    WW GUIDE THE PEAK FOREST AND ASHTON CANALS You begin in urban Manchester – and 21 miles later, you’re in a historic basin in the glorious Peak District, moored up beside a real pub. Richard Fairhurst savours a fine canal journey The Ashton Canal FOR MANY YEARS, THE ASHTON CANAL was synonymous with all that was wrong with urban waterways. The 1896 Oarsman’s Guide was uncompromising: “Its course is entirely through a manufacturing district with the usual unpleasant surroundings. The vapour rising from its waters caused by the factories on the banks, condensing their exhaust Bugsworth steam therein, is sometimes so thick as Basin. to make it diffi cult to see one’s way.” Downloaded by David A Calverley from waterwaysworld.com June 2012 Waterways World 71 WW GUIDE 1 1 Ancoats Lock 1 – By the 1960s, its star had sunk lower note the duplicated still. Though never formally closed, it was chamber. totally unnavigable: its channel dry, its lock-gates rotten or swinging loose. Local councillors and anxious parents demanded its infi lling. Its branches to Stockport and Hollinwood were abandoned, and the main line, like so many industrial urban waterways, looked set to go the same way. What saved it was an idea fi rst hatched in 1965: the Cheshire Ring. Adventurous holidaymakers were beginning to discover the canal system, and circular routes were perfect for a week’s holiday. The Ashton and adjacent canals would provide the ‘missing link’ in one such route. Volunteers from the Peak Forest Canal Society, the Inland Waterways Association, and (latterly) the new Waterway Recovery 2 Group set about bringing the canal back to life.

  • LFRMS Consultation Report Appendices
    Appendix A DRAFT LOCAL FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGY DOCUMENT LOCAL FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGY FOR STOCKPORT February 2016 Foreword by Executive Member It is with great pleasure that we can present to the public the progress we have made and the improvements that we plan to undertake to re-establish Stockport Council as the Lead Local Flood Authority for the Stockport area. We have made great progress in a short period of time and this Strategy endorses that. I certainly accept the new duties and responsibilities the Council has to help our community and look forward to developing a closer relationship with residents and other multi-disciplined agencies with an interest in water and its impact on the built environment and natural environment. I welcome and applaud the support the Council has from its partners in risk management. The beauty, amenity and critical resource of water should certainly be appreciated but also acknowledged that the power of nature can deliver adverse effects that can have a huge impact on us all and for many years. The reality of major flood events in Stockport is relatively small in comparison to other areas, but some risk will remain in areas with large urbanisation and buried waterways. Flood risk management requires the support of all key stakeholders including local residents, organisations and businesses as we all have responsibilities. If we work together then the potential impacts of floods in Stockport can be minimised. 2 Table of contents Chapter Pages Executive Summary 4 1. Introduction 7 1.1. Background 7 1.2.

What other town in the region has more to offer than Marple? We cannot think of one that can boast two railway stations, its own theatre, a cinema, swimming pool, bustling pubs, café bars and restaurants (and even two brass bands). Add to that its countryside setting (5,000 of Marple’s 7,000 acres are in the Green Belt), the network of picturesque canals and its huge variety of independent shops and we believe we have something special to shout about.” However, the Marple Civic Society and many other local stakeholders and members of the community believe that Marple could and should be improved even further. Many places of interest in Marple are under-exploited and need developing for tourism, recreation and community purposes. The town was very much shaped by 18th century entrepreneurs Samuel Oldknow and Richard Arkwright. During this time Oldknow changed the face of Marple beyond all recognition, being the chief architect and driving force in the development and industrialisation of the area.

  • Appendix a - Evidence Base Mapping
    CHESHIRE EAST GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN Appendix A - Evidence Base Mapping OCTOBER 2019 Prepared by The Environment Partnership for Cheshire East Council Appendix A - GI Priority Areas: Evidence Base and Mapping Aims This appendix has two aims: 1. To describe the method for selecting priority areas for GI investment in Cheshire East; 2. To illustrate where the various priority areas are and provide the evidence underpinning their selection. Method for Identifying GI Priority Areas – Overview GI priority areas are identified on the basis of “public benefit” i.e. where the greatest social, economic and/or environmental benefit can be secured through policy and funding intervention. As GI is inherently multifunctional, evidence must be drawn from a wide range of data sources; using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to spatially analyse and map assets and areas of need. GIS analysis is an aid to strategic planning and investment; the insight that it provides should always be tested and weighed against local knowledge, community needs and values. Four Strategic themes The need for a planned, strategic approach to GI intervention is driven by policy requirements and local characteristics and obligations. It is important that these key drivers are understood, so that recommendations can account for and respond to the particular needs present in Cheshire East. Cheshire East’s Local Plan (2017) has four strategic themes which underpin the analysis for GI planning: Economy Life chances and choices Environment Connectivity and movement While it is important to understand the key drivers, it should also be recognised that GI can extend across one or more of the four strategic themes.
