Combined Authorities and Metro Mayors
Combined Authorities and Metro Mayors What is a combined authority (CA)? A combined authority (CA) is a legal body set up using national legislation that enables a group of two or more councils to collaborate and take collective decisions across council boundaries. It is far more robust than an informal partnership or even a joint committee. The creation of a CA means that member councils can be more ambitious in their joint working and can take advantage of powers and resources devolved to them from national government. While established by Parliament, CAs are locally owned and have to be initiated and supported by the councils involved. 54 (17%) Number of local authorities (excluding the 33 London boroughs) with full membership of a combined authority 22% Percentage of population of England outside London living in a mayoral combined authority area Brief background to devolution and the combined authorities The idea of devolution has excited the imaginations of the political class for a long time even if the public has been less enthusiastic. The turnout rates for the May 2017 Metro Mayor 1 elections attest to this. Devolution was given a big push under New Labour but John Prescott’s North East Devolution Referendum 2004 was decisively rejected by the people (78% of voters were against). The idea was nevertheless pursued by the Coalition. Heseltine’s No Stone Unturned: In pursuit of growth 2012 report made a reasonable case for the concentration of funding streams and for these to be placed under local political control for greater efficiency and flexibility and to maximise effect. -

Proposed Pattern of Wards for the Electoral Review of Rochdale Borough
Electoral Review of Rochdale__________________________________________________________ Proposed Pattern of Wards for the Electoral Review of Rochdale Borough Introduction 1. The Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) informed the Council, in early 2019, of its decision to carry out an Electoral Review of the Council size (number of elected Councillors) and the number of wards and ward boundaries for Rochdale Borough Council. 1.1 This report sets out the Council’s response to the invitation from the LGBCE to put forward its preferred future pattern of wards for Rochdale Borough. 1.2 All of the proposed warding patterns within this submission adhere to the statutory criteria governing electoral reviews set out by the LGBCE: The new pattern of wards should mean that each councillor represents roughly the same number of voters as elected members elsewhere in the authority to secure equality of representation. Ward patterns should, as far as possible, reflect community interests and identities and boundaries should be identifiable. The electoral arrangements should promote effective and convenient local government and reflect the electoral cycle of the council. 1.3 In developing the future pattern of wards, the Council has recognised the importance of electoral equality to a fair democratic process and has understood and considered that delivering Rochdale’s priorities relies on ward boundaries which reflect the communities they serve, bringing partners and communities with common interests and identities within clearly recognised geographical boundaries. 1.4 The proposed ward boundaries within this submission seek to capture the characteristics of Rochdale’s established and emerging communities whilst reflecting the important role these boundaries will play in supporting the delivery of public service from 2022 onwards. -

The Rise of Bolton As an Important Engineering and Textile Town in Early 1800 England
I. međunarodna konferencija u povodu 150. obljetnice tvornice torpeda u Rijeci i očuvanja riječke industrijske baštine 57 THE RISE OF BOLTON AS AN IMPORTANT ENGINEERING AND TEXTILE TOWN IN EARLY 1800 ENGLAND Denis O’Connor, Industrial Historian Bolton Lancashire, Great Britain INTRODUCTION The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that Great Britain changed, in the 19th Century, from a rural economy to one based on coal and iron. In doing so it created conditions for British civil, textile and mechanical engineers, such as Robert Whitehead of Bolton, to rise to positions of eminence in their particular fields. Such men travelled across Europe, and laid, through the steam engine and railways, the foundations for many of the regions present day industries. EARLY TEXTILES AND BLEACHING. RISE OF LOCAI INDUSTRIES The origins of Bolton’s textile and engineering industry lie back in the 12th Century with the appointment of a Crown Quality Controller called an Ulnager. During the reign of Henry V111 an itinerant historian Leland observed that ‘Bolton - upon - Moore Market standeth by the cotton and coarse yarns - Diverse villages above Bolton do make Cotton’ and that ‘They burne at Bolton some canelle (coal) of which the Pitts be not far off’. Coal, combined with the many powerful streams of water from the moorlands, provided the basic elements for the textile industry to grow, the damp atmosphere conducive to good spinning of thread. In 1772 a Directory of Manchester (10-12 miles distant) was published, in this can be seen the extent of cloth making in an area of about 12 miles radius round Manchester, with 77 fustian makers (Flax warp and cotton or wool weft) attending the markets, 23 of whom were resident in Bolton. -

One More for Holts
ONE MORE FOR HOLTS The Rose Hill Tavern, Daisy Hill - known locally as "The Bug! - will soon serve its last pint of Tetley keg beers. The good news is that Holts are taking over. This represents a 100% increase in Holts pubs in the Bolton branch area (the other is the White Lion, just up the road in Westhoughton). The Rose Hill is adjacent to Daisy Hill station; 516 and 627 buses pass the door. The change at the Rose Hill leaves the Daisy Hill Hotel as Daisy Hill's last non real ale outlet. ho owns this last outpost for keg beer? Greenalls!

Oldham Rochdale HMR Pathfinder Heritage
Oldham Rochdale HMR Pathfi nder Heritage Assessment Executive Summary September 2006 CONTENTS 1.00 INTRODUCTION 1 2.00 OLDHAM 4 3.00 ROCHDALE 11 4.00 MIDDLETON 17 1 Introduction 1.00 INTRODUCTION Background Oldham and Rochdale Partners in Action have commissioned a series of heritage assessments of the Oldham Rochdale Housing Market Renewal Pathfi nder (HMRP) area, one of nine Partnership areas where the housing market has been identifi ed by the Government as weak and in need of fundamental change. The aim of the Partnership is to enable the delivery of a high quality, sustainable urban environment which address the problem of concentrations of poor and outmoded housing. An extensive series of actions that will reverse decline and reinvigorate the housing market are planned, which will initially involve strategic interventions in four neighbourhoods: • Derker and Werneth Freehold districts of Oldham, • East Central Rochdale area of Rochdale, and the • Langley area of Middleton. A combination of refurbishment, demolition and new building is being used to replace dated, unpopular housing of all types and periods with modern sustainable accommodation, supported by other initiatives such as Neighbourhood Renewal and New Deal for Communities. The aim is to deliver over a 10–15 year period clean, safe, healthy and attractive environments in which people can take pride. Recognising and building on the heritage value of the existing communities is a key component of the overall strategy for renewal. This is why the Partnership supports the need for heritage assessments which can be used to inform spatial planning and development decisions at a variety of levels, from the masterplanning of whole neighbourhoods to the reuse and refurbishment of individual buildings. -
