  • Report Peak Hour Bus Lane Order TRO 1891/92/93
    Part 1 - Open to the Public ITEM NO. 4 REPORT OF THE STRATEGIC DIRECTOR ENVIRONMENT AND COMMUNITY SAFETY TO TRAFFIC ADVISORY PANEL ON 18 TH DECEMBER TITLE: A56 Bury New Road and A665 Bury Old Road, Salford Peak hour bus lane order – TRO 1891/92/93 RECOMMENDATIONS: That the Assistant Mayor for Strategic Planning considers the contents of this report and the deliberations of the Traffic Advisory Panel and makes a decision to introduce the proposed Traffic Regulation order as advertised. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: As part of the introduction of bus lane enforcement there is a need to review all the traffic regulation orders in the City. This exercise was completed and anomalies with the order and lining / signing were found which required the order to be amended and advertised. This advertisement of the order resulted in one objection regarding the method of advertising the order and that car passengers could not board or alight whilst the bus lane is operative. The bus lanes within this TRO front only a number of residential properties and alternative access not involving additional mileage for private hires or taxis are readily available. The details of the order are consistent with our neighbouring councils who carry out bus lane enforcement. It is therefore recommended that the order be introduced as advertised. BACKGROUND DOCUMENTS: Emails from the objectors. KEY DECISION: NO 1 DETAILS: As part of the introduction of bus lane enforcement in Salford there is a requirement to review the Traffic Regulation Orders. As part of this process the lines and signs were reviewed for correctness against the order and the requirements set down in “The Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions”.

  • RHS Garden Bridgewater
    New RHS garden announced The RHS is unveiling plans to create a stunning new 63 hectare (156 acre) garden in the heart of the North West - by bringing back to life the lost historic grounds at Worsley New Hall in Salford. Horticultural highlights will include the restoration of the four hectare (ten acre) Walled Kitchen Garden, one of the largest in the UK. Plans also include a new schools Learning Centre to grow young people’s horticultural knowledge. The fifth garden will be named RHS Garden Bridgewater, and is planned to open in 2019 as part of the Society's wider, ten-year £100 million investment programme to achieve its Vision to enrich everyone's lives through plants, and make the UK a greener and more beautiful place. A new start in Salford - see a gallery of images from the site As a result of collaboration between the RHS, Peel Land and Property and Salford City Council, the ambitious landscape and horticultural aspirations for RHS Garden Bridgewater will create a major new destination garden which aims to welcome and inspire one million people a year within a decade. RHS Garden Bridgewater will join the Society's current portfolio of gardens at Wisley in Surrey; Hyde Hall in Essex; Rosemoor in Devon and Harlow Carr in Yorkshire. RHS Director General, Sue Biggs, said: 'We always thought it would take us a long time to find the ideal site for our Fifth Garden, but with its beautiful landscapes, good public transport links and outstanding location, Worsley New Hall was an opportunity we couldn’t miss.' Commenting on the plans, broadcaster and RHS Vice President, Alan Titchmarsh MBE, said: 'The development of the RHS’ new fifth Garden will be the biggest hands-on gardening project the charity will have undertaken in its 211-year history.

  • Physical-Force Chartism: the Cotton District and the Chartist Crisis of 1839*
    ROBERTSYKES PHYSICAL-FORCE CHARTISM: THE COTTON DISTRICT AND THE CHARTIST CRISIS OF 1839* There is a real need to integrate local and national approaches to the study of Chartism. The inadequacies of the pioneering studies of the national movement certainly revealed the need to return to the local roots of the movement.' However, the pattern of local studies largely established by the important volume of Chartist Studies edited by Asa Briggs has had some unfortunate consequences.2 The attempt to provide a comprehensive account of Chartism in a given locality, and cover the entire period from 1838 to 1848, has often precluded extended examination of key issues. Such matters as the relationship between Chartism and other forms of popular protest, Chartist ideology and tactics, the relationship between the Char- tists and the middle class, and the whole cultural and organisational dimen- sion of Chartism have only recently begun to receive detailed analysis.3 There has been a marked tendency for one of the most remarkable aspects of Chartism, the extent to which diverse localities were united in a national movement, to be obscured. Indeed it is evident that many historians returned to the local roots of Chartism without adequate assessments of Chartist ideology, tactics, national organisation and national leadership. Some important recent work has done much to enhance our understanding of such matters.4 A more meaningful assessment of how events in the localities interacted with the national movement is now possible. * I am grateful for the valuable comments of Dr I. J. Prothero and Mrs Dorothy Thompson on an early draft of this article.
