  • A.L.L. S.A.F.E. ALLSAFE ALLSAFE Was Implemented to Combat the Upsurge in Anti Social Behaviour in the Wai Ms Ley Close Area of Accrington
    Lancashire Constabulary The Tilley Award 2003 Category: Partnership A.L.L. S.A.F.E. ALLSAFE ALLSAFE was implemented to combat the upsurge in anti social behaviour in the Wai ms ley Close area of Accrington. Hyndburn Council Community Wardens and CBW have first identified this, which was further evidenced by the rise in the number of Police incidents being reported. A letter drop to 70 residents revealed the main concerns were that the area was run down, insufficient household security, the streets were badly lit, which contributed to a greater "fear of crime' factor. Anti-Social behaviour was rife, they identified that most offenders were congregating around 2 problematic addresses. To combat the problems, ALL-SAFE commenced in September 2002. The Police, Social Services, Wardens, Housing and Maundy Grange Charity joined forces to deal with the 2 addresses and their associate problems, to either re-integrate the occupants or, as eventually occurred, to re-locate them. Juvenile nuisance immediately reduced dramatically. Once the occupants left, so did the problem youths. Fear of crime was tackled by encouraging the charity 'Age Concern' to embrace the project. Funding was obtained resulting in all elderly residents in the area having free security devises installed in their houses (alarms, door locks, chains, window locks.) 'Community E-mail*, was introduced, in order to improve reassurance. Funding for email telephones, installed in homes in the Close, was obtained, and encourages "involvement*. The system was so successful that it was extended throughout Hyndburn. A media campaign promoted our work in the area, and challenged other agencies to get involved.

  • Streetscene Enforcement Policy
    Streetscene Enforcement Policy INTRODUCTION Burnley Burough Council wants to make the Borough a place where the streets and open spaces are clean, safe and well, maintained. Sustainable lifestyles will be promoted which emphasise waste minimisation, recycling and respect for the environment. It is the aim of the Council to protect the public and the environment and promote health, safety and welfare and enhance the quality of life of all residents, workers and visitors to the Borough. This will be achieved by education, providing advice and by regulating the activities of others. Enforcement action will play an important role in helping the Council to secure compliance with regulatory requirements. The Council will work with other regulators, such as the Environment Agency and Central Government to ensure co-ordinated and cohesive regulation. The Council will seek to share good practise and local intelligence with appropriate enforcing bodies. The Council will also work with community and voluntary groups in order to achieve common goals. The Council views prosecution as a last resort and will seek to prevent rather than remediate. The Council will offer information, advice and education in order to secure co-operation, avoiding bureaucracy or excessive cost. The policy will set out what residents, businesses and the community can expect from Streetscene Enforcement Officers. It sets out the general principles, which the Council intends to follow when taking enforcement action. More detailed, operational guidance may be developed for staff in respect of specific functions. The policy commits the Council to good enforcement policies and practises. PURPOSE The purpose of enforcement action is to ensure that preventative or remedial action is taken to protect the public and the environment or to secure compliance with a regulatory system.

  • The Prospects Foundation Annual Report
    THE PROSPECTS FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT 2016 - 2017 FORWARD FROM THE CHAIRMAN MISSION AND THEMES Next year in December we will be celebrating the twentieth anniversary of the Foundation – although The PROSPECTS Foundation is Hyndburn’s community owned environmental charity and we are PROSPECTS as a whole has already passed that milestone. This means we are approaching the time to something of a unique and wonderful organisation. We were established in 1998 by local people and reflect on what we have all achieved together. But there is no time to sit back on our laurels - this year have lots of skills and environmental knowledge which we use and pass on when delivering projects we look forward to continuing the good work. around the Borough. We support a network of PROSPECTS Panels as well as schools and community groups to help them develop their own ideas to improve the environment. In the tumultuous and “interesting” political year we have just seen, the environment, as ever, has been pushed to the back seat. While President Trump rows back on US commitments to combatting climate We focus our work on 6 Themes of Sustainability, which means that our actions are not harmful to change our own Government has signalled its policy of reliance on fossil fuels by consenting fracking the environment, they take account of both local and global issues and positively contribute to the in Lancashire. Globally environmental indicators are not good – habitat loss, species extinction rates, reduction of climate change. Our 6 Themes are: ocean plastic, city air quality, loss of polar ice - you could get discouraged! BIODIVERSITY One interesting reflection though is that experience shows that giving up, just sitting back and expecting protecting and enhancing local wildlife and plant life “them” to come up with solutions is not going to get us very far.

