The coalfield closures left a legacy of high unemployment, social deprivation and environmental degradation. Following the Coalfields Task Force report in 1998, the Government put into effect a programme which has tackled the major environmental problems. English Partnerships has made considerable progress in dealing with the physical dereliction left by the mining activities but the social and economic needs of the coalfield communities have yet to be adequately addressed. The coalfield communities continue to be characterised by poor health, low employment levels, low educational achievement and poor housing. There is a plethora of initiatives funded through UK and EU regeneration programmes, seeking to address many of the social and economic issues but they are often poorly coordinated and short term. Funding for many of these programmes is due to expire or is at least subject to review in the next three years with no clear continuation or transitional arrangement yet in place. The Government needs to identify clear successors to the Enterprise Zones, European Social Fund and Structural Funds and the Single Regeneration Budget. The legacy of Coal Board housing is now a major problem with high levels of abandonment and neglect. Up to now these problems have not been tackled by Government programmes. English Partnerships has a new remit to tackle the wider needs of coalfield communities and with ODPM funding should work with local authorities tackle the low housing demand as part of an integrated package to address the economic and social needs. Progress in providing new jobs for the coalfield communities has been limited. New developments are tending to create low paid and unstable jobs; many of the new employers are call centres. Stronger links are required between the new developments taking place on coalfield sites and the nearby communities so that adequate training is provided to enable local takeup of the incoming jobs. The Regional Development Agencies need to be given new guidance to ensure that they prioritise the economic needs of coalfields areas. There has been some progress in increasing the take-up of lottery funds in coalfield areas for new community and social facilities but there is still a backlog which still needs to be made up as a result of low takeup in the past. The Coalfields Regeneration Trust set up in 1998 after the Coalfields Task Force report is making a major contribution to funding social provision but its funding, which is currently on a three year basis, should be put on a longer term basis. Mainstream services like health and education need to address more fully and effectively the particular demands of the communities in these areas. The one-size fits all approach adopted by these services is not reflecting the distinctive health needs or responding to the low educational aspirations of the coalfield areas. Funding levels fail to reflect the intensity of need in these small areas with the Government formulas favouring densely populated 4 Coalfield Communities urban areas. Funding for health facilities is a major problem as actual allocations are falling far short of the indicative levels based on the level of needs calculated by the Department of Health. Many of the coalfield communities are isolated with access to jobs and public services being limited because of the poor road and rail services. The Department for Transport should give greater priority to transport schemes which support the regeneration of these communities. Coalfield Communities 5 1 Introduction 1. The coalmining industry was once one of UK’s largest employers providing in 1947 more than 700,000 jobs in 958 mines. The villages and small towns built around the pitheads depended on the National Coal Board not only for employment but housing and a wide range of other services. During the 1980s and early 1990s more than 250,000 jobs were lost with the pit closures. By 1997, when the Government set up the Coalfields Task Force, most mines had closed and the number of jobs had plummeted to only 8,000. Many of these towns and villages had lost their reason for being. It is now 5 years since the Task Force reported, and a new set of initiatives was started across the North East, North West, Yorkshire and Humberside, the Midlands and parts of the South East to address the needs of the coalfields communities. The Committee therefore considered it an appropriate point to launch an inquiry. The inquiry considered: x Policies to create employment opportunities; x The reclamation and regeneration of sites; x Links with health, welfare, education and other social issues; x The roles and responsibilities of the various agencies involved; and x Funding. 2. The Committee held two evidence sessions in November and December 2003 and visited Easington in County Durham and South Yorkshire. We received some 60 written submissions. We are very grateful to our advisors Professor Ray Hudson and Professor Fred Robinson, to all who provided written and oral evidence to the Committee and to Easington District Council, Barnsley Metropolitan District Council and the Coalfields Regeneration Trust who gave us hospitality on our visit. 6 Coalfield Communities Map – England’s Coalfields North East North West West Midlands Yorkshire East Midlands Gloucestershire Kent Source: English Partnerships, 2004. Coalfield Communities 7 2 The Regeneration of the Coalfield Areas 3. The coalfields are a substantial part of the UK covering an area with a population of more than 5 million. The closure of the mines happened very quickly. With the closure of 150 collieries between 1985 and 1997 about 250,000 jobs were lost. This not only brought the loss of the main source of employment in many of the coalfield villages and towns, but also the loss of the social facilities provided by the National Coal Board and the trade unions.

  • Lichfield Community Safety Delivery Plan
    Lichfield District Community Safety Delivery Plan 2017 - 2020 Foreword Our aim is to ensure that Lichfield District remains one of the safest places in the county and this Delivery Plan will provide the means by which the community safety priorities highlighted in the 2016 Strategic Assessment can be delivered. Members of our Safer Community Partnership will lead on the delivery of our priority actions, but we cannot make this happen on our own. We hope that partners, stakeholders, local people and communities will take responsibility, demonstrate commitment and make a real contribution to help realise our vision for a safe District. The Partnership has embraced a number of changes over recent years, not least the challenges brought about by the current financial pressures experienced by all public sector organisations. Difficult decisions are having to be made which impact on people's quality of life, so it's important we utilise what funding we do have effectively. Other challenges we need to be mindful of are national and international terrorism and violence which has had a high media profile over recent times, together with the extent of child sexual exploitation (CSE) and Modern Day Slavery (MDS) within our communities. Much more emphasis is being placed on identifying and supporting people, especially young people and children, who are vulnerable to any form of exploitation and radicalisation. The opportunities and threats of social media have also become a major consideration going forward as we need to support local residents, especially young people to use it safely. Community safety is a complex and challenging area of work and we are grateful for the support and enthusiasm of all who are driven to continually improve the quality of life for people who live in the District.

