Council instructs the Chief Executive to urgently bring forward a report on community provision in Levenshulme and to ensure that premises are available where the Levenshulme community are able to have community use especially for young people and in particular babies and toddlers given that these facilities will cease when the centre is no longer available for use.

    HITCHMOUGH’S BLACK COUNTRY PUBS DUDLEY (Inc. Harts Hill, Kates Hill, Priory, Woodside) 3rd. Edition - © 2014 Tony Hitchmough. All Rights Reserved www.longpull.co.uk INTRODUCTION Well over 40 years ago, I began to notice that the English public house was more than just a building in which people drank. The customers talked and played, held trips and meetings, the licensees had their own stories, and the buildings had experienced many changes. These thoughts spurred me on to find out more. Obviously I had to restrict my field; Black Country pubs became my theme, because that is where I lived and worked. Many of the pubs I remembered from the late 1960’s, when I was legally allowed to drink in them, had disappeared or were in the process of doing so. My plan was to collect any information I could from any sources available. Around that time the Black Country Bugle first appeared; I have never missed an issue, and have found the contents and letters invaluable. I then started to visit the archives of the Black Country boroughs. Directories were another invaluable source for licensees’ names, enabling me to build up lists. The censuses, church registers and licensing minutes for some areas, also were consulted. Newspaper articles provided many items of human interest (eg. inquests, crimes, civic matters, industrial relations), which would be of value not only to a pub historian, but to local and social historians and genealogists alike. With the advances in technology in mind, I decided the opportunity of releasing my entire archive digitally, rather than mere selections as magazine articles or as a book, was too good to miss.

  • Safety Showers Experts Receives Queen's Award Submitted By: Clickintopr.Com Friday, 4 August 2006
    Safety Showers Experts Receives Queen's Award Submitted by: CLICKintoPR.com Friday, 4 August 2006 During a ceremony at the company’s Stockport factory, Hughes Safety Showers (http://www.hughes-safety-showers.co.uk) has received the Queen’s Award for Enterprise International Trade (http://www.hughes-safety-showers.co.uk/Queens_Award.asp) from the Lord Lieutenant of Greater Manchester, Colonel Sir John Timmins. The company supplies emergency safety showers, eyebaths and decontamination equipment. Managing Director Tony Hughes expressed his personal pride in winning such a prestigious award but emphasized that it had been a team effort. From 2003 to 2005, export sales increased by almost 150%. The growth in business came from countries where Hughes is already well established and from new markets targeted by the recently expanded sales team. The appointment of an export manager, technical manager and the company’s first marketing manager has introduced new skills and experience. The company’s Germany subsidiary, Hughes Notduschen GmbH (http://www.hughes-notduschen.de), has played a pivotal role in expanding European business. Opening offices in North America and the Middle East (http://www.hughes-safety-showers.co.uk/world_distributors/worldHome.php) earlier this year has further strengthened the company’s position internationally. ‘The choice of products has played a key role in our success’, says Tony Hughes. ‘We’ve developed a particularly wide range and created showers and eyebaths (http://www.hughes-safety-showers.co.uk/productsHome.asp) specifically for overseas customers. They can be dispatched as sub-assemblies to minimize shipping costs and then easily built on site.

  • Local Educational Authorities
    SESC, December 2018 Local Educational Authorities Key to understanding the shape of post-1944 British education is the principle of a ‘national system, locally administered’.1 Historians of education have long stressed the foundational tripartite relationship between central government, Local Education Authorities [LEAs], and schools that made mass secondary education possible.2 This framework was not a product of the 1944 Act but reflected the deliberate intention for post-war secondary education to be built upon structures and expertise that had grown-up during the first half of the century.3 Even if some hoped the 1944 Act would allow the newly created Ministry of Education (which replaced the Board of Education) to exercise greater control and direction over national education policy, practical realities meant that mass secondary education depended upon a ‘harmonious relationship’ built upon cooperation.4 While the Secretary of State was charged with promoting ‘the education of the people of England and Wales and the progressive development of institutions devoted to that purpose’, LEAs assumed responsibility for the delivery of national policy at a local level. This structure meant the UK had the most devolved education system in Europe for much of the twentieth century and goes a long to explaining the highly variable nature of schooling not only across the country but often within individual counties or cities. Importantly, a focus upon the role of LEAs in shaping educational reform after the Second World War disrupts entrenched chronologies that pivot largely on reforms made at the national level, and subsequently separate the period into neat phases of tripartite, comprehensive, and marketization.
