  • Open Space Strategy 2014 - 2028
    Open Space Strategy 2014 - 2028 Foreword Councillor Robert McCardle Cabinet Member Planning and Business Enterprise I am pleased to introduce the second Open Space Strategy for South Staffordshire. It aims to build on the successes from the previous strategy and looks at future ways to provide the open spaces that the district’s residents and visitors deserve. Open spaces provide essential facilities for all kinds of recreational activity, aid people’s health and wellbeing, assist in supporting the economy, mitigate the impacts of climate change and are part of the solution to flooding. In short, they are vitally important in creating sustainable places and sustainable communities as well as providing a wealth of other environmental benefits. It is therefore necessary to ensure that open space considerations form part of the Council’s strategic planning work. We have recently completed a major piece of work on the provision of indoor and outdoor sports facilities. That work is complementary to this Open Space Strategy and, together they will contribute to a Supplementary Planning Document on Open Space, Sport and Recreation that supports policies in the Local Plan. Only by careful strategic planning can we make sure that existing open spaces are safeguarded and enhanced and that new sites are provided through the development management process. We have set an ambitious but achievable set of challenges that will be met through the implementation of this strategy. Over the course of the next 15 years, we will meet these challenges and deliver the vision for open spaces in South Staffordshire. 1 Foreword Councillor Mrs Mary Bond Cabinet Member Community Services Open spaces are one of the most visible services the Council provides.

  • 1 the Staffordshire High Sheriff's County Cycle Ride 2020 In
    The Staffordshire High Sheriff’s County cycle ride 2020 In accordance with the current Government guidelines our small ‘Posse’ of six cyclists, consisting of Charlie Bagot Jewitt (High Sheriff), Howard Price, Peter Deaville, Charlie Gillow (who, incidentally, has been inoculated as part of the Oxford Covid-19 trial), Rupert Browning and Toby Roe, met at Blithfield Hall 0930 on Saturday 1 August to embark on a sponsored cycle around the boundary of Staffordshire. The aim was to raise money for the Staffordshire Community Foundation https://staffsfoundation.org.uk/ which has supported many small charities throughout the Covid-19 Crisis and to publicise Staffordshire County https://www.enjoystaffordshire.com/ , right in the centre of England, as a great ‘Staycation’ destination. The variety found within Staffordshire is astounding. Did you know that Staffordshire has more miles of Canal than any other County? We set out to cover much of it on the ride. As a small local group of under thirty people gathered outside the Hall https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blithfield_Hall , Cosy Bagot Jewitt served up sausages and rolls and cups of coffee and Rev Simon Davis, High Sheriff’s Chaplain, and a keen cyclist himself, gave a Blessing. At precisely 1000, Joy Strachan-Brain of the Band ‘Quill’ https://www.quilluk.com/ and Bev Bevan, their Drummer and formerly of ELO, waved us off with two Union Flags. Leaving Blithfield Hall (Photo: Lydia Heath) Staffordshire Police were on hand, led by Chief Inspector Clair Langley, and supported the ride at every stage https://www.staffordshire.police.uk . 1 Towards Colton with Cannock Chase https://cannockchase.org.uk/ in the background (Photo: Lydia Heath) Travelling down the B5013 towards Colton and turning right towards Bishton Hall, where another small party cheered us on, we joined the Trent & Mersey Canal Towpath at Wolseley Bridge https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/enjoy-the-waterways/canal-and-river- network/trent-and-mersey-canal .

  • GREEN FLAG PARK AWARDS Most People Have Heard of the Blue Flag Beach Awards Scheme Which Gives Reassurance That a Seaside Beach Is Clean and Safe to Bathe From
    Newsletter of the Staffordshire Gardens and Parks Trust. Registered Charity No. 1013862. WINTER 2015 ISSUE No. 53 News Staffordshire Gardens & Parks Trust Published by the Staffordshire Gardens and Parks Trust. c/o South Staffordshire LETTER Council, Wolverhampton Road, Codsall, Staffordshire WV8 1PX. Tel: 01902 696000 GREEN FLAG PARK AWARDS Most people have heard of the Blue Flag beach awards scheme which gives reassurance that a seaside beach is clean and safe to bathe from. By comparison, given that most of us only visit the seaside once a year, tend to live a long way from the coast and generally have a public park somewhere in our neighbourhood, relatively few people are aware of the Green Flag Park award scheme which will be celebrating its 20th anniversary next year. This is all the more surprising as getting on for 1400 parks (almost 10% of the total in the UK) now hold the award which aims to do for parks what Blue Flag does for beaches. The Green Flag Park Award scheme was but tidy and well kempt beds); a minimal set up in 1996 by the Pesticides Trust, (preferably zero) use of pesticides and The Institute of Leisure and Amenity peat; and have a promotional or marketing Management (ILAM) and English Nature strategy that is appropriate to the against a background of declining local site. Parks also have to show how they authority spending on public parks, acknowledge and respect both the natural compulsory competitive tendering driving heritage of their site and any features down both prices and standards, and of historic interest (both layout and growing realisation of the value of parks to historic structures).
