  • Preston Bus Station: Heritage, Regeneration, and Resistance
    Preston Bus Station: Heritage, Regeneration, and Resistance Mark Toogood and Hannah Neate Dr Mark Toogood Dr Hannah Neate Geography, School of Built and Natural Geography, School of Built and Natural Environment, Environment, University of Central Lancashire University of Central Lancashire [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Since 2000 Preston Bus Station has twice been threatened with demolition as part of proposed regeneration schemes in the city. Both times there has been sustained public resistance against its destruction. Based on interviews and participant observation, the research on which this paper draws asked why a formerly unloved and unprotected example of Brutalist 1960s architecture has become a public icon. The paper identifies and explores the diverse range and significance of peoples’ articulations and actions — ranging from the local to global; from economic argument to affective and embodied interventions. These articulations are often non-expert, diffuse, expressed within social networks, as well as in inventive performative actions. Such activity has tacitly and productively blurred together forming an ‘assemblage’ of resistance. This assemblage of disparate agents represents a fresh public re-evaluation and democratisation of the building’s value, in addition to rejecting the building’s planned demise. More broadly we suggest that this ‘non-‘ or ‘tacit’ campaign also contests prevalent retail-led, investment-driven urban regeneration and articulates different possibilities for the Bus Station within Preston and its putative redevelopment. Key words Preston Bus Station; heritage; geography of architecture; iconic architecture 1 Introduction Use the term ‘icon Preston’ in a web search and the returns will include images dominated by photographs, predominantly in black and white, of the Brutalist horizontal lines of Preston Bus Station (hereafter PBS).

  • Title Preston Bus Station
    Title Preston Bus Station: architectural history, politics and democracy in a post-World War II designation saga Abstract This paper discusses the fifteen-year fight for the statutory heritage designation of the Central Bus Station and Car Park in Preston, Lancashire, England, a case that has become known internationally as a landmark of post-WWII heritage. It focuses on the role of democratic politics within architectural heritage by examining the opposing roles played by those holding official elected positions and by members of the general public engaging in direct democracy. The discussion elaborates on how research in architectural history took on an “insurgent” political role; supporting the formal expert position and managing by public participation to overturn official heritage policy. The paper situates the case study within the broader critical development of architectural history and heritage studies and argues that criticality has infiltrated practices in both areas and their interactions. It also argues that social and cultural practices in architectural heritage are ever-changing and that “democratic” approaches appear in various guises that require close scrutiny and constant updates. Although the geographical location of the building is outside the Asia-Pacific region, the issues dealt with here often relate to modern architecture around the globe. Introduction The Central Bus Station and Car Park in Preston, Lancashire, England, is a purpose-built complex completed in 1969, subsequently referred to as Preston Bus Station

    LBP0018 Written evidence submitted by The Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium Education Select Committee Left behind white pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds Inquiry SUBMISSION FROM THE NORTHERN POWERHOUSE EDUCATION CONSORTIUM Introduction and summary of recommendations Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium are a group of organisations with focus on education and disadvantage campaigning in the North of England, including SHINE, Northern Powerhouse Partnership (NPP) and Tutor Trust. This is a joint submission to the inquiry, acting together as ‘The Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium’. We make the case that ethnicity is a major factor in the long term disadvantage gap, in particular white working class girls and boys. These issues are highly concentrated in left behind towns and the most deprived communities across the North of England. In the submission, we recommend strong actions for Government in particular: o New smart Opportunity Areas across the North of England. o An Emergency Pupil Premium distribution arrangement for 2020-21, including reform to better tackle long-term disadvantage. o A Catch-up Premium for the return to school. o Support to Northern Universities to provide additional temporary capacity for tutoring, including a key role for recent graduates and students to take part in accredited training. About the Organisations in our consortium SHINE (Support and Help IN Education) are a charity based in Leeds that help to raise the attainment of disadvantaged children across the Northern Powerhouse. Trustees include Lord Jim O’Neill, also a co-founder of SHINE, and Raksha Pattni. The Northern Powerhouse Partnership’s Education Committee works as part of the Northern Powerhouse Partnership (NPP) focusing on the Education and Skills agenda in the North of England.

The starting point was centred around wool and later cotton became the major commodity that was influencing the economy. Through the inventions of people like Richard Arkwright and James Hargreaves, the textile industry received the technological advance that it needed and this in turn pushed Britain into the world’s major proponent in the textile industry. Further expansions continued until the mid 18th century, when the difficulty in obtaining raw cotton and competition from other countries began to mark the decline for the cotton industry in Britain.

  • SOUTH SECONDARY 2016-17 Revised P49 (29 Sept
    Definitions For Voluntary Aided, Foundation, Free Schools and Academies for Admission Purposes The following terms used throughout this booklet are defined as follows, except where individual arrangements spell out a different definition. Distance The 'straight line' method of measurement only applies for admission purposes. For transport 'walking routes' are used to determine distance. Explanations of these terms can be found in the main booklet. Parents/Family Members A parent is any person who has parental responsibility or care of the child. Where admission arrangements refer to 'parent's attendance at church' it is sufficient for just one parent to attend. 'Family members' include only parents and siblings. Medical/Social/Welfare Where schools have a medical/social/welfare admission criterion then this should take into account the circumstances of the child and the family. Please note the Local Authority information in the accompanying admissions booklet. Looked After Children The School Admissions Code (December 2014) states that within the oversubscription criteria, the highest priority must be given to looked after children and previously looked after children. Previously looked after children are children who were looked after, but ceased to be so because they were adopted (or became subject to a child arrangement, special guardianship or accommodation order). Further references to previously looked after children in the Code means such children who were adopted (or subject to child arrangement orders or special guardianship orders) immediately following having been looked after. Admission Authorities for faith schools may give priority to all looked after children and previously looked after children whether or not of the faith, but they must give priority to looked after children and previously looked after children of the faith before other children of the faith.
