Through the lens of descriptive representation, this thesis focuses on the 2010 general election as a case study. Interviews are conducted with Conservative female and ethnic minority MPs, and a former candidate to determine why the number of Conservative female and ethnic minority MPs increased in 2010. Three reasons for the increase are examined; competition with the Labour Party, internal pressure from party elites, and David Cameron’s leadership.

  • Bedfordshire Walking Festival
    OPEN DAILY APRIL TO AUGUST 2019 Welcome... to the 10th Annual Bedfordshire Walking Festival Few would have thought the Bedfordshire walking festival would still be taking place ten years on and in a county most people seem to ignore. True it may not be the Cotswolds nor the South Downs but Bedfordshire is a compact county with three distinctive types of walking. The Chalk Hills in the south, the picturesque, wooded undulating area in the middle referred to as the Greensand Country, and a mixture of woodland and the open space in the undulating "Wolds" of the north. Located in England's driest region, this attractive county is a great place to explore on foot and so easy to get to by road, rail, air and water as many have already found. Combine with a great range of walks. led by knowledgeable and friendly leaders, and it becomes easy to see how the festival has grown and grown. To mark the 10th anniversary, and in addition to walks across the county, we have set up Hub's at Woburn, Bedford's Priory Park and Ampthill Park on three of the nine days from where walks will start and from where walking relative information can be obtained. Enjoy a stroll through history at Woburn Abbey The walks and events in the programme are colour coded enabling you to easily select the type of walks • which appeal and the centre page map will enable you to find their location. Explore the award-winning, historic gardens Most of the walks and events are free and do not require a booking however some need to be booked • because there is either a restriction on numbers or because transport has to be organised.

  • Bute Street to Luton Station) Footpath Diversion Order 2008
    APPENDIX A THE LUTON (BUTE STREET TO LUTON STATION) FOOTPATH DIVERSION ORDER 2008 STATEMENT OF GROUNDS FOR CONFIRMING THE ORDER 1. The purpose of the Order is to divert a section of the footpath which runs between Bute Street and Midland Road in Luton. The path is part of an important pedestrian link between the High Town area of Luton to the north; Luton Station, and via Bute Street; the town centre further south. The Order proposals relate to the Footbridge between Bute Street and Luton Station. There is some lateral diversion proposed by the Order, but its main effect is to divert the path from a footbridge to ground level. The purpose of this Order is to provide improved access and inclusive environment for the mobility impaired, and people with mobility vehicles, the vulnerable young and old in accordance with the Disability Discrimination Acts (DDA) 2005 and policy for the mobility impaired. The footbridge also does not provide convenient access to cyclists, people with pushchairs or heavy luggage. 2. The environment of the Order footbridge and stairs to Bute Street are in substantial need of significant improvement. An improved footbridge and stairs however, would be less desirable than an at-grade footpath, in particular for users of the buses, ground level car park and cycle and motor bike stands on Station Road and in the future the proposed transportation improvements to the Luton Station Area. An upgrading the footbridge would not provide value for public money. 3. The whole path from Bute Street to Midland Road (shown in Appendix A) is accommodated on a railway footbridge which 10/5 provides both the public right of way and station access, and which has three elements: (a) At the southern end stairs ascend from the highway footway in Bute Street to a footbridge span of approximately 110 metres which extends north to join the upper level of Luton Station.
