Countdown To Middlesex Day - May 16th

 

The County of Middlesex Trust

Aim & Objectives

1. To make people aware that the geographical County of Middlesex still exists and that only the County Council was abolished in 1965.

2. To explain that London is in Middlesex and that London should refer ONLY to the City itself.

3. To explain that Hertfordshire and Surrey County Councils only administer portions of the County of Middlesex but those portions are NOT part of the counties which administer them.

4. To correct the media whenever they refer to an area of Middlesex as a compass point of ‘London’ or as Hertfordshire or Surrey.

5. To enlist the support of Members of Parliament to assist with any legislation that will safeguard the continuing identity of the County of Middlesex.

6. To encourage local authorities which are now jointly responsible for administering the County to acknowledge their duty to safeguard the heritage of the County.

7. To promote the identity of the County of Middlesex by encouraging the use of the county name in addresses.

8. To promote awareness and interest in the history and geography of Middlesex, particularly amongst our schoolchildren.

9. To encourage the preservation of all historic buildings and other aspects of the history and heritage of the County.

10. To encourage a sense of pride in the County through sport and other activities and a sense of identity among all Middlesaxons.

---------------------------------

This organisation will support all that is good in the county – a sort of friends of Middlesex – but with something to attract all ages.
Our aims and objectives are the same as the Middlesex Federation and the Middlesaxon Tribe.

For a membership of £20 a year each trust member gets a car sticker, badge and key ring and at least two e-mail newsletters a year on the latest news on Middlesex in their first year of membership.

Money raised will go to the first project of seeing a road sign on every road that enters the county bearing the county arms and welcome to the county of Middlesex.
