Herbert Sent: 24 September 2013 15:08 To: Tony Oakman; Charles Stewart; Ruth Jenkins; Deborah Griffiths Cc: Andrew Brunt; Tracey Harrison; John van de Laarschot Subject: RE: Interview on Problem Families Entirely understood. If we can suggest topics, fit the member and the officer to the topic and plan this weeks in advance, then this will work better. Could the team come up with topics and angles and I can propose these to Philip to plan into their schedule weeks in advance? Here is what I have suggested in the past. No 1 has been done. 1. Energy – this one he wants to do next Wednesday night based on our front page today in the Sentinel – ECO energy insulation of hundreds of homes. Seems a perfect fit for Andy Platt – plus it is the day after we go live with out CBM – Six Towns knows nothing of this yet. Other guests would be energy academics, business leaders, fuel poverty campaigners etc. 2. Business – brining in LEP reps, progressive business people, business academics and of course a cabinet member. Issues – try to focus on companies that are thriving – hopes for new business, regeneration aspiration – reality checks. Perhaps hosted at Michelin or 3. Education and innovation – future generations of creatives – perhaps hosted at one of our new revamped schools or the University. Making the links between investing in education, schools, links to business – students with great ideas etc. 4. Environment – Stoke as a great place to live – our parks, green spaces, biodiversity, the Village Show and allotments, community groups, gardening competition and Chelsea, cycling and transport. Green companies and new business opportunities – hence link into other areas. Perhaps at Burslem Park. 5. Community and housing – rebuilding the community spirit, neighbourhoods – community groups, housing associations, architecture experts – local community centre where we are investing in homes. Other suggestions could be : 1. Fostering and adoption – issues, difficulties, cultural issues personal stories and challenges for the future. 2. Culture – what role for art, music and culture in the future of the city. Our new artists. Cermaics. Is it the role of business or the council? Any other ideas and comments please?

Herbert; Ruth Jenkins; Deborah Griffiths Cc: Andrew Brunt; Tracey Harrison; John van de Laarschot Subject: Re: Interview on Problem Families 1 For the record looking at the email trail this is confusing two issues. In essence, I fully support the positives and merits of good media relationship, that's a given. What is an issue is about priority, purpose and relevance as discussed at CDB this am. The specifics for me still to be clarified : 1. What is the County's involvement in 6 town radio, who are they fielding any links back to PCC? 2. Given lack of portfolio holder engagement, I don't want the business getting caught in the cross fire of member / officer led approach ? This is particularly true in regard to early intervention/ prevention aspects which is high on the PCC agenda, which may or may not be relevant to the conversation and which is fraught with political sensitivities. 2. What is the angle and purpose of the approach? Are we fielding the right officer ? We are keen to work in partnership to develop positive media promotion, if we can get clarification and assurances we will be fine.

Herbert Sent: 24 September 2013 09:45 To: Ruth Jenkins; Tony Oakman; Deborah Griffiths Cc: Charles Stewart; Andrew Brunt; Tracey Harrison Subject: RE: Interview on Problem Families Dear all, I understand your concerns, but I genuinely believe that positive engagement is the only way to get the media on our side. I think the risks of non-engagement are greater and create hostility and lack of trust on both sides. 6 Towns is a small community radio station. It’s quirky but it’s a good practise ground for officers and councillors with minimum risk – but also they do have an influence with thousands of followers in the social media field. By providing regular help and support to he has really started to be more appreciative of the work we do and wants to work with to develop a series of programmes on issues that we are involved in. We have been successful so far not only in getting some positive coverage but also in building a more positive and sympathetic relationship with a local opinion former, even if his personal views may not be entirely politically correct. PR is as much about diplomacy and relationship development as message management. Very best wishes Jeremy 2 From: Ruth Jenkins Sent: 24 September 2013 09:26 To: Jeremy M.

Local travel patterns are dominated by short car trips, despite a reliance on sustainable travel modes for many journeys. Focussed on a cross-boundary economic growth corridor, the package will help to connect local residents, particularly employees, job seekers and people in further/higher education to the opportunities available at two universities and colleges, the University Hospital and significant employment areas. This key corridor will be enhanced with traffic management, bus priority, improved bus services, passenger information and safe pedestrian environments.

  • History of St Marys
    The Dawn of Catholicism in North Staffordshire A Cistercian abbey of St Mary by the Trent at Hulton was founded by Henry de Audley in 1223 & soon after they established a grange (farm) at Rushton on the hillside below Cobridge. In 1538 during the Reformation Hulton Abbey was dissolved with its properties taken by the Crown & subsequently sold, but it’s grange at Rushton was the key to the survival & eventual revival of Catholicism in Stoke. Over the next few centuries the grange passed through many hands including the Biddulph & Bagnall families who were both Catholics. In 1688 the grange was ransacked by a Protestant mob as it had become well known as a Catholic centre By the early 18th century Rushton Grange, Cobridge had become a Mass centre but only became a parish in 1760 when Fr Thomas Flynn came to the district as a resident priest, he probably lived in Burslem although said Mass in the Chapel at Rushton Grange that was part of an old Cistercian farm. In 1781 a new chapel was opened on the hill above the Grange, this was St Peter’s Church, Cobridge. Hard as it is for us to comprehend it was not until 1791 that saying Mass became legal & Catholic worship was once more recognised by the laws of England. Then it was not until 1829 following an Act Of Parliament that Catholics received back their civil rights & with it their right to vote. After a period of persecution of almost 300 years was an amazing journey through which all the Parishes in the North of Stoke can trace their roots, roots that go all the way back to St Mary by the Trent way back in 1223.

Some knew what to expect, having experienced this pilgrimage before, but for others, it was brand new. For everyone however, the memories from this special trip would certainly be unique and extraordinary. A mini bus journey to Stanstead airport was full of excitement and trepidation, but before we knew it we were on the plane and on our way to Lourdes! We arrived at the hotel before lunchtime and explored the area before the pilgrimage officially began on the Sunday. Our first duty was to welcome all schools in the Diocese to the introductory Mass, then later on we observed the torchlight procession at the heart of Domain, which was magical. Seeing hundreds of people come together in faith and unity clutching candles, representing their love and commitment was incredible. Other duties throughout the week included leading Grace at the Accueil (this is a hospital based in the Domain, near to the churches.
