  • Judicial Review Portfolio Holders
    Appendix Title: Local Government Re-organisation – Judicial Review Portfolio Holders: Cllr Graham Payne, Leader Cllr Rod Eaton, Change and Integration Portfolio Holder Reporting Officer: Nicola Mathiason - Head of Legal and Democratic Services Andrew Pate - Chief Executive Key Decision: No ______________________________________________________________ Purpose • To decide whether to redirect the Council's legal efforts and resources, from a separate judicial review, to support for the Shrewsbury and Atcham and Congleton appeal. Background • On 8 August 2007 Cabinet agreed that the Council should commence legal proceedings for Judicial Review against the Secretary of State’s decision about Local Government Reorganisation in Wiltshire. The Council’s case has been ‘on hold’ until the result of the Shrewsbury and Congleton Judicial Review was known. The judgement in this case has now been delivered. The judicial review was unsuccessful. The High Court Judge held that the Secretary of State had common law powers available to her to carry out the process, that she did not have to be satisfied that a proposal met the criteria at the time of the assessment and that she had not acted irrationally. Key Issues • Advice has been taken from our Counsel (who also acts for Shrewsbury and Congleton) on whether we should now continue with our case in the light of the Shrewsbury judgement. We have been advised that unless the Shrewsbury judgement is appealed successfully we cannot effectively progress our case. The grounds of our case are similar and the arguments we would raise are much the same as Shrewsbury raised. We have been advised that we should focus on supporting an appeal by Shrewsbury and Congleton.

  • Cheshire East: Developing Emotionally Healthy Children and Young People
    CHESHIRE EAST: DEVELOPING EMOTIONALLY HEALTHY CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE The Cheshire East emotionally healthy children and young people partnership is led by Cheshire East council’s children’s services, and is primarily funded from the council’s public health budget. Many organisations have been actively involved in developing the partnership including the NHS’s local clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) and children’s and adolescents mental health services (CAMHS), headteachers, and several vol- untary organisations. As a council senior manager explained: “It’s all partnership working. We work with schools, with the CCG, with health providers, with school nurses, health visitors, early years services, third sector organisations.” As a health lead commented: “It is pretty unique in its nature and scope.” The partnership’s aim is to support children and young people in becoming more mentally resilient: to be better able to manage their own mental health, to pro- cess what is going on in their environment, and to access specialist services should they need them. They want to reduce the number of children and young people attending accident and emergency services, or being inappropriately re- ferred to the CAMHS. The partnership’s original focus was creating ‘emotionally healthy schools’, but they are now extending their reach into early years settings. “We have been really blessed in support from above. We have had investment in to this project year after year. The moral and ethical support is there but also Pinancial.” INITIAL PHASE In 2015 CCGs were required to produce a local ‘children and mental health trans- formation plan’ to implement the NHS’s national ‘Five Year Forward View’ and ‘Future in Mind’ recommendations.

  • What the Crown May Do
    WHAT THE CROWN MAY DO 1. It is now established, at least at the level of the Court of Appeal (so that Court has recently stated)1, that, absent some prohibition, a Government minister may do anything which any individual may do. The purpose of this paper is to explain why this rule is misconceived and why it, and the conception of the “prerogative” which it necessarily assumes, should be rejected as a matter of constitutional law. 2. The suggested rule raises two substantive issues of constitutional law: (i) who ought to decide in what new activities the executive may engage, in what circumstances and under what conditions; and (ii) what is the scope for abuse that such a rule may create and should it be left without legal control. 3. As Sir William Wade once pointed out (in a passage subsequently approved by the Appellate Committee2), “The powers of public authorities are...essentially different from those of private persons. A man making his will may, subject to any rights of his dependants, dispose of his property just as he may wish. He may act out of malice or a spirit of revenge, but in law this does not affect his exercise of power. In the same way a private person has an absolute power to release a debtor, or, where the law permits, to evict a tenant, regardless of his motives. This is unfettered discretion.” If a minister may do anything that an individual may do, he may pursue any purpose which an individual may do when engaged in such activities.

  • The Congleton Accounts: Further Evidence of Elizabethan and Jacobean Drama in Cheshire
    ALAN C . COMAN The Congleton accounts: further evidence of Elizabethan and Jacobean drama in Cheshire Last summer, while conducting my research into the influence on Elizabethan and Jacobean drama of schoolmasters and household tutors in the northwest of England - viz, Cheshire, Lancashire, Shropshire (Salop) and Westmorland (Cumbria) - I came across some evidence of dramatic activities in Congleton that I believe are as yet undocumented but are significant in several respects . Since it was a chance discovery right at the end of my stay, what is presented here is only a cursory examination of the records, not a thorough and complete study . In the Cheshire County Record Office, I had occasion to consult Robert Head's Congleton Past and Present, published in 1887 and republished presumably as a centenary tribute in 1987, and History of Congleton, edited by W .B. Stephens and published in 1970 to celebrate the 700th anniversary of the town's royal charter.' Although my immediate concern was with the history of Congleton Grammar School and any possible dramatic activity connected with it, I was struck by references to the town's notorious week-long cockfights and bearbaits, and the even more intriguing assertions that the cockpit was usually in the school and that the schoolmaster was the controller and director of the pastime, reclaiming all runaway cocks as his own rightful perquisites . Head's book gave an entry from the borough's accounts : `1601. Payd John Wagge for dressyige the schoolhouse at the great cock fyghte . ..0.0.4d'. Because the aforementioned sports and pastimes were said to have drawn all the local gentry and nobility to the schoolhouse, the schoolmaster might also have undertaken some dramatic activities ; the town could have attracted touring companies at such times .

    Unit 2A Bradwall Court Bradwall Road Sandbach Cheshire CW11 1GE 01270 766214 [email protected] Dear Parent/Carer, Introducing Wider Opportunities (Whole Class Instrumental Tuition) All pupils in your child’s class will soon be receiving free whole class instrumental lessons as part of the school curriculum. This is part of an exciting scheme to provide all children at primary school with the opportunity to experience the excitement and challenge of learning a musical instrument. During their weekly class music lesson, all the pupils in the class will learn a musical instrument chosen by the child from a range of instruments. Your child will have the opportunity to try all of the available instruments before deciding which one to play. The lessons will then be delivered by the class teacher and specialist instrumental teachers from the Love Music Trust. The class will learn together as a band and throughout the lessons they will cover the National Curriculum for Music. Wider Opportunities is not designed to replace ‘traditional’ instrumental tuition that happens in schools. The programme is designed to give children the experience of playing a musical instrument and all of the fun and enjoyment that comes from it. After their initial lessons the Love Music Trust will help those children who wish to continue playing their instrument to find the best place for them to continue to learn. Once your child has gained some confidence on the instrument they have chosen they will be able to bring it home to practise what they have been studying in the lesson. Tutors will provide your child with information about how to care for instruments at home as well as tips on how to practice at home.

This should be based on a rolling average of 10 years sales data and other relevant local information and an assessment of all of the supply options (including marine dredged, secondary and recycled sources)1. The guidelines specify that this can be done either individually or jointly by agreement with another or other mineral planning authorities. 1.2 The Association of Greater Manchester Authorities (AGMA), the Merseyside authorities, including Halton (working through Merseyside Environmental Advisory Service (MEAS)) and the unitary authority of Warrington (known as the ‘sub-region’) have decided to continue to work together by collaborating in the production of this document in order to satisfy the new duty to co-operate imposed by Section 110 of the Localism Act and due to established links from previous sub-regional working.
