As part of the ODPM’s Pathfinder Initiative, an extensive programme of large scale housing market restructuring and renewal has been advanced by RENEW across the conurbation. The scale and pace of this renewal requires that a clear and extensive understanding of the sub-region’s green space resource must be acquired so that green space can fulfil its role of enhancing local quality of life. The purpose of the commission is, therefore, to guide the restructuring quality improvement of existing space in the conurbation to support this regeneration. To this end, an audit of the study area’s green spaces has been carried out and analysed to provide a comprehensive basis current and future requirements in relation to the North Staffordshire Housing Market Renewal Initiative and parallel regeneration activity by the North Staffordshire Regeneration Zone/AWM, the local Authorities, English Partnership and other key Partners. 1.2 National Context The need for a green space audit is given further weight by the recommendations and principles advocated by Planning Policy Guidance Note 17: Planning for open space, sport and recreation (PPG17). The guidance notes that: J:\D108508 - North Staffordshire Green Space Strategy\07 Deliverables\07.1 Reports\Phase one & two report\FINAL.doc & two one Reports\Phase Deliverables\07.1 Strategy\07 Space Green Staffordshire North - J:\D108508 “the main purpose of undertaking a local assessment is to plan positively, creatively and effectively to ensure that there is adequate provision of accessible, high quality green spaces, civic spaces and sport and recreation facilities to meet the needs of local communities and visitors.” September 2005 Scott Wilson Wilson Scott | 8 urban NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE GREEN SPACE AUDIT Phase One & Two Report It is intended that an independent audit of green spaces would, therefore provide a robust framework upon which decisions regarding their conservation, enhancement or disposal may be made. This document includes findings and analysis of the green space audit as well as a review of relevant policy. In addition, a study of the landscape context has been included and a brief analysis of potential links between green space delivery and housing market uplift has been presented. The findings of a neighbourhood survey in relation to green space are also included here. The audit findings and the desktop review and analysis will provide an important and locally relevant knowledge and evidence base to inform phase 3 of the commission. This future phase will use the findings in this document to develop a strategy for green space design, delivery, maintenance and management across the sub-region, taking into account the needs and aspirations of local residents as well as the visions presented by the current masterplanning exercises which are being developed for the key Pathfinder Areas of Major Intervention at Meir, Knutton and Cross Heath and the urban core (the area relating to Burslem, Middleport and Hanley).

  • Kemball School Spring 2020 Newsletter
    Kemball School Spring 2020 Newsletter Hello Everyone, Well I never thought that we would be ending the Spring term like this, with the whole country on lockdown, worried about catching a potentially deadly virus. These are indeed very scary times. This virus is very serious otherwise the Government would not be taking such extreme steps to protect people from catching and spreading it. With this in mind, as you know, we have made the decision to only open to certain pupils whose parents are either key workers or where, in conjunction with social care, we have identified that children will be at a greater risk by not coming into school. We made this decision for the following reasons: In order to provide a safe environment for our students, we need high ratios of well trained, medically competent, experienced staff who understand your children. With staff illness and their own vulnerabilities I can’t guarantee the same high student to teacher ratios that we need to safely meet the needs of the students. Concerns about the potential risk to the health of our children – if we take the government advice, by the very nature of our school, our children have underlying health conditions that make them vulnerable. Government guidance has identified having a learning need as being a vulnerable category. The Government have seemed to forgotten that having an EHCP won’t protect your child from catching the virus or bringing it back to their family. We are unable to keep a social distance in a school – our students are sociable and have no concept of personal space – we are unable to socially isolate Your child is having close 1:1 personal contact with our staff, particularly if they need physical management, feeding and personal care.
