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 Some data will be out-of-date or incorrect as soon as it’s printed or written, and we apologise for any errors or omissions.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.

  • Waverton Parish Cycling Plan
    WAVERTON PARISH CYCLING PLAN Introduction The purpose of the plan is to reduce the dependence on car travel within the area of the parish in order to increase Active Travel. The plan considers short trips to places of education, shops, workplaces, recreation, worship etc. It also considers longer routes from the community to the city centre, railway station etc. There is a strong dependence on the suitability of cycling infrastructure in adjacent parishes to achieve a coordinated network. Hence it was decided that the parishes of Waverton, Christleton, Littleton, Huntington, and Great Boughton would each have a Cycling Plan developed simultaneously. This report for Waverton should therefore be read in conjunction with the other parish reports. At the end of the combined summary report ( not this Waverton PC Report ) there is a conclusion with recommendations for the whole area with a map showing the locations of suggested improvements to the whole area. Existing Cycle Routes The village is located on Cycle Regional Route 70 which is also known as the Cheshire Cycleway. This route follows Common Lane, Eggbridge Road, Brown Heath Road and Plough Lane. Eggbridge car park is the start of the Cheshire West and Chester Council’s Brown Route following the canal towpath to the city centre. Condition of Cycle Routes Regional Route 70 - The junction of Plough Lane and Brown Heath Road is difficult for cyclists when travelling to Waverton due to the poor sight lines caused by the hedge-refer Christleton PC report. Brown Route- The canal towpath route suffers from an initial section where two cyclists cannot pass each other due to the overhanging hedges from properties at St Georges Crescent.

Hugh Bourne was born in North Staffordshire on 3rd April 1772 and the area around Bemersley and Englesea Brook in South Cheshire where he settled has a very special significance for the people called Primitive Methodists. He is associated with the movement of revival which started in that area over 200 years ago and played a central role, along with his colleague William Clowes, until his death in 1852. He died that year on 11th October and there was a tremendous outpouring of grief. On the day of his funeral on the 17th, folk gathered at his brother James` brother`s house in Bemersley and then there was a procession from there to Englesea Brook where he had requested to be buried. Sunday School children joined this and sang along the way. The echo went up: “Mortals cry, a man is dead! Angels sing, a child is born!” His parents Joseph and Ellen made sure that he had a good education, in a Church school.
