    Attractions in Staffordshire The border between Stafordshire and Derbyshire is the River Dove so only a few hundred yards awa. It runs north to south. Below is a modified copy of the index to the folder normally found in the cottages full of 40 leaflets of attractions in Staffordshire . I have deleted some of the listings in the index as I consider it is unlikely they will be opening by the time of your stay, but others that are for time being closed, I have kept in as I am guessing there is a chance they might open up. Some of the attractions have been open throughout the lockdown (eg Manifold Valley, others are opening up in July and I have indicated those whose administrators have given no indication of when they are opening up. I have also added the web site details in view of their being no leaflets as such in the cottage.

  • Designation of Leekfrith Neighbourhood Area PDF 83 KB
    Planning Committee – Part A 13 March 2015 Page 1 14. DESIGNATION OF LEEKFRITH NEIGHBOURHOOD AREA (AM) Purpose of the report 1. To designate that part of Leekfrith parish that is within the National Park as part of the Leekfrith Neighbourhood Area, under the Localism Act 2011 Schedule 9. Key issue Under Schedule 9, section 61-I of the Localism Act, the power to designate an area as a neighbourhood area is exercisable by 2 or more local planning authorities if the area falls within the area of those authorities. Leekfrith parish council is a qualifying body for the purpose of designating a neighbourhood area, and has applied to the Authority and to Staffordshire Moorlands District Council. 2. Recommendation: That part of Leekfrith parish that is within the National Park is designated as part of the Leekfrith Neighbourhood Area (the shaded area within the parish boundary on the map in Appendix 1), under the Localism Act 2011 Schedule 9, section 61G. How does this contribute to our policies and legal obligations? 3. This is a legal obligation under the Localism Act. This proposal contributes to corporate objectives 3 and 5. 3: Provide a high quality planning service to the community of the National Park that achieves national park purposes and that is responsive to and contributes to the debate on planning reform nationally and locally. 5: Work with others in an integrated way to support local people to develop community facilities, local needs housing and services in ways that are sustainable and contribute to national park purposes. A measure of success for this objective is working with communities/ parishes/villages to support their plans, including neighbourhood plans.

Consultation to Develop the Draft Neighbourhood Plan 4. The Formal Regulation 14 Consultation 5. Conclusion 2 1.0 Introduction 1. 1 The Consultation Statement has been prepared to fulfil the legal requirements of Part 5, S(15) of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 by: a. Detailing all those who were consulted about our Neighbourhood Plan; b. Outlining details of the consultation process; c. Providing a summary of the main issues and concerns that were raised during the consultation; d. Detailing how these issues and concerns have been considered and addressed in the Neighbourhood Plan. 1.2 Leekfrith is a rural Parish with no real concentration of houses. The whole parish has only 306 people on the electoral role and 150 houses. It is however a strong community. The village of Meerbrook has only a dozen houses, but also a church, chapel, village hall and a thriving pub. The hamlet of Upper Hulme has half a dozen houses, a pub and also quite a large old Dye Mill which these days houses a number of small companies that make a diverse range of products. The Mill is in poor repair. 1.3 The parish is within the Staffordshire Moorlands District Council (SMDC) administrative area but the planning function is split between SMDC and the Peak District National Park Authority (PDNPA). 1.4 The Roaches, a well-known beauty spot loved by walkers and climbers, is situated to the North of the parish in the National Park.

    WALSALL OBSERVER 1900 to 1911 1 24 February 1900 WALSALL POLICE COURT BOATMAN SENT TO GAOL Henry Benton (26), labourer of 6 Upper Navigation Street, was charged with stealing a set of boat harness, valued £2 10s, from the stable of the Junction Inn, Bridgeman Street, on February 14th. Luke Dovey, a boatman, Mill Street, Birmingham, stated that on the morning of the day named he took a boat from Birmingham to Walsall, the horse wearing the harness named in the charge. When he got to the Junction Inn he put the horse up, owing to excess of traffic on the canal. At about two o'clock the next morning he went to get the horse out again, and found the harness gone. Detective Haycock stated that he made inquiries respecting the robbery, and visited the house of prisoner, where he found the harness in the front bedroom. Witness asked prisoner how he accounted for it, and he said, “My boss will account for it”. Prisoner pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to two months' hard labour. 2 7 April 1900 BENTLEY BAD FOR THE CYCLIST At the Willenhall Police Court on Monday, John Day, a boatman of Bentley, was fined 5s and costs for allowing a horse to stray in Walsall Road on the night of the 25 th March.
