  • Electoral Review of Salford City Council
    Electoral review of Salford City Council Response to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England’s consultation on Warding Patterns August 2018 1 1 Executive Summary 1.1 Salford in 2018 has changed dramatically since the city’s previous electoral review of 2002. Salford has seen a turnaround in its fortunes over recent years, reversing decades of population decline and securing high levels of investment. The city is now delivering high levels of growth, in both new housing and new jobs, and is helping to drive forward both Salford’s and the Greater Manchester economies. 1.2 The election of the Greater Manchester Mayor and increased devolution of responsibilities to Greater Manchester, and the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, is fundamentally changing the way Salford City Council works in areas of economic development, transport, work and skills, planning, policing and more recently health and social care. 1.3 Salford’s directly elected City Mayor has galvanised the city around eight core priorities – the Great Eight. Delivering against these core priorities will require the sustained commitment and partnership between councillors, partners in the private, public, community and voluntary and social enterprise sectors, and the city’s residents. This is even more the case in the light of ongoing national policy changes, the impending departure of the UK from the EU, and continued austerity in funding for vital local services. The city’s councillors will have an absolutely central role in delivering against these core priorities, working with all our partners and residents to harness the energies and talents of all of the city.

  • THE CHURCHES of LANCASTER -THEIR CONTRIBUTION to the LANDSCAPE by P
    Contrebis 2000 THE CHURCHES OF LANCASTER -THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO THE LANDSCAPE by P. Gedge A dominant image of Lancaster is of the parish church standing on the hill overlooking the town, alongside the castle - symbolising that union of church and state which characterised medieval Christendom. The Romans seem to have been the first to grasp the strategic importance of this site and constructed a fort c.80 AD. A small town developed below and Church Street still marks the line of the road from the east gate. Some time after the Roman empire collapsed Christians began worshipping in the fort area, as happened elsewhere such as York. Exactly when the first Christian church was built on Castle Hill is not clear. Some claim c630. Fragments of Anglian crosses and remains of a pre-Nornan church survive with a simple Saxon doorway in the west end of the existing church. So a stone church has held this commanding position in Lancaster's townscape for over a thousand years. In 1094 this church was given by Roger of Poitou, to the Abbey of St Martin of Seez and Benedictine monks from there founded a Priory with residential buildings. In 1428 this was transferred to the Convent of Sion in Middlesex and the church became the Parish Church of one of those large parishes typical of Lancashire. The present building which so dominates the skyline, is principally a fifteenth century rebuilding with a high tower rebuilt in 'Gothick' style in 1754. Only two other medieval ecclesiastical buildings are recorded in Lancaster as the town remained small.

  • Construction of the A6 to Manchester Airport Relief Road
    Application No : 13/3455M Location: Land to the south of Stockport, adjacent to and between the A6 (Buxton Road) and land to the east of the Styal railway line, north of Styal Golf Course. Proposal: Construction of the A6 to Manchester Airport Relief Road (whole route), incorporating: • Seven new road junctions; • Modification to four existing road junctions; • Four new rail bridge crossings; • Three new public rights of way/accommodation bridges; • Four new road bridges; • A pedestrian & cycle route; • Six balancing ponds; and • Associated landscaping, lighting and infrastructure works. Within Cheshire East: • modifications to one existing road junction; • two new public rights of way/accommodation bridges; • one new road bridge; • a pedestrian and cycle route for the whole length of the relief road, including retrofitting it to the existing section of the A555; • one balancing pond for drainage purposes; and • associated landscaping, lighting, engineering and infrastructure works. Applicant: Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council, Cheshire East Borough Council & Manchester City Council Expiry Date: 24/02/2014 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Planning permission is sought to construct a new dual carriageway from the A6 near to Hazel Grove (south east Stockport) to Manchester Airport and the link road to the M56. The application spans three Authority boundaries, namely Stockport MBC, Cheshire East Council and Manchester City Council, and as such, a detailed planning application has been submitted to the three authorities for determination of the scheme which falls within each of the Authority boundaries. This report covers in detail the proposed scheme which falls within Cheshire East. It is considered important that all decision makers are fully furnished with the whole proposed scheme and relevant facts pertaining to it, the report therefore also covers details outside of the Cheshire East boundary.

  • Capital Programme 2015/16 – 2020/21: Technical Appendix
    2 Greater Manchester Local Transport Plan 3 | Capital Programme 2015/16 – 2020/21: Technical Appendix Capital Programme 2015/16 – 2020/21: Technical Appendix This document provides a summary of the business case for each of the major schemes in the 2015/16 to 2020/21 Capital Programme.. Greater Manchester Local Transport Plan 3 | Capital Programme 2015/16 – 2020/21: Technical Appendix 3 SCHEME NAME: South Heywood Growth Area Wide Improvement Headline Description: The scheme involves the construction of a 1km link road between the M62 Junction 19 and the Hareshill Road/Manchester Road junction, a tie-in to the M62 at Junction 19, works to the Manchester Road junction, and widening and upgrading of Hareshill Road. The scheme would provide access to existing and planned employment sites, including the Heywood Distribution Park/Simplified Planning Zone, and future housing and employment development in the South Heywood area as well as relieving congestion in and around Heywood Town Centre. It is proposed that the new link road and the improvement to the Manchester Road junction would be funded by the LTB, the tie-in to the M62 would be funded by Rochdale Council and the improvement to Hareshill Road would be funded by private sector development. There is a requirement for the link road to be constructed in advance of the development and improvements to Hareshill Road. The new link road is fully endorsed and supported by the Highway Agency who, as part of their Pinch Point Programme, will be delivering improvements to the M62 Junction 19. The scheme will involve improvements to the roundabout and its connecting slip roads, which will provide better access to Heywood Distribution Park, as well as reducing congestion and improving journey time reliability on the M62 and M66 as a result.
