Tears, tea and a seat won by drawing lots: How Tories took key Red Wall council

The barman at the stately Keele Hall looked on bored. He’d been told he wasn’t allowed to serve alcohol all day. “I don’t know why,” he shrugged. “Some people here look like they need a drink.” Thus went the Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough council election count – a poll that was both as tight as you like and of a political importance that will now resonate all the way to Westminster. “What happens…

Queen Elizabeth II statue unveiled in Newcastle-under-Lyme

A unique statue of Queen Elizabeth II has been unveiled in Newcastle-under-Lyme. Commissioned by Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council to mark the town’s 850th anniversary in 2023, the design is based on photographs of Her Majesty taken during her visit to the town in 1973 to mark the 800th anniversary. The cost of the statue has been met by two donors. Staffordshire digger maker JCB and Capital&Centric, the developers currently working on the multi-million pound regeneration of Newcastle town centre, each donated half the cost. Cast in bronze, the statue is one-and-a-quarter times life size, but, unusually for a memorial to a Monarch, stands only a few inches above ground level in the town’s Queens (crt) Gardens. Simon Tagg, Leader of Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council, took part in the unveiling. He said: “This wonderful statue of the late Queen Elizabeth is unique to Newcastle-under-Lyme and inextricably linked to our history and our celebrations of the town’s 850th anniversary. “Not only does it acknowledge our past links with the Monarchy, and the contemporary celebration of Newcastle-under-Lyme’s heritage, but it also looks to the future: I like to think that by our 900th anniversary in 2073 this statue will be a notable and much-loved part of the town’s landscape and the young children here today will be telling their grandchildren how they were present for its unveiling.” JCB Chairman Anthony Bamford said: “I am delighted to support the installation of this statue, commemorating the remarkable life of service of Queen Elizabeth. “The late Queen visited Staffordshire many times during her reign and it’s wonderful to honour her in this way in our county.” Tim Heatley, co-founder of Capital&Centric, said: “Newcastle is undergoing a renaissance with our multi-million pound plans to reboot three town centre sites. “This new statue will provide another reason for people to visit and is a fitting way to commemorate the Queen’s visit.” Local sculptor Andy Edwards is internationally renowned for a series of statues including the Beatles at Pier Head in Liverpool, Sir Stanley Matthews in Stoke-on-Trent, Sir Alex Ferguson in Aberdeen and ‘All Together Now’ – an installation of opposing soldiers shaking hands over a football to symbolise one of the most famous events of the First World War. He based his sculpture on images of the Queen in Newcastle-under-Lyme on 25th of May 1973 and it is modelled on the hat, clothes and shoes the Monarch was wearing, as well as the posy and handbag she was carrying. Mr Edwards said: “The loss of Queen Elizabeth is still deeply felt through the country and by countless people around the world. “She was a symbol of duty, responsibility, constancy and dignity and I believe that people are comforted to be reminded that The Queen knew of the respect and deep affection in which she was so widely held. This artwork was commissioned and designed to express that connection.” The statue, weighing one ton, stands close to a statue of Queen Victoria, Queen Elizabeth II’s great-great-grandmother, which was unveiled by Grand Duke Michael of Russia in November 1903. The unveiling ceremony was hosted by the Mayor of Newcastle-under-Lyme, Cllr Barry Panter, and those attending included His Majesty’s representative the Lord Lieutenant of Staffordshire Ian Dudson CBE; Tim Heatley, the co-founder of Capital&Centric; and JCB’s chief operating officer Mark Turner. Also present taking part were pupils from St Giles & St George’s CoE Academy in recognition of the fact the school once stood on the site of Castle House.

Shropshire Council has appointed Mark Barrow as its new Director of Place.

Mark, who was born in Shrewsbury and lives in Whitchurch, will take up his new post next month (October 2018).

In his role he will be responsible for a wide range of council services, including economic growth, highways and transport, planning, waste and recycling, libraries and museums.

