The PRA was undertaken in support of a planning application (reference number 2013/0137) to redevelop the site for residential end use. According to guidance set out in CLR111, GPLC1-32 and the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) 3 a PRA with a site reconnaissance is required as a minimum to ascertain if there is a potential contamination risk. In accordance with current guidance the PRA report will include a site reconnaissance, site history, geology, hydrogeology, hydrology and a landfill search (within 250m of the site boundary). Information gathered from the desk study and site reconnaissance will be used to develop a contamination conceptual model for the site, which will support the identification and assessment of any pollutant linkages. Based on the findings of the PRA an appropriate site investigation can be derived, if required. 1.2 Site Details A summary of site settings is presented in Table 1-1. Figures 1 and 2 indicate the site location and boundary. Figure 3 indicates the proposed development. Location Immediately south of Newchurch Road and immediately east of Baldwin Street, in Stacksteads near Bacup. National Grid Reference 384870E 421700N. Area 900m2.

  • Patient Participation Group Newsletter
    Summer 2019 Edition Patient Participation Group Newsletter Your Practice (Waterfoot Medical Practice) We’re changing our name! With new GP partners coming on board at the practice we have decided it’s time for a name change. In consultation with our Patient Participation Group we decided not to stray too far from our current name of Waterfoot Group of Doctors and are opting for Waterfoot Medical Practice. Waterfoot Wildflower Meadow You may have noticed the grass around Waterfoot Medical Practice is being left to grow this summer. This is to encourage the wild flowers to grow for the benefit of the local wildlife, our patients and our staff. We will be managing this area with a yearly cut in early September. The cut grass will then be seeded with a plant called Yellow Rattle and we expect a flower filled meadow to develop over the next few years. If you would like any further information, or you would like to help with the development of the meadow, please get in touch with us at the surgery. Keeping Active Over the summer months our Doctors have been busy taking part in physical challenges, and all for a good cause. On 23rd June Dr Narayan took part in the Big NHS Walk where NHS Trust staff and the local community walked 12 miles whilst raising as much money as possible for our local hospitals. Dr Hinchliffe took on the Race for Life Pretty Muddy on 13th July to raise money for cancer research. This involved racing her way through 5km of muddy obstacles.

  • Bacup and Rawtenstall Grammar School Admission Policy
    Reviewed: November 2020 Review period: Annual Bacup and Rawtenstall Grammar School Admission Policy ADMISSIONS POLICY Last reviewed: November 2020, for admission to school in September 2022. As an academy, the Academy Trust of Bacup & Rawtenstall Grammar School (BRGS) is the Admissions Authority. This admissions policy adheres to the requirements and guidelines of the Schools Admissions Code (2014). Our published admission number (PAN) is 180. As a designated Grammar School we are able to select our entire intake on the basis of high academic ability. As such, we do not have to fill all of our places if applicants have not reached the required standard within our selection procedure. The selection procedure is the entrance examination, held on site at the school. Passing the entrance examination is not a guarantee of a place due to the application of our over subscription criteria. Any pupil in his or her last year of primary school and who will have reached the age of 11 years (but not 12 years) by the 31st of August in the year of entry, is eligible to sit. Where a child does not meet these age criteria but there is a request for admission out of the normal age group parents should contact school directly to discuss the particular circumstances (School Admissions Code 2014, section 2.17). The structure of the entrance examination will be published in our entrance examination guide to parents (“The Blue Book”) by the beginning of the summer term each year. The admissions authority determines that Bacup and Rawtenstall Grammar School is established primarily for the education of children attending Rossendale schools.

  • English Folk Traditions and Changing Perceptions About Black People in England
    Trish Bater 080207052 ‘Blacking Up’: English Folk Traditions and Changing Perceptions about Black People in England Submitted for the degree of Master of Philosophy by Patricia Bater National Centre for English Cultural Tradition March 2013 This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution- NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported License. To view a copy of this license, visit http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ or send a letter to Creative Commons, 444 Castro Street, Suite 900, Mountain View, California, 94041, USA. Trish Bater 080207052 2 Abstract This thesis investigates the custom of white people blacking their faces and its continuation at a time when society is increasingly aware of accusations of racism. To provide a context, an overview of the long history of black people in England is offered, and issues about black stereotypes, including how ‘blackness’ has been perceived and represented, are considered. The historical use of blackface in England in various situations, including entertainment, social disorder, and tradition, is described in some detail. It is found that nowadays the practice has largely been rejected, but continues in folk activities, notably in some dance styles and in the performance of traditional (folk) drama. Research conducted through participant observation, interview, case study, and examination of web-based resources, drawing on my long familiarity with the folk world, found that participants overwhelmingly believe that blackface is a part of the tradition they are following and is connected to its past use as a disguise. However, although all are aware of the sensitivity of the subject, some performers are fiercely defensive of blackface, while others now question its application and amend their ‘disguise’ in different ways.

  • Stubbylee Hall
    Stubbylee Hall Situated just off New Line, Bacup, Stubbylee was the home of the Holt family built around 1808. The Holt estate originally covered the all the South side of the River Irwell from Cowpe across Brandwood Moor to Shawforth and then Sharneyford. John Holt was the only child of James Holt and his second wife Ann daughter of John Heyworth of Greensnook. John married Judith Maden daughter of James Maden of Greens, on 25th June 1828. John became the second Magistrate of Bacup in 1838 and was one of the Poor Law Guardians. As such he became a target for the hand loom weavers anger in 1843, on a dark February night a friend approaching Stubbylee through the extensive grounds and thick shrubberies surrounding the house was shot at. The would be assassin was never found even though the Chief Constable of Preston offered a reward of £200 for information leading to the arrest. Judith was suffering from influenza at the time and it is thought the shock of this incident helped to shorten her life and she died in March 1843. Followed six months later by Julia , Judith and Johns eldest daughter who died of Typhoid at the age of twelve. John died in 26 December 1856, leaving two children James Maden Holt born in 1829 and Emily Sarah Holt born in 1836. James Maden Holt became a J.P in April of 1858 and became the first Bacup-born local MP when the North East Lancashire constituency was formed. His wife Anna whom he married in 1870 was the daughter of the Rev James Haworth of Penistone, Yorkshire.
