Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council Election Results 1997-2012 Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council Election Results 1997-2012 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).

    Newsletter 17.5.21 EID We hope that everyone who celebrated Eid has had a lovely day. The children enjoyed celebrating Eid in school on Friday. Covid You will be aware that there has been a rise in Covid cases in the area. This rise is linked, in part, to a new Indian variant that spreads more easily. As well as getting tested if you have symptoms, it is also vital that everyone in Blackburn with Darwen continues to follow the guidelines and the ‘Hands, Face, Space, Fresh Air’ rules – as this is the most effective way to control the spread of all variants of coronavirus. A number of cases of the Covid-19 variant first identified in India have been detected across the North West. It has now been classified as a ‘Variant of Concern’, however there is currently no evidence that it causes more severe illness, is more deadly or makes the current vaccines any less effective. Public Health England is currently working to understand this variant better. The advice to everyone in Blackburn with Darwen is to be cautious of this rise in cases locally, and continue to follow the government guidance. People living in Blackburn with Darwen, are strongly encouraged to continue using free rapid testing twice weekly to keep themselves and their loved ones safe.

    Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council 2019 Air Quality Annual Status Report (ASR) In fulfilment of Part IV of the Environment Act 1995 Local Air Quality Management Date: September 2019 LAQM Annual Status Report 2019 Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council Local Authority Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council Officer Department Environment and Operations Address King William Street, Blackburn, BB1 7DY Telephone 01254 267699 E-mail Simon Kirby Report Reference ASR2019 number Date September 2019 LAQM Annual Status Report 2019 Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council Executive Summary: Air Quality in Our Area Air Quality in the Borough of Blackburn with Darwen Air pollution is associated with a number of adverse health impacts. It is recognised as a contributing factor in the onset of heart disease and cancer. Additionally, air pollution particularly affects the most vulnerable in society: children and older people, and those with heart and lung conditions. There is also often a strong correlation with equalities issues, because areas with poor air quality are also often the less affluent areas1,2. The annual health cost to society of the impacts of particulate matter alone in the UK is estimated to be around £16 billion3. There are four Air Quality Management Areas (AQMAs) in the Borough. They were declared because nitrogen dioxide levels were too high. These AQMAs are located at busy urban junctions where nearby buildings hinder the dispersion of traffic exhaust fumes: - Intack - Bastwell - Blackamoor - Four Lane Ends In general terms, there has been a gradual reduction in nitrogen dioxide exposure, and this reduction became more significant from 2017 onwards. There hasn’t been an exceedance at a relevant receptor4 during 2017 and 2018.

  • Foreword This Chronicle Commenced Sunday, February
    ‘Festina Lente’ (Be Quick Without Impetuosity) Foreword This chronicle commenced Sunday, February 15th, 1998. The time is 7 PM in the evening. I, Norman John Bury, of 8 Saunders Street Westall, Clayton South, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, have decided that it is now time to make a serious commitment to begin this challenging task, so that future generations can have access to records in some traceable form of the past movements and whereabouts of our ancestors, for the sake of our immediate families, and for all generations to come. This chronicle will be continually updated as often as practible and the latest is Wednesday, June 18th, 2003, with information gathered since the above starting point. My wife Beverley (nee Doutch), and our two sons Peter John Bury, and Mark David Bury, need first to be recorded, and their families also. Peter John Bury, wife Lynnette Anne Bury (nee Bannon), son Aron John, and daughter Naomi Anne. Mark David Bury, wife Danita Anne Bury (nee Ozinger), daughters Carly Anne, and Amber Lucy. Their timelines and genealogical information are enclosed as an appendix to this work. Since the passing of my own father (John (Jack) Bury, and his father before him, (my grandfather, John William Bury), the subsequent discovery and sorting of private documents has provided information previously unavailable to us, as most of the knowledge that is needed to weave to-gether those threads from the past has gone to rest with their passing. By contacting the Lancashire Family History and Heraldry Society, and the Lancashire Evening Telegraph, we have discovered my grandfather’s brother, Esau Bury, who was at first thought to be the older brother of five children.

  • North Turton with Tockholes Ward Profile 2011 Census
    2011 Census - simple statistics for North Turton with Tockholes ward Figure 1 - North Turton with Tockholes ward Introduction This briefing provides a summary of the 2011 Census data for North Turton with Tockholes Ward, arranged under the headings ‘Who we are’, ‘How we live’ and ‘What we do’. The original version of these briefings was based on the simple Census tables available as at January 2013. Since then, much more detailed and complex Census data has been released, but this briefing still aims to keep things as simple as possible. The only use made of the newer tables has been to introduce new or improved age breakdowns where this is felt to be of benefit. Health data is now presented by age-group, so that the reader can make fair comparisons between places with different age profiles. The ‘What we do’ section is now able to focus on the 16-64 age-group, which is probably closer to most people’s idea of ‘working age’ than the original 16-74. 1 March v.2 Introduction 2014 North Turton with Tockholes ward Who we are Figure 2 - North Turton with Tockholes population Population size (2011 Census) by age and sex The previous Census in 2001 found that the Source: Tables PP05 and PP06 population of North Turton with Tockholes was approximately 4198.

A Local Packhorse Trail In the 16th-18th centuries, Darwen was at the crossroads of several packhorse trails that crisscrossed the region.
