  • Adult Social Care Portfolio
    Date: October 2019 Version 1.0 Approved by DM 1 ECONOMY AND REGENERATION PORTFOLIO OVERVIEW Portfolio Summary Since launching my portfolio agreement back in July, we have made good progress in several areas and seen major development in potentially achieving better public transport. The Mayoral Development Corporation (MDC) is now a reality and the prospect of 3,500 new homes, many of which will be affordable, is now on the horizon. Working with Homes England and with cabinet agreeing to a £100m loan facility to ‘kick-start’ development, this represents a significant period in the regeneration of our town centre and realising the true potential our borough has. Indeed, with the Mailbox – aka the old Sorting Office – nearing completion, the first project within the MDC boundary is almost upon us, providing 119 new homes. Our work within the Market Place is bearing fruit: footfall is up 6.3% compared to the previous year, above the forecast of 5%. Of course, the success of the Produce Hall is central to the Market Place’s resurgence and I make no apology for being a vocal supporter of it. Of course, there is still much to do; I am still mindful that people want to see a more comprehensive outdoor offering. I do, too, but this must be sustainable for the long-term: we only need to look at what recently happened in Rochdale to understand that markets are a very delicate area within retail. Occupancy within Stockport Town Centre is on course to meet our 75% target and we are hopeful we will meet our target of 300 independent businesses within the Town Centre this year.

  • Country Iioijs1 of Greater Mancheste
    COUNTRY IIOIJS1 OF GREATER MANCHESTE * P .•» I COUNTRY HOUSES OF GREATER MANCHESTER EDITORS :J.S.F. WALKER & A.S.TINDALL (;itiL\n<it MANCHESTER ARCHAEOLOGICAL UNIT 1985 osi CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT The country house is part of the diverse and rich heritage of Greater Manchester. This volume follows the development of the country house from the Middle Ages to the present day, using a combination of .archaeological excavation, documentary research and survey to present a coherent study of a building type which reflects the social and economic development of the community in a singularly direct way. By their survival they .demonstrate the entrepreneurial skills of the owner and the abilities of those artisans who built and maintained them. The form and function of the country house change over the centuries, and the fabric of individual buildings mirrors these changes and encapsulates much of the history of the time. Many of our country houses are in good hands, well maintained and with a secure future. Many others described in this volume are already lost, and even the land upon which they stood has been so disturbed as to allow no further site investigation. Their loss, in many cases, was inevitable but I hope that this publication will create an awareness that others, too valuable to be allowed to disappear, are at risk. The protection and refurbishment of old buildings is costly, but I am confident that present conservation policies, allied with improving public and private attitudes towards preservation, have created a strong body of opinion in favour of the constructive re-use of the best of those which survive.

Most of the mill had been destroyed by a fire in 1892, but when the historians learned that a local boy scout had been distributing eighteenth-century weavers’ pay tickets to passersby, they decided to investigate. On the upper level of the remaining structure, beneath several inches of dust and debris, they found hundreds of letters, papers, account books, and other documents scattered across the floor.

  • Economy & Regeneration
    Date 26 June 2018 Version 1.0 (Cabinet) Approved by KB ECONOMY & REGENERATION PORTFOLIO HOLDER’S INTRODUCTION This is my third annual Portfolio Agreement, which summarises the Economy & Regeneration Portfolio’s work programme and its intended outcomes for the next 12 months. The 2017/18 Annual Report was published last month and this Agreement sets out how we will build on the work described in that report to make our Borough an even better place to live, visit, work and do business. We are working hard to ensure that the Borough’s economy continues to grow, but we are now placing particular emphasis on ensuring this growth is inclusive growth – growth that benefits all sections of our community. Work and skills issues are a key part of this work and earlier this year we held a Work & Skills Commission involving a series of workshops with employers, workers & jobseekers (including young people) and educators & trainers. These aimed to identify the priorities that we need to focus on to ensure our residents have access to good jobs and our workforce has the skills our employers need. Findings from the Commission will inform a work programme for a new Work & Skills Board and I will report on the Board's work in my regular performance reports. Its work will link with and complement work underway in the Reform & Governance portfolio that is investigating factors that seem to trap some of our residents in poverty. Finding and sustaining a good job can be the key to escaping poverty, but ill health can be a barrier to employment.

  • A Short History of the Township of Rivington in the County of Lancaster
    ^|S4ii^^^Si^:liif:;ivills^'; THE LIBRARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA LOS ANGELES A SHORT HISTORY OF THE TOWNSHIP OF A SHORT HISTORY OF THE TOWNSHIP OF IN THE COUNTY OF LANCASTER WITH SOME ACCOUNT OF THE CI)urcl) anil (grammar ^cl)ool BY WM. FERGUSSON IRVINE PRINTED AT THE BALLANTYNE PRESS, EDINBURGH 1904 57848^ ENGLISH LOCAL •r. •-a uj ^ PA PREFACE intention of this book is not to present the reader THEwith a dry archaeological account of the history of the township. The aim of the writer has been rather to put together a consecutive account of the descent of the Manor and the history of the Church, the old Nonconformist Chapel, and the Grammar School in a popular way, choosing in the main such incidents in the story of Rivington as illus- trate the manners and customs of our forefathers. To some people an account of this kind makes no appeal, but the writer ventures to hope that there are many who, while not attracted by the minutiae of antiquarian research, are sufficiently interested in a general way in the history of their neighbourhood to follow the story with pleasure. The idea of this book originated with Mr. W. H. Lever. When talking over the history of the countryside, Mr. Lever suggested that the scattered facts known about Rivington should be collected into a consecutive story, and this book is the outcome. It is hardly necessary to add how much the writer owes to Mr. Lever for the great interest he has taken in the work as it progressed, and for his constant encouragement and help, especially in giving full access to the Rivington charters and documents, many of which are dated as early as the thirteenth century.

A little way down the slope is the Plant Collectors border, honouring people like Frank Kingdom Ward and Reginald Farrer. Stockport has a wealth of public parks, covering periods from Tudor to Victorian to 20th century. As so many of us have discovered during various lockdowns, they are an incredible bonus to our health and well-being. In Stockport, many of the parks are linked to Stockport’s museums and civic buildings. They are very much part of the community. In this article I will concentrate on two pairs of parks, Below this is a complex of winding paths, leading the way linked by pleasant walks. to the bottom of the park. There is an ornate stone Possibly the park most familiar to members will be bridge, built in 1876, across the ‘Roman Road’.

  • AUGUST 2020 Stay Safe
    AUGUST 2020 St Mary's Church is the oldest parish church in Stockport. It stands in Churchgate overlooking the market place. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building. Cover photo courtesy of David Pechey Stay Safe - Stay in Touch Photo-montage courtesy of Bramhall U3A Photography Group August was named in honour of the Roman Emperor, Caesar Augustus (27BC to AD14). After Julius Caesar’s grandnephew Augustus defeated Marc Antony and Cleopatra, and became emperor of Rome, the Roman Senate decided that he too should have a month named after him. The month Sextillus (sex = six) was chosen. Not only did the Senate name a month after Augustus, but it decided that since Julius Caesar’s month, July, had 31 days, Augustus's month should equal it, as under the Roman, or Julian calendar, the months alternated evenly between 30 and 31 days (with the exception of February), which made August 30 days long. So, instead of August having a mere 30 days, it was lengthened to 31, preventing anyone from claiming that Emperor Augustus was saddled with an inferior month.
