Caroline coulter Member of the public 11/11/2012 18:40 I strongly object to the name of the Cranmer Ward being changed to Aslockton Ward. We are proud to be part of the Cranmer Group of Parishes and our connection with Archbishop Cranmer. We would very much desire that the name of our ward remains unchanged. Clive Williams Member of the public 12/11/2012 07:24 Retaining the Cramer ward name is important as it retains a historical link and reference to the area rather than being defined by a place name which could be confusing for areas at the proposed ward boundary. Ewan Clothier Member of the public 11/11/2012 20:12 As a resident of Scarrington I am not particularly happy at the proposed name change from Cranmer Ward to Aslockton Ward.Locally, Cranmer is a name that is held in high regard and residents have a great affection for it.Aslockton Ward seem to imply that this refers to only the village of Aslockton and does not include any neoghbouring villages.Cranmer Ward is a more inclusive name and is far more appropriate in this case. I am sure I am not alone as regards this matter.

As you are aware the ward consists of three Civil Parishes, Whatton‐in‐the‐Vale, Scarrington and Aslockton and the current name CRANMER amply describes the ward without implying any subjugation of the component parishes. Your proposed change may be taken as implying that Aslockton is more important than both Scarrington and Whatton in the Vale. The name CRANMER reflects the fact that Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury was born in Aslockton and Worshipped in Whatton‐in‐the‐Vale. As a Parish Councillor for Whatton‐in‐the‐Vale and a Local Historian I would urge you to leave the present ward name unchanged as CRANMER. Yours faithfully, GR Redford 19/11/2012 James Howard James Howard Member of the public 11/11/2012 23:37 CRANMER TO ASLOCKTON WARD: The geographic changes to satisfy the equality of voter numbers has embraced a region (Kneeton) that shares no common ground with the Aslockton nomenclature it now bears. Similarly, surrounding villages to Aslockton are to bear an Aslockton regional tag without a common identity or outlook. The Cranmer title that is to be discarded offers an historical context and a neutrality that is much appreciated in this locality and possibly preferential even to the former Oak transferees. Abandoning the Cranmer identification makes little sense, Aslockton cherishes it and it is widely embraced in this area. Extend the voting catchment but keep the CRANMER name. 18th June, 2012 Review Officer (Rushcliffe) The Local Government Boundary Commission for England Layden House, 76-86 Turnmill Street London EC1M 5LG diagrammatic Sir , When reviewing ward boundaries for West Bridgford, you may have sensed the upset caused over the Sharphill proposals. Therefore this letter is written with the purpose that the GreenBelt land due-east of Oakham Rd. , including: Spinney Hill, & Spinney Hill House &‘stables’, the field south of Wilford Hill Wood , across to due-west of Sharphill Wood ; through keeping this virtually unpopulated area out of mal-proposed-‘Nottm-Sth. &’Bridgford’; perhaps instead placing it into Ruddington Ward - land having previously been taken from , &, Spinney’House’s postal address fits - because the prominent essentially-rural GreenBelt there, should have the prospect to perpetuate. On a similar regard, Musters Ward could be custodian of the GreenBelt area east of the Old’ track bridleway (BW11) albeit to the north of West Bridgford footpath (FP28), marked for ‘community park’, in the hope that there the semi-rural aesthetic can be properly upheld. ’Sincerely, Mr. J.
