Do we use environmentally friendly website hosting ? Yes No Yes This is the response from the Parish Council’s web host:- “I wasn’t actual sure about the green credentials of the hosting, so I had to ask the datacentre… their reply is below. Basically their offices are eco-friendly and the datacentres they partner with worldwide are committed to energy saving – so I’m not 100% sure if this ticks the “eco-friendly hosting” box but it sounds like it?” Reply from the Data Centre:- We currently use offices that run using 100% renewal solar energy generated by an on-site solar farm.

  • Natural Flood Management Proposals Crompton Moor, Oldham
    Natural Flood Management Proposals Crompton Moor, Oldham Background A survey has been undertaken by the Natural Flood Management Advisor at the Mersey Forest who was able to identify a series of potential Natural Flood Management measures on the moor, see location plan below. The site assessment was also attended by City of Trees and members of the Friends of Crompton Moor. NFM measures are being considered to help slow down and reduce the amount of rainwater entering the Old Brook which flows into the River Beal, that latter being identified by the Environment Agency as source of flood risk to communities in Crompton and Shaw. The survey found 4 potential options for delivering NFM, see context map below. Option Context Map Option 2 Option 3 Option 4 44 Option 1 Option 1 – Plantation Woodland & Adjacent field boundary Drainage Ditch Water drains into the woodland from an external adjacent drainage ditch at the bottom of the moor. After rainfall this forms a shallow stream that runs through the woodland and it drains into the Old Brook via a culvert. It is proposed that a log jam is constructed across the course of this stream to allow water to back up into a depression to create an area of ‘wet woodland’ following rainfall events. The log jam would be constructed using felled timber from the immediate vicinity. This will also allow more light into the woodland and help to facilitate colonisation by wet loving understorey species. Drainage ditch containing pipe Culvert daylighted here Log Jam Example of log jam installed in a woodland Culvert Discharging into the Plantation Water Flowing Through the Plantation from the Culvert Option 2 – Dam Old Brook to utilise storage space of abandoned reservoir Inspection of the upper course of the Old Brook revealed a large adjacent depression which appeared to be the location of an abandoned reservoir, probably associated with historical mining activity.

Since the publication of the particulars given at No. 152, I have been favoured with the loan of a little book which contains addi- tional information . It is entitled : A New selection of Hymns, compiled for the use of the Chartists, of Great Britain and Ireland . Selected, arranged, and published under the superintendence of a committee ap- pointed by the Chartist Delegates of South Lancashire . Manchester : J . Leach, printer, 40, Oak-street, Swan-street . [ ] 32 me. pp . 1- At this time of day it is difficult to believe that groups of men would unite in singing some of the "hymns" collected in this book . Ii a man is known by the company he keeps then Taylor is found here in very good com- pany indeed . The best hymns are by Burns, Campbell, Ebenez .r Elliott, Thomas Cooper, 2 and Robert Nicoll . The contributions of J. K. Taylor are not the worst in the book, but the following samples of his quality will suffice : - Hymn, 3-page 5 . Chartist Hymn (S.M.). 1 What can withstand the power, When Britain's sons unite, Throughout this empire in one hour, For to assert their right. (4 stanzas, signed J. K. Taylor, Heywood.)

Discharges and Consents 4.1 Authority Sewage Treatment Works 4.2 Authority Trade Effluent Discharges 4.3 Private Trade Effluent Discharges 4.4 Private Sewage Treatment Works 4 .5 Storm Sewage Overflows 5. Special Cases MARCH 1979 Introduction The purpose of this Report is to make recommendations for the revision of consents for discharges within the catchment of the River Irwell, downstream to and including the River Medlock in Manchester. This revision has the sole objective of recognising the present effluent and river water quality - proposals for long term river water quality objectives are to be put forward in other Reports. The report identifies the existing situation regarding the legal status of effluent discharges from Authority and non-Authority owned installations within the catchment, details the determinand concentration limits included in existing discharge consents (where appropriate) and proposes the limits to be included in the reviewed consents. The reviewed consents will reflect the quality of efflu­ ent achievable by good operation of the existing plant based on 1977 effluent quality data but taking into account any improvements, extensions etc. that have been or are about to be carried out and any known further industrial and/or housing development in the works drainage area. The proposed limits are intended to be the 95% compliance figures rather than the 80% compliance figures inferred in existing consents and hence the new figures will obviously be higher than the old.
