A specialist working group will ‘pool’ their experience and ideas, and put this inspiration into a planning framework. More details will follow in the Spring term. INTRANET/INTERNET/CLEO There has been a lot of excellent work done on the CLEO website (Cumbria and Lancashire Education Online). There are some wonderfully interactive pupil topics that have been produced – Susan Willoughby and Fiona Revell created the Pendle Witches units for KS2 and KS3. Maggy Simms is the CLEO Learning Consultant and she has spoken to some of you at a number of courses this year. We have worked closely together to provide lots of activities and both intranet and internet links to enhance and deepen historical skills and understanding. Have a look at the CLEO site at www.cleo.net.uk/cleo.content/home.csm. This also provides links to recommended internet sites, and other resources such as the Lancashire Grid for Learning which can be found on www.lancsngfl.ac.uk/. This site has information about History courses, and resources such as useful History and ICT plans. HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL DAY As you may recall, the first Holocaust Remembrance Day was on Saturday 27th January of this year. The Government has announced that this event will happen each year to mark the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz concentration camp. A number of school across Lancashire contributed work for a special exhibition that was held in January at the Woodlands Centre, Chorley. Pupils who worked on the display attended the opening of the exhibition alongside County Councillors and representatives of local communities including the Jewish community. It was a huge success, as Councillor Hazell Harding, Leader of Lancashire County Council commented: “Holocaust Remembrance Day will ensure that the horrendous crimes against humanity committed during the Holocaust will never be forgotten. I applaud schools for making resources available for pupils to understand the significance of the Holocaust, and to interpret it in this moving and meaningful exhibition.” Although the exhibition mostly contained examples of Key Stage 3 pupil work, there were two wonderful displays from the Primary phase – St John’s CE, Coppull, Chorley and St Michael’s CE, Kirkham.

    TRANSACTIONS OF THE HISTORIC SOCIETY OF LANCASHIRE AND CHESHIRE VOL. CXVII TRANSACTIONS OF THE HISTORIC SOCIETY OF LANCASHIRE AND CHESHIRE FOR THE YEAR 1965 VOLUME 117 LIVERPOOL PRINTED FOR THE SOCIETY 1966 Made and Printed in Great Britain by C. Tinting & Co. Ltd., Liverpool, London and Prescot. EDITORIAL NOTE Even so diverse a body as a Historic Society must have a local habitation as well as a name, but though most of the Society's meetings are held in Liverpool the name reminds us that the Society's sphere of interest and, we hope, of influence, extends to Cheshire as well as to Lancashire. The editors are therefore particularly glad to consider articles relating to the history of Cheshire and are pleased that it is possible to print three such papers in this volume. We hope that more contributions from Cheshire historians will be forthcoming. Honorary editors, in their enthusiasm for presenting to readers all that deserves to be published, are a sore trial to honorary treasurers, who must have an equal enthusiasm for balancing the books. We have therefore been asked to make amends by reminding members that it would be of great assis­ tance to the Society if they would arrange to pay their subscrip­ tions in accordance with a deed of covenant, the necessary forms being obtainable from either of the treasurers. The Council is grateful to Mr. D. Anderson, Mr. B. G. Blackwood, Mr. J. Phillip Dodd, Mr. D. J. Hoey and Mr. E. Midwinter for contributing to the cost of producing this volume, and, once again, to Mr.

September saw the launch of our latest publication Field-names in Cheshire, Shropshire and North-East Wales. Sales were swift at our launch event and it soon became apparent that a second print run would be necessary to meet demand. As I type, these too have virtually sold out! CSLH members are always supportive of Cheshire Local History Day. This year it was good to see that two of our members, Rachel Swallow and Tony Barratt, were invited to speak at the event. It is a healthy sign of a vibrant Society that a number of its members are actively involved in local research projects. Saturday 10th October 2015 will offer the chance for CSLH members to find out about research projects currently being undertaken by members in our area.

  • CORE STRATEGY – CONFIRMING the HOUSING REQUIREMENT Submitted By: CHIEF EXECUTIVE Principal Author: COLIN HIRST – HEAD of REGENERATION & HOUSING
    PD060813 DECISION RIBBLE VALLEY BOROUGH COUNCIL REPORT TO PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE Agenda Item No. meeting date: TUESDAY, 6 AUGUST 2013 title: CORE STRATEGY – CONFIRMING THE HOUSING REQUIREMENT submitted by: CHIEF EXECUTIVE principal author: COLIN HIRST – HEAD OF REGENERATION & HOUSING 1 PURPOSE 1.1 To confirm the housing requirement proposed for the Core Strategy. 1.2 Relevance to the Council’s ambitions and priorities: • Council Ambitions – To match the supply of homes in our area with identified housing needs and to progress the Core Strategy. The Core Strategy is a central Strategy of the Local Development Framework. It will help in the delivery of housing, employment and the protection and enhancement of the environment, ultimately presenting the Delivery Strategy for implementing the vision for the Ribble Valley for the next 15-20 years. • Community Objectives – As a tool for delivering Spatial Policy the Core Strategy identifies how a range of issues relating to the objectives of a sustainable economy, thriving market towns and housing provision will be addressed through the planning system. • Corporate Priorities – The Core Strategy is the central document of the LDF. The housing requirement is fundamental to determining planning applications and for the purposes of formulating planning policy. • Other Considerations – The Council has a duty to prepare Spatial Policy under the Local Development Framework system. 2 BACKGROUND 2.1 As Members are aware the provision of housing is a key element of the Council’s land- use planning and its role in determining planning applications. As an issue, it generates without doubt high levels of interest and concern amongst the local community, as demonstrated in recent Core Strategy consultations.

  • Transactions of the Historic Society of Lancashire and Cheshire Vol
    TRANSACTIONS OF THE HISTORIC SOCIETY OF LANCASHIRE AND CHESHIRE VOL. 120 TRANSACTIONS OF THE HISTORIC SOCIETY OF LANCASHIRE AND CHESHIRE FOR THE YEAR 1968 VOLUME 120 LIVERPOOL PRINTED FOR THE SOCIETY 1969 Made and Printed in Great Britain by C, Tinline, & Co. Ltd., Liverpool, London and Prescot. EDITORIAL NOTE Good papers continue to be submitted by non-members as well as members, by those who have read them to the Society and those who have not. In this respect the present volume contains a fairly typical selection. Council tries to publish as many of these papers as possible, but it is somewhat inhibited by a number of factors. One is the tendency for the annual increase in printing costs to absorb the annual addition to revenue arising from growth in membership. Another, less depressing, factor is the need to provide, over the years, a reasonably balanced diet to cater for the varied tastes of a discriminating membership. Cheshire papers were once quite scarce, but there has been a welcome increase in the supply. However, there remains a dearth of acceptable papers dealing with topics before the sixteenth century. This hardly reflects consumer interest in the earlier periods of Lancashire and Cheshire history, and it is to be hoped that potential contributors will not be deterred from submitting papers by the preponderance of more modern papers in recent volumes. Council wishes to thank Mrs Mary Brigg and Dr lan Sellers for contributing towards the cost of this volume, also Mr R. Bromley for the volume index and for the ten year index.
