During that time the Arden has become a much- loved local institution winning a string of awards along the way for the excellent quality of the beer and food, pub décor, value for money and great customer service. The pub has been CAMRA Regional Pub of the Year, it has been a regular in the national Good Beer Guide, it features on WKH 1DWLRQDO ,QYHQWRU\ RI +HULWDJH 3XEV and was chosen as Pub of the Year for the Manchester Food and Drink Festival in 2008. Joe told Opening Times: “Myself and my partner Steve have been licensees at the Arden Arms for almost eighteen years. We are so pleased with our journey and of everything we have achieved for the pub. We have always made sure that our customers feel welcome and included, and that the pub is a place where everybody can feel safe and have a sense of belonging. We will be sad not to play an active role at the pub any more; but it will remain in our hearts forever.” Steve and Joe left with a weekend of events from 11 to 13 August with live music, special food and, of course, great beer. They leave with the very best wishes of everyone in CAMRA and out hopes for a long and happy retirement. Their successors were due to take over on 18 August and we hope to meet them in the next issue.

  • Economy & Regeneration
    Date 26 June 2018 Version 1.0 (Cabinet) Approved by KB ECONOMY & REGENERATION PORTFOLIO HOLDER’S INTRODUCTION This is my third annual Portfolio Agreement, which summarises the Economy & Regeneration Portfolio’s work programme and its intended outcomes for the next 12 months. The 2017/18 Annual Report was published last month and this Agreement sets out how we will build on the work described in that report to make our Borough an even better place to live, visit, work and do business. We are working hard to ensure that the Borough’s economy continues to grow, but we are now placing particular emphasis on ensuring this growth is inclusive growth – growth that benefits all sections of our community. Work and skills issues are a key part of this work and earlier this year we held a Work & Skills Commission involving a series of workshops with employers, workers & jobseekers (including young people) and educators & trainers. These aimed to identify the priorities that we need to focus on to ensure our residents have access to good jobs and our workforce has the skills our employers need. Findings from the Commission will inform a work programme for a new Work & Skills Board and I will report on the Board's work in my regular performance reports. Its work will link with and complement work underway in the Reform & Governance portfolio that is investigating factors that seem to trap some of our residents in poverty. Finding and sustaining a good job can be the key to escaping poverty, but ill health can be a barrier to employment.

  • Stockport Parish Church St Mary’S in the Marketplace
    1 Mission focus on Urban Hubs in the Diocese of Chester The Diocese of Chester is seeking to re-imagine ministry in several urban hubs. There is a recognition that urban centres, and their outer estates, have considerable potential for mission and evangelism. There is a collective effort to work collaboratively to resource these areas. The Diocesan Board of Education is resourcing Christian leaders in schools. The Committee for Social Responsibility is investing in creative and transformative projects. The Committee for Ministry is focussing on lay training from and with these communities and the Department of Mission is driving efforts to put evangelism at the heart of urban ministry. Stockport is one of the flagship projects to which the Diocese of Chester is committed. Chester Diocese is embarking on an exciting programme of mission support to its urban centres. As part of this we are delighted to advertise the role of Associate Minister for the newly created central Stockport urban hub, which includes the estate church at Brinnington. This role will report to Rev Lynne Cullens, Rector and vice-chair of the National Estate Churches Network. If you’re passionate about urban and estates ministry, if you’re a creative team player and if you’d like to be part of an innovative partnership approach to urban mission, we’d love to hear from you There is some good practice on which to build. There are examples of those with resources and expertise partnering with our urban centres leading to effective church planting, generous secondment from larger churches and voluntary financial redistribution between parishes.

  • Adult Social Care Portfolio
    Date: July 2018 Version 1.0 Approved by KB 1 ECONOMY AND REGENERATION PORTFOLIO OVERVIEW Portfolio Summary It is not long since the Portfolio Agreement was signed off and the extent to which the performance of the Portfolio reflects the plans and targets set out on the Agreement will be clearer in the Autumn. There is still significant progress to report this quarter however. The Get Digital Faster Superfast Broadband programme deployment completed at the end of May 2018. Take-up of service is currently 38.5% in Stockport and will continue to grow. GMCA has accessed £23.9m from the Local Full Fibre Challenge Fund and feasibility work took place this quarter - Stockport has 123 public premises in scope for full fibre. Work arising from the Stockport Work & Skills Commission has included development of the report and Action Plan. This includes proposals for focused support for young people, in particular to improve work placements and information, advice and guidance for young people. A Partnership Board is being set to drive this work. GM Working Well programme progressed well during the quarter with local services being integrated with the programme. A Local Integration Plan and Board has been set up to ensure that the programme matches local need as closely as possible. It has now achieved its first job outcomes in Stockport and referral numbers are increasing each month. Visitor numbers to our Museums and other cultural attractions remain healthy. During the quarter, the Arts Council England granted full museum accreditation status to the Hat Works, Bramall Hall, Air Raid Shelters, Chadkirk Chapel, Staircase House and Stockport Museum.

