    Engagement to Date Presentation Morecambe Bay CCG Aims and Objectives This presentation will highlight the engagement activities carried out on behalf of Morecambe Bay CCG. Summer 2018 continued We continue to support the Carnforth Community Choir which is a community led initiative where people use singing to improve their physical, mental and emotional health. The Choir was set up by a member of the community, following a series of public events organised by Morecambe Bay CCG.

Summer 2018 continued • Members of Morecambe Bay CCG continue to attend the South Lakeland Health and Wellbeing Forum which includes members from organisations in the public sector, county council, schools and third sector organisations – in order to encourage partnership working and share knowledge and resources across the area. • The July meeting included an extended discussion about the NHS Integrated Care Communities and the County Councils’ Community Wellbeing Groups; looking at how we can work better together and have a more joined up approach. Summer 2018 continued • Following a long period of high temperatures, members of the team at Morecambe Bay CCG produced and shared a press release advising the public on how to stay safe in the heat this summer.

  • SCHEMES for the RECLAMATION of LAND from the SEA in NORTH LANCASHIRE DURING the EIGHTEENTH and NINETEENTH CENTURIES Read 20 Febr
    SCHEMES FOR THE RECLAMATION OF LAND FROM THE SEA IN NORTH LANCASHIRE DURING THE EIGHTEENTH AND NINETEENTH CENTURIES BY WILLIAM ROLLINSON, M.A. Read 20 February 1964 OME of the earliest schemes for the reclamation of land S from the sea in North Lancashire were implemented by the monks of Furness Abbey in the thirteenth century. In the fervour of Cistercian colonisation and agricultural reclamation, several areas on Walney Island were reclaimed by the construction of embankments or dykes of beach pebbles. There is some evidence to suggest that several of these dykes were constructed on both the west and east coasts of the island, but only the great Biggar Dyke on the east coast remains today, the west coast embank­ ments having been destroyed by marine erosion. Extending for almost a mile north-west of the village of Biggar, the dyke protected part of the east coast of Walney and prevented inundation of low-lying ground during spring tides. During the medieval period it was maintained and repaired by the monastic tenants in Furness, but after the dissolution of the abbey in 1537 the responsibility was assumed by the Crown, and in 1564 by the inhabitants of Walney. In spite of such an early and promising beginning, the progress of land reclamation and agricultural development was retarded after the dissolution, and it was not until the eighteenth century and the period of the Agricultural Revolution that interest was again aroused. Under the stimulus of a rapidly growing urban market and a rise in the price of grain during the Napoleonic wars, the period between the mid-eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries was one of agricultural expansion and improvement.

  • With a Lack of Investment in Technology for a Decade, This Is How a Community-Based Primary School Caught up and Are Now in a St
    With a lack of investment in technology for a decade, this is how a community-based Primary School caught up and are now in a strong position to improve the education of all of their pupils The background Vickerstown Primary and Brambles Nursery School is a beautiful setting in the idyllic coastal town of Barrow-in-Furness in Cumbria in North West England. Given the remote location, employment can be limited, so the school is seen as a beacon in the local environment. This is reflected in a clear vision to provide an outstanding education at the heart of their community, making every effort for the children at Vickerstown to have the best academic start and grounding possible to enable them to become successful members of society. The 159 pupils come from a mixed catchment – some with Education, Health and Care Plans – bringing added obligations on the staff to help ensure all children receive the very best care and support. The school has a proven local reputation for the support they provide to children with autism. The challenge Vickerstown Primary moved to new purpose-built premises in 2011 and received significant investment to help embed the use of technology in teaching and learning across the school at that time. However, since then – almost 10 years ago – there has been very little further investment in technology, and a technical audit undertaken in February 2020 concluded: • the underlying server operating systems and the majority of user device operating systems were unsupported and posed a potential security risk • student devices were aging and impacting the learning within the school.
