    Community Governance Review of Haslingfield Parish

    Community Governance Review of Haslingfield Parish Terms of Reference www.scambs.gov.uk 1. Introduction 1.1 South Cambridgeshire District Council has resolved to undertake a Community Governance Review of the parish of Haslingfield. 1.2 This review is to address the population growth in respect of the new housing development at Trumpington Meadows: to consider whether the creation or alteration (and thus naming) of existing parish boundaries and any consequent changes to the electoral arrangements for the parish(es) should be recommended. 1.3 In undertaking this review the Council has considered the Guidance on Community Governance Reviews issued by the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, published in April 2008, which reflects Part 4 of the Local Government and Public Involvement in HealthAct 2007 and the relevant parts of the Local Government Act 1972, Guidance on Community Governance Reviews issued in accordance with section 100(4) of the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007 by the Department of Communities and Local Government and the Local Government Boundary Commission for England in March 2010, and the following regulations which guide, in particular, consequential matters arising from the Review: Local Government (Parishes and Parish Councils) (England) Regulations 2008 (SI2008/626). (The 2007 Act transferred powers to the principal councils which previously, under the Local Government Act 1997, had been shared with the Electoral Commission’s Boundary Committee for England.) 1.4 These Terms of Reference will set out clearly the matters on which the Community Governance Review is to focus. We will publish this document on our website and also in hard copy.

    Help to Heat Local Authority Flexible Eligibility Statement of Intent

    APPENDIX 2 Energy Company Obligation: Help to Heat Local Authority Flexible Eligibility Statement of Intent On behalf of Action on Energy Cambridgeshire including: Cambridge City Council, East Cambridgeshire District Council, Fenland District Council, Huntingdonshire District Council and South Cambridgeshire District Council. Date of publication: **TBC** Version: 1.4 URL: [insert webpage SOI has been published on] 1) Introduction 1.1. Fuel poverty in England is measured using the Low Income High Costs (LIHC) indicator, which considers a household to be fuel poor if: they have required fuel costs that are above average (the national median level); and were they to spend that amount, they would be left with a residual income below the official poverty line.1 1.2. Nationally the 2015 figures for England estimate that 2.5 million households suffer from fuel poverty, 11% the total.2 Living in a cold home doubles the risk of respiratory problems in children; increases the risk of minor illnesses; exacerbates existing conditions such as arthritis and is associated with 3 times the level of excess winter deaths as the warmest homes.3 1.3. Action on Energy Cambridgeshire is a collective of the city and district councils that work together for mutual benefit in addressing fuel poverty. We welcome the introduction of Flexible Eligibility as part of the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) as it will allow us to support additional vulnerable households under broader criteria. 1.4. Fuel Poverty is a serious concern in our county and affects over 19,000 households4 contributing to more than 800 Excess Winter Deaths on average each year.5 Although our collective actions helped reduce fuel poverty across the county by an estimated 1468 households from 2013-2015 however there is still more to be done.

The Eastern region was allocated 57 constituencies under the initial and revised proposals, a reduction of one from the existing allocation. In formulating the initial and revised proposals the Commission decided to construct constituencies using the following sub-regions: Table 1A - Constituency allocation Sub-region Existing allocation Allocation under initial Allocation under revised proposals proposals Bedfordshire 6 6 6 Cambridgeshire, 27 27 27 Hertfordshire and Norfolk Essex 18 17 17 Suffolk 7 7 7 2. Under the initial proposals six of the existing 58 constituencies were completely unchanged. The revised proposals continued to retain six of the existing constituencies unchanged. Under both sets of proposals it was proposed to have two constituencies that crossed county boundaries - one between Cambridgeshire and Norfolk, and one between Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire. In Suffolk, Bedfordshire and Essex it was possible to allocate a whole number of constituencies to each county. 1 3. In response to the consultation on the initial proposals and secondary consultation the Commission received over 2,000 representations regarding the Eastern region. These representations commented on most parts of the region, with the main issues being: ● The proposed constituency of North East Hertfordshire.

    1 | Page Statement from Hinxton and Other South Cambridgeshire Parish Councils to the Uttlesford District Council Planning Polic

    Statement from Hinxton and other South Cambridgeshire Parish Councils to the Uttlesford District Council Planning Policy Working Group meeting, Thursday 31 May 2018 Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the proposed North Uttlesford Garden Community. Although I speak for Hinxton, my comments are fully supported by the chairs of the parish councils of Ickleton, Duxford, Pampisford, Whittlesford, Little Abington, and Great Abington - that is, by all those parishes in South Cambridgeshire that are directly affected. It is clear that Uttlesford is not proud of this proposed new town. You could not have pushed it further away. More than half of its edge is actually defined by the Essex-Cambridge county boundary. What a bizarre site for a town purporting to provide homes for people working in Uttlesford! Whatever the short-term political convenience of this choice, it has profound long-term implications for our parishes. We abut on half the proposed new town boundary, but we shall have to bear far, far more than half of the infrastructural and amenity costs. This is because the town would be high in our River Cam watershed, with all the flooding and pollution management implications bearing on our down-stream villages. It is because the town would be on top of the main aquifers of our water supplier, Cambridge Water, but not of yours, Affinity Water. It is because the traffic for the new town cannot possibly rely on the winding road to Saffron Walden. It will overwhelmingly be forced onto the already congested roads of South Cambridgeshire. It is because, over the years while the new town grows, the costs of its health, education and other needs will unavoidably be borne by our nearby communities in South Cambridgeshire.
  • Paper on the Origins of the MONKS Surname

    Paper on the Origins of the MONKS Surname

    monksname.doc The Derivation in England of the Family Names of MONK and MONKS, (and their phonetic variations). Based on research by Peter MONCK.1 Overview The names evolved from William LE MOIGNE, from St Lo in Normandy who came to England with William the Conquerer. In French the name means “the Monk”. King William gave Le Moigne the manor of Owers in Devon, where he settled. In England the name evolved to MOIGNE, MOINE, MOYNE and MOYGNE (with and without the prefix ‘le’). The Latin version of the Norman name, as used in medieval times in the church, was MONACHUS, from which DE MONACHO, MONIAC, MONKYS and the many phonetic variations of MONK and MONKS derived (for example: MONKE(S); MONCK(S); MUNKE(S); MUNCKE (S); MOUNK(S); MOUNKE(S)). A clear evolutionary trail for these early developments of the name is obtained from records associated with property owned by the families over several centuries, as illustrated below. More recently, from the late 18th century, parish records show variations within the one family group (for example children and grandchildren of William MONKS and Ann née FLOOK, who married at Holy Trinity, Stapleton, Gloucestershire, in 1765, were christened variously as MONKS, MONK, and MOUNKS.) Ralph, a son or grandson of William Le Moigne, was held in sufficient esteem by Henry 1st to be created a Grand Sergeant (a member of the inner court) and Larderer- in-Chief to the Kings of England. For this service he was granted 50 hides of land in five manors: Shipton Moigne in Gloucestershire (21 hides); Maddington in Wiltshire (4 hides); Great Easton in Essex (10 hides); Owermoigne in Dorset (10 hides); and Lambourne in Berkshire (5 hides).
