  • Advisory Visit River Bollin, Styal Country Park, Cheshire February
    Advisory Visit River Bollin, Styal Country Park, Cheshire February 2010 1.0 Introduction This report is the output of a site visit undertaken by Tim Jacklin of the Wild Trout Trust to the River Bollin, Cheshire on 19th February 2010. Comments in this report are based on observations on the day of the site visit and discussions with Kevin Nash (Fisheries Technical Specialist) and Andy Eaves (Fisheries Technical Officer) of the Environment Agency (EA), North West Region (South Area). Normal convention is applied throughout the report with respect to bank identification, i.e. the banks are designated left hand bank (LHB) or right hand bank (RHB) whilst looking downstream. 2.0 Catchment / Fishery Overview The River Bollin is 49 km long and rises in the edge of Macclesfield Forest, flowing west to join the River Mersey (Manchester Ship Canal) near Lymm. The River Dean is the major tributary of the Bollin, and the catchment area totals 273 km2. The section of river visited flows through Styal Country Park, downstream of Quarry Bank Mill, and is owned by the National Trust. A previous Wild Trout Trust visit was carried out further downstream at the National Trust property at Dunham Massey. The Bollin falls within the remit of the Mersey Life Project which aims to carry out a phased programme of river restoration, initially focussing on the non-tidal section of the River Mersey, the River Bollin and River Goyt (http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/homeandleisure/wildlife/102362.aspx). The construction of fish passes on Heatley and Bollington Mill weirs in the lower Bollin catchment means it is now possible for migratory species (e.g.

    SPOTLAND BRIDGE AREA Historic development DRAFT FOR CONSULTATION Peter Rowlinson BA (Hons) MSc MRTPI Head of Planning & Regulation Services Mark Robinson Dip TP MRTPI Chief Planning Officer Rochdale Metropolitan Borough Council PO Box 32, Telegraph House, Baillie Street, Rochdale. OL16 1JH Written by Mathilde GUERIN - Project Assistant Kerrie Smith - Conservation Project Officer Conservation & Design Conservation & Design Email: [email protected] Email: [email protected] February 2013 Spotland Bridge area - Historic Development Draft for consultation 1. Map progression analysis View to Spotland Road looking west, mid 20th century, date unknown Origins The industrial history of Spotland Bridge started around 1610 when five fulling mills were con- structed along the River Spodden The fulling mills were driven by water wheels and used to finish the cloth to make it ready for sale. The ‘clothiers’ created this Factory System; they built these mills and the Dye Works and bought ‘pieces’ of cloth from the handloom weavers. By 1740 the area had expanded substantially and was consequently chosen as the location for a workhouse (visible on this 1831 Ordnance Survey map) which was located at the south- ern end of what is now Primrose Street. This provided homes and jobs for 100 orphans and elderly men and women. The workhouse formed one of the rallying points of the Rochdale Poor Law Union, which fought the 1837 Poor Law revisions. In March 1873, the Old Spotland Workhouse partially collapsed, possibly because of subsidence due to an old coal-pit be- neath the building. However it was used for another four years, waiting for the construction of Birch Hill Hospital (former Dearnley Workhouse).

  • Proposed Pattern of Wards for the Electoral Review of Rochdale Borough
    Electoral Review of Rochdale__________________________________________________________ Proposed Pattern of Wards for the Electoral Review of Rochdale Borough Introduction 1. The Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) informed the Council, in early 2019, of its decision to carry out an Electoral Review of the Council size (number of elected Councillors) and the number of wards and ward boundaries for Rochdale Borough Council. 1.1 This report sets out the Council’s response to the invitation from the LGBCE to put forward its preferred future pattern of wards for Rochdale Borough. 1.2 All of the proposed warding patterns within this submission adhere to the statutory criteria governing electoral reviews set out by the LGBCE: The new pattern of wards should mean that each councillor represents roughly the same number of voters as elected members elsewhere in the authority to secure equality of representation. Ward patterns should, as far as possible, reflect community interests and identities and boundaries should be identifiable. The electoral arrangements should promote effective and convenient local government and reflect the electoral cycle of the council. 1.3 In developing the future pattern of wards, the Council has recognised the importance of electoral equality to a fair democratic process and has understood and considered that delivering Rochdale’s priorities relies on ward boundaries which reflect the communities they serve, bringing partners and communities with common interests and identities within clearly recognised geographical boundaries. 1.4 The proposed ward boundaries within this submission seek to capture the characteristics of Rochdale’s established and emerging communities whilst reflecting the important role these boundaries will play in supporting the delivery of public service from 2022 onwards.

