 Council Tax: 20 Jul 2005: House of Commons debates (TheyWorkForYou.com)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Runnymede borough council is being capped in 2005–06 for imposing exactly the same percentage council tax increase that it imposed in 2004–05.
Runnymede is also a popular council: in 2001 and in 2004, it was in the top 10 of all councils in England in the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister's residents general satisfaction survey.
Runnymede's strategy was to reduce revenue budgets by around £2 million over a period of time, to reduce its working balances to the minimum prudent level during the transitional phase, and to increase taxes to a level that would still be well below the district council average.

His utopian agricultural experiment was based on the concept that small farmers could support themselves on one intensively cultivated acre, thereby achieving independence and a quality of life superior to that in industrialized cities.
By 1922 Runnymede had 400 families raising chickens, rabbits, goats, fruits and vegetables on more than 640 acres in the heart of present-day East Palo Alto.
Runnymede consisted of long, narrow lots with single-story "garden homes," poultry coops which housed up to 2,500 birds, and two-story tankhouses which provided water.

 EPA Acceptable Use
One of the frustrations of unincorporation was the number of special districts to which residents paid taxes for such services as drainage, fire protection, garbage, sanitation, lighting, recreation, water, education, etc. According to one source, East Palo Alto fell under the jurisdiction of 37 special districts in the mid-1960s.
Consolidation of these districts and their services was one of the arguments used to support incorporation.
It was defeated by sanitary district voters who lived in Menlo Park and would not have been affected by incorporation.

 Palo Alto Online Palo Alto Weekly: East Palo Alto school board votes to forego public high school (May 17, 2006)
In the mid-'90s, the Ravenswood district made its own attempts to serve high schoolers, but met resistance from Sequoia officials who said their campuses' racial balances would be significantly altered if they lost East Palo Alto students.
Aspire planned on adding portables to its Runnymede Street site to serve new ninth-graders and older students progressing through the grades until a new campus could be built and opened in fall 2008.
The possible involvement of — and past complications with — the Sequoia district seemed to stop the Ravenswood board from supporting the proposal, he said.

The historical setting of the poem is the revolt by English barons against King John and their successful attempt to force him to define and codify certain fundamental rights and liberties in the Magna Charta.
In “The Reeds of Runnymede” Kipling uses two different verse forms, though the rhythm is much the the same for both.

 National Trust | Runnymede | After the signing of Magna Carta
Part of the meads were protected to some extent against building before they were accepted by the National Trust as they are Lammas Land and subject to certain common rights for part of the year.
Speculative development has been prevented and in 1963 the Egham Urban District Council gave 110 acres of the wooded Cooper's Hill Slopes to the National Trust.
Thus more riverside land was made available to the public and the preservation of the countryside surrounding Runnymede ensured.

Meetings were also held in a barn belonging to W S Hunt of Ottershaw and then at the delightful District Camp Site situated at Anningsley Park.
It was felt that if the Scouting and Guiding sections could combine, then all the fund raising could be consolidated and a new meeting place for all the sections could be built.
In order for this to happen, it was decided to form a joint ‘Scout and Guide Group’ – the first (and to date, only) one in Runnymede District and one of only a few in Surrey.
