  • Banking in Cark-In Cartmel
    An undated photograph produced by the firm of Woolfall & Eccles (later T M Alexander & Son), architects of the Midland Bank, 119, Station Rd. Cark in Cartmel1 Banking in Cark-in Cartmel In today's high street the bank is becoming a rarity and 2017 will see the closure of another branching the Cartmel Peninsula; the National Westminster Bank in Main Street, Grange over Sands.2The banks are leaving the small market town high street but in the late nineteenth and for the first half of the twentieth century they were part of the local landscape in not only market towns, but even villages and hamlets such as Cark in Cartmel. Until 1826, banks were essentially private merchant banks but the Bank Act of 1826 permitted joint stock banks of issue with unlimited liability to be established. The Lancaster Banking Co. was one such bank which was set up in 1826 and existed until 1907 when it was taken over. For over seventy years, the hamlet of Cark in Cartmel, Cumbria had three banks ; the Lancaster Banking Co. which according to the Bulmer's Directory of 19113 was located at Bank House, Station Rd. and opened initially on Fridays ; the York City and County Banking Co. which became 1 HSBC archives April 18th 2017 2 The Westmorland Gazette, Thursday, March 31st. 2017 3 Bulmer's Directory of 1911. the London and Joint Stock Bank Ltd. was also located at 119 Station Rd. ; and the Bank of Liverpool and Martin's Ltd. which was located opposite at 114 Station Rd. All three banks were characterised by the fact that the banking premises occupied only one room of the building that they occupied and in addition were staffed by one member of staff , which in the case of the Midland and Martin's banks was the bank manager from either the Ulverston or Grange branch.

  • List of Recognised Overseas Pension Schemes Notifications
    List of Recognised Overseas Pension Schemes Notifications This list contains some of the overseas entities that have told HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) they are Recognised Overseas Pension Scheme (ROPS) under section 169(2) Finance Act 2004 HMRC can’t guarantee these are ROPS or that any transfers to them will be free of UK tax. It is your responsibility to find out if you have to pay tax on any transfer of pension savings. HMRC will usually pursue any UK tax charges (and interest for late payment) arising from transfers to overseas entities that do not meet the ROPS requirements even when they appear on this list. This includes where taxpayers are overseas. HMRC will also charge penalties in appropriate cases. Tax relief is given on pensions to encourage saving to provide benefits in later life. Accessing benefits (directly or indirectly) before age 55 will result in a liability to UK tax charges in all but the most exceptional circumstances. You should seek suitable professional advice including from a regulated financial adviser.

  • Environment and Economy Overview Committee Insert Item
    Page 1–LTP Passenger Transport Strategy Agenda Item: Environment Insert and Economy Item Overview No. Committee Date of Meeting 19 January 2016 Officer Head of Economy Local Transport Plan 2011 – 2026: Passenger Transport Subject of Report Strategy Executive Summary This Passenger Transport Strategy has been developed as part of the County Council’s Holistic Transport Review and provides a framework for the programmes of work arising from the review in a way that is consistent with the objectives included in the Local Transport Plan for Bournemouth, Dorset and Poole (LTP3). The Holistic Transport Review aims to reduce the County Council’s revenue spend on passenger transport services by £1.5m over the thee-year period to March 2018. The review incorporates all activities including commissioning, procurement and administration of vehicles and transport related services including 3rd party providers. The overall objective of LTP3 is to “seek a balanced, low carbon transport system which limits the most damaging effects of car usage and provides real choice in alternatives to the private car”. Impact Assessment: Equalities Impact Assessment: An equalities impact assessment was undertaken during development of LTP3. Whilst the Passenger Transport Strategy PDF processed with CutePDF evaluation edition www.CutePDF.com Page 2–LTP Passenger Transport Strategy proposes no new policies, it is likely that reduced funding for public transport support and any resultant reduction in service will have a disproportionate impact on older people, young people and those without access to a motor car, since people in these groups are likely to make greater use of bus services. Use of Evidence: Consultation undertaken during the development of LTP3.
