Background A Local Climate Impacts Profile (LCLIP) is a report on the vulnerability of Cheshire East Council, assessing the impacts of severe weather events on council services, to make sure that the council is prepared for any such future events. Identified costs Financial information has been gathered and analysed for a five year period (2005- 2010) across Highways winter maintenance, Highways drainage, building damage and land drainage for Building Control, and a total five year cost for these services alone is £8, 690, 778. Some of these costs are likely to be greatly underestimated, and so the actual costs of severe weather events could in fact be far greater. Moving towards adaptation The Climate Change Adaptation Strategy is an essential part of NI188, and will enable adaptation to be integrated into all future projects for the council. • Adapting now could help avoid unnecessary costs and damages in the future. Adapting can help to assess the risks to the council from severe weather events, and any Business Continuity Plans can be based on any findings from a risk assessment. Cheshire East Council 1 Local Climate Impacts Profile NI188 NI188 is divided into five different levels, which are: Level 0 – Baseline. - The Authority has started the process of assessing the potential threats and opportunities across its services, and agreed the next steps. Level 1 – Public commitment and impacts assessment. - The Authority has made a public commitment to identify and manage climate related risk, and has carried out a local risk based assessment of vulnerabilities and opportunities to current and future weather and climate. It has also communicated these potential vulnerabilities to service heads and local partners, and set out the next steps. Level 2 – Comprehensive risk assessment. - The Authority has undertaken a comprehensive risk based assessment of current and future vulnerabilities to weather and climate, and has identified priority risks for its services. Level 3 – Comprehensive action plan. Level 4 – Implementation, monitoring and continuous review. The North West Climate Change Action Plan requires that the councils in the region reach Level 2 of NI188 by 2012. Level 2 also requires that they have started incorporating the best adaptive responses into council strategies, plans, partnerships and operations. Appropriate adaptive responses for the priority areas should have been put in place, and work should have started with the LSP to encourage identification of major weather and climate vulnerabilities and opportunities affecting the delivery of the LSP’s objectives. This LCLIP is the first step in this process. Recommendations Those recommendations from the LCLIP that are agreed with service heads will form the first part of Cheshire East Council’s Adaptation Strategy, and could include: Gather information on the drainage of the network, identifying the drainage asset could be put on a computer system for people to see. This could be useful to show areas of the network that particularly struggle with heavy rain, and would help to locate any weak areas in the system. High risk flood areas should be identified and mapped. If these hotspot areas are known about, the council can prepare for possible future flooding and be better prepared. Weather alerts should be sent to the public by a faster method, the system could be made more interactive. Cheshire East Council 2 Local Climate Impacts Profile Schools should be made aware of their responsibility to close, reinforcing the appropriate criterion, due to severe weather, which could help to prevent confusion. Relevant staff need to be engaged in the idea of risk assessment and Business Continuity Planning. The introduction of more laptops and other aids to mobile working should be encouraged to reduce the affect on services of severe weather events, wherever it is practical and relevant to the work. Trees should be checked in car parks and schools, to reduce the risk of them falling over in severe weather and causing damage or injury. The Corporate Risk Register should have a section detailing severe weather events. This would help to raise the profile of severe weather events and climate change within the council, and would also help the council to become more prepared. The process of undertaking this LCLIP study has identified several key areas in which the council could improve its services during periods of extreme weather. Business Continuity Plans It is essential that services have Business Continuity Plans relevant to events of severe weather. This should enable staff to work – either from their usual location or from home, and also services such as leisure centres and libraries can remain open to the public. Schools Communication needs to be improved along with an understanding of how schools can be affected by severe weather; schools need to know that it is their responsibility to close a school for a day, and not the responsibility of the council. Cheshire East Council 3 Local Climate Impacts Profile Emergencies Wind has been identified as the most likely severe weather event to occur in the future, and also the one which could cause the most damage, causing the most disruption to council services. The Civil Protection team need to prepare for a potential increase in the destruction of buildings and associated emergency measures aimed at protecting the people of Cheshire East. Communication Communication could also be improved; confusion in times of emergency could prove costly or fatal in some circumstances. All of this information can then be gathered and written into a Climate Change Adaptation Strategy for the council. Methodology The study has been carried out in 4 phases as follows: 1. Media search – News reports (January 1998-February 2010) indicating that a severe weather event has affected human lives (included in a database)

  • Advisory Visit River Bollin, Styal Country Park, Cheshire February
    Advisory Visit River Bollin, Styal Country Park, Cheshire February 2010 1.0 Introduction This report is the output of a site visit undertaken by Tim Jacklin of the Wild Trout Trust to the River Bollin, Cheshire on 19th February 2010. Comments in this report are based on observations on the day of the site visit and discussions with Kevin Nash (Fisheries Technical Specialist) and Andy Eaves (Fisheries Technical Officer) of the Environment Agency (EA), North West Region (South Area). Normal convention is applied throughout the report with respect to bank identification, i.e. the banks are designated left hand bank (LHB) or right hand bank (RHB) whilst looking downstream. 2.0 Catchment / Fishery Overview The River Bollin is 49 km long and rises in the edge of Macclesfield Forest, flowing west to join the River Mersey (Manchester Ship Canal) near Lymm. The River Dean is the major tributary of the Bollin, and the catchment area totals 273 km2. The section of river visited flows through Styal Country Park, downstream of Quarry Bank Mill, and is owned by the National Trust. A previous Wild Trout Trust visit was carried out further downstream at the National Trust property at Dunham Massey. The Bollin falls within the remit of the Mersey Life Project which aims to carry out a phased programme of river restoration, initially focussing on the non-tidal section of the River Mersey, the River Bollin and River Goyt (http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/homeandleisure/wildlife/102362.aspx). The construction of fish passes on Heatley and Bollington Mill weirs in the lower Bollin catchment means it is now possible for migratory species (e.g.

