7 Masterplan Stoneygate Regeneration Framework Masterplan
7 Masterplan Stoneygate Regeneration Framework Masterplan 27 7.0 Masterplan Stoneygate Regeneration Framework Masterplan Introduction • The housing and Cardinal Newman College area south of Queen Street along Manchester Road; and 7.1 The Vision for Stoneygate is underpinned by an illustrative masterplan, a • The Percy Street area, north of Church Street Framework Masterplan and a series of design principles. These are considered in this and the following sections. These principles are then drawn together in section 9 for a number of the key areas and projects in the form illustrative proposals and associated design guidance. Regeneration Framework Masterplan 7.2 The Framework Masterplan defines a number of key linking regeneration Figure 10: Framework Masterplan corridors and a series of distinct, yet related, development areas. The Framework articulates the role of these corridors and development areas and the way in which together they will capitalise on the opportunities to deliver comprehensive urban renewal. The Framework Masterplan is illustrated in Figure 10. 7.3 The Framework comprises the following regeneration corridors which in most C cases also act as the interfaces between the principal development areas: 3 • Church Street - as it links eastwards from Preston city centre to London Road. Church Street acts as the thread binding the Horrocks Quarter into the historic core of Stoneygate and into the city centre. • Manchester Road (including Church Row) - a key north-south link between Cardinal Newman College and the residential communities around Queen Street to the city centre and the Bus Station, a key focus 2 for public transport. • Queen Street – as it leads from London Road through to Avenham and, via Cross Street, to the historic Winckley Square. -
Social and Cultural Functions of the Local Press in Preston, Lancashire, 1855-1900
Reading the local paper: Social and cultural functions of the local press in Preston, Lancashire, 1855-1900 by Andrew Hobbs A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Central Lancashire November 2010 ABSTRACT This thesis demonstrates that the most popular periodical genre of the second half of the nineteenth century was the provincial newspaper. Using evidence from news rooms, libraries, the trade press and oral history, it argues that the majority of readers (particularly working-class readers) preferred the local press, because of its faster delivery of news, and because of its local and localised content. Building on the work of Law and Potter, the thesis treats the provincial press as a national network and a national system, a structure which enabled it to offer a more effective news distribution service than metropolitan papers. Taking the town of Preston, Lancashire, as a case study, this thesis provides some background to the most popular local publications of the period, and uses the diaries of Preston journalist Anthony Hewitson as a case study of the career of a local reporter, editor and proprietor. Three examples of how the local press consciously promoted local identity are discussed: Hewitson’s remoulding of the Preston Chronicle, the same paper’s changing treatment of Lancashire dialect, and coverage of professional football. These case studies demonstrate some of the local press content that could not practically be provided by metropolitan publications. The ‘reading world’ of this provincial town is reconstructed, to reveal the historical circumstances in which newspapers and the local paper in particular were read. -

Newsletter April 09.Pub
Spring 2009 At the end of March Wayne Marland retired, and although we all wish him well, it was an event which was greeted with much sadness by everyone who worked with him. Wayne has worked for Lancashire for 23 years, coming to the advisory service from Edge Hill, where he lectured in Education for 8 years, after working as a teacher in Manchester. He has always been a staunch advocate for race equality, bringing to the debate a profound knowledge and understanding of the issues that made him the Race Equality touchstone for teachers, advisers and partners alike, and the lynchpin for policy and practice in Lancashire. Always suspicious of fashions and trends in education, Wayne's grasp of the historical, social, psychological and educational contexts for racism and inequality has allowed him to develop and support strategies and initiatives that affect real change, often ahead of national policy. Anyone who has been lucky enough to hear him speak at conferences and courses will know that he can be inspirational, challenging assumptions and attitudes and cutting through to the core purpose of education for a just society. His knowledge, commitment, passion and integrity will be greatly missed as will his sense of humour and his mischievous tendency to subversion. It has been a pleasure and a privilege to work with him and we wish him a long and happy retirement. Guided Talk what is it and why should we do it? Children learning English as an additional language need opportunities to hear language modelled and to have opportunities to rehearse language across the different curriculum areas before they are asked to write. -

9 Key Areas and Projects: Illustrative Design Guidance Stoneygate Regeneration Framework Masterplan 45 9.0 Key Areas and Projects: Illustrative Design Guidance Stoneygate Regeneration Framework Masterplan Horrocks Quarter - a key development opportunity Church Row - a key link Introduction Figure 20: Public Realm Illustrative Design Guidance Queens Retail Park 9.1 This section of the Framework Masterplan report provides further illustrative design guidance on the regeneration areas of Stoneygate, Horrocks Quarter/Grimshaw Street and Percy Street/Church Street. Some key principles for considering the regeneration of Queen Street and Cardinal Newman College in the future are also presented. 9.2 This further design guidance considers in more detail how the design principles of massing, views, new routes, spaces, active frontages and buildings of townscape value can be applied to these specific areas and projects. Further details, including potential Cardinal Newman site capacities, are included in the area profiles appended to this College report (refer to Appendix 5). These are provided for each area other than for Queen Street / Cardinal Newman College where the regeneration strategy and potential remains to be defined. 9.3 It is acknowledged there will need to be a degree of flexibility in developing and considering detailed design proposals as new information and site constraints emerge. However the core principles outlined in this Framework Masterplan should be the starting point for developing proposals and should provide the benchmark -

Equality Impact Assessment
Equality Impact Assessment Introduction An Equality Impact Assessment (EIA) is required to ensure that equality is placed at the centre of policy development and review, as well as service delivery. The purpose of this EIA is to systematically analyse the likely impact of a service, policy or proposals on different community groups, and how the needs of such groups have been taken into account in developing those proposals. The EIA can anticipate and recommend ways to avoid any discriminatory or negative consequences for a particular group, on the grounds of any protected characteristic. It provides the opportunity to demonstrate the potential benefits for equality target groups arising from a proposed policy or project. The need for an EIA stems from the general duty placed on public authorities to eliminate unlawful discrimination in carrying out functions, and promote equality of opportunity. This is outlined in the Equality Act 2010, with specific public sector duties in place from April 2011. 1. Name of Policy or Service (existing or proposed) Parks & Open Spaces 2. Responsible Manager Andrew Richardson 3. Date EIA completed Review date 20/05/2012 20/05/2013 4. Description and aims of policy / service (including relevance to equalities) The provision of high quality parks and public open spaces including playgrounds throughout the borough. To provide information and education through events and activities and encouraging the use of open space by others for organised events increasing the use of the facilities. 5. Who are the stakeholders? All residents of South Ribble, elected members and council employees. 1 6. What outcomes do we want to achieve? To provide high quality parks and open spaces accessible to all abilities. -
