Encyclopedia > North West of England

North West England is one of the regions of England. It is one of the two regions (along with Yorkshire and the Humber) that were expected to have a referendum about the establishment of an elected regional assembly. The North East region of England recently rejected having an elected regional assembly in a referendum. Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott subsequently announced that he will not move orders for other referendums before the relevant provisions expire in June, 2005.

North West England - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (229 words)
North West England is one of the regions of England.
However, when the North East region of England recently rejected having an elected regional assembly in a referendum, Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott subsequently announced that he will not move orders for other referendums.
The proposals for elected regional assemblies in England therefore are on hold.
North West England (410 words)
The main attraction (but by no means the only one) for anyone seeking an inland holiday in the North West is likely to be The Lake District where it is possible to find places so peaceful and tranquil that you feel as if you could be the only person left on earth.
North of the Lake District is Carlisle, the "last city in England" for those heading to Scotland up the M6 motorway.
Blackpool, on the coast of North West England was for many years the home of the traditional seaside holiday for the mill-workers of Lancashire and it grew to attract people from all over Britain.
