The Boundary Committee for England is a committee of the Electoral Commission, an independent body set up by the UK Parliament. The Committee’s main role is to conduct electoral reviews of local authorities in England with the aim of ensuring the number of electors represented by each councillor is approximately the same. Other duties include reviewing local authority boundaries and advising the Government on local authority bids for unitary status. Members of the Committee are: Max Caller CBE (Chair) Jane Earl Robin Gray Professor Ron Johnston Joan Jones CBE Dr Peter Knight CBE DL Professor Colin Mellors Director: Archie Gall Summary On 6 February 2008 we were requested to advise the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government on an alternative unitary structure of local government in Devon. This request for advice followed a bid for unitary status from Exeter City Council. On 7 July 2008 we published our draft proposal, on which comments are invited. Our draft proposal for Devon is: • a Devon unitary authority comprising the existing county of Devon, with no changes to Plymouth and Torbay Our proposal for Devon is set out in detail in chapter 4 of the report. Maps illustrating our draft proposal are set out in Appendix B of the report. Our approach to this review, and the general and specific considerations we have had regard to in conducting our work, are set out in chapter 2 of the report. What happens next? There will now be a period of 12 weeks, during which we welcome views on our draft proposal. All representations should be sent to reach us by 26 September 2008. We have not finalised our proposal for a unitary pattern of local government in Devon. In the light of representations received, we will review our draft proposal and consider whether it should be altered. It is therefore important that all interested parties let us have their views and evidence, whether or not they agree with our draft proposal. We have also included in the report another unitary pattern that we considered had merit, which people may wish to bear in mind when considering the draft proposal: • an Exeter and Exmouth unitary authority, and a unitary authority covering the remainder of the county, with no changes to Plymouth and Torbay We welcome views and evidence from all those who have previously written to us and those we have not yet heard from. The Committee places great importance on ensuring openness and transparency in the way we deal with all representations. Accordingly, representations received will be made available for public inspection at our offices in Trevelyan House. Submissions will also be available for viewing on the Committee’s website, at www.boundarycommittee.org.uk. If you make comments during this period of the review, and do not want all or any part of your response or name made public, please state this clearly in the response. Any such request should explain why confidentiality is necessary, but all information in responses may be subject to publication or disclosure as required by law. 1 After 26 September 2008 we will consider all the representations we have received and start to formulate our final advice, which we have been asked to submit to the Secretary of State by 31 December 2008. You can express your views by using our online form at www.boundarycommittee.org.uk, or by writing directly to: Review Manager (Devon Review) The Boundary Committee for England Trevelyan House Great Peter Street London SW1P 2HW Tel: 020 7271 0512 Fax: 020 7271 0505 Email: [email protected] Once we have provided our advice there will then be a further period of four weeks during which representations may be made directly to the Secretary of State. She may then accept, reject or modify any proposal that we make. She may also ask us for more information. It will be for the Secretary of State to decide if and when any new unitary authorities are to be created. 2 1 Introduction 1.1 In October 2006, following the publication of the Local Government White Paper,1 the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government issued an invitation to two-tier principal local authorities (district and county councils) in England to submit proposals for a change to unitary or single-tier status.2 Local authorities bidding for unitary status were asked to provide business cases that addressed the five criteria set out in the invitation document. 1.2 Proposals were received for the creation of 26 new unitary authorities in total, and included a bid from Exeter City Council (Exeter) for unitary status on its existing boundaries. In December 2007 the Secretary of State announced that, in her judgement, there was not a reasonable likelihood of Exeter’s proposal, if implemented, achieving the outcomes specified in the five criteria; she particularly noted that there was a number of risks to the financial case. 1.3 We have been asked by the Secretary of State under section 4 of the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007 (the 2007 Act) to provide advice3 on whether there could be an alternative proposal for a single tier of local government for Exeter, and the whole or part of the surrounding Devon county area, that would have the capacity, if it were implemented, to meet the five criteria set out by the Secretary of State in her October 2006 invitation. 1.4 In providing that advice, we are able to propose changes to the boundaries of the city of Plymouth and the borough of Torbay, both of which are existing unitary authorities in Devon. However, the guidance accompanying the Secretary of State’s request for advice makes clear that we may only recommend changes to the boundaries of those two authorities if, on the basis of evidence received, our judgement is that such changes are essential to facilitate a unitary pattern of local government in the two-tier area of Devon that would have the capacity to meet the five criteria. Further, any changes to the boundaries of Plymouth or Torbay must maintain the concept of those areas as unitary local authorities. 1.5 There are a number of other, more general, considerations to which we are required to have regard in our work. These are set out in Appendix A. 1.6 The review is in four stages (Table 1). Stage One began on 3 March 2008, when we wrote to all the local authorities in Devon, including Plymouth and Torbay, inviting them to submit to us broad concepts for unitary structures for the county. The term ‘concepts’ is discussed in more detail in the following chapter of this report. The closing date for the receipt of concepts was 11 April 2008. 1 Strong and Prosperous Communities (Cm 6939-1, October 2006). 2 Invitation to Councils (Communities and Local Government, October 2006). 3 Request to the Boundary Committee to advise (Communities and Local Government, 6 February 2008) – www.boundarycommittee.org.uk. 3 Table 1: The stages of the review Stage Dates Description One 3 March – 11 April Commencement of review and submission of concepts for unitary patterns of local government Two 14 April – 4 July The Committee considers concepts, seeks further information and prepares draft proposal Three 7 July – 26 The Committee publishes draft proposal report September and invites representations Four 29 September – 31 The Committee considers representations, December reaches conclusions and submits advice to the Secretary of State 1.7 Once we have submitted our advice at the end of the review there will be a further four-week period, during which time representations on the advice we have provided can be made direct to the Secretary of State. In the light of any such representations, the Secretary of State may accept, reject or modify our final proposals, or ask us for further information about them and then take a decision. No Order – the legal document that would implement the final proposals – may be made by the Secretary of State within a period of six weeks from 31 December 2008. 1.8 The review timetable is extremely challenging, both for the Committee and for those who have participated in the review so far. We owe a particular debt of gratitude to all the principal local authorities in Devon for the constructive and positive approach they have taken to our work, and for the assistance they have provided to us during the initial stages of the review.

