But, Little Lever is also changing with the times and moving forward. Now home to some 14,000 residents, the village is attracting new investment, serving to improve facilities, boost the economy and enhance the housing market. Little Lever lies in close proximity to a wealth of leisure and entertainment facilities. The village itself boasts three large lakes and Moses Gate Country Park provides acres of tranquillity for walking, cycling or horse riding.

Newsletter 155 Colour for E-Neslwetter
QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER Newsletter No. 155 Autumn 2016 Chorley and District Natural History Society is a Registered Charity: Registration Number 513466 THE NOTIFICATION OF THE WEST PENNINE MOORS AS A SITE OF SPECIAL SCIENTIFIC INTEREST (SSSI) It has been a notable summer on the West Pennine Moors (WPM) with a host of locally scarce, or previously unrecorded upland specialities reported. Botanically, the consolidation or spread of existing restricted populations of Moonwort, Great Sundew, Royal Fern, Round-leaved Sundew and Bell Heather were noted whilst in many areas, vast carpets of Cranberry fruited in abundance. Highlights were the locating of new colonies of Marsh Andromeda, Cowberry and Labrador Tea, whilst pride of place went to the discovery of Many- stalked Spike-rush, a native perennial new to the WPM. Great Sundew, Belmont Moor 30 th August 1 Bilberry Bumblebee, Belmont 23 rd June Moving away from vascular plants, a population of the upland specialist Bilberry Bumblebee was confirmed at Belmont and whilst Adder numbers in the east of the WPM were down, a male seen in the west by a competent observer in August, confirmed the continuing presence of a relict population there. The WPM is well known for its important breeding bird populations, particularly of waders and gulls, and 2016 was no exception; with the highpoints probably being the ten species of breeding wader across the area and the fledging of at least 38 juvenile Mediterranean Gulls from within the UK’s largest Black-headed Gullery at Belmont. 2 However, eclipsing all of the above and further to the announcement in the CDNHS February Newsletter (no.

A Footbridge for Little Lever Background/Context the Artist's
A Footbridge for Little Lever Background/Context The Artist’s Brief A section 106 fund from a housing development at Cricketer‟s View in Little Lever has been allocated for the introduction of public art into the surrounding area for the benefit of residents of the property and the immediate area. In July 2010 artist Liam Curtin was appointed to develop a public art proposal for the area. (To refer to the full brief please see Appendix 1) People Artist: Liam Curtin Project Manager: Gaynor Cox The Steering Group Councillor Anthony Connell (Little Lever Ward Member) Councillor Maureen Connell (Little Lever Ward Member) Councillor Mary Woodward (Little Lever Ward Member) Paula Connor, Bolton Council Project Officer Gaynor Cox, Housing Arts Officer Consultation / Engagement activity The Consultation Forum There have been two meetings so far of this group which is made up of local residents and the Ward Councillors. The aim of the group is to be a sounding board for ideas and to guide the artist in local matters. Essentially it is the main context for the consultation process. In summary the first meeting on 22/11/2010 supported the idea of an artwork of some kind in the canal area but firmly discouraged the idea of any permanent floating structure. At the second meeting on 25/01/2011 there was 100 percent support for the artist‟s recent proposal of a footbridge over the canal which would connect Little Lever with Moses Gate Country Park. (For full reports on the Consultation Forum please see Appendix 2) Ship Shape One Saturday last October a group of local residents made a decorative floating sculpture by stitching thousands of CD‟s together.
