  • Electoral Review of Salford City Council
    Electoral review of Salford City Council Response to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England’s consultation on Warding Patterns August 2018 1 1 Executive Summary 1.1 Salford in 2018 has changed dramatically since the city’s previous electoral review of 2002. Salford has seen a turnaround in its fortunes over recent years, reversing decades of population decline and securing high levels of investment. The city is now delivering high levels of growth, in both new housing and new jobs, and is helping to drive forward both Salford’s and the Greater Manchester economies. 1.2 The election of the Greater Manchester Mayor and increased devolution of responsibilities to Greater Manchester, and the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, is fundamentally changing the way Salford City Council works in areas of economic development, transport, work and skills, planning, policing and more recently health and social care. 1.3 Salford’s directly elected City Mayor has galvanised the city around eight core priorities – the Great Eight. Delivering against these core priorities will require the sustained commitment and partnership between councillors, partners in the private, public, community and voluntary and social enterprise sectors, and the city’s residents. This is even more the case in the light of ongoing national policy changes, the impending departure of the UK from the EU, and continued austerity in funding for vital local services. The city’s councillors will have an absolutely central role in delivering against these core priorities, working with all our partners and residents to harness the energies and talents of all of the city.

  • SALFORD HEART CARE ANNUAL REPORT October 2017
    SALFORD HEART CARE ANNUAL REPORT October 2017 - September 2018 An AGM is a time to reflect on the year and a time to look to the future. Several major changes have happened during the last 12 months at Salford Heart Care. In May 2018 we moved out of our office premises at Patricroft URC. The move has enabled us to make savings amounting to more than £3,500 per year whilst reducing the risk associated with negotiating and agreeing terms of a lease agreement with the landlord. We have also established a new Bereavement Support Group and the response to this service has been remarkable. In August we received a visit from Dr Tom Tasker (Chair of Salford NHS CCG). He was very impressed with our work and our social impact, despite the “meagre” funding we require to survive. The City Mayor, Paul Dennett, Cllr Gina Reynolds and the Ceremonial Mayor of Salford have also visited our clubs during the year. We are very sorry to report the following deaths from within our membership during the year: Edna Jary, 5th November 2017 aged 90. Barbara (Liz) Davey, December 2017, aged 72. Joanne Moreton, 23rd January 2018, aged 51. Geraldine Fowler, 24th March 2018, aged 69. Derek Styles, June 2018, aged 60. Sandra Dickenson, 29th June 2018, aged 50. 1. Directors and Committee Members Salford Heart Care has 8 Directors and all currently serve on the Steering Committee. There are no changes to Directors this year. 2. 31st Anniversary and Social Events This year in August, Salford Heart Care celebrated its 31st Anniversary at The Millstones in Harrogate.

  • Response to Salford Draft Local Plan
    Salford Draft Local Plan Consultation Response from Friends of Walkden Station March 2019 Foreword Friends of Walkden Station (FOWS) are an award winning community voluntary group established to make practical environmental improvements to the station and to lobby constructively and effectively for improved facilities and rail services. We are very pleased to respond to the Salford Draft Local Plan consultation. FOWS have enjoyed a good working relationship with Salford City Council over more than a decade, and we greatly value the progress that we have made through constructive engagement with the Council on a range of developments for the station. Some of our most important priorities, such as step free access and park and ride provision, may now be close to coming to fruition. We are now looking to the future. Introduction FOWS endorse the need to produce a coherent and effective Local Plan that sets out how we develop our city in the years to come. We need to be both ambitious and realistic, to ensure that we can look to a future where the whole of Salford benefits from a better, fairer and more prosperous city, with greater opportunities for all. As a group focused on our railways, our response will mainly focus on the transport elements of the plan, and how transport in general, and railways in particular, can provide the fast, efficient and low carbon connectivity that our city will need. We will be making some new proposals which we feel will offer a once in a generation opportunity to deliver transformational change for our transport network in Salford.
