  • Pendle Sculpture Trail in an Atmospheric Woodland Setting
    Walk distance: It is approximately 1 mile to get to the trail from Barley Car Park including one uphill stretch and one steep path. Once in Aitken Wood, which is situated on a slope, you could easily walk another mile walking around. Please wear stout footwear as there can be some muddy stretches after wet weather. Allow around 2 to 3 hours for your visit. See back cover for details on how to book a tramper vehicle for easier access to the wood for people with walking difficulties. Visit the Pendle Sculpture Trail in an atmospheric woodland setting. Art, history and nature come together against the stunning backdrop of Pendle Hill. Four artists have created a unique and intriguing range of sculptures. Their work is inspired by the history of the Pendle Witches of 1612 and the natural world in this wild and beautiful corner of Lancashire. A Witches Plaque Explore the peaceful setting of Aitken Wood to find ceramic plaques by Sarah McDade. She’s designed each one individually to symbolise the ten people from Pendle who were accused of witchcraft over 400 years ago. You’ll also find an inspiring range of sculptures, large and small, which are created from wood, steel and stone, including Philippe Handford’s amazing The Artists (as pictured here left to right) are Philippe Handford (Lead curving tree sculptures.

  • Lancashire Behaviour Support Tool
    Lancashire Behaviour Support Tool Introduction Lancashire is committed to achieving excellent outcomes for its children and young people. Our aim for all our young people is for them to have the best possible start in life so that all have the opportunity to fulfill their learning potential. Schools and other settings should be safe and orderly places where all children and young people can learn and develop. The consequences of behaviour which challenges others can, if not addressed effectively, impact negatively on individual pupils and groups of pupils. The need for the Local Authority, schools and other partners to work together to address behavioural issues is essential if we are to promote high standards of achievement and attainment for all. The purpose of the Behaviour Support tool is to produce accessible, and accurate information for schools and settings in one place, on sources of training, support and advice led by Lancashire services and clear pathways in relation to meeting pupil's social, emotional and behavioural needs. Aims 1. To develop safe, calm and ordered school environments within which pupils are able to learn and develop and thrive. 2. To develop skills for emotional literacy, positive social relationships and emotional health and well-being among pupils to take into their adult lives beyond school. 3. To Improve capacity within our schools and other settings to include all our pupils including those children and young people who, at times, may present very challenging behaviour, as a result of a variety of factors originating both within the child or young person or resulting from their social environment.

  • Item 6 Budget Savings Appendix (No Grants To
    APPENDIX A Ref No: Saving (5) & (6) PENDLE BOROUGH COUNCIL 2016/17 GENERAL FUND REVENUE BUDGET – SAVINGS PROPOSAL 1. SERVICE Financial Services 2. IMPLEMENTATION DATE: 1/4/16 3. CORPORATE PRIORITY Maintaining a sustainable, resilient and efficient organisation Working with partners and the community to sustain services of good value 4. TITLE OF PROPOSAL (5) Removal of Revenue Grants to Town and Parish Councils (6) Removal of Local Council Tax Support Grant to Town and Parish Councils 5. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL: To stop payment of revenue and council tax support grants to Town and Parish Council’s. Grants were reduced by 50% in the 2015/16 budget process with an intention, noted at that time, of reducing them to Nil from 2016/17. An extract from the Minutes of the Council meeting held on 18th December 2014 is reproduced below: RESOLVED That the proposed revenue grant allocations for individual Town and Parish Councils for 2015/16 be approved (as shown at Appendix A attached to the report) and that it be noted that it was the Council’s intention that grants would not be payable from 2016/17 onwards. 6. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS (NET ADDITIONAL SAVINGS) 2016/17 2017/18 2018/19 £ £ £ Revenue 78,380 0 0 Capital 0 0 0 7. IMPACT ON SERVICE PROVISION, IMPLEMENTATION AND OTHER ISSUES None directly for the Borough Council but the impact will be experienced by local councils which will either have to absorb the loss of income or more likely look to recover it from local taxpayers via higher precepts. With the severe financial constraints the Council is facing there is increasing pressure on services and facilities; at the same time there is more flexibility for town and parish councils to increase their resources by raising their precepts whereas the Council’s scope for generating additional income from Council Tax is severely limited.

This will be done in due course. (b) Councillors Donovan and Wilkinson had met with a representative from Playdale, the suppliers of the original play equipment. It was agreed that some of the equipment was nearing the end of its working life and there was potential for development. If the football pitch was to be reduced in size, then the area at the top (Newchurch side) could accommodate a larger climbing frame for older children. The equipment in the top park was also looking tired; although if equipment was removed it was unlikely it could be replaced due to the gradient and current legislation.
