ABSTRACT L0CAL AUTHORITY POLICIES; INDUSTRIAL RESTRUCTURING AND·THE UNEMPLOYMENT CRISIS: AN EVALUATION OF·THE·FORMATION·AND·IMPACTS OF LOCAL-ECONOMIC 1NrtfATIVES IN ct~VELAND 1963 - 1982 Master of Arts Submission; Department of Geography, University of Durham There is a conspicuous absence in the literature on local authority economic policies of any wide searching analysis of local Government as an institution of the state and component of the overall State structure. This research on economic policy development in Cleveland has arisen from the need to undertake a more indepth critical approach to understanding the mechanisms of local economic policy formation in relation to State intervention in the economy. The major objectives of this research are: ( 1) Analyse and evaluate State economic policy initiatives in the Teesside and Cleveland economy with particular emphasis upon the development of local government policies; (2) From the above analysis, identify central constraints upon the formation and implementation of policies and consider the underlying reasons for there being a gap between policy objectives and outcomes as well as the existence of conflicts and tensions which arise in the course of policy development. The Study concentrates upon two major components of local government economic policy: industrial land allocation (in relation to steel and chemicals), industrial estate provision and urban renewal in Middlesbrough - the latter two policies forming a central plank in achieving objectives for diversifying the local economy. After discussing the emergence of consensus policies about perceived problems and solutions the Thesis concentrates upon the impacts of these policies. These impacts can be identified in the restructuring operations of ICI and BSC which have been facilitated by local authority infrastructural provision 7 land management policies and Regional Development Grant expenditures. The Thesis argues that with the failure to attract new service and other types of v growth v industry to compensate for job losses in the base manufacturing industry the local economy is undergoing a severe structural crisis giving rise to unemployment rates the highest in mainland Britain. The current situation owes much to the forces of international competition and changes in the international division of labour in petro-chemical production 7 the mobility of capital and general responses to the crisis in profitability (in the case of BSC, crisis in financial structure). This crisis has sharpened the conflict of interests over policy objectives - between the environmental lobby, interests representing 'capital intensive' industries, community groups 7 small businesses, central Government etc. The Thesis concludes by analysing how these developments raise critical questions about whether there is still a consensus around policy objectives and about the possibilities of local and central State economic planning.

    at Dalton Piercy, Elwick and Hart Produced for the Villagers by Hart and Elwick Churches Rev. Canon Janet Burbury, The Vicarage , Hart, Hartlepool, TS27 3AP [email protected] Tel 01429 262340 Mob 07958 131271 Dear Friends Our churches are setting their 2019 budgets and deciding how much to offer the central funds which pay for all our legal structures, training, vicarages, stipends, church schools, safeguarding training and so on. Elwick and Hart try hard to raise our giving each year whilst bearing in mind the cost of maintaining our buildings, insurance, heating, resources, office equipment etc. Can we make money and our human economy sacred? Money can be the enemy of our better instincts blocking our generosity as we listen to that internal voice, “I can’t afford to”. Money is never a popular subject. Greed for it makes humanity raid the earth’s resources with too few courses of action to secure its sustainability and when politicians seek money rather than public good we call them worse than dirt. It’s been said that we cannot serve both God and Mammon. I know money do wonders to help society but on balance we more often than not feel those plastic looking folding notes are the root of many evils. Perhaps the biggest problem of money is the way we’ve come to see the physical aspects of life as separate from the sacred and holy. Once people decided that their folklore gods left their for- ests to live in the skies we started to think God is up there out of our world sitting on the clouds out of reach to us below.

  • Newsletter Oct-Nov 2012
    Newsletter 1 of St. George’s URC Hartlepool OctOct–––– Nov 2012 Dear Friends, During my childhood there was a calendar hanging in our dining-room which was a picture of ‘the Boston Stump’. I always wondered where and what it was, but did not find out until last weekend. Well, they say that it is never too late to learn something! The Church of St. Botolph, Boston in Lincolnshire, affectionately known as ‘the Stump’ perhaps because it has the appearance of a tall tree with its branches lopped for felling, is the largest building in England that has always been a parish church. It is actually bigger than some cathedrals I have seen, standing about 250 feet high and 340 feet long. The building of the present church is believed to have begun in 1309, replacing an earlier Norman church, but the earliest church was founded in the seventh century by an Anglo- Saxon missionary monk called Botolph. The town was originally called Botolph’s Stone, which got shortened to Boston. When the church was first planned, Boston possessed a port that did more business than anywhere in England except London, and wool was the main export. Boston stands on ‘the Grand Sluice’, where fenland drains converge into The Haven, a tidal river that empties into the Wash. Mer- chants from all over Europe went to Boston in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries for the Great Fair which began on St. Botolph’s Day, 17 June, when they bought wool and cloth and sold their wines and furs. Sadly, by the time that the building was finished, the great days of Boston’s commercial prosperity had passed, but then Boston be- came a religious centre.

In June 1986, as part of our mandatory cycle of reviews of non-metropolitan county boundaries under Section 48(1 ) of the Local Government Act 1972, we commenced a review of the County of North Yorkshire and its boundaries with Cleveland, Durham and Lancashire. Our Report (No. 569) was submitted to your predecessor on 20 December 1988. 2. In a letter dated 17 May 1990, the then Secretary of State for the Environment notified us of his decision not to implement at that stage our recommendation that the village of Cowbar be transferred from Cleveland to North Yorkshire. He agreed with our other proposals, for minor changes to the boundary between North Yorkshire and Durham, and made an Order under Section 51(2) of the Local Government Act 1972 which gave effect to these other proposals from 1 April 1991. 3. We had based our recommendation in respect of Cowbar on our earlier perception that the village was isolated from the remainder of Cleveland and that it was closely identified with Staithes in North Yorkshire, which provides facilities for shopping and other immediate needs.

  • Northeast England – a History of Flash Flooding
    Northeast England – A history of flash flooding Introduction The main outcome of this review is a description of the extent of flooding during the major flash floods that have occurred over the period from the mid seventeenth century mainly from intense rainfall (many major storms with high totals but prolonged rainfall or thaw of melting snow have been omitted). This is presented as a flood chronicle with a summary description of each event. Sources of Information Descriptive information is contained in newspaper reports, diaries and further back in time, from Quarter Sessions bridge accounts and ecclesiastical records. The initial source for this study has been from Land of Singing Waters –Rivers and Great floods of Northumbria by the author of this chronology. This is supplemented by material from a card index set up during the research for Land of Singing Waters but which was not used in the book. The information in this book has in turn been taken from a variety of sources including newspaper accounts. A further search through newspaper records has been carried out using the British Newspaper Archive. This is a searchable archive with respect to key words where all occurrences of these words can be viewed. The search can be restricted by newspaper, by county, by region or for the whole of the UK. The search can also be restricted by decade, year and month. The full newspaper archive for northeast England has been searched year by year for occurrences of the words ‘flood’ and ‘thunder’. It was considered that occurrences of these words would identify any floods which might result from heavy rainfall.
