South Ribble Borough Council
ELECTORAL REVIEW OF SOUTH RIBBLE BOROUGH COUNCIL 1 Electoral Review of South Ribble Borough Council Introduction Each year, the Local Government Boundary Commission for England audits the levels of electoral imbalances arising in each English local authority area in order to establish whether there is a need for an electoral review. Imbalances can arise from changing demographics and new developments, and movement of electors between local authority areas, as well as within individual areas. There are two elements that the Commission takes into account when assessing the need for an electoral review. Both relate to the level of electoral representation within a local authority area. Electoral inequality exists when voters are either over-represented or under-represented by their local councillor(s) in relation to average levels of representation for the authority as a whole. Under the criteria adopted by the Commission, if either of the following conditions is found to exist, then consideration is given to the need for a review: • Any local authority with a division or ward that has an electoral variance in excess of 30%. This means a division or ward having at least 30% more (or less) electors in it than the average for the authority as a whole; and/or • Any local authority where more than 30% of the divisions or wards have an electoral variance in excess of 10% from the average for that authority. On the basis of the latest data available, our authority appears to meet the selection criteria, with 9 of our 27 wards (33%) having an electoral variance in excess of 10%. -
5. Network Planning for Walking
Central Lancashire Walking and Cycling Delivery Plan 5. Network Planning for Walking The future walking network has been derived through identifying those areas which would benefit from creating a sustainable link between trip origins and trip destinations within a reasonable walking distance of approximately 2km. Trip origins predominantly include densely populated residential areas and trip destinations include educational, employment and retail areas which are likely to attract a significant number of trips. As part of this process, funnel routes have been identified which incorporate the route which most pedestrians will follow to access a particular destination, however given the diverse nature of pedestrian movements, the routes do not extend into particular destinations since the route of each individual user will vary depending on their individual trip origin/end. In alignment with LCWIP guidance, Core Walking Zones have also been identified from identifying the area within each town which encompasses the greatest amount of trip attractors and therefore likely the generate the greatest levels of walking. The Four Core Walking Zones (CWZ) identified are: • Preston CWZ; • Lostock Hall CWZ; • Leyland CWZ; and • Chorley CWZ. 41 Central Lancashire Walking and Cycling Delivery Plan 5.1 Proposed Walking Routes 5.1.1 Preston Core Walking Zone Figure 5-1 Preston CWZ / Funnel Routes The Preston CWZ proposals will improve facilities for both pedestrians and cyclists alike, making it safer and easier to access Preston inner city centre, UCLAN, Cardinal Newman College, and transport hubs such as Preston Railway and Bus Stations. Measures predominantly involve pedestrian priority / informal streets, to improve the safety and accessibility of the town centre for pedestrians. -

A Walk Around St. Leonard's Parish Boundary, Penwortham
A Walk around St. Leonard’s Parish Boundary, Penwortham. Background. Penwortham is one of the ancient parishes of Lancashire. Until the 17th century it comprised of the townships of Longton, Howick, Penwortham, Farington and Hutton. In the early medieval period it also comprised of Brindle. The earliest written record of a church at Penwortham dates from the 1140’s. Map courtesy of Alan Crosby from his book “Penwortham in the past” Middleforth the township (which acquired it’s name from the middle ford on the River Ribble) was gradually growing in the early first part of the 19th century and the Vicar of St. Mary’s Rev. W.E. Rawstorne decided that the time was right to build a chapel school. Middleforth Chapel School opened in 1861 in the village, situated on the corner of Leyland Road and Marshall’s Brow. In 1901 a prefabricated iron church was built next to the school. This was in use until the present church was opened in 1970. As St. Leonard’s Church in Middleforth grew further, it was soon able to manage its own affairs and in 1959 became a conventional district but still in the Parish of St. Mary, Penwortham. Further growth took place with Penwortham becoming part of the Central Lancashire New Town. It was therefore decided that St. Leonard’s could stand alone from St. Mary’s and a new benefice of the Parish of St. Leonard, Penwortham was established on 1 April 1972 by an Order in Council dated 1 March 1972. The area concerned was taken out of the ancient parish of St. -

Appendix B Options Assessment Report Part2
Options Assessment Report Figure 2-13 and Figure 2-14 show that, even without the 5,000+ dwellings proposed for North West Preston, the situation has deteriorated from 2014 with longer delays present in 2034. Delay increases on the approaches to all the junctions on the M55 and M6 and in the morning peak period delay also increases on the motorway exit slips in 2034. Delay also increases on the arterial roads into and out of Preston, including the A6, Lightfoot Lane and Eastway, Tom Benson Way, the A583, A5085, A59 and A582. Several increases in delay on the A6, A583 and A582 are greater than 30 seconds; each of which is in addition to the existing delay on previous plots. Pinch points at the Ribble bridges on the A6 and A59 along with the A583 south of Kirkham are all forecast to experience further increases in delays in the morning and evening peak periods. The reductions in delay through Broughton and on local roads in Lostock (near Bamber Bridge) are due to the inclusion of Broughton Bypass and the A582 dualling respectively, onto which traffic transfers. These schemes are present in the future but are not in the base year. Even without the impact of growth from large scale developments, Preston is further congested. Given that these arterial road corridors and strategic road network access points are all under pressure in 2014, the worsening scenario to 2034 means that the additional growth will be unsustainable without a significant transport intervention. The figures below show the potential impact of the North West Preston housing development in 2034 (without intervention). -

To 3 Miles SW from Preston, in the Parliamentary Division of Blackpool
:trtJ'f'tO N. 607 • HUTTON . THIS is a township of dispersed dwellings from 2~ to 3 miles S.W. from Preston, in the parliamentary division of Blackpool, the County Council divisoin of Walton-le-Dale, and in the Union of Preston. It contains 2, 745 statute acres. Rateable value of the township, £6,686. The Parish Council comprises five members. HuTTON GRAMMAR ScuooL which is situated· in this township) was founded 6th Edward VI., by Christopher Walton, of Little Hoole; but in 2nd Elizabeth John vValton, the testator's son, left property to the foundation of the yearly value of £2 12s. Od., and so great has been the increased value of land, that when the Charity Commissioners- issued their report in 1846, its annual value was £850, and .oit has since advanced to upwards of £1,200 per annum, but this has been seriously diminished by expenditure out of capital upon building several elementary schools in the ancient Parish of Penwortham. In 1876 a new scheme for the administration of the school was made by the Charity Commissioners, but it was not carried into effect until1878. Bv it the character of the school has been entirely changed, as no boys are now free, and provision is made for -boarders, who form the majority oi pupils. With a view to this, the Governors spent -a considerable sum of money in altering the buildings so as to adapt them for the purpose, a new wing being added, containing a large dining hall, dormitories for 50 boys, bath-rooms, &c. ; also, in 1885, a large room, 65 feet long and 20 feet wide, was erected to serve the double purpose of a gymnasium and drill hall. -