The first three volume indexes were produced on typewriters, though subsequent issues were produced by computers, and happily digital files had been preserved for these apart from one section of one index. It has therefore been necessary to create digital versions of 3 original indexes using “Optical Character Recognition” (OCR), which has not proved easy due to the relatively poor print, and extremely small text (font) size, of some of the indexes in particular. Thus the OCR results have required extensive proof-reading. Very fortunately, a team of volunteers to assist in the project was recruited from the membership of the Society, and grateful thanks are undoubtedly due to the major players in this exercise – Paul Burkhalter, John Hill, John Hutchings, Frank Jux, John Maddox and Robin Simmonds – with a special thankyou to Russell Wear, current Editor of "IL" and Chairman of the Society, who has both helped and given encouragement to the project in a myraid of different ways. None of this would have been possible but for the efforts of those who compiled the original individual indexes – Frank Jux, Ian Lloyd, (the late) James Lowe, John Scotford, and John Wood – and to the volume index print preparers such as Roger Hateley, who set a new level of presentation which is standing the test of time.

Introduction This report has been prepared by the Conservation and Urban Design Team at Lichfield District Council to gain approval for the addition of buildings and structures onto Lichfield’s register of buildings of special local interest. It is intended that this will be the first report of a rolling programme of reports to be presented to the Council until all areas of the district have been reviewed. 1.1 Background to the Lichfield District Council Local List Currently Lichfield District Councils Local List only covers buildings within some of the 22 designated Conservation Areas. These buildings were assessed at the time that the conservation area appraisals were carried out. However, there are numerous buildings and structures across the district which are locally important, and are currently not identified. Whilst the local listing does not offer the same level of protection as statutorily listed buildings, they do become a material consideration within planning decisions, allowing the opportunity for their local distinctiveness to be taken into consideration through the planning process.

  • Private Owner Wagons Index
    PRIVATE OWNER WAGONS & TANKERS INDEX [MAINLY PRE – 1948] COMPILED BY JOE GREAVES This index alphabetically lists references in books to private owner railway wagons and tankers by company name. Each company is listed by an abbreviation of the book’s author and its page number. Coal Merchants who ran wagons are also included. Most of the references include either a photograph or drawing of the wagon. It is not intended to be a comprehensive list of every private owner wagon built, merely of those that have appeared in books since 1969. Where there is only a description of the wagon or notes about the owner, but no photo or drawing, the reference has * next to it. Some of these [IP1/147* & JA/184* particularly] are as little as just a name with no location or any other details. Locations of the companies are included unless it is obvious from the name on the wagon. If there is no location listed, particularly with the Welsh wagons, the name is the location (please check with an atlas). In Bill Hudson’s first two books (BH1 & BH2), his index lists wagons by plate (ie photo) number rather than page. In this index, they are by page number. Wagons shown in the prefaces are listed by Roman numerals, eg BH2/vi. For his third & fourth volumes (BH3 & BH4), there are no page numbers so the references are to plates not pages. Richard Tourret’s books are listed as RT, then RT2. There is no ‘RT1’. Entries are usually by surname or place, for example ‘City of Nottingham’ is under ‘N’ not ‘C’ (but North, South, East or West are under N, S, E or W.) If there is likely to be any uncertainty, the name may be listed twice, eg, Griffith Thomas is under ‘G’ and ‘T’.

  • Sub-Rural Fringe Zone
    South Yorkshire Historic Environment Characterisation Project Doncaster Character Zone Descriptions Sub-Rural Fringe Zone Summary of Dominant Character This project has described the ‘Sub-Rural Fringe’ as a zone characterised by: “an open landscape with strong rural indicators such as open space, relict field patterns and boundaries, high levels of woodland and a general absence of housing or active industry…[where]… the influence of nearby or surrounding urban settlement has fundamentally altered their character.” (Sheffield ‘Sub-Rural Fringe’ character zone description). In Sheffield, a number of areas retaining substantial rural characteristics have been enveloped by urban settlement but preserved as parkland or other open space. The topography of Sheffield has partly influenced the development of this zone around the city, due to large areas where gradients are too steep for large scale urban development; the early activities of philanthropic individuals and groups was another key influence (Sewell 1997, 208-210). In Doncaster borough, this process has been less pronounced, with surburban development enclosing smaller and fewer areas for recreational purposes. The only character area to be defined in this zone comprises the Doncaster Racecourse and land around Danum School and Wheatley golf course to the north and south of Armthorpe Road.
