Talk:City of London

More nitpicking: the link to the City of London is actually a link to The Corporation of The City of London, the public body which governs the City. (Sorry.) -- Robert Brook

Voting in the City

25 wards - elect one alderman and the rest common councilmen. There are 4 predominantly residential wards - Aldergate, Cripplegate, Portsoken and Queenhithe. Each ward returns between 4 and 12 members. Only 6 wards were contested in 2002. The lowest vote received to be elected was 11.

Corporate voters:

Based on workforce on 1st September 2003.

if less than 9 employees - 1 vote up to 50 employees - 1 vote for every 5 employees more than 50 employees - 10 voters, and one additional per extra 50 employees

if an organisation has more than one office each office has votes - even if they are in the same ward (as long as they are not physically linked)

Qualifying bodies are:

any incorporated or unincorporated body includes churches, hospital trusts. Need to physically occupy premises in the city.

The business vote is approx 26,000, there are approx 6,000 residential voters.

The above should be a page not a talk page!

Temple

In what sense are inner and middle temples separate enclaves in the City = I don't think they are but am not totally sure? one could equally say that St Pauls is a separate enclave or the Barbican is a separate enclave.

In the sense that they are independent. [1] says that 'any reference to a London borough includes a reference to the City of London, which for this purpose shall be taken to include the Inner Temple and the Middle Temple;' which means that ordinarily the city of london would not include the inner and middle temples.

True or false??

True or false: there is a difference between this article and London, England. 66.245.6.21 23:58, 27 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

True. London, England redirects to London, which is an article about the city of London as a whole (see that article for details of what that means. This article is about a small area within London, confusingly known as the City (of London) for historical reasons. Pete/Pcb21 (talk) 00:06, 28 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
