Let us hope that the new vaccines which are now available will help to prevent the spread of the virus and soon enable a return to some kind of normality again. Let us also hope that the church will be allowed to remain open for Mass. It’s wonderful to be able to welcome parishioners to Mass regularly as well as to have many others join on the live stream. I know that many people have found comfort in their faith during the past difficult months and being able to come to Mass has been a big factor in this. Let us ask God’s blessing on our parish community in the week ahead.

  • Bredbury – South Manchester Underground Cable
    Bredbury – South Manchester underground cable Frequently Asked Questions – August 2020 Who is National Grid? National Grid Electricity Transmission plc owns and maintains the electricity transmission network in England and Wales. Electricity is carried from power stations through a network of high voltage overhead lines and underground cables owned and operated by National Grid. At substations the voltage is stepped down and local electricity distribution companies like Electricity North West take over and supply it to homes, schools, offices, factories and other premises. What work are you doing? We need to replace the existing underground electricity cable which connects the pylons at the Trans Pennine Trail, behind Powerleague, and at Penny Lane, off Lancashire Hill. Why are you doing this work? The existing cable is nearly 60 years old. We’ve maintained and repaired it for as long as possible, but this is no longer efficient. To keep the network in first-class working order and help meet future electricity demands, we must now replace it. The work represents a substantial investment in the region’s power network and will help keep everyone supplied with power at the flick of a switch. Have residents been informed of the work? We’ve written to residents across the area on a number of occasions. In 2019 we let them know about our survey work. We started to install the ducting for the replacement cable in November 2019, which we’ve now completed. We’re writing to residents to let them know about what we’re doing next in their immediate area as we start work to pull the cable through the ducts.

The counter- proposal allocates seven whole constituencies to the boroughs of Stockport, Tameside and Oldham, nine whole constituencies to the boroughs of Man- chester, Salford and Trafford, and twenty-four whole constituencies to the rest of the region. No comment is made on the Boundary Commission’s proposals for the rest of the North West region or for any other region.

  • Greater Manchester Green Belt: Additional Assessment of Sites Outside of the Green Belt
    Greater Manchester Green Belt: Additional Assessment of Sites Outside of the Green Belt Study Background In 2016, LUC was commissioned on behalf of the ten Greater Manchester Authorities by Manchester City Council to undertake an assessment of the Green Belt within Greater Manchester. The study provided an objective, evidence-based and independent assessment of how Manchester’s Green Belt contributes to the five purposes of Green Belt, as set out in paragraph 80 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) (see Box 1 below). The original assessment also examined the performance of 58 potential additional areas of land that currently lie outside the Green Belt. Box 1: The purposes of Green Belt 1. To check the unrestricted sprawl of large built-up areas. 2. To prevent neighbouring towns merging into one another. 3. To assist in safeguarding the countryside from encroachment. 4. To preserve the setting and special character of historic towns. 5. To assist in urban regeneration, by encouraging the recycling of derelict and other urban land. In 2018, LUC were commissioned to undertake an assessment of 32 additional areas of land that do not lie within the Manchester Green Belt, to assess how they perform against the NPPF Green Belt purposes. The additional areas were identified by the authorities of Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport and Wigan. The assessment was undertaken using the same assessment methodology used for the 2016 study which is detailed in Chapter 3 of the Greater Manchester Green Belt Assessment (July 2016). This methodology is not repeated here but as per the original study it involved both a desked based assessment and field visits to all of the areas of land.
