Swale Borough Council Election Results 1973-2011 Swale Borough Council Election Results 1973-2011 Colin Rallings and Michael Thrasher The Elections Centre Plymouth University The information contained in this report has been obtained from a number of sources. Election results from the immediate post-reorganisation period were painstakingly collected by Alan Willis largely, although not exclusively, from local newspaper reports. From the mid- 1980s onwards the results have been obtained from each local authority by the Elections Centre. The data are stored in a database designed by Lawrence Ware and maintained by Brian Cheal and others at Plymouth University. Despite our best efforts some information remains elusive whilst we accept that some errors are likely to remain. Notice of any mistakes should be sent to [email protected]. The results sequence can be kept up to date by purchasing copies of the annual Local Elections Handbook, details of which can be obtained by contacting the email address above. Front cover: the graph shows the distribution of percentage vote shares over the period covered by the results. The lines reflect the colours traditionally used by the three main parties. The grey line is the share obtained by Independent candidates while the purple line groups together the vote shares for all other parties. Rear cover: the top graph shows the percentage share of council seats for the main parties as well as those won by Independents and other parties. The lines take account of any by- election changes (but not those resulting from elected councillors switching party allegiance) as well as the transfers of seats during the main round of local election. The lower graph shows for each main round of local elections the overall percentage turnout (solid line), the percentage of women candidates standing at (dotted line) and the percentage of women among those elected (hashed line).

  • Teynham Area of Opportunity 5.5.30 Teynham Is Centrally Located Within Swale and Is One of the Largest Villages in the Borough
    Teynham Area of Opportunity 5.5.30 Teynham is centrally located within Swale and is one of the largest villages in the Borough. It is defined in this plan as a Rural Local Service Centre as it supports the needs of the existing community and the settlements around it. The village owes much of its good range of services (including primary school, GP surgery, library and retail) and public transport provision to its position along the main Roman Road Watling Street (Greenstreet). 5.5.31 Teynham village is made up of a number of historic settlements including Greenstreet, Cellar Hill and Barrow Green. The London Road running through the village marks the boundary between Lynsted with Kingsdown Parish to the south and Teynham Parish to the north. 5.5.32 The straight alignment of the London Road through Teynham owes much to its Roman origins and gives the ‘high street’ in Teynham a distinctive linear character. The presence of medieval and post medieval buildings (particularly around Cellar Hill), but also dotted along the London Road and in the countryside around the village, provide evidence of the long-standing agricultural prosperity of the area, made possible by the rich soils of the north Kent fruit belt. The arrival of the railway north of Greenstreet in the 19th century led to the growth of the village towards the train station. Subsequent development over the 20th century has filled in the land between Watling Street and the railway line. 5.5.33 The countryside around Teynham is rural and agricultural in character and use.