Mark Barrow

Mark joins Shropshire Council from leading private sector consultancy, Arcadis where for the past four years he has led their public sector work across the Midlands and northern England. As their Director for Local Government Solutions he has been leading a number of key commissions for councils, combined authorities and health organisations.

Mark’s previous positions include the Strategic Director for Development & Culture at Birmingham City Council and Chief Executive of Newcastle under Lyme Borough Council.

A Chartered Building Surveyor by profession, Mark started his career with the former Shropshire County Council, before developing his career at various city, county and borough councils across the UK.

Mark Barrow said:

“As a proud Salopian I am passionate about making Shropshire as successful and attractive as it can be. Like all councils we face tough financial challenges, but we also have a huge amount of opportunity to help grow and develop the county to everyone’s benefit. I am looking forward to working with councillors, colleagues and key partners to deliver the essential services and economic growth that we all want to see.”

Clive Wright, Chief Executive of Shropshire Council, said:

“I’m delighted to welcome Mark to Shropshire Council and look forward to working with him. Mark has a wealth of experience in both delivering high quality services to residents as well as driving economic growth and development and investment in infrastructure. His commercial background and track record of delivering big projects will also be important in helping realise Shropshire’s ambitions.”

Mark is a Visiting Professor: Urban Policy & Development at Birmingham City University and is an Associate of the Local Government Information Unit for whom he regularly authors ‘briefing’ papers across the public sector.

Bouygues wins £12m Keele Uni innovation hub

Bouygues UK has won the job to build a smart innovation hub for Keele University with a bid just below £12m.

The firm was up against Bardsley, Wates and G F Tomlinson for the three-storey building bringing together a university management school and incubation space for new and developing businesses.

The Hub will also create an environment that enables ‘open innovation’ by encouraging sharing of ideas, knowledge and expertise between businesses, academic researchers, the public sector and consumers.

The 47,000 sq ft building designed by architects BDP will be located at the entrance to Keele University as part of the Science and Innovation Park.

Professor Trevor McMillan, Keele University Vice-Chancellor, said: “This is a big step in our capacity to support our local economy, local businesses and local community by enabling closer interaction between the businesses and various parts of the University, in particular the Management School which will be housed in the same building.”

The creation of the Smart Innovation Hub will form part of the New Keele Deal – a plan for £70m of investment by Keele University, Staffordshire County Council, Stoke-on-Trent City Council, Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council, University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust and the Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire Local Enterprise Partnership to exploit the potential of Keele University’s research and facilities.

Image caption Some students saying they had been unable to vote despite registering

Some students at Keele University say they have been unable to vote after being told their “names were not on the list” at polling stations.

Keele Students Union Council chairman Tom Snape said up to 100 students had contacted it about problems so far.

Labour candidate Paul Farrelly told the Independent he was going to report the borough council to the Electoral Commission over the “shambles”.

Newcastle-Under-Lyme Borough Council said it would investigate the reports.

West Midlands election results and live coverage

Student Lucy Walker said she registered to vote last month but was among a “ridiculous number of students” who had been unable to vote.

She said she was told her “name was not on the list” at polling stations at Keele Village Hall and the students union.

Electoral ‘chaos’

Biomedical sciences undergraduate Andrew Niblett, 18, said in his group of five friends who applied to vote in the area just one had been correctly registered.

The electoral office told him it was because he did not provide ID when prompted online, he said.

“But the thing is I was never prompted to provide ID and also one of my friends, who was prompted, provided ID and it got verified and they still got turned away.”

Mr Farrelly, who served as the constituency’s MP for 16 years, said the “chaos” was “denying people votes on a scale unprecedented in my 30 years fighting and organising elections”.

A council spokesman said: “Where people haven’t completed the online process, it’s unfortunate, but if they haven’t completed the process they can’t be registered to vote.”

He added those affected by out-of-date electoral lists had been able to vote after polling staff verified they were on the register.
