Working on behalf of A45 Chowns Mill Roundabout Improvement Scheme Progress report - October 2020 During October, we continued our work around the junction and have made good progress with the drainage and road layout work along the A45 westbound. You will also notice the new signs and lighting infrastructure in place around the junction. New signs in place and new pedestrian crossing island on Station Road (A5028) Higham Ferrers Chowns Mill Team help during National Customer Service week: National Customer Service Week 2020 took place from 5 to 9 October. We're keen to give something back to the local communities that surround our network, particularly those affected by major improvement schemes. Stanwick Lakes reported problems with dangerous and unauthorised parking at peak times, where cars are often parked by visitors along the driveway and around the entrance to Stanwick Lakes in Northamptonshire, backing up on to the busy A45 creating a safety hazard. During National Customer Service Week, we installed double yellow lines along the length of the road and at the entrance. Whilst the look and feel of our network has changed over the decades, the thing that remains the same is providing a service to you. Highways England Customer Contact Centre 0300 123 5000 www.highwaysengland.co.uk Working on behalf of The long driveway to the lakes which could be clogged up by parked vehicles before the lines were repainted. Highways England Customer Contact Centre 0300 123 5000 www.highwaysengland.co.uk Working on behalf of Highways England Project Manager, Dean Holloway, said: “Safety is always our number one priority, so we were happy to be able to help tackle the parking issues which have been causing problems for Stanwick Lakes and posed a potential hazard on our road network. These double yellow lines will send a very clear message to drivers that it is simply not safe to park on the driveway and entrance. Now all visitors can safely enjoy their trip to this beautiful park” What’s next? During November (weather and statutory works permitting) you will see a further visible difference to Station Road (A5028) Higham Ferrers. We will start to lay the first (base) layers of Tarmac in preparation for the reopening of the A5028. The main surfacing work will take place in February 2021.

  • Electoral Review of Salford City Council

    Electoral Review of Salford City Council

    Electoral review of Salford City Council Response to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England’s consultation on Warding Patterns August 2018 1 1 Executive Summary 1.1 Salford in 2018 has changed dramatically since the city’s previous electoral review of 2002. Salford has seen a turnaround in its fortunes over recent years, reversing decades of population decline and securing high levels of investment. The city is now delivering high levels of growth, in both new housing and new jobs, and is helping to drive forward both Salford’s and the Greater Manchester economies. 1.2 The election of the Greater Manchester Mayor and increased devolution of responsibilities to Greater Manchester, and the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, is fundamentally changing the way Salford City Council works in areas of economic development, transport, work and skills, planning, policing and more recently health and social care. 1.3 Salford’s directly elected City Mayor has galvanised the city around eight core priorities – the Great Eight. Delivering against these core priorities will require the sustained commitment and partnership between councillors, partners in the private, public, community and voluntary and social enterprise sectors, and the city’s residents. This is even more the case in the light of ongoing national policy changes, the impending departure of the UK from the EU, and continued austerity in funding for vital local services. The city’s councillors will have an absolutely central role in delivering against these core priorities, working with all our partners and residents to harness the energies and talents of all of the city.

  • THE CHURCHES of LANCASTER -THEIR CONTRIBUTION to the LANDSCAPE by P

    THE CHURCHES of LANCASTER -THEIR CONTRIBUTION to the LANDSCAPE by P

    Contrebis 2000 THE CHURCHES OF LANCASTER -THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO THE LANDSCAPE by P. Gedge A dominant image of Lancaster is of the parish church standing on the hill overlooking the town, alongside the castle - symbolising that union of church and state which characterised medieval Christendom. The Romans seem to have been the first to grasp the strategic importance of this site and constructed a fort c.80 AD. A small town developed below and Church Street still marks the line of the road from the east gate. Some time after the Roman empire collapsed Christians began worshipping in the fort area, as happened elsewhere such as York. Exactly when the first Christian church was built on Castle Hill is not clear. Some claim c630. Fragments of Anglian crosses and remains of a pre-Nornan church survive with a simple Saxon doorway in the west end of the existing church. So a stone church has held this commanding position in Lancaster's townscape for over a thousand years. In 1094 this church was given by Roger of Poitou, to the Abbey of St Martin of Seez and Benedictine monks from there founded a Priory with residential buildings. In 1428 this was transferred to the Convent of Sion in Middlesex and the church became the Parish Church of one of those large parishes typical of Lancashire. The present building which so dominates the skyline, is principally a fifteenth century rebuilding with a high tower rebuilt in 'Gothick' style in 1754. Only two other medieval ecclesiastical buildings are recorded in Lancaster as the town remained small.
