hippo girl 1,995 Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 broxtowe became a borough in 1978 so it might be 1977..the names are Edna, ann, stanley, roy, cyril, vic, bill, ray, walter, alan,archie,len,ken,den,jack,norris,arthur,jim,frank, and ali Quote Link to post Share on other sites
littlebro 234 Posted February 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Kev, No Reginald Gore in the photo, but that name rings a distant bell. There was a Gore family living off Grove Avenue Chilwell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bamber 128 Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Local Government Act of 1972 abolished County Boroughs (such as Nottingham), Municipal Boroughs (such as Mansfield), Urban Districts (such as Beeston & Stapleford) and Rural Districts (such as Basford). So the last meeting of Beeston UDC must have been in March 1974 as Broxtowe came into being on April 1st 1974. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nice one Bamber. Beeston and Stapleford UDC used to have elections every 3 years: 1964, 1967, 1970 etc. Due to the Maude Report B&S UDC became part of the enlarged Broxtowe District Council. The councillors elected in 1970 had their term of office extended past the normal election date of first week May 1973 and sat until March 31st 1974. Broxtowe District Council members were elected in May 1973 and shadowed B&S UDC, Basford (part) and Eastwood UDC (part) for the 11 months between May 1973 and April 1974. Some councillors sat on both authorities. Broxtowe became a Borough Council in late 1977. I will leave you guessing about the names, I know them all. Some on the back row are officers, not councillors. At least one is still with us, well known in Beeston area - 2 points if you identify him. (And no, it's not me, I'm not that old!)