  • River Irk – Greater Manchester
    River Irk – Greater Manchester An advisory visit carried out by the Wild Trout Trust – Feb 2015 1 1. Introduction This report is the output of a Wild Trout Trust Advisory Visit (AV) undertaken along approximately 3km of the River Irk in Greater Manchester. The visit was carried out by Dr. Paul Gaskell and hosted by Jo Fraser (Groundwork North West), Mike Duddy (Salford Friendly Anglers) and Dave Barlow (Manchester City Council). The River Irk was walked from an upstream limit at NGR (National Grid Reference) SD 86762 05493 to a downstream limit at SD 83972 03627 Throughout the report, normal convention is followed with respect to bank identification i.e. banks are designated Left Hand Bank (LHB) or Right Hand Bank (RHB) whilst looking downstream. Figure 1: Map overview of the catchment including upstream (yellow triangle) and downstream (red dot) limits of inspected reaches 2. Catchment overview The surveyed sections of watercourse are all captured within a single waterbody (GB112069061130); listed as River Irk – Wince Brook to Moston Brook. A number of the parameters are judged to be of less than “Good Potential” for this heavily modified waterbody (e.g. excerpted data given in Table 1.) – giving an overall current and projected ecological potential of “Moderate”. The stand-out assessment results are those for “Phosphate” and “Invertebrate” parameters that are judged to be of “Poor” and “Bad” potential respectively; resulting in an overall biological quality of “Bad”. The presence of a detergents factory (with associated, documented pollution and fish-kill incidents) is a fundamental issue for this section of the River Irk.

  • Natural Flood Management Proposals Crompton Moor, Oldham
    Natural Flood Management Proposals Crompton Moor, Oldham Background A survey has been undertaken by the Natural Flood Management Advisor at the Mersey Forest who was able to identify a series of potential Natural Flood Management measures on the moor, see location plan below. The site assessment was also attended by City of Trees and members of the Friends of Crompton Moor. NFM measures are being considered to help slow down and reduce the amount of rainwater entering the Old Brook which flows into the River Beal, that latter being identified by the Environment Agency as source of flood risk to communities in Crompton and Shaw. The survey found 4 potential options for delivering NFM, see context map below. Option Context Map Option 2 Option 3 Option 4 44 Option 1 Option 1 – Plantation Woodland & Adjacent field boundary Drainage Ditch Water drains into the woodland from an external adjacent drainage ditch at the bottom of the moor. After rainfall this forms a shallow stream that runs through the woodland and it drains into the Old Brook via a culvert. It is proposed that a log jam is constructed across the course of this stream to allow water to back up into a depression to create an area of ‘wet woodland’ following rainfall events. The log jam would be constructed using felled timber from the immediate vicinity. This will also allow more light into the woodland and help to facilitate colonisation by wet loving understorey species. Drainage ditch containing pipe Culvert daylighted here Log Jam Example of log jam installed in a woodland Culvert Discharging into the Plantation Water Flowing Through the Plantation from the Culvert Option 2 – Dam Old Brook to utilise storage space of abandoned reservoir Inspection of the upper course of the Old Brook revealed a large adjacent depression which appeared to be the location of an abandoned reservoir, probably associated with historical mining activity.
