Parliamentary Seat
The current Member of Parliament for Saffron Walden is Sir Alan Haselhurst M.P. a Conservative a deputy speaker to the House of Commons. He has held the seat for over 30 years (since a by-election in 1977) the seat was previously held by Peter Kirk and R.A Butler both Conservatives. Saffron Walden is a largely rural constituency in North-West Essex. It is by far the biggest constituency in Essex, but it is not just about farming. There are a host of small businesses - many of them high-tech - and there is also Stansted Airport.
The size of the constituency makes clarification important. Many of the postal addresses relate to towns outside the constituency and in some cases to other counties. There are two medium sized towns within the constituency; Saffron Walden and Great Dunmow. They both have historic links, and are still regarded as some of the finest, most quintessential market towns in England - wonderful for shopping in independent stores, and home to an array of traditional crafts - and some more original ideas. The constituency has important transport links. The M11 motorway runs from north to south at its western end, almost parallel with the West Anglia Main Line railway (King’s Lynn / Cambridge to London Liverpool Street). And there is the Airport itself, Stansted being London’s third airport and the fastest growing in the country. Saffron Walden is, quite literally, an hour away from both London and Europe.
Saffron Walden Town Council
The Conservatives are the current majority (12 to 3) on Saffron Walden Town Council. The Conservatives gained control of the Town Council from the Liberal Democrats in 2007 after almost a decade out of control. The Council is lead by Major Sarfraz Anjum, a Conservative.
Uttlesford District Council
The Conservatives are the current controlling party on Uttlesford District Council. They took control of the Council in 2007 after four years of Liberal Democrat control.

Conservative Future

effects of the crusades
increased trade and economy-
• during the wars many crusaders awed the exotic goods they found in the middle east
• after returning home people saw these goods and merchants and traders traveled to Middle east and traded for the goods, some being silk, spices, sugar, art, literature
• with all this trade many port cities were being established all throughout Europe.
• these merchants and traders then became very wealthy and Europe’s economy then began to shift from a barter economy to a money economy, now that many people were becoming wealthy.
• because there were many different types of money moneychangers were needed thus the institution of the bank appeared
• with this money economy the middle class grew to power and Europe’s economy flourished
• as the economy flourished food produce increased greatly and the population grew
• as the population grew the demand for homes and shelter increased
• thus man new cities and towns were built
Decline of Feudalism-
• however, this money economy also indirectly hurt feudalism
• because many Kings and Queens were spending a lot of money on parties and war materials they began to plunge into debt.
• know that Europe’s economy was increasing the surfs had more money and in order to pay off their debts king allowed their surfs to be free
• as people began to be free they no longer needed the support of kings and other people
• in addition the rise of towns and guilds greatly hurt feudalism as well
• people no longer needed the land of a lord to b given to them because they could buy their own land
• Kings began to hire soldiers and build armies so they no longer needed knights
• society then became more stable and safe because people didn’t rely on each other.
• which eventually led to the successful period in European history known as the Renaissance

Scarborough Fusion Radio is an Internet radio station broadcasting from University of Toronto Scarborough (UTSC) in Scarborough, Ontario. It is run by students of UTSC and members of the Scarborough community, and is owned and operated by Scarborough Campus Community Radio Incorporated (SCCR Inc.) Funding for SCCR is provided by a student levy collected from all full-time UTSC students, currently in the amount of $2.00 a semester. Due to a referendum held in January 2007, this levy is expected to increase, starting September 2007 to $3.50 a semester. This levy is meant to be used towards acquiring an FM licence so that Fusion Radio may better serve the Scarborough Community.
Formerly a closed circuit station broadcasting to *selected locations on the UTSC campus, Fusion Radio has a typical campus radio format and a complete broadcast line-up. Fusion Radio is a member of the National Campus and Community Radio Association (NCRA). The station also publishes a monthly newsletter, The Scarborough Frequency. Recently, the station acquired a mascot named "Fuse the Fox."
The station's new format, name, and mascot were designed and created by the 2004-2005 student executive team comprised of Chris Bonin (Station Manager), Darren Lewi (Program Manager), Norm Maschke (Music Director), Mike Scott (Technical Director) Rob Zamozniak (Contests Director) and Jessica French (Frequency Editor).
*Note: CSCR radio, prior to the internet option was also a Cable FM station, broadcasting at 90.3 on the Cable FM dial.
Recently, Rogers Cable discontinued cable radio as a listening choice for all cable radio stations.
Although many radio stations found on cable FM radio can now be found through the digital cable box,
Until further notice, Fusion radio is not part of the radio line up there.
Please visit Fusionradio.ca and click on the "listen live" feature present there to listen to Fusion Radio.
Thank-you.
The station is sometimes known by the call sign CSCR. This is an unofficial call sign as the station does not air on a conventional broadcast band. (Normally a Canadian broadcast station would not be entitled to use the ITU prefix CS.)
