C. WRIGHT February, 1977 EDITORIAL Since the last appearance of this magazine in December 1975 the school has seen many changes. Some of these have come from within, others from without. For the first time the boys we welcome into the first-forms in September are without the benefits of the Direct Grant. The full effects of this situation have yet to make themselves felt, yet we are confident that the school can pass through this difficult period of transition not onfy with its stature undiminished but even with new achievements to its credit. We should regard it not as a time when the validity of our past accomplishments is to be put to the test, but as a time which offers a golden opportunity for the attainment of new ones. The staff has undergone many arrivals and departures. This is, in itself, a healthy sign and shows that the school is still very much an evolving and expanding institution. In the last edition of the Stopfordian we bade farewell to Mr. Johnston, Mr. Morris and Mr. Cassie. In the present edition it is to Mr. Avery, a master whose contribution to the school has been no less immense, that we must say goodbye. We wish Mr. Roberts well in his appointment as second master and extend a cordial welcome to all those members of staff who have come, for the first time, or returned, after long absence, to the school during the last twelve months. Finally, I would like to thank my colleagues on the magazine committee, which, this year, has consisted of Roger Hooley, Mark Knowles, Ian Radford, John Oldham and John Evans. Special thanks are due to Mr. Roberts who has given us invaluable advice and assistance. J.C.W. Page One DE OMNIBUS REBUS GOVERNORS We regret to announce the deaths of two Governors, Councillor W. C. Knight and Councillor L. Smith. Articles appear below. Canon R. Simpson, formerly Rector of St. Mary's Church, Stockport, and Rural Dean, has retired from the Board and we thank him for his service to the School. We have known him in many capacities, as a parent, as Rector of St. Mary's conducting the Founder's Day service, as staff representative on the Governing Body, and latterly as a co-opted member. We have shared in his joy over his son's work for the Church in Africa. (Robert, 1943/53, gave the Founder's Day address in 1968.) We wish Canon Simpson a continued happy retirement. We welcome to the Board Councillor J. Harvey Cooke, J.P., the Mayor of Stockport, and Councillor E. D. Foulkes, representing the Metropolitan Borough, and Councillor J. G. Lee, representing Cheshire County Council. We welcome back Mr. J. H. Avery, who has been appointed the staff representa- tive in place of Canon W. Garlick, who happily remains on the Board as a co-opted member. The staff are grateful to him for the time and service he has given to them. STAFF Last summer Mr. Avery retired. An article appears below. Four other masters left in July for other schools. Mr. J. W. Dickenson moved to Sale, Mr. J. Gowan to Ilkley, Mr. K. I. Mathieson to Diss and Mr. M. S. Whalley to Bredbury. At Christmas Mr. I. D. Johnson moved to Hazel Grove. We thank them all for their work at the School and offer them our best wishes for the future. We welcome seven new members of staff. Mr. R. L. Hand of Bristol and Sheffield Universities comes to us from Manchester Grammar School as Head of Physics; Mr. R. M. Taylor of Oxford University, an Old Stopfordian, comes from Leeds Grammar School as Head of English; Mr. J. J. Towers of Durham University, from Bishop Wordsworth's School, Salisbury, is Director of Music; Mrs. S. M. Mellor of Oxford and Liverpool Universities teaches Biology; Mr. R. J. Nash of Cambridge University teaches English; Mr. D. S. Martin of Oxford University comes from Long Eaton Grammar School to teach Geography; Miss S. M. J. Volk of Birmingham University teaches English and History. We also welcome back Mrs. J. Samuelson, who is teaching Geography two afternoons a week. We congratulate Mr. and Mrs. Shufflebottom oh their marriage in the Christmas holiday. We also congratulate Dr. Holmes on the award of the Ph.D. degree of Cambridge University and Mr. Dalton on that of B.A. Of the Open University. Our oldest retired member of staff, Mrs. C. A. Edge, died last May aged ninety-seven. She taught in the Junior Forms of the new School from 1917 to 1933 and saw her son, Leonard, (1915/23), achieve distinction in Mathematics as Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, and Professor at Edinburgh. We also regret to record the deaths of Mrs. Goddard in April and Mrs. Varley in October. Page Two COUNCILLOR WALTER C. KNIGHT J. H. AVERY T. K.Dunham BOYS Paul Gringras of 3A has been awarded a testimonial by the Royal Humane Society for bravery in rescuing his younger brother Clive from drowning in a deep pool in North Wales. Last winter Jackson again played for England at rugby; Holt and Mayall played against Baltimore at lacrosse and Goodson played for the North against the South. In the summer Pagan played for Cheshire at tennis; at cricket Cash played for England Schools, Taylor for the North of England, Torkington, Caro, Reeman and Beesley for various Cheshire teams. THE FUTURE The School has entered its first year of independence with every sign of strength and confidence. The daily life of the School does not appear to have changed. The Stopfordian Trust has been formed to gather and hold funds initially to finance bursaries, and generous gifts have already been received. Other gifts from industry, charitable trusts and individuals have been made for a variety of purposes. They include a generous grant from the Hallam Trust, which is being used for the purchase of teaching equipment. On July 2nd a Grand Reunion will be held to which we invite all Old Stopfordians. We hope to have the School filled with exhibitions, to produce a play for the occasion, and on the same day to enjoy the O.S.

