THE whole of these inscriptions were copied with great care, and the same care has been extended to the printing of them; it is therefore hoped that no errors of an important character will appear in any portion of the work. A short note, descriptive of the style of the monument in regard to its shape or ornamenta­ tion, generally precedes the inscription. "Where no note occurs, the stone is plain. Dotted gaps in the inscriptions show where space has been left in the stones for the insertion of other names at a future time. A short line separates the inscriptions, and each one is comprised within inverted commas. HENEY THO? WAKE. BBIGHAM. (13. 7. 76.)

  • ALLERDALE DISTRICT WARDS REVIEW 2016 an Initial Submission
    ALLERDALE DISTRICT WARDS REVIEW 2016 An initial submission on behalf of the Labour Group of Allerdale Councillors. A. Methodology for Area allocations The starting point for this submission to the review process is that the Allerdale District is made up of seven Areas, each centred on a town as service centre and its hinterland. These areas were first defined by the County Council as part of its initiation of the “Neighbourhood Forms” concept in the late 1980s and have evolved since into the pattern now used by Allerdale Council for engagement with members and localities, shown in this map: The map was originally based on school catchment areas. Following a review of “natural communities” by the Health service in 2000, it began to be used to define primary care boundaries. Under localism and devolution policy in the 2000s it was also used to define neighbourhood policing areas, community regeneration areas, childrens centre areas, parish council groupings, and planning policy areas, amongst others. Although some organisations, under budget pressures, have resiled from earlier commitments to use these Areas for organisation and service planning, they remain the most appropriate basis for any division of Allerdale into smaller areas. Accordingly it is suggested that these Areas should be the starting point for consideration of ward boundaries – following the pattern of the parliamentary boundary review which uses counties within the Region as its starting point. The first step is therefore to define the quota, making an assumption of 48 members as the size of the Council based a) on the actual electorate in 2016 (a quota of 1576 electors); and b) on the forecast electorate in 2022 as estimated by the Elections Officer at the Council (a quota of 1622 electors).
