It is taken from a book called ‘We Can Change the World’. As your build up to Christmas begins please take a moment or two to read and reflect upon this story. It was December 25, 1914, only 5 months into World War I. German, British, and French soldiers, already sick and tired of the senseless killing, disobeyed their superiors and fraternized with "the enemy" along two-thirds of the Western Front (a crime punishable by death in times of war). German troops held Christmas trees up out of the trenches with signs, "Merry Christmas." "You no shoot, we no shoot." Thousands of troops streamed across a no-man's land strewn with rotting corpses. They sang Christmas carols, exchanged photographs of loved ones back home, shared rations, played football, even roasted some pigs. Soldiers embraced men they had been trying to kill a few short hours before. They agreed to warn each other if the top brass forced them to fire their weapons, and to aim high. A shudder ran through the high command on either side. Here was disaster in the making: soldiers declaring their brotherhood with each other and refusing to fight. Generals on both sides declared this spontaneous peacemaking to be treasonous and subject to court martial. By March 1915 the fraternization movement had been eradicated and the killing machine put back in full operation. By the time of the armistice in 1918, fifteen million would be slaughtered. The Christmas Truce story goes against most of what we have been taught about people. It gives us a glimpse of the world as we wish it could be and says, "This really happened once." It reminds us of those thoughts we keep hidden away, out of range of the TV and newspaper stories that tell us how trivial and mean human life is. It is like hearing that our deepest wishes really are true: the world really could be different. The world really can be different and God sent His Son, His only Son to show us the way. I would encourage you to come to church and hear again the story of the Birth of Jesus, and to take some time to reflect upon the meaning of Christmas to you, and what you can do to make your part of the world different and better. I wish each and everyone of you a very peaceful, happy and joyful Christmas.

  • Question 4: Is There Any Data Or Evidence That We Haven't Referred To?
    Question 4: Is there any data or evidence that we haven't referred to? ID Representor Comments Council Response 14 non that I am aware of Noted 17 We have been instructed by The Skelmersdale Partnership who own the Noted Concourse Centre to submit representations in respect of the emerging draft West Lancashire Local Plan Review Issues & Options Consultation. - - Our clients have owned the Concourse Centre since March 1997. It was constructed by the Commission for New Towns in the 1960s and is built over 3 floors with the main trading floor (two thirds of the retail space) on the first floor. We attach a site location plan and floor plans of the Centre. - - The Centre was originally designed for pedestrians and vehicles to be kept separate and therefore integration between car parking and the Centre is difficult. Access to the main trading floor is via a number of pedestrian bridges from the surrounding areas. In the 1980s the Centre was subdivided to include a 3 level multi storey car park which does not link directly into the trading floors of the Concourse at all levels. - - As a result, the distance between the car park and the shop floor is much larger than modern retail shopping centres. In order to traverse the centre it is necessary to travel between different levels by ramps, escalators, stairs or lifts. This makes trolley shopping particularly difficult. Not only does this negatively affect shoppers but it also results in a lower spend per trip as people tend to make smaller basket sales. As a result, the Concourse is particularly vulnerable to new shopping development either within the Town Centre or within its catchment area.

  • Draft Green Infrastructure and Cycling Strategy
    Draft Green Infrastructure and Cycling Strategy November 2016 John Harrison DipEnvP, MRTPI Director of Development and Regeneration Contents 1. Introduction 1 2. General Context 3 3. Policy context 8 4. Vision 12 5. Objectives 13 6. West Lancashire – Current Green Infrastructure and Cycling Resource 14 7. West Lancashire – Future Green Infrastructure and Cycling Resource 23 8. Delivery and Funding 38 Appendix 1: Biodiversity Sites in West Lancashire 43 1. Introduction Green Infrastructure – a network of high quality green spaces and other natural environmental features - is vital to the quality of life and business in West Lancashire and elsewhere. Cycling is an increasingly popular activity that is intrinsically linked to Green Infrastructure and that has the potential to play an important role in contributing towards improved health and general environmental quality. Recognising the importance of Green Infrastructure and cycling in the area, West Lancashire Borough Council has prepared this strategy to retain and enhance Green Infrastructure and to facilitate increased levels of cycling. The strategy identifies the opportunities for planning and implementing Green Infrastructure and cycling provision in the Borough, where investment will support the growth of West Lancashire and deliver the widest public benefits, environmental improvements, and the enhancement of the Borough’s economy. The strategy sits alongside the West Lancashire Local Plan 2012-2027, the Borough’s 15 year planning framework, and its Infrastructure Delivery Plan, both of which are available on the Council’s website: www.westlancs.gov.uk/planningpolicy. It updates and supersedes the 2006 West Lancashire Cycling Strategy. Structure of this document Chapters 2 and 3 of this document set out the general and policy context respectively for Green Infrastructure and cycling.

Ill temperate conditions ; the periods becoming less intensely con- trasted towards the close.1 This was the time of great continental ice-sheets, but in the later glacial periods of the same cycle the ice- sheets were less extensive. Oscillations of the relative level of land and sea took place, but to what extent is not known.2 2nd. A period of unknown duration, when the ice-sheets withdrew from all the low grounds, leaving behind them piles of rubbish. Climate becoming temperate. 3rd. A period of subsidence, during which the moraines profondes and terminal moraines were much denuded and their remains heaped up into mounds and ridges by the action of the sea. Climate temperate. 4th. A period of emergence, characterized throughout by arctic conditions; much floating-ice dispersing erratics over the submerged land; accumulation of clays with arctic mollusca; pauses in the upward movement marked by " raised beaches." 5th. A period of local glaciers in Great Britain and Ireland; continued elevation of land; continental condition of our island followed by partial submergence and re-elevation. Climate becoming gradually ameliorated. Having now considered the glacial and interglacial deposits, I pro- pose to take up some of those difficult problems which are suggested by the phenomena of the cave deposits and older river gravels of England. It will be seen in the sequel that the facts already adduced bear strongly upon this subject; indeed, without a clear conception of the succession of events revealed by our glacial deposits, it appears to me that we run some risk of getting into confusion when we seek te decipher the history of post-glacial accumulations.

Delivery and Funding 3841 Appendix 1: Biodiversity Sites in West Lancashire 4346 1. Introduction Green Infrastructure – a network of high quality green spaces and other natural environmental features ‐ is vital to the quality of life and business in West Lancashire and elsewhere. Cycling is an increasingly popular activity that is intrinsically linked to Green Infrastructure and that has the potential to play an important role in contributing towards improved health and general environmental quality. Recognising the importance of Green Infrastructure and cycling in the area, West Lancashire Borough Council has prepared this strategy to retain and enhance Green Infrastructure and to facilitate increased levels of cycling. The strategy identifies the opportunities for planning and implementing Green Infrastructure and cycling provision in the Borough, where investment will support the growth of West Lancashire and deliver the widest public benefits, environmental improvements, and the enhancement of the Borough’s economy. The strategy sits alongside the West Lancashire Local Plan 2012‐2027, the Borough’s 15 year planning framework, and its Infrastructure Delivery Plan, both of which are available on the Council’s website: www.westlancs.gov.uk/planningpolicy. It updates and supersedes the 2006 West Lancashire Cycling Strategy. Structure of this document Chapters 2 and 3 of this document set out the general and policy context respectively for Green Infrastructure and cycling.
