# London Road Cemetery

London Road Cemetery is a 17-hectare (42-acre) cemetery in Coventry, England, designed by Joseph Paxton and opened in 1847.
It lies south-east of the city centre and is bisected by the West Coast main railway line between Coventry and Rugby, which pre-dates the cemetery and runs roughly west–east through it.

## History

Paxton was commissioned by the Coventry Cemetery Committee on 9 October 1845. The chosen site was a former quarry, which he first visited in early 1846. He presented his ground plan to the committee on 6 March 1846 and plans for the chapels and the landscaping on 19 March. Planting began in November that year, using a variety of native and exotic trees, including Silver Birch, weeping Silver Lime, English Elm and Purple Beech. Many of these trees were supplied and planted by John Ronalds (son of Hugh Ronalds) from their nursery in Brentford.
The first superintendent, Paxton protege Richard Ashwell, and his successors continued the programme of planting.
The cemetery is known to be one of the best preserved Victorian cemeteries in the country, despite being damaged during the Second World War following bombing to the city and the nearby Armstrong Siddeley factory.
A 'Friends of London Road Cemetery' group publish newsletters, organise guided tours, and hold litter clean-up events.

## Buildings

A number of original buildings and structures survive. They were Grade II* listed as a group on 24 June 1974 and include:
* The entrance lodge
* Prospect Tower
* the Paxton Memorial, by Joseph Goddard, erected in 1868 following Sir Joseph Paxton's death in 1865
* an Anglican chapel
* a non-conformist chapel
* a Jewish chapel

### Non-conformist chapel

The non-conformist chapel is an ashlar classical temple with two storeys and a basement, supported by piers on the corners. The chapel has two large fluted columns at the front with a large portico between them. The building was abandoned after it was damaged during the Second World War. It has not been used since, nor has any restoration been undertaken, and the state of the building is described by English Heritage as "dilapidated".

### War graves

The cemetery contains 94 scattered war graves of Commonwealth service personnel—including Victoria Cross recipient Battery Sergeant-Major Charles Parker (died 1918)—and one Belgian soldier's war grave of the First World War. There are 123 Commonwealth service war graves of the Second World War, 21 of whom are in a group in Square 348. The group includes an officer and six men of a Royal Engineers bomb disposal team who were killed when a bomb they were working on after an air raid exploded. In addition to military graves, 808 civilian victims of the Coventry Blitz lie in a mass grave in the cemetery.

### Notable Burials

* David Danskin (1863–1948) Scottish born founding player in Arsenal F.C.
Contrary to an urban myth, there is no record of the Scottish stage and film actress Mary Ure (1933–1975) being buried there. She was married to actor Robert Shaw. It is thought this has been confused with another 'London Road Cemetery' elsewhere although her actual burial place is unconfirmed/unknown.

# Centre républicain (1932)

The Centre républicain was a right-wing parliamentary group in the Chamber of Deputies of the French Third Republic from 1932 to 1936. The group was critical of parliamentarism and advocated for plebiscitary democracy and a strong executive.

## History

The Centre républicain was established in 1932 by André Tardieu after his unsuccessful attempt to take control of the Democratic Republican Alliance, in order to transform it into a large liberal-conservative party. Positioned firmly on the right, the group dissolved after the 1936 elections when Tardieu failed to retain his seat.

## Ideology

The group aligned with the principles laid out in Tardieu's book, *Réforme de l'État*. These included removing the right of the Parliament to initiate expenditures, creating the position of Prime Minister, granting the Prime Minister the power to dissolve the Chamber of Deputies, enfranchising women, and advocating for the use of referendums.
Criticism of parliamentary dominance in interwar France was not exclusive to the Centre républicain:
* Charles Maurras and the Action française opposed parliamentary governance, advocating for a monarchy underpinned by decentralization.
* The Ligue de la jeune République supported state reform and aligned with Pierre Mendès France post-World War II.
* The Jeunes Turcs of the Radical Party also sought reform and later backed Mendès France.
These movements influenced the foundation of the Fifth Republic.

## Members

Below is a summary of notable members of the Centre républicain:
| Name | Department | Party before joining | Alignment during Centre républicain tenure | Party after 1936 |
| André Tardieu | Territoire de Belfort | Democratic Republican Alliance | Centre républicain | - |

# Milad El-Halabi

Milad El-Halabi is an Australian former politician. He was a councillor on the City of Moreland (now known as the City of Merri-bek) in Victoria from 2004 until 2008, and again from 2020 until 2022.
In February 2022, El-Halabi resigned as a councillor after being charged with conspiracy to cheat and defraud for allegedly tampering with the council election in his ward. It was later found that he had been unduly elected.

## Political career

El-Halabi was first elected to the City of Moreland in North-West Ward at the 2004 local elections. He was defeated in 2008, receiving 4.13% of the vote.
He unsuccessfully contested the 2012 and 2016 local elections, receiving 3.22% and 3.78% of the vote respectively.
At the 2020 local elections, El-Halabi returned to the council as the fourth councillor elected in North-West Ward.
On 10 February 2022, El-Halabi was being charged by Victoria Police with conspiracy to cheat and defraud for allegedly tampering with the election in his ward. He was suspended as a member of the Labor Party, then resigned as a councillor. He was replaced via countback the following month by Socialist Alliance's Monica Harte.
El-Halabi, his wife Dianna and his daughter Tania, were alleged to have stole multiple ballot papers and lodged them with the Victorian Electoral Commission, therefore prejudicing the election result.
On 31 March 2023, the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) found that El-Halabi was unduly elected, but the election of the 3 other councillors to North-West Ward was not affected by the inclusion of fraudulent ballots in the count. El-Halabi continues to deny all allegations.
