  • The History of Blithfield Reservoir the History of Blithfield Reservoir
    The History of Blithfield Reservoir The History of Blithfield Reservoir The land before Blithfield Reservoir Prior to the development of Blithfield Reservoir, the landscape consisted largely of fields with small areas of woodland, and was formed in the shape of a wide flat valley with a floor of alluvial sand and gravel; the land was used mainly by farmers for growing crops and grazing their animals. The River Blithe meandered for three miles through these woods and fields, with the small Kitty Fisher Brook winding alongside. The Tad Brook, slightly larger than the Kitty Fisher Brook, flowed into the north eastern part of the area. There were two buildings within the area that would eventually be flooded. In Yeatsall Hollow, at the foot of the valley, there was a small thatched cottage called Blithmoor Lodge. This was demolished to make way for the causeway that now allows vehicles to cross the Reservoir. The second building was an old mill called Blithfield Mill, positioned on the western bank of the River Blithe, and having an adjacent millpond; the mill’s water wheel was driven by the flowing water of the River Blithe. Although some maps show the mill as having been demolished, the foundation stones and the brick wall around the millpond remain. At times when the level of the Reservoir becomes low enough these remains become visible. During the 1930s and 1940s, The South Staffordshire Waterworks Company, as it was then known, purchased 952 hectares, (2,350 acres) of land, of which 642 hectares, (1,585 acres) was purchased from Lord Bagot.

Needwood & South Derbyshire Claylands Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper,1 Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention,3 we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas North (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which East follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. Yorkshire & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform West their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a East landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage Midlands broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will West also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Midlands East of Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features England that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each London area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental South East Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. South West The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.

  • Newsletter 18.PUB
    Abbots Bromley Parish Council Newsletter Summer 2002 Number 18 Abbots Bromley Parish Council and the new Code of Conduct The Local Government Act 2000 requires all parish councils to adopt a revised standard Code of Conduct, and also demands that individual councillors sign up to the Code and complete a personal Register of Interests. Parish Councillors have always signed up to a comprehensive Code of Conduct but the new legislation requires much more personal detail about each councillor. (Councillors are in addition still required to declare any relevant interests at any meeting where this may be appropriate.) A new Standards Board for England has also been set up to investigate complaints. You may have heard something about reactions to the new Code of Conduct in the press. Across the country this has ranged from whole parish councils resigning en masse through to full implementation without protest. Locally we have taken the view that it is very much a matter for the individual councillor to decide their own position and act accordingly. Those who are happy to adopt the Code have considered the matter carefully. Those who do not wish to sign are concerned that the new requirements are excessive compared to the powers and budgets of Parish Councils and that their introduction mid-term changes the basis on which they were elected to serve. Having studied the requirements and implications of the Local Government Act 2000, three of the nine councillors feel unable to sign up to the model code of conduct that this law required the Parish Council to adopt.
