    Page 182 Agenda Item 6b REPORT TO: Urban Renewal Policy & Performance Board DATE: 18 June 2008 REPORTING OFFICER: Strategic Director, Environment SUBJECT: The ‘Heart of Halton’ Plaque Scheme WARDS: Borough wide 1.0 PURPOSE OF THE REPORT 1.1 Halton has many famous places, people and landmark events, all of which have in some way shaped Halton and the towns and the parishes within the borough. Currently no one record of the achievements, places or people has been brought together in one celebratory scheme. This report sets out proposals to establish such a scheme – ‘The Heart of Halton’ which would be similar to the Civic Trust’s Blue Plaque scheme. It will seek to identify and celebrate where Halton’s achievers, people and activities took place or lived. 2.0 RECOMMENDED: That 1) The Board comments on the proposal to establish the Heart of Halton scheme 2) Subject to the Board’s agreement, a further report be brought before the Board, setting out the costs and operational requirements for implementing the scheme 3.0 BACKGROUND 3.1 The towns of Runcorn and Widnes and the various borough Parishes have much to be proud of. From ground breaking scientific achievements to contributions to popular music and contemporary society being born or bred within Halton’s boundaries. 3.2 The achievements and innovation may have happened elsewhere had it not been for the way in which Halton became a centre of excellence for a number of companies and individuals who decided to build their businesses or homes in the area. Examples of Halton’s rich and varied heritage can be found in appendix 1 of this report.

The variable K could not represent simultaneously the physical stock of capital goods and the value of capital from which the rate of profit was calculated. A related critique was then offered by Piero Sraffa (1960). In place of the marginal productivity theory of income distribution, Robin- son and her Cambridge colleagues, Nicholas Kaldor and Luigi Pasinetti, argued for what they called a “Keynesian” theory of distribution in which Correspondence may be addressed to Roger E.
