Annual Report 2018 ANNUAL REPORT 2018 –19 A WORD FROM OUR CHAIR A new chapter for Southport BID as one ends. During May, a ballot was held to decide whether Southport BID continued for a second five-year term, from 1st November 2019 until October 2024. 58% of the voting levy payers returned a yes vote, and we are hugely grateful for this show of confidence in us for the future. Ballot papers were distributed to each eligible business, and each eligible property had one vote regardless of size. Landlords and occupiers with more than one property received one vote per site. The vote was conducted independently by the Electoral Reform Service in London. We are grateful for the show of support the levy payers gave us in voting for a second term. We know there have been challenges but we are determined to evolve and build on the achievements of the first five years and make Southport an inspiring place to live, work, shop and invest. Like many UK seaside towns Southport was developed in the 19th Century to serve the expanding tourist market, decline began in these towns in the 1970s and we now face economic and social challenges. I know many levy payers and residents feel that our unique selling points have diminished but our seaside and our coastal heritage are part of our greatest assets. Successful regeneration depends on us all working together on a package of measures involving a public/private partnership to encourage growth and development. Our collective aim must be to produce effective regeneration for our beautiful town and to #standupforsouthport. We will be listening closely to the views of the levy payers to make sure the projects we invest in represent their priorities for the town Chairman Rob Uffendell to give people a chance to talk to us, be heard and be actively involved in our projects and will introduce working groups going forward, please get involved. We want to work harder to talk to our levy payers and the wider Southport Community, constructively and positively. The BID’s website is full of information about projects and how levy money is spent, and we will be ensuring we have full transparency. Signing up to our email updates is another great way to stay part of the conversation. My door is open too, and levy payer wanting to discuss the new term should email me on [email protected] and I am happy to arrange a chat! As someone who lives and works within the town centre, I am accessible and willing to talk Susannah Porter, Interim Chair CONTENT Who we are 4 What we delivered 5 Adding value through events 6 Making southport cleaner, safer and greener 8 Supporting and attracting investment 9 A new chapter: the next five years 12 How we invested in Year Three 14 How to get in touch 15 Chairman Rob Uffendell WHO WE ARE Directors 2018 -2019 The Southport BID Board is made up of representatives from the local business community who offer their time and Susannah Porter, Remedy Alex Hatchman, Fletchers expertise to oversee the activity of the BID.

  • Shining Lights Newsletter April 2017 Celebrating Success
    Shining Lights Newsletter April 2017 Celebrating success Although it’s only been 8 weeks since our last Shining Lights newsletter there is SO much to celebrate this term. From charity fundraising to individual and team excellence we hope you enjoy reading all about the activities and events that took place during the Spring Term. GCSE Results Officially Top Class Earlier this month, The Department for Education confirmed how superb our results were last year in the published School Performance Tables. We knew they were good at the time but looking at the table opposite only serves to remind us how great they truly were. Progress 8 is the new measure for secondary schools and our result of +0.23 simply means that on average our pupils got a quarter of their GCSEs grades higher in each subject compared to all other pupils nationally. A great achievement! Teacher of the Year 2017 - Mrs Hall, we love you! A huge congratulations to Mrs Hall on becoming Teacher of the Year 2017. The award, presented by Rock FM, celebrates heroes from across Lancashire who have been honoured for their courage, selflessness and charity endeavours. This year’s award ceremony for the annual Rock FM Cash 4 Kids Time to Shine awards took place at the Blackpool Tower Ballroom. We are extremely proud of Mrs Hall and want to celebrate and thank her for all that she does in and out of school. She is truly amazing! Journey to Sanctuary Exhibition During the first week of Lent we hosted the 'Journey to Sanctuary' exhibition in school.

  • Ashton Highlightshighlights
    AshtonAshton HighlightsHighlights Newsletter 11 Friday 12th December 2014 It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas here at Ashton. In the newsletter this week you can read all about the range of activities our staff and students have taken part in to spread the seasonal message of peace and goodwill to all. You may recall in the last edition I mentioned we were welcoming some very special visitors to school this week as part of the Ashton Methodist Church Posada. You can see more of how their day was spent on page 3, but suffice to say all those who were in contact with our visitors had an opportunity to reflect on the purpose of their visit and will not forget their experience. When you look at the timetable of events for the day you will also have a good insight into a day in the life of an Ashton student; really quite revealing. Our SCAMPs programme continues to thrive and in this edition you will see how two new additions to the programme are faring. Running Club goes from strength to strength, with numbers increasing each week, see page 4 if you would like to join in. The SJA (St John Ambulance) unit also continues to thrive, with a committed group of staff and students working their way steadily through the training that will see them achieve a first aid qualification that may one day save a life. Truly remarkable determination to make a dif- ference to others can be seen every time that group meet. As we move into the final week of the school term, I would like to remind you one last time that tickets are still available for A Cosy Christmas, but they are selling fast.
