They constitue a total of about 9.5% of all UK constituencies (seats) ! --Wipsenade (talk) 10:59, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

Cher-ching, it's snow joke!


With the snow ploughs bravely holding on in Aberdeenshire and Northumberland, it will be intresting weather the lack of gritting and ploughing in places like Northamptonshire and Buckinghamshire or freezing old people in Cumbria and Yorkshire will affect voter sentiment in any of the seats in the December of 2010 and January of 2011? Other factors are that university entry fees going up in England, students and youths rioting, the credit crunch carrying on, Liberal Democrats' opinion poll ratings slumping and petrol prices rising. Both credit crunched Banbury, Stalybridge and Hyde, and Tyneside North, the matter of cash may play a role here to! We have seen little evidence of the Big Society, there is a lot of evidence of a littel socity and just enough of the plans for the much vaunted HS2's passage through Buckinghamshire.--Wipsenade (talk) 16:38, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

It has a number of interesting features including a towpath which runs alongside the River Lagan. The towpath is popular with walkers, runners, cyclists, dog owners etc. It is a very scenic and peaceful area and is ideal for walking, cycling etc. The towpath begins in the Stranmillis area of south Belfast and runs all the way to Lisburn. The cycle route forms part of National Cycle Route 9.
