ROYAL BRITISH LEGION 4 RBL Mag text:A5 Single page default 8/10/13 12:16 Page 5 FROM THE AREA MANAGER This note is written as most of the practical steps of a major endeavour are nearing completion; called Pathway for Growth it aims to bring the Royal British Legion and its work closer to the public. Over the rest of 2013 in particular, the implementation of the new structure, changes to both the volunteer organisation and welfare procedures will become more evident in our activities covering the Four Pillars: Welfare, Representation, Remembrance and Comradeship. The restructuring has seen the formation of the Northern Area; many of the administrative non membership support activities once conducted at offices in Kendal and Hebburn have been combined and centred on the current Area Office in Hebburn. Work has now commenced in identifying a permanent Area Office in the centre of Newcastle upon Tyne, although it is likely to be another year or so before a move can take place. Some familiar names are retiring whilst new posts are created. Mrs Una Bell has taken over as County Secretary for Cumberland and Westmorland County and as Membership Administrator for the Isle of Man. Also taking up new appointments are Sarah Fitzpatrick as Case Officer Cumbria South, Danielle Warwick as Case Officer for Cumbria North and Kerry Newham as Advice and Information Officer in Cumbria. Elaine Marston becomes Case Officer Tees Valley and Mary Douglas Advice and Information Officer Newcastle. Joining us in the near future will be Ian McGreal and Suzanne Guthrie-Gower, both Case Officers in Newcastle, Amy Clifford Case Officer County Durham and Rosi Thornton Advice and Information Officer Tees Valley. All the new welfare staff will require training in the new roles and new systems. Our voluntary Caseworkers will be offered a role change and training to suit their wishes. Whilst most of the changes mentioned are internal, the major change for members of the Armed Forces Community seeking our assistance from this Autumn will be the change in the method of contacting us; in the future this will be either via a free advice line phone number or on-line. All this takes place at a time when the need for our support is as great as ever, but these changes will enable us to provide a more rounded service to those who need our help, allowing them more involvement in the assistance that is provided, whilst working more closely with our partners. Change is a difficult time for those involved and we have many challenges ahead but I do believe that when all is in place we will certainly be able to provide much better support and guidance for our beneficiaries, ensuring that we maintain welfare provision at the heart of all our activities.

The Royal British Legion is the largest service and ex-service welfare provider; we are very proud of what we do and what we achieve for our very big family, but its all thanks to you for your support by donating to the Poppy Appeal throughout the year. I have been the County Chairman for Cumberland and Westmorland County for the past 11 years and have enjoyed every minute representing our County throughout the country. I’ve met some really wonderfully generous people on my travels who don’t just give money but their precious time to help deliver our services to those in need. If you would like to help the Legion in any way, do contact us; we will be only too happy to have a chat to see how you could help – we are always looking for volunteers. Contact Telephone number 08457 725 725 – this is a free phone number if you are able to help in any way. In July this year, I had the great honour to meet our Patron, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth and Her Royal Highness Princess Anne during their visit to Kendal – a great honour indeed. Ten Representatives of the Legion were presented to the Royal Party including Mr Neville Howard, the County President, County Vice Chairman Mr Eddy Dixon, the County Secretary Mr Tony Crane, Mrs Sarah Fitzpatrick our Welfare Officer and Mrs Nora Bowman and Mrs Thelma Richardson who represented the Women’s Section. Our group also included a Branch Chairman and two Poppy Appeal Organisers to ensure that all aspects of the Legion’s work in Cumbria were represented. It was truly a very great honour and a day never to forget. My County Committee Members are a great support as are all our Members within the County; They all work so hard for the Legion in so many ways and I take this opportunity to thank them for their services to me and the Legion. We also have our staff in the County Office at Kendal; these are the backbone of the welfare support within Cumbria and they are one of the biggest County Offices providing welfare within the Legion – well done to all of them. This is my last year as County Chairman as I’ve decided to retire in December 2013 because of an increasing workload in my civilian job.

