Our Workforce 12 | Appendix – Bassetlaw Demographic Profile 01909 533 533 3 1. Foreword As a Council, we have a duty to produce a Single Equality Scheme and this Strategy forms our next Scheme for 2021-2025, guiding our approach to increasing opportunities across the District and improving access to Council services. Bassetlaw District Council’s Equality & Diversity Strategy 2021-2025 builds on the foundations of our previous strategy to ensure that equality is further embedded into our policies, procedures and every- day working, and that we embrace diversity and recognise that everyone has their own unique needs, characteristics, skills, and abilities. The year 2020 was an exceptionally challenging year for all of us. The Covid-19 pandemic meant that the Council needed to provide extra support to the most vulnerable in society and find new ways to deliver its services. The next four years will be a critical period for the Council and its partners in ensuring Bassetlaw’s economy can bounce back from the impacts of Covid-19 and Brexit, and that residents and businesses can continue to be supported effectively. The Strategy is the next step in a journey to better understand our communities and anticipate the needs of residents and service users. The Strategy identifies five key objectives for the next four years, and the actions we will take to deliver each of these. The objectives have been identified through our ongoing conversations with residents, and analysing the latest data both internally and externally.

  • East Midlands
    Liberal Democrat submission for BCE 3rd consultation East Midlands Submission to the Boundary Commission for England third period of consultation: East Midlands Summary There is a factual error in the Commission’s report concerning the Liberal Democrat counter-proposals in the Leicestershire / Northamptonshire / Nottinghamshire / Rutland sub-region. We would, therefore, ask the Commission to reconsider the scheme we put forward. We welcome the change the Commission has made to its proposal for Mansfield. We welcome the fact that the Commission has kept to its original proposals in Lincolnshire, much of Derbyshire and Derby, and in Northampton. We consider that the changes that the Commission has made to four constituencies in Derbyshire, affecting the disposition of three wards, are finely balanced judgement calls with which we are content to accept the Commission’s view. The change that the Commission has made to the Kettering and Wellingborough constituencies would not have needed to be considered if it had agreed to our proposal for an unchanged Wellingborough seat. The Commission’s proposal to move the Burton Joyce and Stoke Bardolph ward into its proposed Sherwood constituency means that it is now proposing three Nottinghamshire constituencies (Bassetlaw, Broxtowe, Sherwood) which contain a ward which is inaccessible from the rest of the seat. We are not in agreement with the Commission’s failure to comply with the spirit of the legislation or the letter of its own guidelines in respect of these three proposed constituencies. We are not in agreement with the Commission’s failure to respect the boundaries of the City of Nottingham to the extent of proposing three constituencies that cross the Unitary Authority boundary.

In Bassetlaw, however, the first sign that spring is just around the corner is heralded by the annual Hodscock Snowdrop Festival. This event attracts visitors from far and wide to see the millions of snowdrops in fragrant winter borders. The height of summer is the time when musical, artistic and cultural activities are staged throughout the district and the rural villages of Bassetlaw abound with summer festivities. Many residents open their gardens to the public and stage spectacular village events. A leisurely walk along the Chesterfield Canal is probably one of the best ways to enjoy a long summer evening, stopping to sample the delights of one the many picturesque pubs along the way. As evenings draw in and the leaves turn to gold, the stunning autumnal displays seen in Clumber Park can easily rival those of America’s New England states.

  • Tapton Lock Learning Resources Pack
    Tapton Lock – Self-Guided Learning Resources Landscape and Heritage Activities for http://www.chesterfield-canal-trust.org.uk/waywewere.shtml Learning Outside the Classroom The story of the origins, rise and eventual decline of the Chesterfield Canal is unique. Many of its features are distinctive and have given rise to unique attributes – even the boats used on the Canal were strikingly different from those used in other regions. Nevertheless, it also encapsulates in microcosm many of the key developments and contributions made by water transport to the Industrial Revolution throughout England. (Chesterfield Canal Partnership) 1 Purpose of this pack The building and development of a canal network played a key, although short lived role in the development of UK transport and industry. This network largely remains today providing green corridors valuable to both human and wildlife populations. There is a wealth of information available from a number of organisations on the topic of canal heritage. Some of the resources here have been specifically produced for this pack although much of the content has been produced by other organisations. The pack aims to collate resources and information that will be of use to schools and settings visiting Tapton Lock and the Chesterfield Canal. All information is credited where appropriate. Please follow up any specific topic interests by following the links and if you find any element of this pack particularly useful please do contact the relevant organisation and let them know. 2 Pack contents Page

  • Family Dispersal in Rural England: Herefordshire, 1700-1871
    FAMILY DISPERSAL IN RURAL ENGLAND: HEREFORDSHIRE, 1700-1871 by KATHERINE JOAN LACK A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham March 2012 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT This thesis tested a methodology for tracing eighteenth- and nineteenth-century migrants, based on the Cambridge Group reconstitution methods. It began with a sample from Whitbourne parish in the under-researched county of Herefordshire, investigating the effect of regional urbanisation and industrialisation on migration choices. Longitudinal family dispersal patterns were traced, and comparisons were made with studies in other regions. The method focused on out-migration, setting spatial mobility in its wider context, and increasing its representativeness by incorporating additional search strategies for less visible groups, including married women. A high tracing rate was achieved, and the method is proposed as a viable tool for analysing migration from small rural parishes which are considered unsuitable for conventional reconstitution studies. The west midlands industrial areas were not apparently a destination for this population until the second quarter of the nineteenth century, but there were early migrants to Worcester, London, and later to Cheltenham, Cheshire and elsewhere, especially for domestic service and urban service trades.
