East Keswick
East Keswick is a village and civil parish in the City of Leeds metropolitan borough, West Yorkshire, England. It lies four miles south west of Wetherby. The population of the civil parish as of the 2011 census was 1,146. Etymology The name of East Keswick is first attested in the Domesday Book of 1086, in the forms ''Chesinc'' and ''Chesing''. This name comes from the Old English words ''cēse'' ('cheese') and ''wīc'' ('dwelling, specialised farm'), and thus once meant 'farm specialising in cheese production'. The ''ch-'' spelling in the Domesday Book reflects the usual Old English pronunciation (also found in modern English ''cheese'').

1996 Leeds City Council Election
The Leeds City Council elections were held on Thursday, 2 May 1996, with a third of the council up for election. The Conservatives suffered another routing, although with a less impressive Labour vote and a slight recovery in their own vote, were able to hold on to three seats. Labour furthered their stranglehold on the council with an additional seven gains, with all but Burmantofts (Liberal Democrat) and Pudsey South (Independent) from the Tories. As a result of the gains, those two wards - along with the Tory losses of Aireborough, Halton, Morley North and Weetwood wards - were now represented entirely by Labour (a first for most). The other Labour gain was snatching the remaining Tory seat in the former Tory-Liberal battleground of Otley & Wharfedale. The Lib Dems offset their loss to Labour in Burmantofts with gains from the Tories in Horsforth and the newly three-way marginal North ward. The results, however, were a disappointment to the Lib Dems - evidenced by their poo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
1988 Leeds City Council Election
The Leeds City Council election was held on Thursday, 5 May 1988, with one third of the council and a vacancy in Headingley to be elected. Following national patterns, the newly merged Social and Liberal Democrats, seen a substantial fall in vote to their lowest share in a decade, with former candidates standing against them as SDP in opposition to the merger. The SLD collapse was largely uniform, mostly transferring to Labour, except in northern wards - where support tended to disperse between the main parties and any minor candidate standing (usually Green or the aforementioned breakaway SDP) - or wards in which Independents stood. Importantly for the SLD, their support in the three wards they were defending notably withstood that collapse, although hopes of retaking Armley after their councillor turned Independent were dashed by large swings away to allow a Labour gain there (with Michael Meadowcroft later alleging racist campaigning by Labour). Elsewhere, the incumbent Inde ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
