John Tyndall, co-founder of the National Front, was elected leader and Ray Hill, leader of British Movement faction, became his deputy, with much of the early funding provided by Tyndall's father-in-law, Charles Parker The BNP achieved early notoriety when, in September 1993, the party secured the election of Derek Beacon in a by-election for the Millwall ward of the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. Beacon lost his seat in the 1994 borough-wide elections. In 1997, the party fielded over 50 candidates in the general election and, qualified for a televised party election broadcast. In 1999, Nick Griffin, who joined the BNP in 1995, replaced Tyndall as BNP leader after a contested leadership election. Griffin began a programme of modernising the BNP's image, rephrasing the policy of the compulsory repatriation of non-whites and rewording it as a "firm encouragement" for voluntary repatriation. The BNP has recently been hit by an internal dispute with the rebels branding themselves as the “Real BNP” been expelled or resigned from the party. Griffin gained widespread publicity for the party in recent years following acquittals on charges of incitement to racial hatred and by speaking at a debate on free speech at the Oxford Union. 2 Electoral performance In 2002 the BNP won three council seats following racially-motivated riots in Burnley. In 2005, the BNP polled almost 193,000 votes, 0.7% of the UK total and over four times the number at the 2001 General Election. Since 2000 the BNP has advanced from 3,022 votes in the local elections to a peak of almost 300,000 votes in 2007. In the 2008 Mayor of London election, the BNP fielded a candidate and polled 69,710 first preference votes (2.9%) and 128,509 second preference votes (6.4%). 2.1 General Elections 1992 General Election In the general election of 1992, the BNP fielded 13 candidates with an average vote of 1.2%. The total number of votes polled by the party was 7,631. 1997 General Election In the 1997 general election, 57 constituencies in Great Britain had a BNP candidate. In three constituencies the number of votes exceeded the 5% threshold necessary for candidates to retain their deposit. The total number of votes polled was 35,832 representing 0.1% of the UK total. 3 2001 General Election In the 2001 general election, the BNP fielded 33 candidates. The BNP averaged 3.9% of the vote where they fielded candidates. As a share of total UK vote, the BNP gained the votes of 0.18. The BNP exceeded 5% in seven seats, thus saving their deposit – Oldham West and Royton (16.4%), Burnley (11.3%), Oldham East and Saddleworth (11.2%), Barking (6.4%), Poplar and Canning Town (5.1%), Dagenham (5.0%), and Pendle (5.0%). In Oldham West, the BNP was placed third behind Labour and the Conservatives, and 4% ahead of the Liberal Democrats by 1,577 votes. 2005 General Election In the 2005 general election, the BNP polled almost 193,000 votes, 0.7% of the UK total and over four times the number at the 2001 general election. In total the BNP saved 34 candidates deposits out of 119 candidates who contested the elections. Their average share of the vote in seats they contested was 4.3%, marginally higher than in 2001. In Barking, the BNP polled 4,916 votes representing 17.0% of the total, their best result across the UK. Richard Barnbrook came third, 27 votes behind the Conservative candidate. The party also saw their share of votes in Dewsbury and Burnley exceed 10%.

The BNP has often exploited the delicate balance of local community relations in order to consolidate its electoral support and activist base. In recent years there have been a campaign targeting immigration, multiculturalism, the freedom of religion and cultural expression of Muslims. 4 BNP vote at Local elections: 2000-2008 Position %vote in wards Year Candidates Councils Votes Seat won Total seats 1st place Runner up contested 2000 17 12 3,022 0 0 0 0 8% 2001 4 3 867 0 0 0 0 4% 2002 67 26 30,998 3 3 0 5 16% 2003 217 71 101,221 13 16 12 48 17% 2004 312 59 190,200 14 21 8 51 16% 2005 41 18 21,775 0 21 0 0 11% 2006 363 78 229,389 33 48 28 89 18% 2007 744 148 292,911 10 50 9 103 13% 2008 612 159 240,968 15 55 15 77 14% Sources: House of Commons Library and Rallings & Thrasher 2000 • Fielded 17 candidates in 12 councils and polled 3,022 votes.

