  • 2018-0411 Response by Greater Manchester Police
    GREATER MANCHESTER POLICE Ian Hopkins QPM, MBA Chief Constable Ms Joanne Kearsley HM Senior Coroner HM Coroner's Court The Phoenix Centre, L/Cpl Stephen Shaw MC Way Heywood OL191LR 28 February 2019 Dear Ms Kearsley Re: Regulation 28 Report following the Inquest touching upon the death of Gregory Rewkowski Thank you for your report sent by email dated 3 January 2019 in respect of Gregory Rewkowski (deceased) and pursuant to Regulations 28 and 29 of The Coroners (Investigations) Regulations 2013 and paragraph 7, Schedule 5 of the Coroners and Justice Act 2009. Having carefully considered your report and the matters therein, I reply to the concerns raised as follows: Extract from Regulation 28, point 1: There is a lack of acknowledgement of the role of the police when dealing with people who are taken on a Section 136 from their own home. The Court did not explore the numbers of Section 136 patients who are taken to a place of safety from their home address. The Court heard how Mr Rewkowski had been taken from his own home on the 1th September. Other agencies are clearly familiar with this process and how GMP facilitate this. However this was also used as an explanation as to why GMP may have been restricted in what they could do on the 2th and 2Efh October i.e. " ... there is nothing we can do if we attend at his own home. We have no powers." There appears to be a significant difference between the legal position and the practical reality of how police deal with such matters if they are called to a home address.

  • Greater Manchester Green Belt: Additional Assessment of Sites Outside of the Green Belt
    Greater Manchester Green Belt: Additional Assessment of Sites Outside of the Green Belt Study Background In 2016, LUC was commissioned on behalf of the ten Greater Manchester Authorities by Manchester City Council to undertake an assessment of the Green Belt within Greater Manchester. The study provided an objective, evidence-based and independent assessment of how Manchester’s Green Belt contributes to the five purposes of Green Belt, as set out in paragraph 80 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) (see Box 1 below). The original assessment also examined the performance of 58 potential additional areas of land that currently lie outside the Green Belt. Box 1: The purposes of Green Belt 1. To check the unrestricted sprawl of large built-up areas. 2. To prevent neighbouring towns merging into one another. 3. To assist in safeguarding the countryside from encroachment. 4. To preserve the setting and special character of historic towns. 5. To assist in urban regeneration, by encouraging the recycling of derelict and other urban land. In 2018, LUC were commissioned to undertake an assessment of 32 additional areas of land that do not lie within the Manchester Green Belt, to assess how they perform against the NPPF Green Belt purposes. The additional areas were identified by the authorities of Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport and Wigan. The assessment was undertaken using the same assessment methodology used for the 2016 study which is detailed in Chapter 3 of the Greater Manchester Green Belt Assessment (July 2016). This methodology is not repeated here but as per the original study it involved both a desked based assessment and field visits to all of the areas of land.
