What Future Do We Want for Cheshire's Sandstone Ridge? 12 SEPTEMBER 2017 WHAT FUTURE DO WE WANT FOR CHESHIRE’S SANDSTONE RIDGE? NOTES OF A WORKSHOP FOR TOWN AND PARISH COUNCILS THE SANDSTONE RIDGE TRUST, SUPPORTED BY THE CHESHIRE ASSOCIATION OF LOCAL COUNCILS What future do we want for Cheshire’s Sandstone Ridge? NOTES OF A WORKSHOP FOR THE TOWN AND PARISH COUNCILS OF CHESHIRE’S SANDSTONE RIDGE HELD IN TARPORLEY COMMUNITY CENTRE, TUESDAY 12TH SEPTEMBER 2017, 6.30 – 8.30 PM Introduction The Sandstone RidGe Trust is findinG out what people think about Cheshire's Sandstone RidGe and how best to shape the future of this special place as part of a two year Heritage Lottery funded Transition Project (2017-18). Views and opinions are beinG collected throuGh: • 121 interviews with key orGanisations and stakeholders • A survey of visitors to popular destinations alonG the Sandstone RidGe • A Community Consultation in the form of an online questionnaire. The Sandstone RidGe (National Character Area 62: Cheshire Sandstone RidGe) encompasses 51 parishes (either wholly or partly), administered by 39 Town and Parish Councils/MeetinGs (some councils cover more than one parish). Through their duties, powers and role as a voice for local people, Town and Parish Councils/MeetinGs are key to shapinG the future of the Sandstone RidGe and ensurinG that the area continues to be enjoyed by present and future Generation and provide multiple environmental, social and economic benefits. As part of the Community Consultation a dedicated workshop was held for Town and Parish Councils on Tuesday 12 September 2017, orGanised with the support of the Cheshire Association of Local Councils (ChALC). ChALC represents and promotes the interest of local councils in Cheshire throuGh support, information and traininG. 2 Process and format Email invitations were sent by ChALC to all of the 39 Town and Parish Councils/MeetinGs that are located wholly or partly within the Sandstone RidGe project area. This was followed up by phone calls to parish clerks. In total, 11 attendees from 9 parish councils attended the workshop (Appendix 1). The 2-hour workshop followed a session plan (Appendix 2). FollowinG a welcome from Stuart Hulse, Chairman of the Cheshire Association of Local Councils, Andrew Hull, Chairman of The Sandstone RidGe Trust introduced the Trust’s work and aspirations for the Sandstone RidGe. A short quiz followed, challenGinG attendees about what they knew about the Sandstone RidGe (Appendix 3). This was followed by 3 short, interactive discussions facilitated by Sandstone RidGe Trust Trustees with attendees divided into 4 tables to enable them to provide their views on: 1. How does your parish interact with the Sandstone Ridge? 2. What challenGes does the Sandstone RidGe Generate and what local benefits are there? 3. How miGht we work toGether to look after the Sandstone RidGe? Key points from each table were then fed back to all attendees in a plenary session, allowinG an opportunity for further General discussion. The session closed with final remarks from Andrew Hull and what happens next, includinG a “Call to action” suGGestinG what local councils can do to help protect and conserve the Sandstone RidGe (Appendix 4). 3 Key points The narrative below summarises the key points to emerGe from the workshop. Topic 1. How does your parish interact with the Sandstone Ridge? Attendees identified the followinG ways in which their parishes interact with the RidGe: • The Sandstone Trail Goes throuGh several parishes – it is the necklace that links toGether the RidGe • PlanninG impact – visual aspects need consideration • The RidGe is a rural area that brinGs in tourists • The RidGe provides business opportunities for tourism, for example, bed and breakfast • Parishes have been involved in previous works to hillforts (throuGh Habitats and Hillforts). • Some parishes are already actively involved with the Sandstone RidGe Trust • Parishes have community assets, such as village halls that are linked to the local area and central to their villages, and could be used more • Parishes, for example, Peckforton, have researched their local and natural history and produced interpretation boards • Farmers have benefitted from funds for hedGerows and the development of wildlife corridors • Parishes interact with the National Trust on the charity’s land throuGh Friends Groups operatinG on the RidGe, eG, Helsby Quarry • For some parishes, like Tilston, the Sandstone RidGe provides the viewpoint and settinG (backdrop) for the parish • Footpaths and