new meter point access number agreement with UKPN. The agreement covers lighting assets owned by the District, Clarion Housing Association and the Six Parish Councils who entered into an FDC SLA in September 2018. • An offer to join the FDC contracts remains for the Six Parish Councils who have left the FDC arrangements subject to various external factors being satisfied. This includes potential renegotiation with the existing contractor, the contract renewal dates and review of the current specifications of the lighting stock which will incur costs. It should be noted that Parish Councils would be able to join both the repairs and maintenance and energy contracts but it is not possible to join the energy scheme only if the Parish Council maintains its own stock.

  • The Reform of Gloucester's Municipal Corporation in 1835' (Pp. 311–329)
    From the Transactions of the Bristol and Gloucestershire Archaeological Society The Reform of Gloucester’s Municipal Corporation in 1835’ (pp. 311–329). by Alan Sparkes 2007, Vol. 125, 311-329 © The Society and the Author(s) 08_BGAS125_311-330 16/11/07 15:53 Page 311 Trans. Bristol & Gloucestershire Archaeological Society 125 (2007), 311 –329 The Reform of Gloucester’s Municipal Corporation in 1835 By ALAN SPARKES Gloucester’s municipal corporation evolved through a succession of medieval royal charters culminating in Richard III’s charter of 1483. Thereafter, the corporation emerged as the governing body of Gloucester and played a substantial but restricted role in the government of the city until 1974. 1 Its responsibilities were distinctly limited during the first half of the 19th century and focused on property management, charity administration and trade regulation. These activities were administered or controlled by the common council, which represented the ruling body of Gloucester’s corporation. The structure of the corporation was subjected to its first significant reform by the imposition of the Municipal Corporations Act in 1835. 2 The Act replaced the essentially private constitutions of 178 municipal corporations with new public institutions in the form of elected town councils and made provision for new ones to be created in areas of growing urbanisation. 3 It represented the first significant reform of English borough administration by public general Act. 4 The reform sought to render corporations more representative of their local communities, more accountable for their expenditure and less influential in the local judiciary, in an attempt to rationalise local government.

  • North Riding)
    YORKSHIRE (North Riding) and The City of YORK The North Riding is one of the three ancient divisions of Yorkshire, each of which functioned as an autonomous administrative unit. It was bordered to the south by the West and East Ridings, to the east by the North Sea, to the north by Durham, and to the west by Westmorland. The City of York was a county corporate, not regarded as part of any Riding, but in the local government reforms of 1974 it was joined with the North Riding to form part of the new administrative county of North Yorkshire. In 1835 the Riding appointed inspectors for 16 petty sessional divisions, and this arrangement continued until 1858 when the police force took over. Qualified inspectors were not appointed until 1901, and all of them were also police officers until 1933. The chief constable remained in charge until 1949, when the first civilian chief inspector was appointed. The ancient boroughs of Richmond and Scarborough were constituted as Municipal Boroughs in 1835 and they had separate jurisdiction over weights and measures. Middlesbrough grew rapidly in the middle of the nineteenth century, and it became a Weights and Measures Authority in 1857 and a County Borough in 1889. The City of York remained a separate authority until 1974. There are few records of specialist scale and weight makers before the 1890s, when they began to appear in York and Middlesbrough. 1 A1: Inspection by the County of YORKSHIRE (North Riding) Dates Events Marks Comments 1825 One set of standards [63] There were 13 wapentakes.

IV., c 99. Their origins pre-date this act, they were used in the assessments of local taxation under the Grand Juries. Over time many were split into smaller units and a few were amalgamated. Townlands and parishes - smaller units - were detached from one barony and allocated to an adjoining one at vaious intervals. This the size of many baronines changed, albiet not substantially. Furthermore, reclamation of sea and loughs expanded the land mass of Ireland, consequently between 1851 and 1861 Ireland increased its size by 9,433 acres. The census Commissioners used Barony units for organising the census data from 1821 to 1891. These notes are to guide the user through these changes. From the census of 1871 to 1891 the number of subjects enumerated at this level decreased In addition, city and large town data are also included in many of the barony tables.
