  • Electoral Review of Salford City Council
    Electoral review of Salford City Council Response to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England’s consultation on Warding Patterns August 2018 1 1 Executive Summary 1.1 Salford in 2018 has changed dramatically since the city’s previous electoral review of 2002. Salford has seen a turnaround in its fortunes over recent years, reversing decades of population decline and securing high levels of investment. The city is now delivering high levels of growth, in both new housing and new jobs, and is helping to drive forward both Salford’s and the Greater Manchester economies. 1.2 The election of the Greater Manchester Mayor and increased devolution of responsibilities to Greater Manchester, and the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, is fundamentally changing the way Salford City Council works in areas of economic development, transport, work and skills, planning, policing and more recently health and social care. 1.3 Salford’s directly elected City Mayor has galvanised the city around eight core priorities – the Great Eight. Delivering against these core priorities will require the sustained commitment and partnership between councillors, partners in the private, public, community and voluntary and social enterprise sectors, and the city’s residents. This is even more the case in the light of ongoing national policy changes, the impending departure of the UK from the EU, and continued austerity in funding for vital local services. The city’s councillors will have an absolutely central role in delivering against these core priorities, working with all our partners and residents to harness the energies and talents of all of the city.

  • Anderton Boat Lift to National Waterways Museum,Ellesmere Port - Cruise Duration Approx 6 Hours
    ANDERTON BOAT LIFT TO NATIONAL WATERWAYS MUSEUM,ELLESMERE PORT - CRUISE DURATION APPROX 6 HOURS Our cruise departs from our berth below the Anderton Boat Lift, also known as ‘The Cathedral of the Canals’. This magnificent structure was built in 1875 to elevate narrow boats, laden with cargo, 50ft between the River Weaver and The Trent & Mersey Canal. The lift was designed by the River Weaver trustees chief engineer Edward Leader Williams with Edwin Clark as the principal designer. The structure is designated as a scheduled monument and is included in the National Heritage list for England. Today it is an award-winning visitor destination offering leisure boaters a link between the two waterways and an informative visitor centre, café and children’s play area. Anderton Basin is a reminder of the Weaver’s industrial past when barges and ocean-going ships lined the berths loading and unloading cargo, predominantly for the chemical industry. Although the Tatter Chemical Plant is still operational, the last commercial cargo ship to use the river was The Saint Keiran back in 1998. Within 10 minutes of starting the journey from the lift we will pass through Winnington Swing Bridge which is the smallest of the river’s five swing bridges, and as soon as you pass through the bridge look out in the undergrowth for what looks like an old dry dock, but is actually an ice weir built to remove large floating chunks of ice from the river to keep it clear for traffic in the days when the river used to regularly freeze over.

  • The Manchester Ship Canal and Salford Quays
    The Manchester Ship Canal and Salford Quays By Heather Webb, BSc (Hons) MSc, Senior Aquatic Scientist, APEM Limited. Manchester Ship Canal History The Manchester Ship Canal (MSC) was opened in 1894 and at the time, was the largest navigation in the world. The Canal is 58 km long, linking Eastham on the Mersey Estuary to Manchester, terminating upstream at the four docks in Salford (formerly known as Manchester Docks) and four smaller docks at Pomona (1 km upstream). The docks prospered and became one of Britain’s largest ports, reaching a peak in the 1950’s. During the second half of the twentieth century, however, containerisation and changing world trade patterns led to the demise of the docks and they were closed in 1984 leaving an abandoned 60 ha site including a polluted water course. Legacy Problems The industrial history associated with the Mersey Basin, Excessive bubbling encompassing the Rivers Mersey and Irwell and the MSC, left a legacy of poor water quality and sediment contamination. The MSC was one of the most severely polluted waterways in the UK with a one hundred year legacy of industrial, agricultural and sewage pollution. Water quality was very poor, being characterised by low Sediment rafts water column dissolved oxygen, high levels of suspended organic material and elevated nutrient concentrations. There was also excessive gas production from the anoxic sediments which produced foul odours and lifted mats of sediment to the surface, both of which acted as a serious deterrent to waterside development. The structure of the MSC (deep, slow flowing and with steep vertical sides) further exacerbated the water quality problems.

  • Heritage at Risk
    Heritage at Risk Contents Introduction Dilapidation in progress History 360 degree view Future Uses Costs and Future Action Report prepared by Altrincham & Bowdon Civic Society June 2020 https://altrinchamandbowdoncs.com/ Introduction Altrincham, Broadheath and Timperley have 48 listed buildings. The Broadheath Canal Warehouse is Grade II listed. It has been allowed to deteriorate to the point where unless remedial action is taken it may become lost for ever. It is our heritage and if we want future generation to understand and be in touch their history, action is required. The Bridgewater Canal was the first contour canals built in the Britain necessitating not a single lock throughout its 39½ mile length. The initial length of the canal, Worsley to Castlefield, was opened in 1761 with permission to build the extension from Stretford to Broadheath allowing that section to open in 1767. The further extension through to Runcorn was opened in 1769 allowing the link up with the Trent and Mersey Canal at Preston Brook. The Duke of Bridgewater had been smart enough to also purchase the land at Broadheath where the turnpike road from Chester to Manchester would cross the canal. Here he established many wharfs along the canal bank to handle goods going into Manchester, principally vegetables from the new market gardens which sprang up around Broadheath. On the return journey the boats brought back coal from the Duke’s mines in Worsley which was used to heat local homes and power small industries. The wharfs at Broadheath handled timber, sand, slates, bricks, limestone to make mortar, raw cotton and flax, and finished good.
