Neighbourhood Development Plan 2012 to 2030 Formby & Little Altcar Neighbourhood Development Plan 2012 to 2030 FOREWORD Formby is a great town with a unique heritage and a dynamic future. Investment and change in the years ahead will only be worthwhile if it makes a real difference to the lives of local people and the future of its community. 1 The Formby and Little Altcar Neighbourhood Development Plan, [The Plan] being written jointly by the Parish Councils of Formby and Little Altcar, started back in September 2013. The Parish Councils wanted the people of Formby and Little Altcar to have a say in all aspects of the future of the town; addressing the issues surrounding housing, infrastructure, health and wellbeing, the environment, and include natural/heritage assets. However, most importantly, it wanted local people to decide what they wanted in their community. The Plan sets out a vision for the area that reflects the thoughts and feelings of local people with a real interest in their community. It sets objectives on key themes such as moving around, housing, employment, green space and community facilities and builds on current and planned activity. The Parish Councils are committed to developing and strengthening contacts with the groups that have evolved because of the Neighbourhood Planning process. We believe that by working together to implement the Plan it will make Formby an even better place to live, work and enjoy. We have had to ensure that our Neighbourhood Plan is consistent, where appropriate, with the emerging Sefton Local Plan 2, the 2012 National Planning Policy Framework, subsequent updates, and guidance notes. Following scrutiny by an examiner and once approved by the community in a referendum, the Plan becomes a legal document and is accepted by Sefton MBC to become part of the development plan for Formby and Little Altcar. The plan will direct future development in Formby and Little Altcar to meet the changing needs of the community over the next 15 years or so. It indicates where and when development should take place, and what additional community facilities we will require because of it. We believe that the Plan addresses all of the key issues facing Formby and Little Altcar in successfully completing this phase of growth in the town’s long history. It also ensures that new housing development is contained within a sensible development boundary. The plan provides for homes suited to those in later life, growing families, those seeking low cost starter homes and ensures that sufficient accessible public open green space and parks are allocated within new developments. There is a provision to review the plan every five years so that we can reflect changing needs over time. My heartfelt thanks go to all those who have worked so hard to bring this plan together and to the whole community for the positive response you have shown. Cllr Maria Bennett Chair of Formby and Little Altcar Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group 1 Producing this Plan has been extremely difficult taking into account the various constraints on the land and concerns of local people. Unfortunately, the planning system, in its current form, is unable to take an holistic approach when addressing flooding and flood risk to the community. As this plan has not allocated any land but works with land already allocated via the emerging Sefton Local Plan, we reserve our right to object to any application that does not demonstrate that it has fully addressed the flooding issues. The evidence base and flood management section of this Plan demonstrates beyond any doubt that the community is determined to do something meaningful with regards to addressing the very real ongoing risk of flooding in Formby. 2 It should be noted that any land allocated in the emerging Sefton Local Plan be removed from the emerging Sefton Local Plan, then this land will also be removed from the Neighbourhood Plan and will not be supported for development, likewise if any additional land is included then this will have to be included in the neighbourhood development plan. 1 2 CONTENTS SECTION

  • Maghull High School Joining the Southport Learning Trust – DFE Case Study (February 2021) All To: Aspire, Achieve, Enjoy
    Maghull High School Joining The Southport Learning Trust – DFE Case Study (February 2021) All to: Aspire, Achieve, Enjoy Introduction Maghull High School is an oversubscribed average sized 11-18 comprehensive school with over 950 students on roll. The large majority of students are White British, with very small numbers of European, African, Asian and mixed heritage students. The school site is in Maghull; however, the school draws students from a wide and socio-economically highly diverse catchment from over 40 primary schools. Over 480 students live outside Sefton in four other local authorities, mainly in North Liverpool and Knowsley. A high proportion of students travel to school by public transport. 6% of the school population live within a 1-mile radius of the school. Attainment at entry is in line with national average. The percentage of disadvantaged students is slightly above the figure for other schools nationally. Retention in sixth form is positive, the majority of Year 11 students progress into our sixth form. Challenges of being a Single Academy Trust (SAT) Being a single academy trust can present a number of challenges. Sometimes you can feel quite isolated and vulnerable as a SAT; particularly SAT that ‘Requires Improvement’. The development, challenge and improvement in some areas of leadership and student outcomes can lack pace and rigour. SATs can lack critical friends and support and it can be difficult and expensive to source reliable and appropriate external support and expertise for key priority development areas. It can also be difficult to attract and recruit in subject shortage areas. As a SAT you have reduced bargaining and purchasing power and is difficult to achieve economies of scale.

  • St Faith`S Church, Great Crosby Confirmation Registers 1901 – 2000
    1 St Faith`s Church, Great Crosby Confirmation Registers 1901 – 2000 There are two volumes covering the church`s first century, volume 1 covering the period 1901 to 1958 and volume 2 the period 1959 to 2000; volume 2 is not yet full. The registers have entries for a particular confirmation event detailing the names, ages and addresses of those being confirmed (the addresses are not always included for the most recent confirmation candidates). The location of the confirmation service, its date and the Bishop confirming the candidates are given. A number of early male candidates for confirmation came from Merchant Taylors` School which then took boarding pupils. The first volume, for some individuals, mentions when they moved from the district, joined the forces or joined the merchant navy. During the first decade some adults were confirmed privately at the Bishop`s Palace in Liverpool. Services for adults were often held during the latter part of the year and the main confirmation service during March or April. Candidates before WWII would often travel some distance for a confirmation service, in some cases as far as Wigan, Warrington and Rock Ferry. Although most confirmations were conducted by the Bishop of Liverpool or the Bishop of Warrington there have been times when other bishops have conducted the confirmations. Most notable was Lord Runcie of Cuddesdon but in March 1945 the Bishop of the Argentine presided. An interesting feature of the period up to about 1930 is the number of parents who were confirmed shortly before their children were confirmed. In these transcripts some early confirmations are show as having taken place at the Cathedral.

  • Walking and Cycling Guide to Sefton’S Natural Coast
    Walking and Cycling Guide to Sefton’s Natural Coast www.seftonsnaturalcoast.com Altcar Dunes introduction This FREE guide has been published to encourage you to get out and about in Southport and Sefton. It has been compiled to help you to discover Sefton’s fascinating history and wonderful flora and fauna. Walking or cycling through Sefton will also help to improve your health and fitness. With its wide range of accommodation to suit all budgets, Southport makes a very convenient base. So make the most of your visit; stay over one or two nights and take in some of the easy, family-friendly walks, detailed in this guide. Why not ‘warm-up’ by walking along Lord Street with its shops and cafés and then head for the promenade and gardens alongside the Marine Lake. Or take in the sea air with a stroll along the boardwalk of Southport Pier before walking along the sea wall of Marine Drive to the Queen’s Jubilee Nature Trail or the new Eco Centre nearby. All the trails and walks are clearly signposted and suitable for all ages and abilities. However, as with all outdoor activities, please take sensible precautions against our unpredictable weather and pack waterproof clothing and wear suitable shoes. Don’t forget your sun cream during the Summer months. If cycling, make sure that your bike is properly maintained and wear a protective helmet at all times. It's also a good idea to include some food and drink in a small day-pack, as although re-fuelling stops are suggested on the listed routes, there is no guarantee that they will be open when you need them.
