  • Black Country Urban Park Barometer
    3333333 Black Country Urban Park Barometer April 2013 DRAFT WORK IN PROGRESS Welcome to the Black Country Urban Park Barometer. Transformation of the Environmental Infrastructure is one of the key to drivers identified in the Black Country Strategy for Growth and Competitiveness. The full report looks at the six themes created under the ‘Urban Park’ theme and provides a spatial picture of that theme accompanied with the key assets and opportunities for that theme. Foreword to be provided by Roger Lawrence The Strategic Context Quality of the Black Country environment is one of the four primary objectives of the Black Country Vision that has driven the preparation of the Black Country Strategy for Growth and Competitiveness through the Black Country Study process. The environment is critical to the health and well-being of future residents, workers and visitors to the Black Country. It is also both a major contributor to, and measure of, wider goals for sustainable development and living as well as being significantly important to the economy of the region. The importance and the desire for transforming the Black Country environment has been reinforced through the evidence gathering and analysis of the Black Country Study process as both an aspiration in its own right and as a necessity to achieve economic prosperity. Evidence from the Economic and Housing Studies concluded that ‘the creation of new environments will be crucial for attracting investment from high value-added firms’ and similarly that ‘a high quality healthy environment is a priority for ‘knowledge workers’. The Economic Strategy puts ‘Environmental Transformation’ alongside Education & Skills as the fundamental driver to achieve Black Country economic renaissance and prosperity for its people.

  • School Transport Information
    St Francis of Assisi Catholic Technology College Headteacher: Mrs P. Mullins, B.A. (Hons), M.A. SCHOOL TRANSPORT INFORMATION School Year 2010 - 2011 Erdington Road, Aldridge, Walsall, WS9 0RN tel: 01922 740300 fax: 01922 740330 www.stfrancis.cc [email protected] Welcome to the School Transport Information. Parents who use or intend to use school transport should take the time to read this document thoroughly paying particular attention to the information on bus passes. More than 900 of our students travel to school by either school or public transport each day. Every morning before 9 a.m. and every afternoon at 3.15 p.m, 12 buses, double- deckers and coaches and 3 taxis solely devoted to school transport arrive on the school drive. In addition a number of students use regular service buses outside the school on the Erdington Road and in Aldridge. The school experiences relatively few problems with transport. Students should aim to arrive in the morning at their designated stop at least 10 minutes prior to the scheduled arrival of the bus. If a school coach or bus does not turn up on time in the morning students should wait for at least 30 minutes. Sometimes delays occur due to traffic or weather, but the coach / bus will almost always turn up eventually. If a student misses the bus it is the parents' responsibility to make alternative ar- rangements. All services will pick up and set down at any recognised bus stop on the route. Stu- dents should put their hands out to signal the bus to stop.

  • The Lunar Society
    Ch F-X ang PD e w Click to buy NOW! w m o w c .d k. ocu-trac The Lunar Society The Lunar Circle or Society was an informal club or association of significant scientific men which flourished in and around Birmingham for nearly forty years. Origins: The origins of the Lunar Society lie in a pattern of friendships that emerged in the late 1750s. Erasmus Darwin and Matthew Boulton first met in early 1757, possibly through family connections, as Boulton's mother's family were patients of Darwin; or possibly though shared friendships, as both were admirers of the printer John Baskerville and friends of the astronomer and geologist John Michell, a regular visitor to Darwin's house in Lichfield1. Darwin was a physician and poet who had studied at Cambridge and Edinburgh; Boulton had left school at fourteen and started work in his father's business making metal goods in Birmingham at the age of 21. Despite their different backgrounds they shared a common interest in experiment and invention, and their activities would show Darwin's theoretical understanding and Boulton's practical experience to be complementary2. Soon they were visiting each other regularly and conducting investigations into scientific subjects such as electricity, meteorology and geology3. Erasmus Darwin Matthew Boulton In 1758, first Boulton and then Darwin became friends of the Derby-based clockmaker John Whitehurst. The link began with Whitehurst supplying clock movements to Boulton’s manufacturing operation but then extended into other experiments. Boulton, Darwin and Whitehurst were in turn introduced by Mitchell to Benjamin Franklin on his visit to Birmingham in July 1758 "to improve and increase Acquaintance among Persons of Influence"4, and Franklin returned in 1760 to conduct experiments with Boulton on electricity and sound5.

  • Case Name: Great Barr Hall and Chapel Case Number: 1432461
    Historic England Advice Report 27 April 2016 Case Name: Great Barr Hall and Chapel Case Number: 1432461 Background Historic England has been asked to assess Great Barr Hall to ensure that its statutory listing at Grade II* is appropriate. The present amendment case was raised internally and follows discussions with interested parties concerning the fact that the building is on the Buildings at Risk Register. The hall was listed at Grade II* in 1971 and the designation of the Hall and the Registered landscape were last considered for amendment in 2008. At that time the boundary of the registered park was redrawn and the grades were confirmed at Grade II* for the house and Grade II for the park. The hall building functioned as a hospital until 1978, together with a cluster of purpose-built, mid-C20 hospital structures to the south-east of the hall. The C20 hospital buildings were demolished in the early-C21 and replaced by a denser residential development, grouped around a former driveway to the hall. The Hall has gradually become dilapidated and the park is overgrown in some areas. A previous owner had plans to restore the hall with money from an enabling development in part of the park, but this did not happen. The present owners also wish to restore the house to use as a wedding venue and conference centre through an enabling development. The site was formerly fenced and guarded at all times, but this constant vigil has now lessened and there are signs of vandalism on site, together with further dilapidation.

Yours sincerely, Roger Pratt CBE Boundary Review Manager WEST MIDLANDS REGION Submission of the Conservative Party regarding the responses to the initial proposals for the West Midlands region 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 We note that the Commission have received a large number of representations from the West Midlands proportionally larger than any other Region. 1.2 We note that the large majority of the representations are in opposition to the proposals, although in certain places a large number of representations support the proposals of the Commission, for example in Staffordshire Moorlands. 1.3 We note that a very large number of representations have come from Sutton Coldfield but we believe a lot of the representations there are based on misunderstandings and misinformation. 1.4 We will examine the proposals and any counter-proposals on the basis of Rule 5 of the Rules for Redistribution of Seats – Schedule 2 to the Act. 1.5 In particular we will look at the factors that can be taken account of under Rule 5 (1): a) Geographical factors; b) Local Government boundaries; c) Existing constituencies; d) Local ties that are broken from existing constituencies. 1.6 We note that both the Labour Party and the Liberal Democrats have submitted comprehensive counter-proposals.