  • Cheshire East Local Plan Strategy: Examination (Resumed Hearings)
    Cheshire East Local Plan Strategy: Examination (Resumed Hearings) Supplementary Statement submitted on behalf of BDW Trading Limited (Representor Number: 750734) in relation to Matter 5: Urban Potential and Site- Selection Methodology St James Park, Wilmslow (formerly known as Land at Little Stanneylands) September 2015 Does the assessment of Urban Potential and Site Selection Methodology fully consider the potential for development within and around the existing towns and settlements in Cheshire East, including development of smaller sites within the built-up area or on the fringes of settlements in the north of the area and the balance between brownfield and greenfield sites, and provide an appropriate, consistent, objective, justified and effective approach to the selection of sites, in line with national guidance and fully addressing the Inspector’s concerns in his Interim Views, particularly in terms of: a) Urban Potential Study 1. BDW Trading Limited (BDW) would raise the following general points in relation to the robustness of the Urban Potential Study: • The study has applied a density of 30dph across all sites, ‘unless [there is] a clear reason to deviate from this’. It is not clear whether this is a gross or net density. It would appear somewhat overly simplistic to apply a 30dph density across all sites without considering the gross to net ratio, even on a standardised basis. • This study is entirely separate from the SHLAA and does not follow accepted SHLAA methodology. Crucially it does not include any specific consideration of deliverability, and particularly viability. 2. BDW would note that even with these concerns, the potential for new housing sites within the built-up area of Wilmslow is very low.

  • Using Behavioural Measures to Evaluate Route Safety Schemes
    Using behavioural measures to evaluate route safety schemes Guidance for practitioners By H A Ward, S Helman, N Christie, F P McKenna CPR102 9 1 1. Context: The need for evaluation Route safety schemes are complex interventions which may involve more than one agency. They use multiple methods to reduce the number of casualties along sections of road by changing driver behaviour through elements of engineering, education and enforcement. Evaluation is the mechanism by which the effectiveness of the intervention is assessed in achieving its objectives. Route safety schemes bring new challenges in the form of developing the best way to evaluate their effectiveness. 1 This note is a short guide for practitioners on using behavioural measures to evaluate route safety schemes. http://www.adeptnet.org.uk/assets/userfiles/documents/000282.pdf Above is a link to the location of the main report (which should be read in conjunction with this guide) to direct readers to a fuller description of: the top candidate behaviours which should be considered as relevant to route safety schemes; how to measure the impact of a scheme through changes in these behaviours; the key issues related to the design of interventions including how to define what „success‟ looks like, how to develop a cost effective monitoring programme and how to analyse and interpret data so that a robust conclusion can be drawn from the evaluation; and case studies of good practice from local authorities. 1 The first author drafted this guidance document based on the accompanying main report. The remaining authors are listed in the same order in which they appear on the main report.

  • 100817 the Winking
    HATTERS MIRROR CHECK Thursday 10th August 2017 The Winking Man An Evening Ride-out Thursday 10th July 2017 saw the fifth and final scheduled evening ride-out for 2017 set off from the Decathlon car park in Stockport heading for the Winking Man at Upper Hulme in Staffordshire. Twelve bikes showed up for this one along with 5 pillion riders so a very good turnout for an evening run. The group was led out by Head Road Captain Ross on a route which went via Bramhall and Hazel Grove where we joined the A6 towards Disley. Then it was onto the Buxton Old Road leading over the tops to Kettleshulme and climbing again before dropping down to Errwood Reservoir and following the River Goyt on a single track road to Derbyshire Bridge. The final climb up towards the Cat and Fiddle Pub was a bit tricky as the bright setting sun was shining straight into our eyes. But once we reached the top of the hill normal vision was resumed as we turned left onto the A537 heading towards Buxton. A right turn onto the A53 going in the direction of Leek eventually brought us to the Winking Man. Another member was waiting to meet us here bringing the total number of bikes up to thirteen. The Winking Man Free House is situated in the Peak District National Park on the edge of the Staffordshire / Derbyshire border between Buxton and Leek. The pub takes its name from a small outcrop of rocks called Ramshaw Rocks where a face shape in the rocks seems to wink at you when you drive up the hill towards the pub.

  • Woodford Habitat Survey
    Woodford Habitat Survey North West Woodford, Area 10 (surveyed September 2015 and spring 2016) Area 10 forms the south west of the Neighbourhood Area, lying between Blossoms Lane, Church Lane, Wilmslow Road and the River Dean, as shown in OS and satellite images below, bounded by the turquoise line. The western boundary follows a tiny stream which meanders downhill to the River Dean and marks the border with Cheshire East. The road to Kingstreet and two footpaths, 4HGB and 5HGB, cross the area. 1 Land use Area 10 is largely agricultural land belonging to local farms and landowners, including Dean Valley Farm, Dean Farm and Barr Green Farm. It is nearly all improved grassland, either used for grazing for horses, sheep or cattle and/or for hay, haylage or silage crops in the summer. There are a few small patches of unmown or infrequently mown grass. Map showing land use in Area 10 10F25 2 Small areas of mixed deciduous woodland are to be found adjacent to the River Dean, around the Deanwater Hotel, behind the houses along Wilmslow Road and along the banks of a small stream which runs down to the River Dean. Area 10 is characterised by large fields bounded by native hedgerows with mature trees, mostly oak with some ash and sycamore. Parts of Dean Valley Farm are used for horse grazing and have been subdivided into smaller fields with fences. Open views across fields and to the Pennines can be enjoyed from footpath 4HGB.
