Notices in the local press announced the start of the review and invited comments from members of the public and from interested bodies. 3» On 1 August 1979 the County Council submitted to us a draft scheme in which they suggested 71 electoral divisions for the County, each returning one member in accordance with Section 6(2)(a) of the Act.

  • Residents Ideas for Wildboarclough and Macclesfield Forest
    Residents Ideas for Wildboarclough and Macclesfield Forest Findings of the Residents’ Survey in January 2012 1 ‘People here are passionate about the countryside and their heritage. It binds people together. Each day, when I come home from work I look across the valley, and consider what a privilege it is to live in such a spectacularly beautiful area.’ 2 Acknowledgements Thanks go to Wincle School, Verena Breed , Maria Leitner and Liz Topalian for funding the printing of the survey forms and this report, Irene Belfield, Hilda Mitchell, and Erica Whitehead for their help and support, and Greg and Janet Robinson for printing notices when my machine wouldn’t! Special thanks go to our Postie Ray for his advice and support, without which this project could not have been achieved. I am grateful to all the residents who took the time to share their concerns and ideas by participating in the survey. Caroline Keightley January 2012 3 The findings of the Wildboarclough and Macclesfield Forest Residents Survey 2012 Introduction On 1 December the Parish Meeting agreed to a proposal to undertake a survey of all residents in order to find out people’s concerns, ideas, and priorities for action. The survey results can focus the discussion of future Parish Meetings. Why Have A Survey? The aim is to - Get the views of residents who cannot get to, or who don’t like attending the Parish meeting. It gives everybody a chance to air ideas for supporting and sustaining our village life. Make the Parish Meeting more responsive, effective, and think ahead- it allows us to ‘take stock’.

Contact Countryside Rangers Tel: 01625 504528 Route Details The first in a series of circular walks around Bollington (the Happy Valley) and Kerridge starting from the Rangers Office, Adlington Road. The routes vary in length highlighting points of interest and provide pleasant views of the countryside. This walk is brief but pretty and is ideal at any time of the year. An early feature of the walk is Bollington Aqueduct. Local man Charles Nicol, constructed the 60ft (18m) high embankment and the stone aqueduct. To prevent potential slippage caused by the river below, he simply diverted the river. You will follow the Macclesfield Canal, which was opened in 1831. In its heyday the canal carried coals from Poynton by horse drawn barges; raw cotton to Bollington; silk from Macclesfield and gritstone from Kerridge. It also carried some unusual cargoes. In the 1850’s manure from Manchester Corporation stables and ‘night soil’ from cesspits was transported to be sold to farmers as fertilizer! Clarence Mill, which you will pass along the way, was built by local entrepreneurs, Joseph Brook and the Swindells, as a cotton mill between 1824 and 1845.

  • Wincle Circular Walk an Enjoyable 4 Mile Circular Walk from the Village of Wincle
    Wincle Circular Walk An enjoyable 4 mile circular walk from the village of Wincle. Grade Moderate Distance 6.5 kms / 4 miles Time Allow 3 hours Start Wincle village Grid Ref 964 653 Explorer Map Outdoor Leisure sheet 24 Field paths, tracks and stony paths. Muddy patches in Terrain winter. Some steep gradients. Barriers 12 stiles, slopes Toilets None Contact 01270 686029 Route Details This walk passes through beautiful countryside. The Shell Brook valley is particularly beautiful and very remote. Deer can be heard rutting in this valley in autumn when the trees turn magnificent shades of gold and rusty brown. In the depths of the valley the Shell Brook itself cuts deeply down into the Millstone grit. The Gritstone Trail crosses this valley but this walk joins the Gritstone Trail well above the little brook and away from the valley floor. The feeder canal once supplied water to Rudyard Lake but now appears very over grown and seems not to be used for this purpose any more. It now makes a great wildlife haven with attractive wildflowers along the embankments. The River Dane (image above) originates high on the moors near Axe Edge and flows through Wincle and Danebridge, and down onto the Cheshire Plain below the prominent hill called Bosley Cloud. Once used by industry for powering mills in Congleton and nearby Gradbach, today it provides water for the Wincle Trout fisheries. Directions 1. Park considerately and safely in Wincle village. Walk uphill away from the river, passing the Ship Inn on the right of the road. Shortly after the pub take the footpath on the left across the field.

  • Riding the Ridges a Ride Around Pott Shrigley and Rainow
    Riding the Ridges A ride around Pott Shrigley and Rainow. Grade Mountain bike Distance 28 km/17 mile Time 4 - 5 hours Start Tegg’s Nose Country Park Map OS Explorer Map 268 Quiet country lanes with optional off road sections and Terrain some steep climbs. Barriers N/A Toilets Tegg’s Nose Country Park Contact Tel: 01625 614279 Route Details Explore forgotten tracks in the hills above Macclesfield on this strenuous but rewarding 28km bike ride from Tegg's Nose Country Park, with optional off-road sections. Quiet lanes lead you along the side of Kerridge Hill, passing many gritstone quarries. Soon you reach Bollington, snug in the valley below White Nancy. A steep climb out of town is rewarded with a level ride and pleasant views towards Alderley Edge. The off-road section across the rough and bouldery moor is challenging. Follow ancient tracks though upland pastures. Here, stone dominates the landscape. Old quarries and beautiful stone barns capture the imagination. Stop and admire expansive moorland views from the top of Pike Low. The road nestles between stone walls, offering shelter from the harsh weather often experienced on the windswept moors. The next off road stretch, called the Corkscrew, is the most technically challenging of the whole route. A steep zig-zag track leads down to Todd Brook. After a hard climb to Jenkin Chapel the route heads south to Lamaload Reservoir. Relax and enjoy the view before one last climb up to Buxton New Road and back to Tegg's Nose Country Park. Directions 1. Turn right out of the car park and first left down a track.
