There are a lot of people with rent arrears Causes of homelessness in Tameside Mental Health Mental health is also an issue 3 Topic Theme Comment but we find it tends to be just one of multiple issues, with the main cause being that the individual does not have a support system. Many do not have family or friends who they can turn to for help. Causes of homelessness in Tameside Breakdown in Family We find it tends to be one of Relations multiple causes, but the main issues happen because people do not have a support system. If they have no family or friends who can they turn to for help? Causes of homelessness in Tameside Breakdown in Family Family breakdown is a key Relations trigger to homelessness. Causes of homelessness in Tameside Negative Relationships Relationships with ‘friends’. We work with men who have friends who wreck their flats or cause a nuisance, and this then affects their tenancy agreement. Often, they are too scared to say no to people so they end up losing their home. Causes of homelessness in Tameside Substance Misuse An alcoholic would rather 4 Topic Theme Comment spend his money on alcohol. If people are given food, sleeping bags (etc.), this means that they are more likely to spend money on alcohol because their needs are being met on the street. They are more likely to stay homeless because of drugs, alcohol and an inability to budget. Causes of homelessness in Tameside Finance-Budgeting Skills People are expected to be able to do maths, yet one third of people in the UK have a maths level of age 11 or under. One of the main things we help people with is budgeting. It is comparable to parenting for adults. For example, the care system does not help people to be ready for life. Causes of homelessness in Tameside Breakdown in Family Relationship break up is a Relations very common issue. Men are more likely to leave the home or be asked to leave the home particularly if there have been domestic violence 5 Topic Theme Comment issues. This has happened even in the case of the male being the victim.

You have colonies of low income people, living in houses provided by the local authorities, and you have the higher income groups living in their own colonies. This segregation of the different income groups is a wholly evil thing, from a civilised point of view… We should try to introduce what was always the lovely feature of English and Welsh villages, where the doctor, the grocer, the butcher and the farm labourer all lived in the same street – the living tapestry of a mixed community.

    Submission to the Boundary Commission for England 2013 Review North West Region Greater Manchester and Lancashire Andrew Teale December 4, 2011 Abstract This submission disagrees with and presents a counter-proposal to the Boundary Commission for England’s proposals for new parliamentary con- stituency boundaries in Greater Manchester and Lancashire. The counter- proposal allocates seven whole constituencies to the boroughs of Stockport, Tameside and Oldham, nine whole constituencies to the boroughs of Man- chester, Salford and Trafford, and twenty-four whole constituencies to the rest of the region. No comment is made on the Boundary Commission’s proposals for the rest of the North West region or for any other region.

  • Area Profile

    Area Profile

    A profile of needs and s Services about children, young people and their families In the Hyde, Hattersley & Longdendale area of Tameside September 2007 Hyde, Hattersley & Longdendale: Profile of need and services Introduction This is a selective statistical profile of needs and services in the Hyde, Hattersley & Longdendale area, this is one of four areas chosen as a basis from which future integrated services for children, young people and their families will be delivered. The other areas are Ashton-under-Lyne: Denton, Droylsden & Audenshaw and Stalybridge, Mossley & Dukinfield. Companion profiles of these other areas are also available. This profile has a focus on data that has relevance to children and families rather than other community members (e.g. older people). The data selected is not exhaustive, rather key indicators of need are selected to help produce an overall picture of need in the area and offer some comparisons between localities (mainly wards) within the area. Some commentary is provided as appropriate. It is expected that the profile will aid the planning and delivery of services. The profile has two parts: Part 1 focuses on the presentation of basic need data, whilst Part 2 focuses on services. The top three categories of the new occupational classification are ‘Managers & Senior Officials; Professionals’ and Associate Professional & Technical’ (hatched at the top of the graph on right) Tameside as a whole comes 350 th out of 376 in the country for Professional; and bottom in Greater Manchester for all three categories

    Domestic 4: the Modern House and Housing

    Domestic 4: Modern Houses and Housing Listing Selection Guide Summary Historic England’s twenty listing selection guides help to define which historic buildings are likely to meet the relevant tests for national designation and be included on the National Heritage List for England. Listing has been in place since 1947 and operates under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. If a building is felt to meet the necessary standards, it is added to the List. This decision is taken by the Government’s Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). These selection guides were originally produced by English Heritage in 2011: slightly revised versions are now being published by its successor body, Historic England. The DCMS‘ Principles of Selection for Listing Buildings set out the over-arching criteria of special architectural or historic interest required for listing and the guides provide more detail of relevant considerations for determining such interest for particular building types. See https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/principles-of- selection-for-listing-buildings. Each guide falls into two halves. The first defines the types of structures included in it, before going on to give a brisk overview of their characteristics and how these developed through time, with notice of the main architects and representative examples of buildings. The second half of the guide sets out the particular tests in terms of its architectural or historic interest a building has to meet if it is to be listed. A select bibliography gives suggestions for further reading. This guide, one of four on different types of Domestic Buildings, covers modern houses and housing.

This report contains our final proposals for the London Borough of Bromley's boundary with the London Borough of Lewisham. In the main, we have proposed limited changes to remove anomalies, for example, where properties are divided by the boundary. However, we have also sought to unite areas of continuous development where this has appeared to be in the interests of effective and convenient local government. Our report explains how we arrived at our proposals. 2. On 1 April 1987 we announced the start of a review of Greater London, the London boroughs and the City of London, as part of the programme of reviews we are required to undertake by virtue of section 48(1) of the Local Government Act 1972. We wrote to each of the local authorities concerned. 3. Copies of our letter were sent to the adjoining London boroughs; the appropriate county, district and parish councils bordering Greater London; the local authority associations; Members of Parliament with constituency interests; and the headquarters of the main political parties.
