Following the Supreme Court case of Miller (R (Miller and another) v Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union [2018] AC 61) the United Kingdom Parliament enacted the European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Act 2017 authorising the Prime Minister to notify under article 50(2) of the Treaty on European Union (TEU) the UK’s intention to 2 withdraw from the European Union. On 29 March 2017 the Prime Minister, in a letter addressed to the European Council (EC), gave notice under article 50(2) of the TEU (the “article 50 notification”) of the UK’s intention to withdraw. [2] Can that notice be unilaterally revoked by the UK acting in good faith such that the United Kingdom could continue to be a member of the European Union after 29 March 2019 on the same terms and conditions as it presently enjoys?

  • ST Andrews Newsletter Feb 2021.Pdf
    News from Saint Andrew’s Conservatives NewsUpdate Hornchurch & Upminster Conservatives New Year Edition 2021 Update from Cllr John Mylod I want to update residents in St Andrews on several things being bought to my attention recently. I have recently been working with the St Andrews Safer Neighbourhood Team to address concerns about the potential for criminality at the Abbs Cross end of Devonshire Road, due to poor street lighting. After consultation, the street lighting team have said they will look into adequately lighting up the area, and working together, we can make St Andrews safer. In Dorrington Gardens, there has been a mobile Covid-19 testing unit recently, of which the Department for Health have now agreed will be a permanent testing site, for local residents to use to get tested. If you need to book a test use the NHS Covid-19 app, or visit the NHS or Havering website to book online. This is to ensure we stop the spread of Covid-19 and keep our community safe. Fly tipping locally has been a concern of several residents, and although Havering has regular rubbish collections, I am still aware that fly tipping is ongoing in St Andrews, especially in the country lanes. Should you know of any rubbish being tipped locally, please call 01708 434343, or email me at [email protected] Julia Lopez MP Julia has been working hard for the local area over Christmas and into the New Year, and also as a minister in the Cabinet Office. In December, Julia was proud to be a ministerial sponsor of the EU (Future Relationship) Bill which passed into law over the Christmas break, cementing the new trade deal between the EU and UK.

    A P R I L - J U N E 2 0 1 8 Chelmsford Civic Society M i n d f u l o f C h e l m s f o r d ' s H e r i t a g e a n d S h a p i n g I t s F u t u r e Chelmsford’s Future by: Malcolm Noble The City’s businesses have just voted to establish a Business Improvement District (BID) in Chelmsford. The idea is that businesses will pay an additional levy that will fund projects of benefit to the City and its economy. The Civic Society will apply for associate membership. The Society is proposing that Chelmsford should apply for UK City of Culture status in 2025. The Sunday Times has voted Chelmsford as ‘the best place to live in the East of England’; ‘there has been an extra spring in its step since it was granted city status in 2012. The station has been refurbished, Anglia Ruskin University’s old site has been turned into 845 homes, shops and offices; Bond Street has been redeveloped with an Everyman Cinema, a White Company and a John Lewis store." The emphasis though is on education, with good schools, Chelmsford College, Writtle and Anglia Ruskin Universities. However, there is a long way to go before we can realise fully the objectives set out in the City Council’s application for city status in 2012: to ‘make this a truly Great Place to live, work and learn’. The Civic Society has submitted detailed responses to the consultation on the Local Plan.

As in 2013 we received a superb welcome from the city. We continue to ask all attendees to complete an online feedback questionnaire. A good percentage complete this but I would urge all members to take the time to participate. It is incredibly useful to the conference office and FCC and does influence whether we visit a venue again and if we do, what changes we need to try and make. FCC Changes Following the committee elections at the end of last year there were a number of changes to the membership of FCC. Qassim Afzal, Louise Bloom, Sal Brinton, Prateek Buch, Veronica German, Evan Harris and David Rendel either did not restand or were not re-elected. All played a valuable role on FCC and will be missed. We welcome Jon Ball, Zoe O’Connell and Mary Reid onto the committee as directly elected members. FPC have elected two new representatives onto FCC and we welcome back Linda Jack and Jeremy Hargreaves in these roles. Both have previously served on FCC so are familiar with the way we work. One of the FE reps is also new with Kaavya Kaushik joining James Gurling as an FE rep on FCC.
