North West England and Domestic Tourism North West England North West England comprises the counties Cumbria, Lancashire, Greater Manchester, Merseyside and Cheshire. It has a population of just over 7 million, representing 13% of the total population of England. Value to Domestic Tourism in England In 2014, there were 12.74 million domestic overnight trips to the North West, with associated spending of £2.5bn, representing 14% of the English total. 160 million tourism day visits are taken each year to the region, worth £5.4 billion, equating to 12% of England’s day visit market. North West trips Total England North West trips (as % of total) Domestic Overnight Trips Trips (millions) 92.61 12.74 14% Spend (£ millions) 18,085 2,465 14% Day Visits Trips (millions) 1,345 160 12% Spend (£ millions) 45,101 5,370 12% Trip Type Overnight Travel Over half of overnight trips to the North West are taken as holidays – a higher proportion than the national average. This is mainly due to the greater significance of short breaks of 1-3 nights, which account for 38% of all overnight trips to the region, though the 2 million longer holidays taken each year are also an important part of the market. 15% of all trips are for business purposes, in line with the national average, whereas the VFR market is relatively less important to the North West than other parts of England, representing just under a third of the domestic market. % of North % of trips taken North West Total England West trips by all trip takers trips taken All Overnight Trips (millions) 92.61 100% 12.74 100% All Holidays 40.74 44% 6.81 53% 1-3 night holidays 26.47 29% 4.79 38% 4+ night holidays 14.27 15% 2.01 16% Visiting Friends and Relatives 35.91 39% 4.09 32% Business Travel 13.55 15% 3.94 15% Day Trips Although one in five day trips in the region is for the purpose of visiting friends and family, this is a lower proportion than for England nationally, in line with overnight travel patterns. Nights out, special shopping and going out for entertainment are relatively more important to the North West than for the country as a whole, though outdoor activities are also over-represented, reflecting the region’s mix of urban and rural destinations. The sporting heritage of the region is apparent in the higher than average share of day trips to watch live sporting events. % of North % of trips taken North West Total England West trips by all trip takers trips taken All Day Trips, millions 1,345 100% 160 100% (selected activities) Visiting friends or family 313 23% 32 20% Going on a night out 113 8% 17.1 11% Undertaking outdoor activities 109 8% 12.7 8% Special shopping 84 6% 12.3 8% Going out for entertainment 95 7% 11.1 7% Watching live sporting events 52 4% 7.7 5% Holidays in the North West The importance of short breaks to the region is seen in the lower than average trip length, with holiday visitors staying on average for 2.91 nights, compared to a national figure of 3.37. While the total spend on a domestic break in the region is lower than the average (£232 vs £247) spend per day is higher (£80 vs £73). Domestic Holidays Total England North West trips Average spend per trip £247 £232 Average spend per night £73 £80 Average trip length (nights) 3.37 2.91 City breaks represent the largest share of holidays in the North West, accounting for just over one in three trips, a higher proportion than the national average, with rural tourism also relatively important to the region (29% of all holidays vs 23% nationally). Almost two thirds of holidays to the region are spent in serviced accommodation (vs. just 50% nationally), with North West holidays more likely to be booked at short notice, and also more likely to be booked using mobile devices (14% vs 11% nationally). Compared to the national profile, visitors to the North West are more likely to be aged 35-54, and to come from the less affluent C2DE social grades. One in three holiday visitors are resident in the region, with neighbouring Yorkshire (13%) and the North East (11%) also important source markets. Visitors to the region have a slightly higher propensity to take part in outdoor activities, reflecting the importance of rural tourism to the region, but history & heritage, and arts, culture and entertainment are less likely to feature as part of a North West holiday than they are elsewhere in the country. % of trips taken % of North West by all trip takers trips taken Destination Type Seaside 32% 24% Large city/ large town 31% 34% Small town 19% 20% Countryside/ village 23% 29% Accommodation used Serviced rented 50% 63% Self-catering rented 37% 28% Camping / Caravanning 23% 17% Other self-catering rented 14% 11% Transport used Public transport 16% 14% Car 79% 81% When booked More than six months before trip 7% 6% Between 2 and 6 months before trip 26% 23% About a month before trip 12% 15% 2-3 weeks before trip 13% 14% In the week before trip 13% 14% Same day / after setting off on trip 1% 1% % of trips taken % of North West Cont. by all trip takers trips taken How booked Booked online 54% 54% On a laptop or desktop PC 40% 38% On a smartphone 3% 3% On a tablet 8% 11% Age groups 16-34 23% 22% 35-54 42% 46% 55+ 35% 32% Social grade AB 39% 39% C1 28% 26% C2 19% 20% DE 13% 15% Children in household 36% 36% Region of origin North East 6% 11% Yorks & Humberside 13% 13% East Midlands 9% 5% East of England 9% 4% London 7% 4% South East (excluding London) 15% 5% South West 11% 4% West Midlands 10% 8% North West 13% 34% Scotland 3% 8% Wales 5% 5% % of trips taken % of North West Cont. by all trip takers trips taken Activities undertaken History & heritage 23% 18% Arts, culture & entertainment 15% 11% Visitor Attractions 33% 29% Parks and Gardens 14% 11% Events, festivals and exhibitions 11% 10% Outdoor activities (including long 27% 28% walks) Outdoor activities (excluding long 14% 14% walks) Visited beach 20% 9% Special shopping 7% 7% Live sport 3% 3% Special personal event 3% 3% Trends Since 2008, holiday trip volumes to the North West have grown at an average rate of 2% per year, twice the national average.

