  • Miles Platting, Newton Heath, Moston & City Centre Neighbourhood
    Miles Platting, Newton Heath, Moston & City Centre Neighbourhood Health & Social Care Profile Miles Platting, Newton Heath, Moston & City Centre - Health & Social Care Cohort Profile December 2019 Page 1 Introduction to MHCC Neighbourhood & Cohort Profile Reports The Locality Plan developed by Health & Social Care commissioners in Manchester sets an ambition that those sections of the population most at risk of needing care will have access to more proactive care, available in their local communities. The key transformation is the establishment of 12 Integrated Neighbourhood Teams across the City based on geographical area as opposed to organisation. The teams focus on the place and people that they serve, centred around the ethos that ‘The best bed is your own bed’ wherever possible and care should be closer to home rather than delivered within a hospital or care home. The ambition of this model is to place primary care (GP) services at the heart of an integrated neighbourhood model of care in which they are co-located with community teams. These teams could include Community Pharmacists, Allied Health Professionals (AHPs), Community Nursing, Social Care Officers, Intermediate Care teams, Leisure and health promotion teams, Ambulance teams and 3rd sector teams, with a link to educational and employment teams. All services are based upon a 12/3/1 model of provision, where most services should be delivered at the neighbourhood* level (12) unless they require economies of scale at a specialist local level (3), or a single City-wide level

  • Manchester Urban Historic Landscape Characterisation Section 7
    7 Manchester’s Historic Character – Analysis and Recommendations 7.1 Unenclosed land broad type Figure 4 The area of the former Shadow Moss is indicated by the distinctive field boundary patterns depicted on OS 6” 1 st edition mapping of c1882 Description This character type comprises areas that are currently of low economic value and where there is little or no settlement. It includes marginal land such as open mossland and marsh, and other unimproved land which may nonetheless be exploited, such as common land, pasture and moorland. Unenclosed land only occurs in Manchester district as a previous type. 7.1.1 Open moorland Description and historical context Moorland does not exist as a current type within the Manchester landscape; it appears as a previous type only in the Baguley Moor area. Some areas of the former moorland have not been developed and although their character has changed, they may still contain palaeoenvironmental and archaeological evidence. 27 For example, the playing fields associated with Brookway High School (HLC Ref HGM13548) and the playing fields east of Church Stoke Walk (HLC Ref HGM13842) have both been enclosed from farmland that was formerly moorland. 7.1.2 Mossland Description and historical context Although there is no surviving untouched mossland in Manchester, there were several mosses in the district in the past. Mossland has thus been recorded as a previous rather than a current character type. Like the upland moors, the former lowland mosses were probably enclosed at a relatively late date. The three main former mosses in Manchester are Hough Moss in the area which is now Moss Side and Whalley Range; Shadow Moss, near Moss Nook and Manchester Airport in the south of the district; and White Moss, near Charlestown in the northern part of the district.

  • First Shoots of Nature Takeover Appear in Moss Side As Part of City- Wide Programme to Help Residents Respond to the Climate Emergency
    First shoots of Nature Takeover appear in Moss Side as part of city- wide programme to help residents respond to the climate emergency • Interactive “Sensory Structure” unveiled to engage residents on plans to green Moss Side • Initiative launches Manchester-wide drive to tackle climate change An eye-catching, interactive “Sensory Structure” has appeared today in Moss Side Community Park (1), encouraging local people to consider what they want to see, hear, taste, feel and smell as part of a Nature Takeover planned for Moss Side and across the city throughout the year. The Nature Takeover aims to bring nature closer to the residents of Moss Side; creating pockets of green and wildlife habitats in unexpected places; transforming disused patches of land and inspiring people through arts, design and creative tech solutions to notice and make the most of nature around them. The Nature Takeover is part of a new and innovative programme called “In Our Nature” which aims to trial climate friendly ways of living, and support people to make better lifestyle choices that help the environment and tackle climate change. The Sensory Structure was created by Playground Design Studio and encourages people to vote on what they want to experience – for example do they want to hear buzzing, tweeting, crunching or flowing water? Do they want to smell citrus, minty, floral or aromatic scents? And there’s opportunity for residents to suggest their own ideas too. In addition, 500 free plants are being given out today to help local residents make their homes greener and wilder. Following today’s launch, the installation will be in place until Sunday 18th July for locals to visit, and social enterprise Sow the City will be running free drop-in events and workshops to give residents the opportunity to get in touch with their senses and have their say about what they’d like to see in Moss Side.

Introduction Winter can be a wonderful time of year filled with Christmas treats, time with family, and cosying up with friends on the coldest days. But of course not everyone looks forward to winter. For many of our older neighbours across Manchester, the dark days and freezing temperatures can be isolating – and can put neighbours' health, wellbeing, financial stability and social connection at risk. Short days and icy pavements can make getting out – even to do the weekly food shop – feel daunting. The city can feel alienating to those who have little or no connection to the people around them; confronted with streets and buildings that are rapidly changing. Many find it difficult to access resources that make life easier or enjoy the human interactions that make life worth living, and high heating bills can deepen the challenges associated with the colder months. For those people, winter can be the most isolating and worrying time of the year. This is why Manchester Cares launched its third Winter Wellbeing project in October 2019. From Whalley Range, Rusholme and Withington, to Ancoats, Miles Platting and Beswick, and everywhere in between, we have connected – through proactive outreach – with older neighbours who are most at risk of being left behind as the days get shorter and nights get colder.
