Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham Liz Humphrey Inquiries and Major Casework Team The Planning Inspectorate Via email: [email protected] Chris Banks Parkside Colliery Inquiry Programme Officer Via email [email protected] 7th January, 2021 Ref AB/CTR/MW Dear Inspector Applications by Parkside Regeneration LLP & St Helens MBC Site Address: Former Parkside Colliery, Winwick Road, Newton Le Willows; Land between A49 Winwick Road to A573 Parkside Road I am writing to reiterate my previously stated position in relation to the above applications which you are currently conducting a planning inquiry into. I support the residents of Lowton, Golborne and Ashton-in-Makerfield and share their longstanding concerns about the impact of traffic from these developments on the roads and environment in the neighbouring borough of Wigan. As the Mayor of Greater Mayor (and formerly MP for Leigh) I have made representations to the St. Helens Local Plan Submission Draft in respect of the impact of development. The planning applications submitted do not address the concerns raised in relation to the impact of the development (particularly in relation to highways and air quality). In my opinion the impact on and implications for neighbouring areas, have not been properly considered by St. Helens in coming to its decision to grant planning permission for these planning applications The main route from the proposed development site to the A580 East Lancashire Road would be via Wigan’s highway network and involve the use of Winwick Lane and Newton Road. These roads form part of the Greater Manchester Key Route Network and as such could have a major impact on Wigan’s road network. Even with the proposed link road, Winwick Lane forms part of the shortest route to the A580 and as such represents significant savings to businesses (operating both light and heavy goods vehicles) which are extremely cost and time sensitive. There is concern that the A580 may become a gateway, as it provides easy access to Golborne, Lowton, Leigh and the wider Greater Manchester area. In addition, the development will attract commuter traffic to Winwick Lane which also needs to be factored in when ascertaining the impact of the development. An equally important concern is the potential impact on air quality. Greater Manchester is working hard to tackle air pollution, which is damaging the health of our residents. The government has instructed Greater Manchester authorities to develop Clean Air Plans to bring levels of NO2 on local roads within legal limits as soon as possible and we are working GMCA, Broadhurst House, 56 Oxford Street, Manchester, M1 6EU together to produce a single approach for the whole region: Clean Air Greater Manchester (cleanairgm.com). Proposals at the site have generated significant concern within the neighbouring authority area of Wigan. Representations have been made by residents, Wigan Council and myself (as either MP or Greater Manchester Mayor) at all stages of the plan making process and planning application stages. The impact of the development on the roads and environment of Wigan has not been given proper consideration, and there is a very real concern that development of this scale will generate significant traffic which will be displaced onto the Key Route Network within Wigan Council and will have a negative impact on air quality in areas already in exceedance of harmful Nitrogen Dioxide levels. It is therefore important that you properly consider the impacts of the development on the road network and the air quality, particularly in the neighbouring authority of Wigan. Thank you for your consideration, Yours sincerely Andy Burnham Mayor of Greater Manchester .

  • Passenger Focus Reponse to Section 17 Transpennine Express Application
    Thank you for sending Passenger Focus details of First/Keolis Transpennine Limited’s draft application for a new Track Access Contract to cover the period December 2013 to December 2016. Industry Background and Processes 1. We note that it is driven by the extension to TPE’s Franchise Agreement, which has three DfT priorities: to provide an enhanced level of services between Manchester and Scotland, utilising the route via Golborne Junction and Wigan scheduled to be electrified by autumn 2013; to support the delivery of additional capacity for some of the key Northern cities: Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield and Newcastle; to reduce the subsidy paid to Franchise Operators. 2. The application proposes that the Track Access Contract will be in place for a further three years - until the Passenger Change Date 2016, which will allow TPE, on the priority date in March 2015, if necessary, to exercise rights for the 2016 timetable (beginning in December 2015), which will provide certainty to a new franchisee. 3. The ORR wrote to the industry on 23 September 2011 setting out restrictions on its consideration of applications for Track Access Contracts beyond December 2013. Network Rail indicated to TPE that it would not be prepared to accept a submission under Section 22 of the Railways Act; consequently TPE has had recourse to the provisions of Section 17. 4. In drafting the contract TPE has sought to adhere to ORR’s policy as set down in the letter of 23 September 2011; the application is restricted to rights for a quantum of train services supported by calling patterns.

  • 6 Merseyside
    6 Merseyside 6.1 Administrative set-up Merseyside takes its name from the River Mersey and is a metropolitan county in North West England. Merseyside came into existence as a metropolitan county in 1974, after the passage of the Local Government Act 1972, and the county consists of five metropolitan boroughs adjoining the Mersey Estuary, including the City of Liverpool. Merseyside encompasses about 645 km2 (249 sq miles) and has a population of around 1,350,100 (Office of National Statistics). Number of Males Females Total Area Merseyside people per (thousands) (thousands) (thousands) (hectares) hectare Knowsley 71.7 79.1 150.8 8629.3 17.48 Liverpool 212.7 222.8 435.5 11159.08 39.03 Sefton 131.3 144.9 276.2 15455.66 17.87 St Helens 86.5 91 177.5 13589.08 13.06 Wirral 147.7 162.4 310.1 15704.9 19.75 Total 649.9 700.2 1350.1 64538.02 107.19 Table 3 Demographics of Merseyside (sourced various from ONS www.statistics.gov.uk) Merseyside County Council was abolished in 1986, and so its districts (the metropolitan boroughs) are now essentially unitary authorities. However, the metropolitan county continues to exist in law and as a geographic frame of reference. Merseyside is divided into two parts by the Mersey Estuary: the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral is located to the west of the estuary on the Wirral Peninsula; the rest of the county is located on the eastern side of the estuary. The eastern boroughs of Merseyside border Lancashire to the north and Greater Manchester to the east, and both parts of Merseyside, west and east of the estuary, border Cheshire to the south.

  • The Fee of Makerfield; with an Account of Some of Its Lords, the Barons ' of Newton
    THE FEE OF MAKERFIELD; WITH AN ACCOUNT OF SOME OF ITS LORDS, THE BARONS ' OF NEWTON. By William Beamont, Esq. (BEAD FEBRUARY 22nD, 1872.) ENGLISH historians have joined chorus in ascribing to our immortal Alfred the institution of hundreds and townships into which the country is now divided. Certain it is that when he resumed the throne after his temporary retirement, and found, owing to Danish misrule, the ancient police of the country in ruin, he first set himself to readjust and settle upon their present hasis the shires of the kingdom, and then divided them into hundreds, and these again into vills, town­ ships, or decennaries. Butyas est ab hoste doceri, and from Denmark where hundreds, each under its own centenarius, had been known both as a civil and military division of the country for two hundred years, Alfred probably introduced that institution into England, although something similar to it had prevailed among the ancient Germans, from whom both the Franks who became musters of Gaul, and the Saxons who settled in England, were derived. In England, however, and particularly in the northern counties, it seems not to have been always necessary that a hundred should contain a hundred townships, for where a large district happened to belong to one owner, such a district, without reference to the number of its vills, was often constituted a hundred. Gayton in Cheshire, and Newton and Warrington u ' 82 in Lancashire, became hundreds of this sort. (Hist. Chesh. ii, 275-285, and the Domesday Survey of South Lancashire.) Alfred's great achievement, of which he is entitled to the full merit, was his dividing the kingdom into tithings, decen­ naries, vills or townships, each containing ten families, and in each of which an excellent way to preserve the peace every man was made answerable for his neighbour, while in each there was a domestic tribunal where justice was administered to every man at his own door.
