  • Hartlepool Borough Council Church Street
    Economic Growth Advisors Programme Hartlepool Borough Council Church street - Creative industries cluster strategy I Key themes covered by the case study An economic growth strategy Summary Objectives The main objective of the Economic Growth Advisers project was to create a strategy for the development of a creative industries cluster of businesses within the Church Street area of Hartlepool based around the internationally renowned Cleveland College of Art and Design and Hartlepool Art Gallery in Hartlepool’s Innovation and Skills Quarter. The project is aimed at increasing the contribution of the creative sector as an economic driver for the regeneration of the area. Intended approach The intended approach was to test and develop the proposition that the economic prospects of Church Street can be enhanced through the creation of a cluster of businesses focussed around creative, digital and media industries, whilst offering graduates from Hartlepool College of Further Education and Cleveland College of Art and Design the opportunity to establish their own businesses. The approach was based on a review of best practice, an assessment of a series of projects that can contribute to the development of a sustainable creative industries quarter, the identification of potential delivery models and funding streams, and the production of an action plan for the implementation of the strategy. What were we looking to achieve Hartlepool Borough Council were looking to develop an economic growth strategy that would develop the creative industries cluster concept, explore the feasibility and delivery mechanisms of the proposals and examine best practice from other localities. The intention is that the strategy and action plan will also help to guide a Regeneration Master plan for the Hartlepool Waterfront and town centre, which aims to set out a site-specific vision for the delivery of a prosperous town centre and marina.

  • Teesside Countryside Directory for People with Disabilities
    Teesside Countryside Directory for People with Disabilities Second 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: Jeremy Garside, Chief Executive of Tees Valley Wildlife Trust This directory was designed for people with a disability, though the information included will be useful to everyone. Alongside its heavy industry Teesside has some fantastic countryside. There are numerous parks, green spaces and nature reserves which provide excellent opportunities for countryside activities, from walking to wildlife spotting. 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. This Second Edition published Spring 2019 Copyright © Open Country 2019 Foreword Getting into the countryside is such an important thing for all of us.

  • Suffrage and Suffragettes in the Hartlepools, 1869 to 1919
    Suffrage and Suffragettes in the Hartlepools, 1869 to 1919 The early years The organised fight for the right of women to vote in the United Kingdom goes back to the early years of the 19th Century, when popular movements began to directly criticise the traditional and often corrupt system of selecting the all male Members of Parliament. While partially successful through winning the 1832 Reform Act, which extended voting to 1 in 7 men based solely on their ownership of property, the same Act explicitly banned women from voting. There was slight progress in 1869 when the Municipal Reform Act doubled the number of eligible male voters in local elections, and allowed a very small proportion of richer women to vote as the head of their household. The Hartlepools had supported this act, submitting a local petition requesting suffrage on 14th July 1869, and directly benefitted through gaining the right to elect its own MP for the first time. In 1872 the fight for women's suffrage became a national movement with the formation of the National Society for Women's Suffrage (NSWS), and later, the more influential National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies (NUWSS). On the 12th March 1872 the corporation of West Hartlepool submitted a petition in support of a second attempt by Jacob Bright, the MP for Manchester, to get a Women’s Suffrage Bill adopted into law. His bill was supported locally at a meeting at the Temperance Hall on the 8th April where the leading campaigner Lydia Becker, the founder of the Women’s Suffrage Journal, Isabella Stewart and the Rev.