  • Adult Social Care Portfolio
    Date 21 Sept 2020 Version 1.1 (Cabinet) Approved by DM ECONOMY AND REGENERATION PORTFOLIO HOLDER’S INTRODUCTION This agreement is one that is shaped by the ‘new normal’ we’re now in, with COVID impacting on Stockport residents’ daily lives. As we go through the period this agreement covers, it could be we have finally found a viable vaccine and we have control over this devastating virus. However, the impact of COVID is going to be with us for many years indeed. This agreement seeks to reflect the present situation we are in, while looking forward to the future and Building Back Better. I am still determined that we push on with major infrastructure. There is an increased thirst for walking and cycling and we will continue to press ahead on this. We already have a track record that, in my opinion, we should be very proud of: so far, as a council, we have gained funding that is nearly the equivalent of £100 per Stockport resident. Yet for ‘big ticket’ infrastructure projects, the Mayoral Development Corporation (MDC) will play a key role in helping deliver them. From improving Stockport railway station to progressing Metrolink, the MDC is central to delivering both. We are already seeing the strength of the MDC; Weir Mill will soon realise its potential and later this year, work on Stockport Interchange will get underway. The St Thomas’ Hospital site has created a real buzz, bringing together regeneration and the council’s wider priorities of more affordable housing and providing better social care. The success we have had with ‘shovel ready’ funding for Stok (flexible office space to be located within the old M&S building) and Stockport Exchange Phase 4 will ensure our town centre continues to move towards a more sustainable and relevant future.

  • Appendix.1 Developing Our One Stockport Plan: Engagement Overview
    APPENDIX.1 DEVELOPING OUR ONE STOCKPORT PLAN: ENGAGEMENT OVERVIEW 1. Introduction 1.1 This report sets out our approach to capturing the views of our residents, businesses, partners and workforce on their priorities for the future to build into our Borough Plan. It provides an overview of the engagement and analysis we have undertaken which has informed our shared priorities and vision. We will continue to work collectively to understand the lived experiences of our communities. We recognise that some the impacts of Covid-19 are not known at this point and will change over time. It will be important to embed intelligence, insight and co- design in all future planning. 1.2 We want to develop a shared vision for Stockport that outlines how we want to work together and our joint priorities. In developing our collective plan, it felt important to reflect the voices and priorities of local communities, alongside understanding and responding to insight gathered through impact studies, our Joint Strategic Needs Analysis (JSNA), and wider data analysis, to shape how we stay together as One Stockport to provide the conditions and opportunities for happy, healthy, thriving, connected communities. 2. What we have heard 2.1 In total, we spoke to over 3,800 people who either lived or worked in Stockport, this also included engaging with 1,000 children and young people, making sure their voices were heard. Some common themes emerged from these exercises and are outlined below. 2.2 Flourishing and connected communities came through as a key theme throughout our engagement; organisations from our Voluntary, Community, Faith and Social Enterprise (VCFSE) sector, businesses, young people and older people all mentioned the importance of this.

  • Agenda Item No
    Cabinet Committee Meeting: 19th December 2017 RESILIENT NETWORK REVIEW Report of the Corporate Director for Place Management & Regeneration 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. The Government’s response to the 2014 Transport Resilience Review identified a need for local authorities to develop and identify a resilient network for their highway network. This network is expected to be based on risk and need as well as the road classifications of the network. The action was included in the Department for Transport (DfT) incentive fund self-assessment as a requirement to access the funds. The designated resilient network provides a prioritisation for the overall highway network on where to direct resources to ensure the network remains open or is reopened first after an incident. 1.2. The resilient network was initially set up to ensure that during extreme weather conditions, access to key services and necessary support to the economy are maintained. Extreme weather is considered to be: Heatwaves, High Winds, Heavy Rain and Flooding, Extreme Cold, Snow and Ice. The network identified was also of relevance for other incidents where the prioritisation of route clearance/repair was required. 1.3. The Council is now by the DfT also being asked to provide consideration of industrial action, major incidents and other local risks beyond weather related incidents impacting on the highway. The document has been updated to reflect this. The Government also recommends that the network is reviewed every two years. It has been 2 years since the original network was identified and so this review has been undertaken. 2. PRIORITISATION PROCESS FOR THE NETWORK 2.1.
