  • North West Introduction the North West Has an Area of Around 14,100 Km2 and a Population of Almost 6.9 Million
    North West Introduction The North West has an area of around 14,100 km2 and a population of almost 6.9 million. The metropolitan areas of Greater Manchester and Merseyside are the most significant centres of population; other major urban areas include Liverpool, Blackpool, Blackburn, Preston, Chester and Carlisle. The population density is 490 people per km2, making the North West the most densely populated region outside London. This population is largely concentrated in the southern half of the region; Cumbria in the north has just 24 people per km2. The economy The economic output of the North West is almost £119 billion, which represents 13 per cent of the total UK gross value added (GVA), the third largest of the nine English regions. The region is very varied economically: most of its wealth is created in the heavily populated southern areas. The unemployment rate stood at 7.5 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2010, compared with the UK rate of 7.9 per cent. The North West made the highest contribution to the UK’s manufacturing industry GVA, 13 per cent of the total in 2008. It was responsible for 39 per cent of the UK’s GVA from the manufacture of coke, refined petroleum products and nuclear fuel, and 21 per cent of UK manufacture of chemicals, chemical products and man-made fibres. It is also one of the main contributors to food products, beverages, tobacco and transport equipment manufacture. Gross disposable household income (GDHI) of North West residents was one of the lowest in the country, at £13,800 per head.

  • Market Area Report for West Lancashire
    RE-PRICING OF 12 MONTH MOORING PERMITS 2012 MARKET AREA REPORT FOR WEST LANCASHIRE Introduction This report provides the rationale for mooring price decisions for 2012. For explanation of the method and relevant policy, please see our overview report at www.britishwaterways.co.uk/media/documents/Moorings_Report_Overview_Report.pdf. Profiles of privately operated sites in the area are appended. We researched and compared their prices with the BW rates to inform our judgements but because the date is commercially sensitive this has not been included. Local market overview The Lancaster Canal has a fairly clearly defined market for moorings. It is the north-western extremity of the BW network from Preston to Tewitfield, running through the popular locations of Garstang, Lancaster and Carnforth. Although accessible to the rest of the network via the Ribble Link which is seasonal (April to October), the large majority of boaters do not use it and confine their cruising to the Lancaster. The moorings in Glasson Basin accommodate sea going craft and serve the coastal as well as inland boating market. The BW directly managed sites in the area are as follows Site name Site capacity (berths) Salwick Wharf 13 Stone Chimney Wharf 5 Pendle 24 Bilsborrow Wharf 11 Dimples Bridge 20 Tythe Barn Garstang 14 Moss Lane (South) 11 Moss Lane (North) 21 Montgomeries Wharf 6 Cabus Nook 8 Ratcliffe Wharf 11 Lodge Hill Galgate 4 Hest Bank 22 Bolton Le Sands 3 Tewitfield 3 Glasson Arm 9 Glasson Basin 1 Total capacity 186 West Lancs 2012 Page 1 of 6 Supply assessment In addition to these BW long term moorings, there are a total of 152 online and 768 offline basin or marina moorings in the same area; this includes the marinas at Barton Grange and Tewitfield.
