At the moment we are in Purdah – the pre-election period. Specifically the time between the announcement of an election and the final election results which affects civil servants (but not candidates). The time period prevents central and local government from making announcements about any new or controversial government initiatives (such as modernisation initiatives or administrative and legislative changes) which could be seen to be advantageous to any candidates or parties in the forthcoming election. Where a court determines that actual advantage has been given to a candidate, this may amount to a breach of Section 2 of the Local Government Act 1986. GENERAL ADVERTISING IN THE VILLAGE If you wish to put up A-Frames or banners around the village please contact Naomi, our Parish Clerk, first. Please do not attach general event posters to the railings. Please use the Public Noticeboard at Rayners Corner for these (using the magnets provided – not sticky tape or glue as it damages the surface of the notice board). Please don’t remove the magnets either, please leave them for other people to use. WINCHAM AND THE JET ENGINE – YOUR HELP PLEASE. We know that between 1940-1949, there was testing and making of Jet Engines in Wincham. At the time, this was very secretive but we are now wanting to honour Wincham’s amazing involvement in Aviation History. Did you work there, did any of your family members work there, have you any photos of the site or have you some interesting anecdotes to share? Please do get in touch with us [email protected]. We would love to hear from you. Page 3 Ongoing issues and updates LINNARDS LANE AND CHAPEL STREET PLAYING FIELDS Every month, the Parish Councillors take it in turn to inspect the playing fields and complete a RoSPA form. If however you see something in the Playing Fields that you feel needs urgent attention, please contact our Parish Clerk, Naomi Morris, as soon as possible (0161 926 8645 - [email protected]). Our new picnic benches, seats and games table have arrived, just in time for the Easter Holidays. The new roundabout is on order (to replace the current sand-pit). We hope to have it in situ in readiness for the summer. Page 4 CRTA WINCHAM CRTA - What's that? You may have seen banners around the village advertising CRTA events, and many of you will have attended them. But just what does CRTA mean? CRTA is one of thirty-three Rural Touring Schemes across the UK. The project delivers high quality professional theatre, dance, music and children's shows over two seasons each year to Cheshire's rural communities. The events are made possible by volunteers in those communities, who promote and organise them. The project is supported with government investment by Arts Council England, with additional financial support from Cheshire West and East Councils. In short, here in Wincham, we get the chance to see quality, professional productions at reasonable prices - no need to travel to the big city, and a chance to enjoy a night out with friends and family or rub shoulders with other local people. Seating is often arranged around tables - if you would like to book a table or would like to team up with others and make new friends, just let the organiser know when you book. Page 5 Frank Smith Wincham Parish Council mourns the loss of our former colleague and friend, Frank Smith, a long serving and dedicated Parish Councillor, with the interests of the village close to his heart. He will be missed by current and former Parish Councillors, and also by other societies with whom he was involved, including the Rotary Club for over 40 years. He was recognised as a Paul Harris Fellow by the Northwich Vale Royal Rotary Club – a great honour. He had a keen interest in environmental issues and an extensive knowledge of flora and fauna. Any problems or Issues affecting the lake at Pickmere, or the flashes and he would be the first to offer advice and strong opinions to protect the environment.

Page 6 Frank Smith Frank was granted the Freedom of the Village of Wincham in November 2016 When I joined the Parish Council 10 years ago, he was very welcoming and helped me settle in quickly to the customs and rules of Parish Council business. Frank has been missed in the last couple of years being absent with his failing health, and we will miss him in the future. Kenton Barker Vice Chairman – Wincham Parish Council Frank receives his award , ‘The Freedom of Wincham’ from Parish Council Chairman Ian Parr - 2016 Page 7 Page 8 Page 9 Public Rights of Way in Wincham Pickmere boardwalk The Pickmere Lake boardwalk, which lies within the parish of Wincham, has been repaired. Barbed wire Please take care on the permissive footpath on the opposite side of the lake, as there is barbed wire from an old fence concealed in the undergrowth at the side of the path. We suggest you keep to the path, keep dogs on a lead and supervise children when using this path. New access to Trent and Mersey Canal We are delighted to note that there is now a gate and stepped access from the canal bridge on Wincham Lane to the Trent and Mersey Canal towpath. It had not been possible to access the canal safely at this point for a number of years since the demolition of the derelict Wincham Inn on the other side of the road. Page 10 Public Rights of Way in Wincham David Hewitt from Thor tells us that the company decided to install the steps whilst working on land adjacent to the canal, having noticed that people were finding their way down a steep and muddy slope to reach the canal bank. The steps are a great asset to Wincham's network of Public Rights of Way and towpaths. Thor has also cleared a section of Public Right of Way by the footbridge over the canal and laid chippings to improve the surface. Many thanks to Thor for these improvements. Fancy a tidy-up? Some of our Public Rights of Way, in particular the footpath from Wincham Lane to the back of Thor's site, are in need of a litter-pick. This particular route should be looking good at this time of year, as it is planted with apple trees and shrubs, but it's not at its best! If you would like to help to clean up here or elsewhere in the village, please contact Sue on 01565 734366 to equip yourself for the task. Footpath highlights Our rural footpaths change with the seasons. Whilst hundreds of snowdrops graced the footpath from Earles Lane to the top of the lake earlier this year, a current highlight is the marsh marigolds by the Pickmere Lake boardwalk. Page 11 Wincham Resident Helen Morgan celebrates book launch Wincham resident Helen Morgan is celebrating the launch of the first of her series of books written for children – and parents! Whilst the inspiration for Helen's stories came from her own son and daughter, she wanted to focus on situations which parents could relate to – including the familiar trials and tribulations of getting ready for school in the morning. 'Mum, I Can't Find My Toothbrush!' - the title of Helen's first publication – will be a familiar cry in many homes. Helen grew up in Wincham and moved back here with her young family, as she wanted them to grow up in the environment she had enjoyed as a child and to attend the village school. Helen says 'I've always felt I had a book in me. About three years ago, I decided that if I didn't do it, I would always regret it.’ But Helen told no-one of her mission, not even her family, snatching half an hour here or there to write and only revealing her secret when her books had been accepted by Pegasus Publishers. 'I wanted to show my children what you can do when you work hard and believe in something' says Helen. The book is beautifully illustrated by family friend Shelley Roe from Davenham.

