The Government is pursuing a number of policies and initiatives that aim to empower local communities and give citizens the opportunity to help shape decisions about the way public services are designed and delivered to them. As part of this agenda the Government recognises that democratically elected town and parish councils - the most local tier of local government - can play a key role in meeting this aim.

But you may not have realised that our graduate placement, Jayne Ashe, has made a head start and has been busy supporting and co-ordinating a new 'Pendle Hill Volunteers Group' over the last year. The volunteers have been able to carry out small-scale tasks to improve the local environment of the hill, including woodland management, surveying, removal of invasives and hedgelaying amongst other things. We see this group growing and developing as the Pendle Hill LP begins its delivery phase next year. Ribble Rivers Trust have been going from strength to strength recently, with new initiatives and projects sprouting up across the AONB, including the ambitious and exciting 'Ribble Life Together' catchment- wide initiative and the River Loud Farmer Facilitation Group.

    Central area redd project [Ribble, Hodder and Lune catchments] Item Type monograph Authors Lewis, J. Publisher Environment Agency North West Download date 02/10/2021 20:24:19 Link to Item http://hdl.handle.net/1834/25128 ENVIRONMENT AGENCY NORTH WEST REGION CENTRAL AREA REDD PROJECT J LEWIS FEBRUARY 2000 G:\FER\Fisheries\Redd Counts\GIS Data Central Area Fisheries Science and Management Team Redd Distribution Project SUMMARY Redd counting is an integral part of most Fishery Officers duties. The number and distribution of salmonid redds throughout salmonid catchments provides invaluable information on the range and extent of spawning by both salmon and sea trout. A project was initiated by the Fisheries Science and Management Team of Central Area, NW Region in liason with the Flood Defence function. The main objective of this project was to assess redd count data for Central Area and attempt to quantify these data in order to produce a grading system that would highlight key salmonid spawning areas. By showing which were the main areas for salmon and sea trout spawning, better informed decisions could be made on whether or not in-stream Flood Defence works should be given the go-ahead. The main salmonid catchments in Central Area were broken into individual reaches, approximately 1 km in length. The number of redds in these individual reaches were then calculated and a density per lkm value was obtained for each reach. A grading system was devised which involved looking at the range of density per km values and dividing this by five to produce 5 classes, A - E.

  • 1868 Drought
    THE EMERGENCY WATER SUPPLY FOR PRESTON 1868 PUMPING FROM THE RIVER HQDDER DROUGHT AT DQEFORD BRIDGE In 1953 Preston's Water Engineer, Mr Oakes, produced an excellent booklet called "Water Supplies through Three Centuries". He described how, as Preston expanded and the wells and springs within the town became inadequate, it looked towards the hills. The first reservoir was made about 1832 near Gammull Lane, then the Grimsargh reservoirs about 1835 and the first of the reservoirs near Longridge about 1840. For 25 years, between 1850 and 1875, Preston obtained much of its water supply directly from the River Loud near the Derby Arms. "The Loud water was hard and grossly polluted" and there was not much of it in dry weather. The Stonyhurst records for 1868 show that there was very little rain in May, June and July. By August, Preston's reservoirs were dry. The urgent need to maintain a supply of water to the town demanded a quick solution. Pumping from the Ribble was considered but analysis showed that the water was quite unfit for domestic purposes. Hodder water proved to be ideal, and arrangements were made by the end of August to obtain it. The ingenious emergency measures, to raise water 120 feet above the river Hodder and run it more than a mile to the existing Longridge Fell catchment area reflect great credit on all concerned. Mr Dakes wrote that water was pumped continuously from 27th August to the end of October. On Thursday September 10th the emergency pumping scheme was inspected by a deputation from Preston Corporation who left Winckley Square, pulled by five horses.

  • Walter Marshall – Rural Policeman
    Walter Marshall – Rural Policeman Family Background The 1881 census records Walter Marshall as having been born in 1857 in Oaken Clough, Bleasedale, a small and scattered community on the edge of the Forest of Bowland in Lancashire. An important source of employment in the area was a paper mill and he initially followed his father, John, and older brother, Albert, in to the mill, where the 1871 census records his occupation as paper bag maker. He was still working at this mill when, at the age of 20, he married Harriet Sanderson at St John the Evangelist, Calderdale in May 1877 Very soon after their first child Ellen was born, in January 1879 Walter joined the Lancashire Constabulary in Preston. It is possible that Harriet stayed in Calderdale as their second child, John was also born there in the first quarter of 1879. Police Career There is an extensive archive for the Lancashire Constabulary held at the Lancashire Archives in Preston. The Police Examinations Books show that Walter Marshall joined the Lancashire Constabulary on 1st January 1879 and was issued with the warrant number 7540. On the 24th January he was attached to Ormskirk Division, serving with this division for the rest of his police career (1879-19??) Walter Marshall's personal details were recorded on Ist January 1879 as follows: Age: 22 last April Height: 5' 8 1/4” Complexion: Fair Eyes: Grey Hair: Brown Particular Marks: None Where born: Oakenclough, Garstang Trade or Calling: Paper maker Married, 1 child. Unfortunately there is no photograph Between 1879 and 1885 Walter Marshall advanced steadily within the rank of constable, being promoted to Class of Merit in April 1884 and 1st Rate in April 1885.
