Birtle (NNU) EDITORIAL It is perhaps fitting that, as the Cleveland Naturalist's Field Club enters its 111th year in 1991, we should be celebrating its long history of natural history recording through the re-establishment of the "Proceedings". In the early days of the club this publication formed the focus of information desemmination and was published continuously from 1881 until 1932. Despite the enormous changes in land use which have occurred in the last 60 years, and indeed the change in geographical area brought about by the fairly recent formation of Cleveland County, many of the old records published in the Proceedings still hold true and even those species which have disappeared or contracted in range are of value in providing useful base line data for modern day surveys. -
Minerals and Waste Core Strategy
Tees Valley Joint Minerals and Waste Development Plan Documents In association with Core Strategy DPD Adopted September 2011 27333-r22.indd 1 08/11/2010 14:55:36 i ii Foreword The Tees Valley Minerals and Waste Development Plan Documents (DPDs) - prepared jointly by the boroughs of Darlington, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Redcar and Cleveland and Stockton-on-Tees - bring together the planning issues which arise from these two subjects within the sub-region. Two DPDs have been prepared. This Minerals and Waste Core Strategy contains the long-term spatial vision and the strategic policies needed to achieve the key objectives for minerals and waste developments in the Tees Valley. The separate Policies and Sites DPD, which conforms with it, identifies specific sites for minerals and waste development and sets out policies which will be used to assess minerals and waste planning applications. The DPDs form part of the local development framework and development plan for each Borough. They cover all of the five Boroughs except for the part within Redcar and Cleveland that lies within the North York Moors National Park. (Minerals and waste policies for that area are included in the national park’s own local development framework.) The DPDs were prepared during a lengthy process of consultation. This allowed anyone with an interest in minerals and waste in the Tees Valley the opportunity to be involved. An Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State carried out an Examination into the DPDs in early 2011. He concluded that they had been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 and were sound. -

Local Wildlife and Geological Sites January 2017
Redcar & Cleveland Local Wildlife and Geological Sites January 2017 this is Redcar & Cleveland 1 BACKGROUND 3 2 SCHEDULE OF LOCAL WILDLIFE SITES 5 3 SCHEDULE OF LOCAL GEOLOGICAL SITES 11 APPENDIX 1: Location Maps 15 2017 y anuar J te Upda Sites Geological and e ildlif W Local Redcar & Cleveland Local Plan 1 2 Local Wildlife and Geological Sites Update January 2017 R edcar & Cle v eland Local Plan 1. BACKGROUND What are Local Sites and why do we need them? 1.1 Local Sites can be Local Wildlife Sites (LWS) or Local Geological Sites (LGS). Local Wildlife Sites are areas of land which meet specific, objective criteria for nature conservation value. These criteria, which are based on the Defra guidance(1), have been decided locally by the Tees Valley Local Sites Partnership. The sites represent a range of important habitat types and variety of species that are of conservation concern. The Tees Valley RIGS (Regionally Important Geological Sites) group advises the Local Sites Partnership on the selection and management of Local Geological Sites, areas which they have identified as being of geological importance. 1.2 Local Sites can provide local contact with nature and opportunities for education, however designation as a Local Site does not confer any right of access. 1.3 Formerly known as Sites of Nature Conservation Interest (SNCIs) and RIGS, Local Sites are non-statutory site designations that have a lower level of protection than statutory designations, such as Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs). Local Sites, excluding those within the North York Moors National Park, currently receive protection from certain types of inappropriate development through our Local Development Framework. -
Introduction to National Trails Part 1: Their Origins in the UK
Extract from lecture: Introduction to National Trails Part 1: their origins in the UK Dave McGlade Hadrian’s Wall Path National Trail Officer 6th September 2015 Origins in UK: Report of National Parks Committee 1931 (Addison report) In discussing the South Downs: “There would be provided a 70 mile walk along a green ridgeway, through typical English country, with convenient halts and camping sites at regular intervals” (Is this the first documented proposal for a long-distance route in UK?) Source: Daily Telegraph 23rd April 2005 Origins in UK: Report of the Committee on Land Utilisation in Rural Areas 1942 (Scott report) “The principle that the countryside is the heritage of all involves the corollary that there must be facility of access for all” “The recognition of such schemes for main hikers’ highways as the proposed Pennine Way” “The re-opening of the old coastguard path as a right of way for walkers round the whole coastline of England and Wales” Origins in UK: National Parks in England and Wales (Dower report, 1945) “A first main installment of decisions (which should include schemes for the Pennine Way and other long- distance walking routes referred to in the Scott report) should be reached and put into execution as soon as possible”. (p38) Origins in UK: Report of the National Parks Committee 1947 (Hobhouse) “We also attach importance to the provision of long distance paths and bridleways in and between National Parks and Conservation Areas. There should be continuous routes which will enable walkers and riders to travel the length and breadth of the Parks, moving as little as possible on the motor roads. -

Review of Polling Districts and Polling Places 2018 Consultation Report
Review of Polling Districts And Polling Places 2018 Consultation Report NOTICE OF POLLING DISTRICTS & POLLING STATION REVIEW Review of Polling Districts and Polling Places in accordance with the requirements of Section 18C(1) of the Representation of the People Act 1983 and Electoral Registration and Administration Act 2013. The Local Government Boundary Commission for England has now published its final recommendations for new electoral arrangements for Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council. The recommendations must now be approved by Parliament and a draft order, to bring in to force their recommendations, has been laid in Parliament. Subject to Parliamentary Scrutiny, the new electoral arrangements will come into force at the Local Elections in 2019. The Local Government Boundary Commission for England has recommended an increase in the number of wards within the Borough from 22 to 24. Each Ward is required to be sub-divided into polling districts; the number of polling districts will however decrease from 101 to 86. All polling districts have been re-categorised using with new reference letters which are more meaningful to the Ward and Parliamentary Constituency, for example BMTAM, where BMT reflects the ward (Belmont), A defines the sub district and M is the constituency the ward belongs to (Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland). A polling place is provided for electors living within each polling district. The changes to Wards mean that the Council was required to carry out a review of polling districts and polling places within the Borough, pursuant to Section 18C of the Representation of the People Act 1983. Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council is therefore conducting a review of the polling districts and polling places. -

One story about Skinningrove’s past that is still See their websites for information about this recounted is that of the “sea-man” or merman who ambitious project to build a working scale model of allegedly visited in about 1530. Writing in the early Loftus mine, the internal railway system and part of 17th century, William Camden states “Upon the shore, the zig zag connection to the main line. Skengrave, a small village, thrives by the great variety of fish which it takes; where it is reported that, seventy years ago, they caught a sea-man, who lived upon raw fish for some days, but at last, taking his opportunity, he made his escape into his own element. When the winds are laid and the sea is calm… a hideous groaning is oftentimes heard in these parts on a sudden, and then the fishermen are afraid to go to sea.” Another account claims that during his stay “fayre maidens were welcomest guests to his harbour, whome he woulde beholde with a very earnest countenaynce, as if his phlegmatic breast had been touched with the sparke of love.” (J.W. Ord 1846) Skinningrove Station above the village on the Loftus to Middlesbrough line. It opened in 1875 and closed in 1958. Skinningrove in 1846 The following description is taken from “The History and Antiquities of Cleveland” by John Walker Ord, published in 1846. Skinningrave, a small village lying in a low deep creek of the sea, presents many charms to the admirer of the romantic and picturesque. -
