Lancashire Countryside Directory for People with Disabilities Lancashire Countryside Directory for People with Disabilities first edition Whatever your needs, access to and enjoyment of the countryside is rewarding, healthy and great fun. This directory can help you find out what opportunities are available to you in your area. Get yourself outdoors and enjoy all the benefits that come with it… Foreword written by: Bill Oddie OBE This directory was designed for people with a disability, though the information included will be useful to everyone. Lancashire’s countryside has much to offer; from the gritstone fells of the Forest of Bowland to the sand dunes of the Sefton Coast. There are some great opportunities to view wildlife too, including red squirrels and hen harriers. It is more than worth taking that first step and getting yourself involved in your local countryside, regardless of your abilities. For people interested in wildlife and conservation there is much that can be done from home or a local accessible area. Whatever your chosen form of countryside recreation, whether it’s joining a group, doing voluntary work, or getting yourself out into the countryside on your own, we hope you will get as much out of it as we do. There is still some way to go before we have a properly accessible countryside. By contacting Open Country or another of the organisations listed here, you can help us to encourage better access for all in the future. Published in Summer 2014 Using the Directory Throughout the Directory you will see some symbols. These are to help you see what kind of facilities or information is available. Please also contact individual places to ask what they can offer people with disabilities. Key: A wheelchair accessible toilet is available Accessible parking is available P A Braille guide is available Large print leaflets are available Scooters / wheelchairs are available for loan The Directory covers the county of Lancashire including the cities of Liverpool and Manchester and their surrounding areas, which are within the traditional county boundaries. LANCASHIRE MANCHESTER LIVERPOOL There are some things that some disabilities make “ more difficult. The countryside and wildlife should not be among them. What's more, whilst it is generally accepted that nature is an invaluable therapist for all of us, in my experience, the determination and patience needed to overcome a disability are exactly the qualities needed to help nature stay healthy itself. ” Bill Oddie OBE Contents 1.

It makes free-standing statutory proposals for this part of the stretch, and seeks approval for them by the Secretary of State in their own right under section 52 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949. 2.1.3 The report explains how we propose to implement the England Coast Path (“the trail”) on this part of the stretch, and details the likely consequences in terms of the wider ‘Coastal Margin’ that will be created if our proposals are approved by the Secretary of State. Our report also sets out: any proposals we think are necessary for restricting or excluding coastal access rights to address particular issues, in line with the powers in the legislation; and any proposed powers for the trail to be capable of being relocated on particular sections (“roll- back”), if this proves necessary in the future because of coastal change.

  • (Public Pack)Agenda Document for Chorley Liaison, 16/10/2019 18:30
    CHORLEY LIAISON WEDNESDAY, 16TH OCTOBER 2019, 6.30 PM COUNCIL CHAMBER, TOWN HALL, CHORLEY AGENDA APOLOGIES 1 MINUTES OF MEETING WEDNESDAY, 17 JULY 2019 OF CHORLEY (Pages 5 - 8) LIAISON 2 WELCOME BY THE CHAIR 3 ITEM REQUESTED AT THE LAST MEETING: PLANNING ISSUES Adele Hayes (Service Lead – Planning) will attend the meeting to give a short presentation on Planning issues and take any questions. 4 ITEM REQUESTED BY ANGLEZARKE 1. We appear to have an issue with Knotweed near to Anglezarke reservoir and car park. Is there anything we can do about this? Response from the Open Space Strategy Officer: The knotweed would be for the landowner to treat or the members of the parish council once they have the training with the permission of the landowner. Two people from Rivington PC are booked on the upcoming course. 2. Additionally, there is a big issue with anti-social behaviour, dangerous driving and apparent drink/drug taking at viewpoint. The residents living near to viewpoint have expressed particular concern over the speed of the drivers on the country road. Ideas suggested include: Could we put up CCTV & would this be sufficient evidence for prosecution? Could we request an occasional police presence to discourage them? Response from Public Protection: The Councils’ powers are not appropriate for dangerous driving and drug taking, these are direct offences which the Police powers are more appropriate. We do not have the power to identify offenders, we would reply on intel of partners such as the police or members of the public to identify in order for us to consider any appropriate action.
