As part of the governments #buildbackbetter initiative, the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government in association with Historic England, provided £1.5m to 22 areas to develop their Local Lists. Peterborough was successful in its bid and has received £38,000. These 22 areas, which also includes the neighbouring Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire are test pilots in investigating different ways in which Local Lists can be developed and improved upon. The two main strands of Peterborough’s bid were its record of being at the forefront of the development of Local Lists and its proposed innovation with regard its digital submission. Peterborough was one on the first adopters of the Local List, and has been periodically adding new entries since its first adoption in 2012. Although the adopted heritage assets are concentrated in and around the city centre, the ratio of Locally Listed builds to statutorily Listed buildings of 30% is of a higher magnitude than the majority of other Local List’, demonstrating its extent. This percentage is simply a good baseline for which the project aims to substantially improve.

  • Executive Summary and Overview by the Chief Executive
    Appendix 1: Proposed Vivacity Business Plan 24.2.1 Executive Summary and Overview By The Chief Executive The next five years is a story with two themes. The first is one of business as usual. Given the nature of our work this is not surprising. The day to day work of Vivacity remains unchanged- lending almost 1 million items through our libraries; teaching 1500 children a week to swim; providing 1million people the opportunity to take part in sport; approaching 100,000 people learning about their local heritage and 55,000 theatre tickets sold each year. The second theme is one of change brought about by opportunities. Most significantly: Development of Hampton Leisure Facilities - It is probable that the management of two new leisure facilities will be offered to Vivacity in the summer of 2013. This will generate fantastic new opportunities for people to take part and increase our turnover dramatically and hence make a significant contribution to our central support costs. This must be balanced by the knowledge that it will bring tangible risks- the business model is primarily based on the selling of gym memberships in other words a non- fixed income. It is crucial that we approach the opportunity presented by these facilities with business focus rather than being attracted by the opportunity of growth for its own sake. If these projects move forward they will become the main focus of effort in 2013 and 2014. Must Farm Finds - The long term future for the Must Farm find is far from clear. What is known is that Flag Fen offers up a medium and perhaps longer term opportunity for the preservation and presentation of these fantastic artefacts.

  • Perceptions of Medieval Settlement, 'Handbook of Later Medieval Archaeology', Oxford University Press (In Press)
    Chapter accepted in Kilby, SE;Gardiner, M, Perceptions of Medieval Settlement, 'Handbook of Later Medieval Archaeology', Oxford University Press (in press) Perceptions of Medieval Settlement Mark Gardiner and Susan Kilby The approach to the perception of landscape and settlement adopted by medieval archaeologists has been rather different to those of their colleagues working on the prehistoric period. To a large extent such differences can be attributed to the quality of the evidence. Many of the studied medieval buildings still survive, albeit often as ruins. The landscape with its pattern of roads, fields and farms can be largely reconstructed in broad terms, and sometimes in detail. This sort of material both informs our understanding of past perceptions of landscape, but also serves to constrain the way we might interpret it. The type of imaginative reconstruction advocated, for example by Tilley (2010, 30–31), in which the archaeologist places themselves within the landscape and responds to the experience has been practised only rarely for the historic period. It is not that medievalists lack the imagination of prehistorians, but rather they do not feel the need to embark upon discussions of their particular experience of place when it is possible instead to reflect upon how those in the Middle Ages may have perceived their surroundings. A simple contrast between the medievalists’ and the prehistorians’ approaches to the perception of landscape is, however, misleading. Embodiment or the experience of place using the senses of the body occupying and moving through a place has been practised by both groups, but with different emphases. To stand in a medieval building and look out at the vista beyond is to adopt a phenomenological approach.

  • Greenwood Academies Trust
    A proposal for two new Primary Free Schools for Northampton Upton Park & Moulton ‘Be Inspired’ About the Greenwood Academies Trust Greenwood Academies Trust The Greenwood Academies Trust (GAT) successfully sponsors 35 open academies, educating over 17,000 pupils across seven local authority areas, including Nottingham City, Nottingham- shire, Leicester City, Northamptonshire, Peterborough, Lincolnshire and Central Bedfordshire. The Greenwood Academies Trust is a ‘not for profit’ organisation. Any income received is spent for the benefit of our pupils. For more information about the Trust please visit www.greenwoodacademies.org Wayne Norrie, CEO Our Academies Our academies are led by outstanding Principals. Whilst working to achieve our organisational core values, each Principal is free to develop the curriculum and structures within their own academy to best serve their community. The Trust does not impose a standard central curriculum or structure. We have created a Trust where each academy can evolve individually, developing best practice that can be shared both within the Trust and more widely.

    6.0 SUMMARY OF ISSUES 6.01 The new public realm works to Cathedral Square, St John’s Square, Cowgate, Long Causeway and Bridge Street and architectural lighting for aesthetic effect have brought about significant enhancement, creating attractive places. Westgate Broadway and Midgate (adjacent to the Conservation Area) are programmed for improvement under the Public Realm Strategy in the next couple of years. 6.02 The pedestrianisation of the principal shopping streets within the city centre has had a major positive impact on the ability to enjoy the historic environment and spaces within these parts of the Conservation Area. Elsewhere, although it can create a lively bustle and give animation to the streets, traffic more often detracts from the character and setting of the Conservation Area. On-street car parking is visually intrusive along Cowgate and the busy bus and taxi route of Broadway and Westgate is distracting and gives rise to unattractive and cluttering guardrails and traffic signs. 6.03 Vacancy at ground floor level is not at present a concern throughout the Conservation Area, although there are a small number of vacant retail units. Vacancy appears to be a greater problem at upper floor level above ground floor retail units. This presents a threat to the long-term survival of such buildings through a lack of regular maintenance and investment. There are few long- term vacant historic buildings within the Conservation Area, with two notable exceptions being Nos. 51 and 55 Priestgate. 6.04 The impact of Bourges Boulevard is severe and has a profound detrimental impact across the periphery of the Conservation Area, with severe negative impacts on Cowgate, Priestgate and Bridge Street.