    Comments for Planning Application 20/03090/OUT Application Summary Application Number: 20/03090/OUT Address: Car Park East Of Blue Bell Mount Pleasant West Mickley Northumberland Proposal: Outline application for construction of 3no. detached 4 bedroomed dwellings and re- configuring of existing carpark Case Officer: Mr Callum Harvey Customer Details Name: Mr Ian Dickinson Address: 23 Mount Pleasant, West Mickley, Stocksfield, Northumberland NE43 7LP Comment Details Commenter Type: Neighbour Stance: Customer objects to the Planning Application Comment Reasons: Comment:We wish to register our opposition the proposed 'development'. There are many errors, inaccuracies and contradictions in the submitted proposal. The grounds for our objection are detailed below. 1. Proposed Site Plan The drawing is inaccurate in so much as the northern boundary of the site is represented as being in line with the southern wall of the property opposite (No18 Mount Pleasant) In reality the northern boundary of the car park is aligned with the southern boundary of the access road of Bat cottage. Correcting this inaccuracy has the effect of making the site considerably smaller than is represented by the site drawing. This calls into question the ability to accommodate the 3 properties and 18 car parking spaces. The southern boundary of the proposed 'development' site is a public right of way crossing the land of the neighbouring property. This is not shown on the submitted 'existing site plan' The 'proposed site plan', as submitted, implies that the development would include some of the land to the north of the site. 2. Design and Access Statement The car park is "previously developed land" We do not consider a thin layer of tarmac laid directly onto the natural surface constitutes 'previous development'.

    Northumberland Local Plan Schedule of proposed Main Modifications to the Northumberland Local Plan June 2021 0 Northumberland Local Plan – Schedule of Proposed Main Modifications June 2021 Introduction Following the submission of the Northumberland Local Plan for Independent Examination to the Secretary of State in May 2019, the appointed Inspectors have considered all written representations received, and had regard to matters raised during a series of public hearings held during 2019 and 2020. The Inspectors have concluded that Main Modifications are required to make the plan sound. The Inspectors have requested that the Council consults on a schedule of proposed Main Modifications which they consider are necessary to ensure the soundness of the plan. The proposed Main Modifications are put forward without prejudice to the Inspectors’ final conclusions regarding the soundness of the Plan. The Inspectors will take account of the responses to the consultation before reaching final conclusions on the Main Modifications that are required to the Plan. This document sets out the proposed Main Modifications for the Northumberland Local Plan. These modifications have been subject to sustainability appraisal and habitats regulations assessment. Representations are only invited in relation to the proposed Main Modifications set out in this document, the schedule of proposed modifications to the Local Plan Policies Map, the Sustainability Appraisal of the Main Modifications and Policies Map changes and the Habitats Regulations Assessment of the Main Modifications and Policies Map changes. Representations relating to other aspects of the Plan or “omission sites” will not be considered by the Inspector. The Council may make Additional Changes to the plan which do not relate to soundness issues, but they are not a matter for this consultation.

  • Neimme-Jba-10
    NEIMME-JBA-10 NEIMME-JBA-10-1 26th July 1902 Two letters- The first from J.B. Atkinson to J. Smith, Secretary, Allendale Coal company, Workington, confirming that he has received notice of the company having cut the coal at the new faking (?) adjacent to Baggross (?) station. The second from J.B. Atkinson to J.S. Bradbury, Royal Commission on Coal Supplies, St. Stephens House, Westminster, returning a letter which he had sent claiming for travelling expenses to the Home Office, explaining that he could not return to Edinburgh on the evening of the 9th July(?) as there were no available trains travelling there until 7 a.m. the next morning. He argues that he had not heard of any regulation stipulating that an inspector needed to travel all night to get home after being engaged on public duty all day and that his claim had been charged in the way he had always charged before when visiting the Home Office with no previous objection. NEIMME-JBA-10-2 26th July 1902 Letter from J.B. Atkinson to the Under Secretary of State, Home Office, London, arguing that the objections of the Secretary of State to spend more than £45 on the removal of his furniture from Edinburgh to Newcastle excluding the £8 and 10 shillings specified in Mr. Taylors' supplementary estimate is unreasonable, since he argues the extra money would not have been needed had he stayed in Edinburgh and has no connection with the special grant. He counters that he would have preferred to accept the estimate of £50,17 shillings and 7 pence made by Patterson and company for the same job that he previously submitted, since the company had been recommended to him as being careful and efficient as removal contractors and that he had managed to reduce their initial estimate by £5 through negotiation.