  • Stockport Parish Church St Mary’S in the Marketplace
    Stockport Parish Church St Mary’s in the Marketplace 1 Welcome to Stockport Parish Church St Mary’s in the Marketplace St Mary's Church, is the town's oldest place of worship in Stockport and at one time was the centre of a large ecclesiastical parish covering Bramhall, Bredbury, Brinnington, Disley, Dukinfield, Hyde, Marple, Norbury, Offerton, Romiley, Stockport Etchells, Torkington and Werneth. However, as chapels, churches and new areas emerged the parish of Stockport St Mary effectively “shrank”, now covering a much smaller area and over the decades with population demographic shifts, the demolition of local housing etc. the congregation decreased too. St Mary’s is heritage rich (with a beautiful Grade 1 listed building, a local landmark of great importance within the town) but is “cash” poor, being financially unsustainable in the long term and unable to continue to stand alone in 21st Century Stockport. St Mary’s has been unable to meet its financial obligations to the Diocese for payment of its Parish Share for many years. St Mary’s is now looking to move forward, to start a new chapter in its ministry and mission, reviewing the boundaries, the needs of the people of Stockport and therefore preparing for the next 100 years and beyond. Stockport is an exciting place to live, with plans from the local council looking carefully at redevelopment of the town centre, both promoting businesses and the provision of additional housing in the area. There are already excellent transport links (Manchester Airport is minutes away and there are fast rail links into Manchester across the north of England and into London.

Executive Summary 1.1 Overall, the consultation has shown that people in Stockport value the current museum offer and are resistant to changes to the current portfolio of sites. 1.2 The proposal to reduce the number of museum sites operated by the Council, which would potentially involve changing the current offer at Stockport Museum, the War Memorial Art Gallery and Chadkirk Chapel elicited the most negative response of all the proposals. This has also led to establishment of two public petitions on the change.org platform, which have collectively 7099 signatories. 1.3 The feedback on the proposal in relation to opening hours received a slightly less negative response than the proposal to reduce the number of museum sites, but the majority of respondents did not agree with this proposal. 1.4 Support was more balanced for the proposal to change fees and charges for admission to Stockport’s museums. 2.

  • Semantic-Based Destination Suggestion in Intelligent Tourism Information Systems
    Semantic-Based Destination Suggestion in Intelligent Tourism Information Systems Michelangelo Ceci, Annalisa Appice, and Donato Malerba Dipartimento di Informatica, Universit`adegli Studi di Bari via Orabona, 4 - 70126 Bari - Italy {ceci, appice, malerba}@di.uniba.it Abstract. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in mining trajectories of moving objects. Advances in this data mining task are likely to support the development of new applications such as mobility prediction and service pre-fetching. Approaches reported in the liter- ature consider only spatio-temporal information provided by collected trajectories. However, some applications demand additional sources of information to make correct predictions. In this work, we consider the case of an on-line tourist support service which aims at suggesting places to visit in the nearby. We assume tourist interests depend both on her/his geographical position and on the “semantic” information extracted from geo-referenced documents associated to the visited sites. Therefore, the suggestion is based on both spatio-temporal data as well as on textual data. To deal with tourist’s interest drift we apply a time-slice density estimation method. Experimental results are reported for two scenarios. 1 Introduction Tourism has become, in the second part of last century, one of the most important economic activities in the world. According to World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC), in 2005, about 11% of World Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was generated by the tourism sector and a considerable part (more than 200 million people) of the global workforce is employed [3]. In addition, it is predicted to Knowledge on the past positions of the tourist can be used both to suggest the next preferred destination and to anticipate or pre-fetch possible services there.
