    Dales Way Association eNewsletter No 50 Spring 2017 DWA Members walking on Ilkley Moor prior to the 2016 AGM The Dales Way Association PO Box 334, Shipley, BD18 9DZ [email protected] After Winter Gloom …. Spring’s blue sky After a miserable winter with newspapers and television screens filled with semi-coherent tweets from a certain Presidential ego-maniac, not to mention pre-and post-Brexit self-inflicted gloom and despondency, Spring is finally here and with it the chance of some decent weather and longer days to enjoy the Yorkshire Dales – just voted Britain’s favourite National Park. And what better way than to escape our rubbish-filled electronic screens by exploring that same National Park by walking, or maybe re-walking, part or all the Dales Way? Thankfully the long saga of flood damage problems on the Dales Way in Cumbria is now all behind us. Thanks to the hard work of so many rangers, footpath officers, contractors and National Park and other volunteers, almost all the Dales Way is now fully re-opened for walking. You will read elsewhere of what has been achieved over the autumn and winter. In fact, there is especially good news from Burneside as exciting plans forming the vibrant, community-led Burneside Vision to develop the village as a community-led eco- and visitor-friendly place to call in or stay on the Dales Way begin to be rolled out. Top news is a new small brewery at Bowston, north of the village alongside the River Kent, waiting to welcome walkers, which is also planned to soon have a walkers’ and cyclists’ cafe and a shop.

  • Burneside, Staveley, Ings & Upstream Measures Update
    Kent Catchment Flood Risk Management Scheme Update Burneside, Staveley, Ings, and upstream measures February 2021 The Environment Agency has proposed a three phase Flood Risk Management Scheme to better protect residential and business properties from flooding in the Kent catchment. We are starting our detailed design phase for Burneside, Staveley, Ings and the upstream storage locations. Below is a snaptshot of some of these benefits being delivered as part of the three phase scheme; 1480 1151 82 Homes better protected Businesses employing Community facilities 6,105 people better protected better protected £800k £ 3666 55 Secured to deliver NFM New trees planted – six new Hectares of habitat & in the Kent Catchment trees planted for every one recreational space improved removed Background Kendal, Burneside, Staveley, and Ings have a long history of flooding which was experienced most recently during Storm Desmond in 2015, when 2,276 homes and businesses were flooded. Since then, the Environment Agency along with Cumbria County Council, South Lakeland District Council, United Utilities, and other professional partners includingConstruction the local community, identified over 60 different options to address the complex flood issues thatstarts affect the catchment. Each option was considered for their technical feasibility, economic viability, environmental sustainability, and social acceptability. The preferred option was presented at a public meeting in Kendal Town Hall on the 26th September 2018. The preferred option takes a catchment based approach, and will be delivered in three phases. The scheme includes a combination of linear defences, improved pumping and conveyance, upstream storage, and complimentary Natural Flood Management interventions. Once the three-phase scheme is complete, 1480 homes and 1151 business in Kendal, Burneside, Staveley, and Ings will be better protected, reducing the flood risk to a 1 in 100yr standard of protection or a 1% chance of flooding in any given year.

  • NZNW Economic Investment Prospectus
    ECONOMIC INVESTMENT PROSPECTUS Funded by 1 FOREWORD - JOIN US FOR THE NORTH WEST’S DECARBONISATION JOURNEY Decarbonising the economy in the North West is critical to the success of the UK achieving its net zero target. We were the cradle of the first industrial revolution and must now be the powerhouse of the fourth digital and sustainable industrial revolution. The North West has the ingenuity, the skills and the passion to deliver on this vital transformation at the scale and speed needed to succeed. This is not a technology challenge but a policy one and it’s time now for Government, National and local, to make good on their policies to lead on decarbonisation. Carl Ennis, Chairman, Net Zero North West and CEO, Siemens GB & Ireland If we get serious now about the climate crisis, it will also help us tackle the post-pandemic jobs crisis. There are tens of thousands of good green jobs just waiting to be created across the North West – in retrofitting our buildings, modernising our energy systems, and decarbonising our transport. Now is absolutely the time to make that happen. We are outlining our vision to achieve a net zero North West by at least 2040, 10 years ahead of the national target. Benchmarks like these not only give us something to aim at – they also demand meaningful commitments and urgent action. Together, we hope to build a movement to make the North West the country’s leading force in the zero-carbon economy. We are all already working together and developing detailed energy and environment plans for our places which can meet our collective ambitions.

    Our Lead Authority: South Lakeland District Council (SLDC), with the Lake District National Park (LDNP) The Owner of the Neighbourhood Plan: Burneside Parish Council (Strickland Roger & Strickland Ketel) Professional Consultant: Mr Nigel McGurk, Erimax Ltd. Our aspirations: Our aspiration is to transform Burneside into a world-class village, for the benefit of the whole community, businesses and visitors alike. The foundation and drivers for change will be based on our rich heritage, world-class manufacturing facilities, unique character and shared values. Together we can rejuvenate our village and inspire change. Burneside Parish Council Our parish council has embraced the Localism ethos. We fully endorse the transfer of power, authority and resources from central government to local government and other local public agencies, who in turn devolve to and empower communities and individuals to take more responsibility and ownership of many aspects of their lives, at a local level. The Burneside Partnership This public/private partnership was formed in 2014, with the fundamental aim of inspiring sustainable development and seizing the opportunities that Localism offers local communities. The Partnership comprises: Ellergreen Estate (landowner), James Cropper PLC, The Anglers Inn Trust (charity for the benefit of Burneside and landowner) and Burneside Parish Council. In 2015 the Partnership commissioned and published, A Vision for Burneside document. During the creation and communication of this document, our partners and many other Burneside stakeholders were consulted. The Burneside Neighbourhood Plan is the logical next step: inspired by this innovative approach to Localism, together with our determination to transform our village and community, the parish wishes to engage the whole community in the process.