  • William Furmval, H. E. Falk and the Salt Chamber of Commerce, 1815-1889: "Ome Chapters in the Economic History of Cheshire
    WILLIAM FURMVAL, H. E. FALK AND THE SALT CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, 1815-1889: "OME CHAPTERS IN THE ECONOMIC HISTORY OF CHESHIRE BY W. H. CHALONER, M.A., PH.D. Read 17 November 1960 N the second volume of his Economic History of Modern I Britain (p. 145), Sir John Clapham, writing of the chambers of commerce and trade associations which multiplied rapidly after 1860, suggested that between 1850 and 1875 "there was rather less co-operation among 'capitalist' producers than there had been in the more difficult first and second quarters" of the nineteenth century. He mentioned that in the British salt industry there had been price-fixing associations "based on a local monopoly" in the early nineteenth century, and added that after 1825 the industry "witnessed alternations of gentle­ men's agreements and 'fighting trade' " until the formation of the Salt Union in 1888. This combine has been called "the first British trust", but to the salt proprietors of the time it was merely "a new device, made easier by limited liability, for handling an old problem". (1) The purpose of this study is to examine in greater detail the business organisation of the natural local monopoly enjoyed by the Cheshire saltmakers in the nineteenth century and to trace the part played by "The Coalition" and the Salt Chamber of Commerce in fostering price regulation and output restriction between the end of the Napoleonic Wars and 1889.< 2 > 111 Op. cit., pp. 147-8; see also Accounts and Papers, 1817, III, 123, p. 22, and E.

This project is part of a wider pan Cheshire audit of youth arts including; a separate document also for East Cheshire, a sub-regional and county wide audit in Cheshire as well as a report analysis recommendations for youth arts for the future. This also precedes the new structure of Cheshire’s two county unitary authorities following LGR into East and West Cheshire and Chester, which will come into being in April 2009 An audit of this kind will never be fully accurate, comprehensive and up-to-date. Some data will be out-of-date or incorrect as soon as it’s printed or written, and we apologise for any errors or omissions. The youth arts audit aims to produce a snapshot of the activity that takes place in West Cheshire provided by the many arts, culture and youth organisations based in the county in the spring and summer of 2008– we hope it is a fair and balanced picture, giving a reasonable impression of the scale and scope of youth arts activities, organisations and opportunities – but it is not entirely exhaustive and does not claim to be.

  • Cheshire West and Chester Property Review 2015
    Cheshire West & Chester Property Review 2015 Visit: cheshirewestandchester.gov.uk 02 Cheshire West & Chester Annual Property Review 2015 Cheshire West and Chester Economy In June, The Telegraph named Cheshire as one of Britain’s ‘classiest counties’, citing the area’s prosperity, outstanding schools and amenities. This recognition of the county’s strengths as a place to live, work and relax is timely as the area’s economy continues to grow and develop. Throughout 2014 investment activity across the borough has focussed on delivering major elements of the Cheshire West and Chester growth strategy. Funding for key infrastructure was secured though the Cheshire and Warrington Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) Local Growth Deal. Further successes have come in the creation of local employment opportunities assisting new businesses and building new homes. The Cheshire and Warrington LEP will look beyond individual projects to create jobs and economic growth across Cheshire. The LEP has ambitious plans for the sub region and aims to grow the local economy by around £15 billion. It has secured £125 million from the government’s Local Growth Fund to improve infrastructure across the region as well as support a number of projects, including the Cheshire Science corridor and the Atlantic Gateway, both of which have involved Cheshire West and Chester Council from the outset. Part of the Local Growth Fund grant will deliver junction improvements to the Chester inner ring road and a new bus interchange, as part of the city’s £300 million Northgate regeneration development. There will also be investment in the Thornton Energy Demonstrator, an energy systems demonstrator site, building on assets left by Shell to the University of Chester.
