We know this because Animal Aid and Hillside Animal Sanctuary have placed fly-on- the-wall cameras inside 15 English slaughterhouses and found how workers behave when they think they are not being watched.

Travel, movement and operational restrictions have been implemented by many countries. We continue to be faced with an unprecedented set of circumstances caused by COVID-19 and an absence of relevant/sufficient market evidence on which to base our judgements. Our advice is provided subject to this material uncertainty and a higher degree of caution should be attached to our advice than would normally be the case. This explanatory note is included to ensure transparency and to provide further insight as to the market context under which our advice has been prepared. In recognition of the potential for market conditions to move rapidly in response to changes in the control or future spread of COVID-19 we highlight the importance of the date on which this advice is provided. 1.0 Introduction Introducing Nelson 1.1 The former mill town of Nelson has a population of over 30,0001 people, the largest in the Borough of Pendle (89,500 people), and serves as its principal retail, service and administrative centre.

This flooding occurred as a result of high flows and blockages in the brook. Today, 79 properties are at risk of flooding in the village with a 1% (1 in 100) chance of occurrence in any one year. 64 of these properties are at risk from more frequent events. Flooding in Trawden is caused by water coming out of the channel when river levels are too high. This is made worse when the channel becomes blocked by debris at bridge crossings. Rainfall can flow very quickly through the catchment, which means there is a limited amount of time in which to warn people of flooding. Whilst there is currently no flood warning service in place for Trawden we are looking at the possibility of providing this service.

  • Consultation on Key Issues and Draft Policies May 2018 Colne Neighbourhood Plan Issues and Draft Policies Consultation – May 2018 2
    Consultation On Key Issues and Draft Policies May 2018 Colne Neighbourhood Plan Issues and Draft Policies Consultation – May 2018 2 Foreword The Colne Neighbourhood Plan – a vision for Colne until 2030 Have your say! Our Colne Plan Consultation finishes on 30th June. Thank you for helping us formulate our Colne Plan. If you care about Colne, you must take part in this consultation, so your views are represented. We wanted to set our own local agenda for the town and to engage with the people who live and work in Colne in order to do so. Neighbourhood Plans have been around for seven years, but there aren’t many in Lancashire. Once we realised that the people who care about the town most can have their say about Colne’s future, we decided to embark on the long and complicated journey of completing a Neighbourhood Plan. Our Working Party, consisting of Councillors, local charities and community groups, has been working on this draft document for over a year and are now ready to hear what you think in our informal consultation. We have formulated 16 policies and these slot into six broad themes: • Historic Colne • Green Spaces • Housing Growth • Community Facilities • Our Town Centre • Transport We want to get our policies right and we want your input. Perhaps we need to add more policy areas or policies? Perhaps we need to rework those we have already drafted? If you agree with our policies, please tell us! It could be that only one or two policy areas are close to your heart – that doesn’t matter, just give us your view on those.