  • SALFORD HEART CARE ANNUAL REPORT October 2017
    SALFORD HEART CARE ANNUAL REPORT October 2017 - September 2018 An AGM is a time to reflect on the year and a time to look to the future. Several major changes have happened during the last 12 months at Salford Heart Care. In May 2018 we moved out of our office premises at Patricroft URC. The move has enabled us to make savings amounting to more than £3,500 per year whilst reducing the risk associated with negotiating and agreeing terms of a lease agreement with the landlord. We have also established a new Bereavement Support Group and the response to this service has been remarkable. In August we received a visit from Dr Tom Tasker (Chair of Salford NHS CCG). He was very impressed with our work and our social impact, despite the “meagre” funding we require to survive. The City Mayor, Paul Dennett, Cllr Gina Reynolds and the Ceremonial Mayor of Salford have also visited our clubs during the year. We are very sorry to report the following deaths from within our membership during the year: Edna Jary, 5th November 2017 aged 90. Barbara (Liz) Davey, December 2017, aged 72. Joanne Moreton, 23rd January 2018, aged 51. Geraldine Fowler, 24th March 2018, aged 69. Derek Styles, June 2018, aged 60. Sandra Dickenson, 29th June 2018, aged 50. 1. Directors and Committee Members Salford Heart Care has 8 Directors and all currently serve on the Steering Committee. There are no changes to Directors this year. 2. 31st Anniversary and Social Events This year in August, Salford Heart Care celebrated its 31st Anniversary at The Millstones in Harrogate.

  • Alwoodley Parish – Application For
    ALWOODLEY PARISH COUNCIL APPLICATION FOR DESIGNATION OF A NEIGHBOURHOOD AREA Prepared on behalf of Alwoodley Parish Council 5 November 2013 Introduction Alwoodley, for the purposes of this application, is a civil parish created in 2008 within the City of Leeds. Some of the adjacent areas are commonly referred to as being in Alwoodley but do not form part of the civil parish. It lies some 5 miles north of the city centre on the northern edge of the West Yorkshire conurbation. The parish is on a ridge between the valleys of the River Aire and River Wharfe. It is bounded by the suburbs of Adel and Bramhope to the west, Harrogate Road to the east, Moor Allerton to the south and Harewood parish to the north. The northern part of the parish is mixed farmland in the Green Belt in which Eccup Reservoir is situated. To the north of the parish is the Harewood Estate. Moortown and Sandmoor golf courses lie within the parish together with part of Headingley golf course. There are several sports fields. The site of a Roman road crosses the parish from West to East, from Ilkley to Tadcaster, close to Alwoodley Lane. Alwoodley Old Hall stood adjacent to the site of Eccup Reservoir in the present grounds of Sandmoor Golf Club. Built in the 17th century it was demolished in 1969. Early on the 20th century Alwoodley became a leisure destination for Leeds inhabitants; before that it was an isolated agricultural community. Much of the suburban area was developed between 1920 and 1980 . Leeds Country Way and two long distance footpaths, the Dales Way and the Ebor Way, cross or lie on the edge of the parish.

  • Leeds City Council Standards Committee Annual Report 2009
    Leeds City Council Standards Committee Annual Report 2009 – 2010 Introduction The Local Government Act 2000 requires councils to set up a standards committee. Standards committees have a proactive role in creating an ethical framework which governs the relationship between high standards of conduct and transparency and openness in decision making. As a result of the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007 and the Standards Committee (England) Regulations 2008, the role of the Standards Committee also includes the local assessment of complaints made under the Member Code of Conduct. This is the Committee’s fifth Annual Report and it presents a summary of its work during the 2009-10 municipal year. The Committee’s Annual Return to Standards for England is appended to the report. This report supports the corporate governance arrangements of the Council by promoting good conduct and cascading information. Our Ambition “To help develop and maintain a climate of mutual trust and respect in which Members, officers and partners work effectively together to deliver the Council’s strategic and operational priorities and where the public can be assured that this is done in an honest, objective and accountable way.” 2 Foreword from the Chair Leeds City Council was announced as winner of the Standards and Ethics category at the Local Government Chronicle Awards 2010. The judging panel was impressed by the Leeds approach to ethical governance within the authority, and its commitment to promoting and maintaining high standards of Member conduct. Features of our work were also highlighted as a case study of notable practice in Standards for England’s most recent Annual Review.
