  • 5. Network Planning for Walking
    Central Lancashire Walking and Cycling Delivery Plan 5. Network Planning for Walking The future walking network has been derived through identifying those areas which would benefit from creating a sustainable link between trip origins and trip destinations within a reasonable walking distance of approximately 2km. Trip origins predominantly include densely populated residential areas and trip destinations include educational, employment and retail areas which are likely to attract a significant number of trips. As part of this process, funnel routes have been identified which incorporate the route which most pedestrians will follow to access a particular destination, however given the diverse nature of pedestrian movements, the routes do not extend into particular destinations since the route of each individual user will vary depending on their individual trip origin/end. In alignment with LCWIP guidance, Core Walking Zones have also been identified from identifying the area within each town which encompasses the greatest amount of trip attractors and therefore likely the generate the greatest levels of walking. The Four Core Walking Zones (CWZ) identified are: • Preston CWZ; • Lostock Hall CWZ; • Leyland CWZ; and • Chorley CWZ. 41 Central Lancashire Walking and Cycling Delivery Plan 5.1 Proposed Walking Routes 5.1.1 Preston Core Walking Zone Figure 5-1 Preston CWZ / Funnel Routes The Preston CWZ proposals will improve facilities for both pedestrians and cyclists alike, making it safer and easier to access Preston inner city centre, UCLAN, Cardinal Newman College, and transport hubs such as Preston Railway and Bus Stations. Measures predominantly involve pedestrian priority / informal streets, to improve the safety and accessibility of the town centre for pedestrians.

  • PROUD Balshaw's CE High School Parent and Leyland-Based
    PROUD Balshaw's CE High School parent and Leyland-based freelance writer Malcolm Wyatt was invited along to help advise the teams and judge the projects at July 11's South Ribble area AGT event. Here's what he made of the challenge. I DON'T think I'm talking out of turn when I let on that my fellow judge at the Balshaw's-hosted year seven and eight able, gifted and talented (AGT) day confided - as our big announcement loomed - this was the hardest decision she'd ever had to make. Nicola Moulden, an English teacher at Runshaw College, and myself were about to reveal - doing our best to avoid any unnecessary X Factor/Apprentice style build-up - the winners of the spring term's Super Learning event. There were two teams from Balshaw's alone, plus similarly fantastic groups representing Hutton Grammar School, Lostock Hall Academy, and Leyland’s St Mary's Catholic Technology College and Worden Sports College. And believe me, it was no easy task to pick a winner. The level of competition was amazing, and each school involved can be rightly proud of the pupils that represented them, for their courtesy as well as their creative endeavours. The idea, devised by Balshaw's head of English, Mr Purnell, was to write an 800 to 1,000 word story aimed at six to seven-year-old boys and girls, about a family day-trip to a theme park. On the journey there is a problem, and at the park a child goes missing. The teams were also asked to design a front and back cover and poster to advertise the book, and produce a script for a radio advert.

We spent the afternoon listening to what inspired him to write his children’s stories (they are actually based on his two cats!) as well as watching a webinar from his book illustrator who showed us how to draw cartoon illustrations based on his character Toto the Ninja Cat. The books are great and Dermot O’Leary certainly inspired our children to write for themselves and to enjoy reading. Thank you to Sue and Caroline for helping with transport. SPORTS NEWS - FOOTBALL: This Monday was the last of the football tournaments for this academic year. Thank you to all the parents who helped with transport and came to support the team. Adam Metcalf, Oscar’s dad, came to them all and put together a parent’s view report on the year’s acheivements: “It was a pleasure to attend the 3 sessions of the schools football tournament. Given we had a mixture of years 4, 5 and 6 and we were playing teams who looked like mainly year 6, all the boys gave their all with some great performances. They ended up finishing 7th out of 11, with some exciting games. All of them were well mannered and behaved, and did their best without any complaints. WELL DONE ALL ⚽️ ”” The team’s report: “Before Christmas and on the 4th, 11 th SAMLESBURY SUPERSTARS! and 25th of March we competed in a very competitive competition at Lostock Hall Academy.
