Growing up on the Ranch
GROWING UP ON THE RANCH In 1945 at the end of World War II dad was de-mobbed from the Royal Navy, he had been an aero-engine fitter on aircraft carriers. Shortly afterwards he got a job at Rolls-Royce in Barnoldswick and so, in April 1946, when I was six months old, we moved from Ashton-Under-Lyne, near Manchester, to live in Earby. We lived firstly at 22 Warwick Drive with my aunt and uncle, who like my dad had got a job at Rolls-Royce, then in a flat above a shop at 111a Colne Road, until the day came when we moved into a prefab at 16 Chesford Avenue on The Ranch. North Holme Estate(named after a nearby farmhouse), known colloquially as The Ranch, was situated at the top of a hill on Salterforth Lane, a short distance from the railway station. The estate comprised of semi-detached prefabricated (prefab) bungalows which were erected at the start of the war to house “essential workers”. The estate got its nickname from the community centre which looked like a ranch house. The community centre was a large prefabricated building, it had a bar, a small stage, snooker tables and one room at the end was a library, which on Saturdays was used as a cinema where films were shown. It was run for a long time by Phyllis and Bill Brookes whose son John tells me he used to help change the beer barrels and serve behind the bar at age twelve. PREFAB The prefabs were constructed from asbestos sheeting with a corrugated roof. -
England Coast Path Stretch Report
www.gov.uk/englandcoastpath England Coast Path Stretch: Silverdale to Cleveleys Report SDC 2: Wild Duck Hall, Bolton-le-Sands to Ocean Edge Caravan Park, Heysham Part 2.1: Introduction Start Point: Wild Duck Hall, Bolton-le-Sands (grid reference: SD 4798 6867) End Point: Ocean Edge Caravan Park, Heysham (grid reference: SD 4041 5912) Relevant Maps: SDC 2a to SDC 2h 2.1.1 This is one of a series of linked but legally separate reports published by Natural England under section 51 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949, which make proposals to the Secretary of State for improved public access along and to this stretch of coast between Silverdale and Cleveleys. 2.1.2 This report covers length SDC 2 of the stretch, which is the coast between Wild Duck Hall, Bolton-le-Sands and Ocean Edge Caravan Park, Heysham. It makes free-standing statutory proposals for this part of the stretch, and seeks approval for them by the Secretary of State in their own right under section 52 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949. 2.1.3 The report explains how we propose to implement the England Coast Path (“the trail”) on this part of the stretch, and details the likely consequences in terms of the wider ‘Coastal Margin’ that will be created if our proposals are approved by the Secretary of State. Our report also sets out: any proposals we think are necessary for restricting or excluding coastal access rights to address particular issues, in line with the powers in the legislation; and any proposed powers for the trail to be capable of being relocated on particular sections (“roll- back”), if this proves necessary in the future because of coastal change. -

Observations to the Local Government Boundary Commission on the New Electoral Arrangements for Lancaster City Council
Observations to the Local Government Boundary Commission on the New Electoral Arrangements for Lancaster City Council The proposal The proposal seeks to address the inequality of representation in the Ellel Ward. Ellel has a high concentration of students who live in temporary accommodation. Furthermore most of these students have primary addresses outside of the district, many are overseas students and students do not pay Council Tax. This imbalance appears to have led to a district wide review of boundaries. Changes to the Ellel Ward will inevitably result in a knock-on effect throughout the district, resulting in the breakup of established communities in Morecambe and Heysham. In Section 4 you state that your objective should be “to try and reflect the communities in the area”, thereby providing effective local representation. Observations Morecambe and Heysham are distinct communities. They have developed independently of Lancaster and now have a larger population than that of Lancaster. The proposal to give more representation to Lancaster University students will result in Morecambe and Heysham losing one councillor to Lancaster. This is unfair to the council tax payers of Morecambe as it will result in Morecambe and Heysham being under represented on Lancaster City Council. The boundary line between Lancaster and Morecambe is currently the boundary between Torrisholme and Skerton West. This is also the boundary of the newly established Morecambe Town Council. The Boundary Commission proposes to move Lancaster’s Skerton West boundary into Morecambe. This contradicts your mission in Section 4 which states “to try and reflect the communities in the area”. Residents who have proudly identified themselves for years as Morecambrians will overnight find their community divided. -
Lancashire Behaviour Support Tool
Lancashire Behaviour Support Tool Introduction Lancashire is committed to achieving excellent outcomes for its children and young people. Our aim for all our young people is for them to have the best possible start in life so that all have the opportunity to fulfill their learning potential. Schools and other settings should be safe and orderly places where all children and young people can learn and develop. The consequences of behaviour which challenges others can, if not addressed effectively, impact negatively on individual pupils and groups of pupils. The need for the Local Authority, schools and other partners to work together to address behavioural issues is essential if we are to promote high standards of achievement and attainment for all. The purpose of the Behaviour Support tool is to produce accessible, and accurate information for schools and settings in one place, on sources of training, support and advice led by Lancashire services and clear pathways in relation to meeting pupil's social, emotional and behavioural needs. Aims 1. To develop safe, calm and ordered school environments within which pupils are able to learn and develop and thrive. 2. To develop skills for emotional literacy, positive social relationships and emotional health and well-being among pupils to take into their adult lives beyond school. 3. To Improve capacity within our schools and other settings to include all our pupils including those children and young people who, at times, may present very challenging behaviour, as a result of a variety of factors originating both within the child or young person or resulting from their social environment. -
Rishton, SS. Peter and Paul, Parish Profile
The Parish of Rishton St Peter and St Paul PARISH PROFILE Welcome Welcome to our Parish Profile, through this document we hope to share with you as many aspects of our parish family life as possible. But words on a page can only convey so much, so please do arrange a visit to see us in person, a warm welcome awaits you. Our Facebook page is also a source to see more of our work. Rishton is a small town in the Borough of Hyndburn. The nearby towns of Blackburn, Accrington and Burnley, once home to a thriving weaving industry, are today places of business and commerce, as well as providing many shopping and leisure needs. 2 Equally nearby are the countryside towns of Whalley and Clitheroe and the Ribble Valley, an area of great natural beauty. Rishton was founded in the 19th century, unlike its nearby neighbours, not on weaving, but the production of linoleum and coal mining. The township steadily grew with St Peter and St Paul’s, then a daughter church to nearby Great Harwood, being consecrated in 1877. Still today, Rishton has a strong community feel, many referring to it as ‘the village’. Rishon people are proud of their town and their working class heritage. At the heart of our town is a small, but busy main street offering a variety of food and other essential shops. Housing is very mixed, from long streets of terraced housing to a number of housing estates with semi and detached dwellings. Some areas of the town are marked by poverty and deprivation whilst others are far more affluent. -
