Talk:Upminster

Ceremonial county

The Ceremonial County should be Essex. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 88.105.6.182 (talk • contribs) 22:30, 11 June 2007.

Not according to the Lieutenancies Act 1997. Greater London is the ceremonial county for all London boroughs (but not the City). [1] MRSC • Talk 06:06, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I stand corrected. However Upminster is in the historic/traditional county of Essex - there are some who maintain that these traditional counties are still valid and should receive some reconition, should Essex get a mention in the article? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 88.105.48.22 (talk • contribs) 18:29, 12 June 2007.

I've added a mention and link to Chafford (hundred) which was the ancient subdivision covering the area. MRSC • Talk 06:51, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Upminster IS in Essex, people please do your homework! It does not have a London address nor a London telephone dialing code! It just happens to come under the control of a London Borough, like Ilford. (82.2.175.77 (talk) 10:23, 20 March 2008 (UTC))

Agreed Upminster is in Essex. Even the Havering Council town Hall is in Essex. Poitical boundaries are constantly changing. The definition of the boundaries change to keep the voting numbers even, so the political wards of Upminster and Cranham have no reference to the postal areas of Upminster and Essex.217.34.44.59 (talk) 15:02, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Addresses and dialling codes are irrelevant. Sewardstone has these but is NOT in London, why? Because it is not inside a London Borough. If an area is within a London Borough it is in London, end of, finito, goodbye Justgravy (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:07, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

Sexiest town 2009

Does anyone want to put it in a mention. People might be interested. You can find info here: http://www.mirror.co.uk/2009/09/08/upminster-named-sexiest-town-in-britain-and-bangor-s-third-115875-21655996/ .Larnu UK 19:03, 13 September 2009 (BST)

There is a whole industry in producing this kind of 'research' for companies to use for marketing purposes and it should be treated as such. MRSC (talk) 07:10, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

List of members of parliament

This belongs in Upminster (UK Parliament constituency). MRSC (talk) 18:38, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Who is Who

This belongs in List of people from Havering, but see List of people from Barking and Dagenham for a list that is properly referenced. MRSC (talk) 18:41, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

From my understanding of history most of the people on the who is who list that you have removed never lived in anywhere called Havering ! Upminster and Cranham are the reference not some greater political boundary. 217.34.44.59 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 14:57, 5 February 2010 (UTC).

List is now incorporated into List of people from Havering. I see now it was lifted from http://www.upminster.com/history/people/whoiswho.htm. Please note Wikipedia:Copyright violations. MRSC (talk) 18:15, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

"Very affluent"

We need to be careful saying things like this and house prices in London are high everywhere, so it doesn't tell us anything. However, the English indices of deprivation 2010 show Upminster ward as the least deprived in London and this has been added with a citation. MRSC (talk) 07:05, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