  • “'The Paranoia Was Fulfilled' – an Analysis of Joan Didion's
    “‘THE PARANOIA WAS FULFILLED’ – AN ANALYSIS OF JOAN DIDION’S ESSAY ‘THE WHITE ALBUM’” Rachele Colombo Independent Scholar ABSTRACT This article looks at Joan Didion’s essay “The White Album” from the collection of essays The White Album (1979), as a relevant text to reflect upon America’s turmoil in the sixties, and investigate in particular the subject of paranoia. “The White Album” represents numerous historical events from the 1960s, but the central role is played by the Manson Murders case, which the author considers it to be the sixties’ watershed. This event–along with many others–shaped Didion’s perception of that period, fueling a paranoid tendency that reflected in her writing. Didion appears to be in search of a connection between her growing anxiety and these violent events throughout the whole essay, in an attempt to understand the origin of her paranoia. Indeed, “The White Album” deals with a period in Didion’s life characterized by deep nervousness, caused mainly by her increasing inability to make sense of the events surrounding her, the Manson Murders being the most inexplicable one. Conse- quently, Didion seems to ask whether her anxiety and paranoia are justified by the numerous violent events taking place in the US during the sixties, or if she is giving a paranoid interpretation of com- pletely neutral and common events. Because of her inability to find actual connections between the events surrounding her, in particular political assassinations, Didion realizes she feels she is no longer able to fulfill her main duty as a writer: to tell a story.

  • Den Onde Cirkel, Isoleret I Det Ondes Cirkel
    Peter Schepelern D en onde cirkel Roman Polanskis værk i retrospektiv rvom an Polanskis første betydelige film er et kort eventyr om to mænd, der stiger op af havet, bærende på et stort klædeskab, som de så går gennem verden med; da de imidler­ tid overalt kun møder afvisning, fjendtlig­ hed og vold, vender de sluttelig tilbage til havet, de kom fra. I dette svendestykke, »To mænd og et skab« (Dwaj ludzie z szafa) - som Polanski lavede i 1958, endnu mens han gik på film­ skolen i Lodz - finder man flere af de motiver, der bliver gennemgående i hans produktion. Som pessimistisk spådom om hans egen kunstneriske karriere har den dog vist sig ubegrundet. De værker, Polanski gennem en snes år er kommet slæbende med, hentet op fra inspirationens lunefulde urhav, er blevet mødt med ret så megen forståelse og entusi­ asme og står centralt både i den kritiske litteratur og i publikums bevidsthed. Hans karriere begyndte med teaterroller allerede i drengeårene, og i 1953-60 - da han gik på filmskolen - havde han roller i 11 polske film, deriblandt Wajdas »En genera­ tion«, »Lotna« og »De uskyldige trold- mænd«. I sin filmskoletid instruerede han fem kortfilm - foruden »To mænd og et skab« også diplomfilmen »Gdy spadaja z nieba anioly« (dvs. Når englene falder fra himlen) om en gammel toiletkone, der drømmer om sin ungdom. Efter et par novellefilm, af hvil­ ke »Le Gros et le Maigre« blev produceret i Frankrig, fik han i 1962 som 29-årig1 mulig­ hedfor at lave sin første spillefilm. »Kniven i vandet« (Noz w wodzie) placerede ham med ét slag blandt de vigtigste i den bølge af moderne instruktører, der manifesterede sig så originalt i mange lande i 60’ernes begyn­ delse: Skolimowski, Makavejev, Forman, Rocha, Guerra, Straub, Kluge, Oshima, Cas- savetes, Bellocchio, Bertoluccio og andre.
