If the great philosopher had written a sequel called "In Praise of Jollies" history could have been very different. |

The clerk of Wimborne Minster Town Council has explained to me that the 7 co-optees agreed to resign, because otherwise the town council would have lost its general power of competency. There is one unsuccessful candidate today and they will co-opt to the final vacancy in Wimborne East at the next meeting. I am not a lawyer and this is a new one on me. David Boothroyd? Don't think we've had this, if I understand correctly Bill Jaggs, having failed to be elected, will be co-opted onto the council now. |

It's a fairly obscure provision but see: The Parish Councils (General Power of Competence) (Prescribed Conditions) Order 2012In the Schedule, section 2(1)(a) says that a resolution to exercise general powers of competence must be passed at an annual meeting where at least two-thirds of the councillors have been declared to be elected. It was a new one on me, but given Wimborne Minster Town Council covers a population of 16,000 and has an annual budget of just under £600,000 it is one of the larger parish level authorities and has consequently needs to ensure it is operating on a sound legal footing. |

I have a dim memory that some councils also share more S106 money with parish councils if they have the GPC than they do if they don't, though I'm unsure if that's statutory or just the policy of particular councils.

David, thank you for your reply and characteristic insight. I knew I could rely on you for clarification.

We had one of those last year in Whitby. As councillors we noted the poll, and got on with business. Slightly more seriously though, Newby&Scalby council is a bit anomolous, I've always felt that it should be within Scarborough Town. It's not a distinct seperate area like Eastfield, it's just continuous parts of urban Scarborough with no distinction on the ground. The 1963 boundaries map shows clear open space between Scarborough MB and Scalby UD, but by the 1930s the entire area had been built up contingously. |

My favourite calendar is local by-elections. Just ahead of the dividends calendar.

Scalby itself does feel somewhat distinct - it is separated from Scarborough town by water* and there is a clear village centre. It's certainly adjacent to urban Scarborough but still has a certain separation. The majority of the parish is rather different - Newby itself and especially areas around Newlands Park Drive are clearly urban in character and very much belong in Scarborough instead. * as an aside, this is marked on maps as Scalby Beck, but seems to have been artificially altered and appears to originate from the Derwent (which takes a very different course to the sea via Malton, Stamford Bridge, and ultimately the Ouse west of Goole). |

Yes, Scalby itself is distinct. And Scalby Beck is the Sea Cut - an artificial channel to take waters from the Derwent to control flooding. It was built around 1800, and I've never managed to work out where and how far the original river ran. From Newby Bridge (A171) downstream is clearly a natural channel, but above Newby Bridge it has been so canalised you can't tell where the original river was. |

To be fair, there's no sudden point of change if going from Scarborough to Eastfield via Osgodby either. It's a continuous built up area and the feeling of it just gradually changes. |
