Proposed Pattern of Wards for the Electoral Review of Rochdale Borough
Electoral Review of Rochdale__________________________________________________________ Proposed Pattern of Wards for the Electoral Review of Rochdale Borough Introduction 1. The Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) informed the Council, in early 2019, of its decision to carry out an Electoral Review of the Council size (number of elected Councillors) and the number of wards and ward boundaries for Rochdale Borough Council. 1.1 This report sets out the Council’s response to the invitation from the LGBCE to put forward its preferred future pattern of wards for Rochdale Borough. 1.2 All of the proposed warding patterns within this submission adhere to the statutory criteria governing electoral reviews set out by the LGBCE: The new pattern of wards should mean that each councillor represents roughly the same number of voters as elected members elsewhere in the authority to secure equality of representation. Ward patterns should, as far as possible, reflect community interests and identities and boundaries should be identifiable. The electoral arrangements should promote effective and convenient local government and reflect the electoral cycle of the council. 1.3 In developing the future pattern of wards, the Council has recognised the importance of electoral equality to a fair democratic process and has understood and considered that delivering Rochdale’s priorities relies on ward boundaries which reflect the communities they serve, bringing partners and communities with common interests and identities within clearly recognised geographical boundaries. 1.4 The proposed ward boundaries within this submission seek to capture the characteristics of Rochdale’s established and emerging communities whilst reflecting the important role these boundaries will play in supporting the delivery of public service from 2022 onwards. -
Environmental Baseline Report PDF 642 KB
July 2013 Local Flood Risk Management Strategy Strategic Environmental Assessment Scoping Report – Environmental Baseline Report 1 Local Flood Risk Management Strategy SEA Environmental Baseline The collection and review of baseline information is a crucial part of the SEA process. It is essential to gather sufficient baseline information on the current and likely future state of the environment in order to be able to adequately predict and assess the significant effects of a plan. The data collected to characterise the evidence base for the SEA of the strategy has been derived from numerous secondary sources and no new investigations or surveys have been undertaken as part of the scoping process. The information presented in this Scoping Report represents an outline of the evidence base by environmental topics. It may be necessary to collect further data against which to assess the potential environmental effects of the LFRMS with regard to monitoring requirements. 2 1 Introduction 1.1 The Borough of Bury is located in the North West of England, situated within the Greater Manchester metropolitan area. As an integral part of Greater Manchester, Bury has an important role to play in accommodating the spatial priorities for the North West region. Bury also has strong links with parts of Lancashire located, towards the north, via the M66 corridor and Irwell Valley. Bury is bounded to the south by the authorities of Manchester and Salford, to the east by Rochdale, to the west by Bolton and to the north by Rossendale and Blackburn and Darwen. 1.2 Bury benefits from good transport links with the rest of Greater Manchester and beyond, which has led to the Borough’s attractiveness as a commuter area. -

Natural Flood Management Proposals Crompton Moor, Oldham
Natural Flood Management Proposals Crompton Moor, Oldham Background A survey has been undertaken by the Natural Flood Management Advisor at the Mersey Forest who was able to identify a series of potential Natural Flood Management measures on the moor, see location plan below. The site assessment was also attended by City of Trees and members of the Friends of Crompton Moor. NFM measures are being considered to help slow down and reduce the amount of rainwater entering the Old Brook which flows into the River Beal, that latter being identified by the Environment Agency as source of flood risk to communities in Crompton and Shaw. The survey found 4 potential options for delivering NFM, see context map below. Option Context Map Option 2 Option 3 Option 4 44 Option 1 Option 1 – Plantation Woodland & Adjacent field boundary Drainage Ditch Water drains into the woodland from an external adjacent drainage ditch at the bottom of the moor. After rainfall this forms a shallow stream that runs through the woodland and it drains into the Old Brook via a culvert. It is proposed that a log jam is constructed across the course of this stream to allow water to back up into a depression to create an area of ‘wet woodland’ following rainfall events. The log jam would be constructed using felled timber from the immediate vicinity. This will also allow more light into the woodland and help to facilitate colonisation by wet loving understorey species. Drainage ditch containing pipe Culvert daylighted here Log Jam Example of log jam installed in a woodland Culvert Discharging into the Plantation Water Flowing Through the Plantation from the Culvert Option 2 – Dam Old Brook to utilise storage space of abandoned reservoir Inspection of the upper course of the Old Brook revealed a large adjacent depression which appeared to be the location of an abandoned reservoir, probably associated with historical mining activity. -
Using the Upm Methodology
USING THE UPM METHODOLOGY Graham Squibbs - North West Water Mark Bottomley and Richard Norreys - Montgomery Watson Introduction The Urban Pollution Management (UPM) studies undertaken by Montgomery Watson with North West Water (NWW)' formed the part of .North West Water's UPM programme within the Mersey Basin. These considered the impact of wastewater treatment work and CSO discharges from the sewer network on the receiving watercourses. These studies covered four areas surrounding and including parts of the City of Manchester being Oldham, to the north east of Manchester, part of Bolton to the north west, Salford to the west and the River Medlock catchment including part of Manchester, Droylesden and Failsworth . The catchments have a population in excess of 600 000 people and contain over 76 UCSOs, four wastewater treatment works requiring upgrading works as part of the National Environmental Programme and in excess of 20 different water courses. Tables 1 to 4 detail the studies. The studies were carried out by Montgomery Watson in conjunction with NWW input to a combined team. The UPM data collection programme covering flow and quality surveys was maintained as a single programme under NWW control. The project involved considerable modelling work. In the course of the studies : 14 HYDROWORKS sewer network quality models were built along with two Mike 11 river impact models and three STOAT wastewater treatment work models. In addition existing drainage area study network hydraulic models were upgraded to HYDROWORKS and reverified. UPM Methodology Urban Pollution Management' (UPM) concerns the management of wastewater discharges from urban sewerage and sewage treatment facilities under wet weather conditions . -