bridleways and challenGes of maintenance • Many people livinG within the parishes use the RidGe for doG walkinG • Local councils can interact with the RidGe and its protection throuGh neiGhbourhood plans • The parishes on the RidGe include a wide ranGe of heritage assets used by the community, for example, the triG point and Observer Corps Bunker at Helsby, Helsby Quarry, Harmers Wood, and the oak tree at Peckforton Castle – one of the oldest in Cheshire • Parishes interact via the information conveyed on their websites • Some Parish Councillors have additional roles protectinG heritage assets on the RidGe, for example, as tree wardens • Parish Councils work with local businesses • Some parish councils work closely toGether, for example, Peckforton and Beeston Parishes on beacon liGhtinG to commemorate the centenary of the end of the Great War in 11/11/2018 • Darnhall Parish doesn’t lie within the RidGe, but does have links with Little Budworth. 4 Topic 2. What challenges does the Sandstone Ridge generate and what local benefits are there? Attendees hiGhliGhted the followinG challenges: • Tourism brinGs challenGes to the likes of the National Trust and local councils in respect of issues like car parkinG • Is the RidGe at capacity for the number of visitors it can accommodate? • Issue of damage to the area from visitors and wear and tear on the ridGe itself, eG, the impacts of climbers on outcrops and cliffs • Traffic speed issues • Footpath maintenance • Car parkinG Generally, eG, Bulkeley Hill • No room for parkinG places • Shortcut speedinG in country lanes • LoGistics of GettinG from end of the Sandstone Trail, back to the other on public transport • BalancinG development against preservation • MaintaininG rural look – managinG housinG development/buildinGs (importance of havinG NeiGhbourhood Development Plan) • InteGration of the common interests of voluntary orGanisations • Parishes do not feel challenGed • Parishes “like the RidGe as it is” – but not particularly aware of the chanGes that are occurring • Broadband access and mobile siGnals • Mobile apps like Uber needed – as a possible solution to transport issues. • Dog mess • Litter • Anti-social behaviour • Crime • What does the Sandstone RidGe Trust want to achieve? • Increased revenue versus lack of infrastructure • The challenGe between aspiration of larGer landowners and poor local infrastructure, impact on communities • Absentee landlords, not enGaged with local community and downsizinG, removinG assets • Need to have a control over a partnership, manage the balance of demoGraphics (keep the younGer Generation in the area) • Derelict properties – opportunities • Reduction in public services Attendees hiGhliGhted the followinG local benefits: • BrinGs tourism into the area • Rural businesses are attracted by the area and its beauty • People want to come because of scenery etc and to walk the RidGe • Open air – healthy – scenery – wildlife 5 • Easily accessible for the public • Outdoor classroom for history, GeoloGy and wildlife • The RidGe brinGs benefits to the economy, learninG and developinG new skills, increased markets Topic 3.

  • Framework of a Neighbourhood Plan
    Clotton and Hoofield: Framework of a Neighbourhood Plan Background and Introduction. This plan has been prepared by the Clotton and Hoofield Neighbourhood Plan Group on behalf of Clotton and Hoofield Parish Council after X months of study, research and consultation with the local community. We have also worked closely with Cheshire West and Chester Council. We have consulted with the community in a number of ways throughout the plan making process and we believe that this Plan reflects the views of our community. A number of strong messages emerged from the consultation process including the size, volume and speed of traffic passing through the village as well as the fact that local people enjoy living and working in the village and wish to retain its identity and character. This was key to developing the overarching Vision of the Plan which is set out on page X of the plan. The aims and policies of the Plan have been driven by the views of the local community and we strongly believe that the policies in this plan are robust and, when formally adopted, will provide the necessary planning policy framework for the future of the community up to 2030. The Neighbourhood plan area for Clotton and Hoofield was designated in X, 2017 and is shown on the plan (below/opposite). Peter Manby Chair of the Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group Contents. 1.
