Lancashire CC Independent Group Independent Group Lancashire County Council By email Group leader Local Government Boundary Commission for England 14th Floor, Millbank Tower, Millbank London SW1P 4QP Dear Sirs Lancashire County Council is today submitting its response to the boundary commission review. As the Independent Group we wish to make the following submission with regard to the Lancaster district division boundaries . We agree with the submission and the recommendations made by the County Council except for those affecting Lancaster Central and Lancaster South East divisions Our submission is reflected on the attached map and proforma. Rationale Lancaster Central ( currently too large). Overall this proposed arrangement makes for a sense of community in different parts of the division with Marsh and parts of Castle wards and Scotforth West E being suitably aligned towards the north of the division. This proposal also keeps the integrity of Scotforth West ward on the west side of the A6 in one division. There is a natural community in the Greaves area of Lancaster made up of polling districts of Scotforth West A, B and further south of Scotforth West D. The communities living in SCWA and SCWB are in the Greaves area of Lancaster and focussed around St Paul's primary school on the west side of the A6, the scout group in Greaves and Greaves Park. There is a strong identity of living in 'Greaves' among its residents. Scotforth West 1 , ie SCWB polling district is at the heart. To shift Scotforth West B out of this division would means creating a 'hole' in the community . Lancaster South East (currently too small). Scotforth West No2 ie SCWC is on the east side of the A6 and has a more natural sense of community with the area known as Bowerham, and these residents already focus activities around Bowerham primary school and the small retail community on Bowerham Road. Therefore we suggest that Scotfroth West C is included with Lancaster South East division and joins neighbouring John O Gaunt ward polling districts. The other polling divisions have a natural sense of community. Similarly Ellel ward polling districts EllA and EllG ie the villages of Thurnham and Cockerham have to a large extent their own identities and sense of communities and are not naturally linked with any other specific parts of Lancaster communities: ( In fact many people in Cockerham identify more naturally with Wyre Borough Council – but that is not for discussion here!). Residents are therefore as well positioned in terms of identity with Lancaster South East division as with any other as there is a geographical flow to the neighbouring polling district Uni E (Burrow Heights) . Yours faithfully Gina Dowding On behalf of Lancashire County Council Independent Group Summary of difference between Lancashire County and Independent group submission Lancaster Central is currently too large.. It should retain all its current polling districts except for ELLG, ELLA and SCWC. Lancaster South East currently too small and therefore these should be removed to Lancaster South East. In summary therefore our submission is identical to the County Council submission except a swap of polling districts between these two divisions: 1. Take out of Lancaster Central and INTO Lancaster South East ELLG and ELLA I i.e. Cockerham and Thurnham – total of 1105 electors 2.

  • MORECAMBE & HEYSHAM There Are 16 Primary and 2 Secondary
    Lancashire County Council Children & Young People’s Public Health Commissioning—Child Health Profiles 2017 Public Health, assisted by Business Intelligence within Lancashire County Council have created 34 middle level (MSOA* cluster) Child Health Profiles (CHPs). This is because the CHPs on the Public Health England website are only at upper tier level. This does not show the outcome data at sub-district level but just an overview of children and young people’s health across the whole of County. These lower level profiles highlight where children’s health needs are the greatest and opportunities to reduce inequalities are greatest. MORECAMBE & HEYSHAM There are 16 primary and 2 secondary schools with 6th forms in Morecambe & Heysham. There are 2 special schools, 2 independent schools and 1 further education col- lege. There are 6 GP practices. Child health outcomes are quite poor in Morecambe and Heysham with 4 indicators ranked 3rd highest of the 34 CHPs (where 34 = best) covering Lancashire. These are the % of young people not in education employment or train- ing, the % of maternities to mums aged <20 years, the num- ber of children aged 5-17 on a child protection plan and the number of looked after children aged 0-4. It also has the 4th highest number of looked after children aged 5-17. 22% of children here are living in poverty (10th). Educational attainment in quite low with 46% of 10/11 year olds passing key stage 2 education and 48% of 15/16 year olds passing key stage 4. 64% of 4/5 year olds achieve a good level of development at the end of reception (7th).

  • Newsletter April 09.Pub
    Spring 2009 At the end of March Wayne Marland retired, and although we all wish him well, it was an event which was greeted with much sadness by everyone who worked with him. Wayne has worked for Lancashire for 23 years, coming to the advisory service from Edge Hill, where he lectured in Education for 8 years, after working as a teacher in Manchester. He has always been a staunch advocate for race equality, bringing to the debate a profound knowledge and understanding of the issues that made him the Race Equality touchstone for teachers, advisers and partners alike, and the lynchpin for policy and practice in Lancashire. Always suspicious of fashions and trends in education, Wayne's grasp of the historical, social, psychological and educational contexts for racism and inequality has allowed him to develop and support strategies and initiatives that affect real change, often ahead of national policy. Anyone who has been lucky enough to hear him speak at conferences and courses will know that he can be inspirational, challenging assumptions and attitudes and cutting through to the core purpose of education for a just society. His knowledge, commitment, passion and integrity will be greatly missed as will his sense of humour and his mischievous tendency to subversion. It has been a pleasure and a privilege to work with him and we wish him a long and happy retirement. Guided Talk what is it and why should we do it? Children learning English as an additional language need opportunities to hear language modelled and to have opportunities to rehearse language across the different curriculum areas before they are asked to write.

  • The Early History of Man's Activities in the Quernmore Area
    I Contrebis 2000 The Early History of Man's Activities in the Quernmore Area. Phil Hudson Introduction This paper hopes to provide a chronological outline of the events which were important in creating the landscape changes in the Quernmore forest area. There was movement into the area by prehistoric man and some further incursions in the Anglo- Saxon and the Norse periods leading to Saxon estates and settled agricultural villages by the time of the Norman Conquest. These villages and estates were taken over by the Normans, and were held of the King, as recorded in Domesday. The Post-Nonnan conquest new lessees made some dramatic changes and later emparked, assarted and enclosed several areas of the forest. This resulted in small estates, farms and vaccaries being founded over the next four hundred years until these enclosed areas were sold off by the Crown putting them into private hands. Finally there was total enclosure of the remaining commons by the 1817 Award. The area around Lancaster and Quernmore appears to have been occupied by man for several thousand years, and there is evidence in the forest landscape of prehistoric and Romano-British occupation sites. These can be seen as relict features and have been mapped as part of my on-going study of the area. (see Maps 1 & 2). Some of this field evidence can be supported by archaeological excavation work, recorded sites and artif.act finds. For prehistoric occupation in the district random finds include: mesolithic flints,l polished stone itxe heads at Heysham;'worked flints at Galgate (SD 4827 5526), Catshaw and Haythomthwaite; stone axe and hammer heads found in Quernmore during the construction of the Thirlmere pipeline c1890;3 a Neolithic bowl, Mortlake type, found in Lancaster,o a Bronze Age boat burial,s at SD 5423 5735: similar date fragments of cinerary urn on Lancaster Moor,6 and several others discovered in Lancaster during building works c1840-1900.7 Several Romano-British sites have been mapped along with finds of rotary quems from the same period and associated artifacts.
