Double Nine Pocklington Canal Amenity Society
DOUBLE NINE POCKLINGTON CANAL AMENITY SOCIETY Autumn 2011 No. 96 2 Editor’s Notes Well, another boating season is drawing to a close. Although not for everybody. (Remember Howard‟s article in our March Issue about winter cruising) New Horizons has had another record breaking year carrying around 2000 pas- sengers on more than 80 trips. Many thanks to all our volunteers who made this possible. For our „Spotlight On‟ subject ,this issue, we move away from featuring a PCAS Member and welcome the comments from Jon Horsfall, British Waterways North East Regional Manager. His views about the coming changes facing BW make very interesting reading. I am also delighted to have a contribution from Peter Hardy who compiled the very first Canal Guide for the Pocklington Canal. Many thanks to all our contributors without whom, we would not have a newsletter. Have you got something to say? A story about the Canal or indeed any waterway subject that may be of interest to our readers. Please contact me if you can help. I am happy also to publish letters (where appropriate) if you have any comments to make. It is always good to know what you think otherwise we are just working in the dark producing what we think you want to read. In the centre of this issue is a Membership Form. I apologise for repeating what is also said by others but PLEASE do fill this in even if you think you have nothing different to tell us. Many members are not aware that we do not have the correct information on file. -

Flood and Coast News
Suffolk Flood and Coastal News – December 2016 In this newsletter: 1. Introduction 2. National reviews into flooding 3. Updates from the coast and estuaries 4. Updates from other flood management projects 1. Introduction Much has happened nationally since our last newsletter – the Brexit vote, new Government Ministers… Our newsletter focusses on providing you with brief updates on the many flood and coastal activities taking place both nationally and locally, providing links for those of you wanting to know more. 2. National reviews into flooding The Government has recently released two reports which followed the 2016 floods in Cumbria and elsewhere, looking at the country’s flood resilience and ways to manage it better in the future - the National Flood Resilience Review 2016 and the EFRA committee review. Both reports support greater use of Natural Flood Management (NFM) measures such as holding water upstream, improving ways to describe flood risk to the public and ensuring key infrastructure and utilities are more resilient to extreme flood events. There is also a commitment to investment in the deployment of temporary flood defences and more scientific research into long term flood risk. The EFRA report also suggested changes to the Environment Agency and flood governance structures but these are not widely supported politically. 3. Updates from the coast and estuaries 3.1 Suffolk Coast Forum’s 5th annual community conference, ‘Suffolk – towards a resilient future for our estuaries and coast’ was held in October at Snape Maltings. The conference focussed on future planning and new ways of working around our coast and estuaries. Delegates heard from leading UK environmentalist Tony Juniper; Daniel Johns, the head of adaptation at the Government’s advisory UK Committee on Climate Change; Dr Therese Coffey, Suffolk Coastal MP and Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at Defra with responsibility for flood and coastal management and Mark Farrah, from conference sponsor Balfour Beatty. -

December 2009 Introduction I am pleased to introduce our summary of the East Suffolk Catchment Flood Management Plan (CFMP). This CFMP gives an overview of the flood risk in the East Suffolk catchment and sets out our preferred plan for sustainable flood risk management over the next 50 to 100 years. The East Suffolk CFMP is one of 77 CFMPs for England Tidal flooding can occur within rivers and estuaries. and Wales. Through the CFMPs, we have assessed inland There is a significant risk of tidal flooding in East Suffolk flood risk across all of England and Wales for the first because the coastal land and land around the estuaries is time. The CFMP considers all types of inland flooding, low-lying. Tidal flooding can occur from the River Gipping from rivers, ground water, surface water and tidal in the ports, docklands and some areas of Ipswich. -

River Witham the Source of the 8Th Longest River Wholly in England Is
River Witham The source of the 8th longest river wholly in England is just outside the county, Lincolnshire, through which it follows almost all of a 132km course to the sea, which is shown on the map which accompanies Table Wi1 at the end of the document. Three kilometres west of the village of South Witham, on a minor road called Fosse Lane, a sign points west over a stile to a nature reserve. There, the borders of 3 counties, Lincolnshire, Rutland and Leicestershire meet. The reserve is called Cribb’s Meadow, named for a famous prize fighter of the early 19th century; at first sight a bizarre choice at such a location, though there is a rational explanation. It was known as Thistleton Gap when Tom Cribb had a victory here in a world championship boxing match against an American, Tom Molineaux, on 28th September 1811; presumably it was the only time he was near the place, as he was a Bristolian who lived much of his life in London. The organisers of bare-knuckle fights favoured venues at such meeting points of counties, which were distant from centres of population; they aimed to confuse Justices of the Peace who had a duty to interrupt the illegal contests. Even if the responsible Justices managed to attend and intervene, a contest might be restarted nearby, by slipping over the border into a different jurisdiction. In this fight, which bore little resemblance to the largely sanitised boxing matches of today, it is certain that heavy blows were landed, blood was drawn, and money changed hands, before Cribb won in 11 rounds; a relatively short fight, as it had taken him over 30 rounds to beat the same opponent at the end of the previous year to win his title. -

East Lindsey Local Plan Alteration 1999 Chapter 1 - 1
Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION TO THE EAST LINDSEY LOCAL PLAN ALTERATION 1999 The Local Plan has the following main aims:- x to translate the broad policies of the Structure Plan into specific planning policies and proposals relevant to the East Lindsey District. It will show these on a Proposals Map with inset maps as necessary x to make policies against which all planning applications will be judged; x to direct and control the development and use of land; (to control development so that it is in the best interests of the public and the environment and also to highlight and promote the type of development which would benefit the District from a social, economic or environmental point of view. In particular, the Plan aims to emphasise the economic growth potential of the District); and x to bring local planning issues to the public's attention. East Lindsey Local Plan Alteration 1999 Chapter 1 - 1 Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION Page The Aims of the Plan 3 How The Policies Have Been Formed 4 The Format of the Plan 5 The Monitoring, Review and Implementation of the Plan 5 East Lindsey Local Plan Alteration 1999 Chapter 1 - 2 INTRODUCTION TO THE EAST LINDSEY LOCAL PLAN 1.1. The East Lindsey Local Plan is the first statutory Local Plan to cover the whole of the District. It has updated, and takes over from all previous formal and informal Local Plans, Village Plans and Village Development Guidelines. It complements the Lincolnshire County Structure Plan but differs from it in quite a significant way. The Structure Plan deals with broad strategic issues and its generally-worded policies do not relate to particular sites.
