But you may not have realised that our graduate placement, Jayne Ashe, has made a head start and has been busy supporting and co-ordinating a new 'Pendle Hill Volunteers Group' over the last year. The volunteers have been able to carry out small-scale tasks to improve the local environment of the hill, including woodland management, surveying, removal of invasives and hedgelaying amongst other things. We see this group growing and developing as the Pendle Hill LP begins its delivery phase next year. Ribble Rivers Trust have been going from strength to strength recently, with new initiatives and projects sprouting up across the AONB, including the ambitious and exciting 'Ribble Life Together' catchment- wide initiative and the River Loud Farmer Facilitation Group.

  • Report Of: Executive Manager Community Services
    AGENDA ITEM: 6/16 CABINET: 15 June 2010 Report of: Executive Manager Community Services Relevant Portfolio Holder: Councillor A Fowler Contact for further information: Mr S Kent (Extn. 5169) (E-mail: [email protected]) SUBJECT: USE OF SECTION 106 MONIES IN BANKS, HESKETH BANK AND WRIGHTINGTON Wards affected: North Meols, Hesketh with Becconsall, Wrightington 1.0 PURPOSE OF THE REPORT 1.1 To consider requests from North Meols, Hesketh with Becconsall, and Wrightington Parish Councils regarding the use of monies received by the Borough Council from housing developers for the enhancement of public open space and recreation provision in their Parishes. 2.0 RECOMMENDATIONS TO CABINET 2.1 That the projects detailed in section 6 of this report be approved and the Section 106 sums of £104,510 for North Meols, £93,250 for Hesketh with Becconsall ( £29,400 from available funds and £63,850 when available from funds due), and £81,710 for Wrightington be made available to the respective Parish Councils for their projects. 2.2 That the commuted sums be paid to the respective Parish Councils subject to them entering into suitable legal agreements with the Council. 3.0 BACKGROUND 3.1 Members will recall that under policy LE.13 of the local plan developers must provide open space facilities as part of housing developments. Where developments are less than 20 dwellings or on sites where it is nor reasonable to expect a developer to provide on-site facilities, and where there is a deficiency of open space, the Council can require a commuted sum for the provision and maintenance of improvements to nearby open space or for the creation of new leisure related facilities in the area.

  • Shoreline Summary
    HESKETH WITH BECCONSALL PARISH COUNCIL Shoreline Summary Edition Number 23 ~ April 2011 Spring has arrived at last – it doesn’t mean the end of the cold and wet weather but it does mean longer days with a promise of warmer weather and sun shine to come. Hesketh Bank Allotments Update Hesketh Bank Allotments and Leisure Gardeners Association are delighted to announce that the beginning of April saw the newly created Hesketh Bank Allotments site fully open to all plot holders. With the much needed support from our very committed local sponsors the former ‘Poor Marsh’ site has been transformed into the brand new Hesketh Bank community allotment site. With a total of 57 large plots and some smaller raised beds it is set to become one of the largest community allotment sites in West Lancashire and is a great asset for the village. In these times of austerity and with the demand for growing space at an all time high this is a magnificent achievement and is a symbol of the air of optimism within Hesketh Bank. HBALGA have worked tirelessly with the Parish Council for over 2 years to create a space where local residents can grow their own fruit and vegetables and the 17 lucky plot holders who were able to move on site in June last year are starting to see all their hard work paying off. On the plots you can tell that Spring has most certainly ‘Sprung’ and there is a real feeling amongst many that the village is truly beginning to sprout new shoots of growth in all aspects.

  • H.S.Or L & C.VOLX
    PLR'TE I H.S.Or L & C.VOLX. 1 TKANSACTIONS. ON THE POPULATION OF LANCASHIRE AND CHESHIRE, AND ITS LOCAL DISTRIBUTION DURING THE FIFTY YEARS 1801-51. By J. T. Danson, V.P., and T. A. Welton, Bags. (RBAD lOia DECEMBKB, 1857.) PART SECOND. IN the first part of this paper we observed that the two counties, as they are now combined by the Registrar General, to form what is termed the " North Western division" of England and Wales, have an area of 1,874,000 acres. This is about 2928 square miles. And as England and Wales contain about 57,800 square miles, our own district comprises about |j| one-twentieth part of that area. The population of the N.W. division, we <,' also observed, was in 1851 about two millions and a half; and that of J | England and Wales having been, at the same date, very nearly eighteen V; millions, it follows that upon one-twentieth of the area, we had then about *Kli * one-seventh of the population of this, the most densely peopled part of the United Kingdom. The proportion is probably now different. During the fifty years in view, our section of the population had increased by 185 per cent., while that of England and Wales, on the whole, had increased only by about 100 per cent. We have no reason to suppose that these rates have, during the last six years, been materially changed. In round numbers, then, the inhabitants of Lancashire and Cheshire are probably now increasing in number at an annual rate, exceeding that of the country, as a whole, in the proportion of three to two.* Further, at the beginning of the century (1801,) the Town population of our district, treating as such that portion of it dwelling in towns of 2000 185 Per cent, in 60 years is two and one-tenth per cent, per annum.

  • Shoreline Summary
    HESKETH WITH BECCONSALL PARISH COUNCIL Shoreline Summary Edition Number 20 October 2010 ~ I can’t believe that it is now very nearly October, whatever happened to July and August (and for that matter September), in fact where has summer gone? The old saying ‘the older you get the faster time passes’ is proving to be very true in my case! My memory of summers were long hot sunny days throughout the summer ‘months’, now summer seems to be two weeks in June followed by weeks of warm, wet, humid weather and believe it or not, a water shortage and hose pipe ban! You can normally guarantee rain when it’s Southport Flower Show week and it is to be hoped that the winner of the Parish Councils ‘Win Tickets for the Flower Show’ competition, featured in the last edition of Shoreline Summary, benefitted from a dry day. Seven entrants got the correct answer to the question ‘what is the botanical name of the Pot Marigold?’ - Calendula officinalis; it’s a member of the daisy family Asteraceae and is commonly used in cooking. Congratulations go to Mrs Holly Kirkham of Holwood, Shore Road, Hesketh Bank whose entry was the first drawn from the hat. All the Councillors hope that you enjoyed your visit. THANKS TO ……….. Arden Lea Nurseries Ltd who has again kindly donated the hanging baskets that brightened up the village during the summer and for stocking the large planter on the corner of Moss Lane which has added a splash of colour to that area. Booths and the Eric Wright Group for the care and consideration they have shown to the local community in minimising disruption during the construction of the new store.
