  • Agenda Item 6B
    Page 182 Agenda Item 6b REPORT TO: Urban Renewal Policy & Performance Board DATE: 18 June 2008 REPORTING OFFICER: Strategic Director, Environment SUBJECT: The ‘Heart of Halton’ Plaque Scheme WARDS: Borough wide 1.0 PURPOSE OF THE REPORT 1.1 Halton has many famous places, people and landmark events, all of which have in some way shaped Halton and the towns and the parishes within the borough. Currently no one record of the achievements, places or people has been brought together in one celebratory scheme. This report sets out proposals to establish such a scheme – ‘The Heart of Halton’ which would be similar to the Civic Trust’s Blue Plaque scheme. It will seek to identify and celebrate where Halton’s achievers, people and activities took place or lived. 2.0 RECOMMENDED: That 1) The Board comments on the proposal to establish the Heart of Halton scheme 2) Subject to the Board’s agreement, a further report be brought before the Board, setting out the costs and operational requirements for implementing the scheme 3.0 BACKGROUND 3.1 The towns of Runcorn and Widnes and the various borough Parishes have much to be proud of. From ground breaking scientific achievements to contributions to popular music and contemporary society being born or bred within Halton’s boundaries. 3.2 The achievements and innovation may have happened elsewhere had it not been for the way in which Halton became a centre of excellence for a number of companies and individuals who decided to build their businesses or homes in the area. Examples of Halton’s rich and varied heritage can be found in appendix 1 of this report.

No leaseholder, lease-renter should suffer anxiety, facing costs well beyond the ability to pay. Replacing unsafe cladding on buildings may total £15 billion, nearly ten times the funds now available. You will be aware it is estimated that 1.5 million flats are currently un-mortgageable, trapping around 3.6 million people in potentially dangerous, unsellable housing. Government has responsibility and resources to rescue the living victims of the cladding costs scandal. Everyone seems to be at fault except those presently lumbered with impossible costs and with unsaleable flats in place of their dream homes. APPG co-chairs call on Government to accurately assess liability for building safety remediation costs which should not fall on the end-user, the leaseholder because of defective legislation. You will be aware two prime ministers, three former secretaries of state and successive housing ministers stated leaseholders should not pay to make their homes safe.

  • Urgent Open Letter to Jesse Norman Mp on the Loan Charge
    URGENT OPEN LETTER TO JESSE NORMAN MP ON THE LOAN CHARGE Dear Minister, We are writing an urgent letter to you in your new position as the Financial Secretary to the Treasury. On the 11th April at the conclusion of the Loan Charge Debate the House voted in favour of the motion. The Will of the House is clearly for an immediate suspension of the Loan Charge and an independent review of this legislation. Many Conservative MPs have criticised the Loan Charge as well as MPs from other parties. As you will be aware, there have been suicides of people affected by the Loan Charge. With the huge anxiety thousands of people are facing, we believe that a pause and a review is vital and the right and responsible thing to do. You must take notice of the huge weight of concern amongst MPs, including many in your own party. It was clear in the debate on the 4th and the 11th April, that the Loan Charge in its current form is not supported by a majority of MPs. We urge you, as the Rt Hon Cheryl Gillan MP said, to listen to and act upon the Will of the House. It is clear from their debate on 29th April that the House of Lords takes the same view. We urge you to announce a 6-month delay today to give peace of mind to thousands of people and their families and to allow for a proper review. Ross Thomson MP John Woodcock MP Rt Hon Sir Edward Davey MP Jonathan Edwards MP Ruth Cadbury MP Tulip Siddiq MP Baroness Kramer Nigel Evans MP Richard Harrington MP Rt Hon Sir Vince Cable MP Philip Davies MP Lady Sylvia Hermon MP Catherine West MP Rt Hon Dame Caroline

  • The Rt Hon Chris Grayling MP Secretary of State for Transport Department for Transport Great Minster House 33 Horseferry Road London SW1P 4DR
    The Rt Hon Chris Grayling MP Secretary of State for Transport Department for Transport Great Minster House 33 Horseferry Road London SW1P 4DR 12 June 2018 Dear Secretary of State, During the past month over 2000 Northern Rail trains have been cancelled completely. A further 2000 or so have been “part cancelled” and hundreds of services have been confined to inadequately short trains. These statistics show how clear it is that Northern Rail is yet another failing franchise. Northern Rail’s passengers, our constituents, have been left in the lurch, with cancellations and delays causing complete chaos. We in the North have passengers who cannot travel to work, children who cannot travel to school, with some commuters reporting that more than 70% of their journeys have been delayed over the past six months. Northern Rail was awarded the franchise in 2016 under the stipulation that the outdated pacer trains would be phased out by 2019, along with other improvements and extra services being introduced. We are sure that you will be aware that these things have not yet happened. Your announcement that improving Northern Rail’s service is the Department of Transport’s ‘number one performance priority’ is welcome, but it is crucial that this aspiration is quickly followed by positive action to relieve the travelling misery that our constituents are enduring. We hope that you are also willing to make regular statements to the House to allow those of us who represent Northern Rail’s passengers to question the Government on your plans, which are of a huge significance to so many of our constituents.