  • Lancashire Behaviour Support Tool
    Lancashire Behaviour Support Tool Introduction Lancashire is committed to achieving excellent outcomes for its children and young people. Our aim for all our young people is for them to have the best possible start in life so that all have the opportunity to fulfill their learning potential. Schools and other settings should be safe and orderly places where all children and young people can learn and develop. The consequences of behaviour which challenges others can, if not addressed effectively, impact negatively on individual pupils and groups of pupils. The need for the Local Authority, schools and other partners to work together to address behavioural issues is essential if we are to promote high standards of achievement and attainment for all. The purpose of the Behaviour Support tool is to produce accessible, and accurate information for schools and settings in one place, on sources of training, support and advice led by Lancashire services and clear pathways in relation to meeting pupil's social, emotional and behavioural needs. Aims 1. To develop safe, calm and ordered school environments within which pupils are able to learn and develop and thrive. 2. To develop skills for emotional literacy, positive social relationships and emotional health and well-being among pupils to take into their adult lives beyond school. 3. To Improve capacity within our schools and other settings to include all our pupils including those children and young people who, at times, may present very challenging behaviour, as a result of a variety of factors originating both within the child or young person or resulting from their social environment.

  • Rishton, SS. Peter and Paul, Parish Profile
    The Parish of Rishton St Peter and St Paul PARISH PROFILE Welcome Welcome to our Parish Profile, through this document we hope to share with you as many aspects of our parish family life as possible. But words on a page can only convey so much, so please do arrange a visit to see us in person, a warm welcome awaits you. Our Facebook page is also a source to see more of our work. Rishton is a small town in the Borough of Hyndburn. The nearby towns of Blackburn, Accrington and Burnley, once home to a thriving weaving industry, are today places of business and commerce, as well as providing many shopping and leisure needs. 2 Equally nearby are the countryside towns of Whalley and Clitheroe and the Ribble Valley, an area of great natural beauty. Rishton was founded in the 19th century, unlike its nearby neighbours, not on weaving, but the production of linoleum and coal mining. The township steadily grew with St Peter and St Paul’s, then a daughter church to nearby Great Harwood, being consecrated in 1877. Still today, Rishton has a strong community feel, many referring to it as ‘the village’. Rishon people are proud of their town and their working class heritage. At the heart of our town is a small, but busy main street offering a variety of food and other essential shops. Housing is very mixed, from long streets of terraced housing to a number of housing estates with semi and detached dwellings. Some areas of the town are marked by poverty and deprivation whilst others are far more affluent.

  • Cotton and the Community: Exploring Changing Concepts of Identity and Community on Lancashire’S Cotton Frontier C.1890-1950
    Cotton and the Community: Exploring Changing Concepts of Identity and Community on Lancashire’s Cotton Frontier c.1890-1950 By Jack Southern A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment for the requirements for the degree of a PhD, at the University of Central Lancashire April 2016 1 i University of Central Lancashire STUDENT DECLARATION FORM I declare that whilst being registered as a candidate of the research degree, I have not been a registered candidate or enrolled student for another aware of the University or other academic or professional institution. I declare that no material contained in this thesis has been used for any other submission for an academic award and is solely my own work. Signature of Candidate ________________________________________________ Type of Award: Doctor of Philosophy School: Education and Social Sciences ii ABSTRACT This thesis explores the evolution of identity and community within north east Lancashire during a period when the area gained regional and national prominence through its involvement in the cotton industry. It examines how the overarching shared culture of the area could evolve under altering economic conditions, and how expressions of identity fluctuated through the cotton industry’s peak and decline. In effect, it explores how local populations could shape and be shaped by the cotton industry. By focusing on a compact area with diverse settlements, this thesis contributes to the wider understanding of what it was to live in an area dominated by a single industry. The complex legacy that the cotton industry’s decline has had is explored through a range of settlement types, from large town to small village.

  • Local Flood Risk Management Strategy 2021 to 2027 Accessible
    Consultaton Draf Local Flood Risk Management Strategy for Lancashire 2021 - 2027 Executve Summary In 2010 the Government introduced the Flood and Water Management Act to give new powers and responsibilites to local authorites to beter manage the risk of local fooding in their areas. Under this, County and Unitary Councils became ‘Lead Local Flood Authorites’ (LLFA). One of the new dutes of a LLFA is to produce a Local Flood Risk Management Strategy (LFRMS). This Strategy sets out how we intend to work with partners and our businesses and communites to manage the risk of fooding in the Lancashire up to 2027. It is of interest to all who live and work in Lancashire, as managing the risk of fooding requires acton by everyone, as well as to organisatons that have specifc responsibilites for managing food risk in the area such as the Environment Agency, Local Authorites and the Water and Sewerage Company. Since the devastatng fooding witnessed across Lancashire in December 2015 and other events since, it has been a priority to improve resilience to fooding as part of business planning. Considerable progress has already been made working with partners to secure funding for several large food alleviaton and coastal defence schemes, reducing risk to thousands of propertes. This Strategy sets the course for contnuing this momentum, identfying where resources and eforts are to be concentrated so we can confdently say as we are contnuing to improve our understanding of risk whilst delivering schemes and supportng our businesses and communites to beter protect and improve food resilience for the people of Lancashire.
