Development and Capacity Build Lead Post - concerns that the JD does not reflect the Service Improvement Action Plan and does not reflect the integrated work of the service over the last 18 months. It was further suggested that Management re- assess the Capacity Building post to look to realign in light of work that has been developed over the last 18 months in conjunction with the SIAP and integrated work of the 5-19 service and Sport, Health and Inclusion Service. 2. Comprehensive Spending Review Consultation - Unison request management undertake a meaningful consultation with Partners once the results of the Comprehensive Spending Review are available to present partners with the accurate picture on what the service will be delivering, what will be stopping and what will be reduced. 3. Counselling Service - that the proposal will effectively end the in-house delivered counselling service delivered to some of the most vulnerable in our community, with a negative detrimental impact on what they will be able to access in the future. 4. Youth Initiatives Service and Post – Unison suggest that management consider how this post or a new post can be sustained by the use of the funds from a vacancy within the Early Intervention Service and other funds assigned to the delivery aspects of the enterprise scheme which do not appear to have been picked up in the review. 5. Principal Sport Development Offices - Unison requests consideration is given to the Sport Health & Inclusion recommendations of a reduction of 1 PSDO leaving 3 in the service. This will allow time for the Bolton Community Leisure Trust (BCLT) option to be explored and a balanced view being taken on what the Comprehensive Spending Review will provide for. 6. Bolton Community Leisure Trust Development - Unison request consideration is given the development of the further partnership between the Council and the Trust. 7. Individual HR Issues – These have been addressed through the Management response. 4.4 Stakeholder Online Consultation - Questionnaire - A total of 24 completed stakeholder online questionnaires were received, although respondents may have raised more than one issue. The respondents were as follows: Respondent Number Member of the public* 5 Council member's of staff 8 Partner, organisation representative, voluntary or community group 11 Total 24 *having read the comments it is clear that these respondents are children / young people who currently use the service 5 Integration of Sport, Health & Inclusion, Play and Youth Service Review

Lowry: Class, Mass Spectatorship and the Image at The Lowry, Salford, UK Zoë Thompson School of Cultural Studies and Humanities, Leeds Metropolitan University, Broadcasting Place A214, Woodhouse Lane, Leeds, LS2 9EN, UK; E-Mail: [email protected]; Tel.: +44-0113-812-5721 Received: 4 September 2013; in revised form: 16 October 2013 / Accepted: 17 October 2013 / Published: 18 October 2013 Abstract: In a series of momentary encounters with the surface details of The Lowry Centre, a cultural venue located in Salford, Greater Manchester, UK, this article considers the fate of the image evoked by the centre’s production and staging of cultural experience. Benjamin’s notion of ‘aura’ as inimical to transformations of art and cultural spectatorship is explored, alongside its fatal incarnation in Baudrillard’s concept of ‘simulation’. L.S. Lowry, I argue, occupies the space as a medium: both as a central figure of transmission of the centre’s narrative of inclusivity through cultural regeneration, and as one who communes with phantoms: remainders of the working-class life and culture that once occupied this locale. Through an exploration of various installations there in his name, Lowry is configured as a ‘destructive character’, who, by making possible an alternative route through its spaces, refuses to allow The Lowry Centre to insulate itself from its locale and the debt it owes to its past. Keywords: aura; simulation; The Lowry; cultural regeneration; haunting; class I have been called a painter of Manchester workpeople.

  • Lancashire: a Chronology of Flash Flooding
    LANCASHIRE: A CHRONOLOGY OF FLASH FLOODING Introduction The past focus on the history of flooding has been mainly with respect to flooding from the overflow of rivers and with respect to the peak level that these floods have achieved. The Chronology of British Hydrological Events provides a reasonably comprehensive record of such events throughout Great Britain. Over the last 60 years the river gauging network provides a detailed record of the occurrence of river flows and peak levels and flows are summaried in HiflowsUK. However there has been recent recognition that much flooding of property occurs from surface water flooding, often far from rivers. Locally intense rainfall causes severe flooding of property and land as water concentrates and finds pathways along roads and depressions in the landscape. In addition, intense rainfall can also cause rapid rise in level and discharge in rivers causing a danger to the public even though the associated peak level is not critical. In extreme cases rapid rise in river level may be manifested as a ‘wall of water’ with near instantaneous rise in level of a metre or more. Such events are usually convective and may be accompanied by destructive hail or cause severe erosion of hillsides and agricultural land. There have been no previous compilations of historical records of such ‘flash floods’or even of more recent occurrences. It is therefore difficult to judge whether a recent event is unusual or even unique in terms of the level reached at a particular location or more broadly of regional severity. This chronology of flash floods is provided in order to enable comparisons to be made between recent and historical floods, to judge rarity and from a practical point of view to assess the adequacy of urban drainage networks.

  • The Use of Visual Data to Explore Invisible Nationalism
    The Use of Visual Data to Explore Invisible Nationalism © 2019 SAGE Publications, Ltd. All Rights Reserved. This PDF has been generated from SAGE Research Methods Datasets. SAGE SAGE Research Methods Datasets Part 2019 SAGE Publications, Ltd. All Rights Reserved. 2 The Use of Visual Data to Explore Invisible Nationalism Student Guide Introduction The dataset explores how the photographs utilised in the article “Football, the Military and Invisible Nationalism in Contemporary Britain” published in Armed Forces & Society in 2016 were created, selected, and incorporated within a wider hermeneutic enterprise designed to probe “invisible nationalism.” The dataset emphasises that the meaning of these photographs can only be understood within the wider context of the sociological narrative within which they are embedded. This narrative was the product of employing a wide range of sociological concepts and research techniques which included observation, interviews, focus groups, and historical research. The photographs came from a variety of sources. The majority were taken by Roger Penn, but others were supplied by specific football clubs in England. These latter photographs were not taken with any sociological intent but rather for matters internal to these clubs themselves. The overall topic for the research lay at the interface of the sociology of sport and the sociology of the military but, more widely, sits within the parameters of cultural and visual sociology. The Use of Visual Data to Explore Invisible Nationalism The use of visual materials is relatively uncommon in the sociology of sport and almost non-existent in the sociology of the military. This is perhaps surprising given the highly visual nature of contemporary sport.