    Budget Submission – the East of England: an Engine for Growth

    Dear Rt Hon Rishi Sunak MP MP, Chancellor of the Exchequer Budget Submission – the East of England: An Engine for Growth We are writing to you as Co-chairs of the East of England APPG officers to request that you consider, when preparing your March Budget statement, the submission the APPG agreed in advance of the anticipated (and ultimately delayed) Spending Review - An Engine for the Nation’s Prosperity. We also trust you will have in mind Cambridge Econometrics’ report – An Economic Strategy for the East of England – about which the APPG was briefed when it held its inaugural meeting last week. Like the UK Innovation Corridor APPG’s report - Local Industrial Strategy Growth Prospectus – these documents are complementary, and we endorse their findings. In fact, the very well attended APPG meeting - including ten Parliamentarians, representatives of LEPs and local government as well as business and university leaders - demonstrated the high degree of consensus across the East of England regarding what all agree are the opportunities, challenges and priorities for Government support for this region’s cities, market and coastal towns, and villages and, of course, to support its private, public and third sectors. We would therefore wish to emphasise our emerging collective vision for the East of England, which is: • as a network of dynamic high growth corridors, linking key regional clusters and institutions, connecting Cambridge with significant coastal assets and global gateways to the east and CaMkOx to the west as well as via the innovation

    Burnley RUFC Receives Queen's Award For

    BELVEDERE AND CALDER VALE SPORTS CLUB THE QUEEN’S AWARD FOR VOLUNTARY SERVICE Belvedere and Calder Vale Sports Club are to receive The Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service after being nominated for the award by Pendle MP, Andrew Stephenson. Belvedere & Calder Vale Sports Club, situated at Holden Road, Reedley on the border of Burnley and Pendle, is a community based sports organisation. It was formed 63 years ago by the amalgamation of Calder Vale RUFC, (now Burnley RUFC); Burnley Belvedere Football Club and Burnley Belvedere Cricket Club. In 1957 a small committee of businessmen who were sportsmen involved in the three sports raised funds to buy a 6-acre plot of land to build a clubhouse with changing rooms and pitches to provide amateur sport for the local community. A further purchase of land to accommodate an additional football pitch and rugby pitch, with extensions to the original building, was made in later years to enable it to become the Club as we know it today. It provides facilities for the three sports across many age groups, genders and ethnic groups in the boroughs of Burnley and Pendle. It also supports the local community by making available its clubhouse facilities and sports grounds for a variety of uses. These include the meeting venue for Pendleside Rotary Club and Burnley Soroptomists Club, a Polling Station and the site for various local health initiatives. An Annual Christmas Carol Concert is held when funds are raised for Pendleside Hospice & Pendle Youth Orchestra. Its 12 acres of open space, with four sports pitches and a cricket square, are criss-crossed with public footpaths and a stretch of spring water-fed wetland which supports a wildlife environment.

    (Lancashire North of the Sands), No Religious House Arose In

    AN INTRODUCTION TO THE RELIGIOUS HOUSES OF CUMBRIA In Furness, (Lancashire north of the sands), no religious house arose in the poor and remote districts which in the twelfth century became the county of Lancaster, until nearly thirty years after the Norman Conquest. Of the three Cistercian houses Furness was the earliest, having been founded at Tulketh near Preston in 1124, and removed to Furness in 1127; There were two houses of Austin Canons; the priory of Conishead was founded (at first as a hospital) before 1181, the priory of Cartmel about 1190. Furness and Cartmel, exercised feudal lordship over wide tracts of country. Furness naturally resented the foundation of Conishead so close to itself, and on land under its own lordship, but the quarrel was soon composed. In Cumberland, within a comparatively small area, six monastic foundations carried on their work with varying success for almost four centuries. Four of these houses were close to the border, and suffered much during the long period of hostility between the two kingdoms. The priories of Carlisle and Lanercost, separated only by some 10 miles, were of the Augustinian order; the abbeys of Holmcultram and Calder, between which there seems to have been little communication, were of the Cistercian; and the priories of Wetheral and St. Bees were cells of the great Benedictine abbey of St. Mary, York Detailed accounts of all the monastic houses in the former counties of Cumberland and Lancashire appeared in the introductory volumes of the original Victoria County Histories of the two counties, published in 1905 and 1908 respectively.

    Case Study: DataGM Type: Website Organisation(s): GM local authorities, Open Data Manchester, GMFRS Tags: open data, process, standards, website This was the earliest attempt in Greater Manchester to create a simple datastore that would hold important data from across the region, focussing on government transparency and providing better public services. The result was a highly functional datastore with which brought together data from a wider range of data publishers, and included a total of 371 datasets. It was ultimately not successful in creating a lasting basis for open data cooperation and access in Greater Manchester. However, it provides interesting lessons on how to proceed with future projects. Background DataGM was launched in February 2011, inspired by successful projects in North American cities, such as Track DC (now Open Data DC) in Washington, D.C. and Baltimore City Stats (now Open Baltimore). It was conceived as a one-stop-shop for key datasets on all aspects of city life. The programme emerged through a partnership between Trafford Council and the digital culture agency Future Everything. This began in 2009 when the Manchester Innovation Fund supported Future Everything to build open data innovation architecture in Greater Manchester, funded by NESTA, Manchester Council and the North West Regional Development Agency (now closed). Future Everything and Trafford Council in turn partnered with a wide range of data publishing organisations. These included local authority partners, as well as Greater Manchester Policy, Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service, Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Executive (now Transport for Greater Manchester), and the North West Strategic Health Authority.

    Cheshire East: Developing Emotionally Healthy Children and Young People

    CHESHIRE EAST: DEVELOPING EMOTIONALLY HEALTHY CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE The Cheshire East emotionally healthy children and young people partnership is led by Cheshire East council’s children’s services, and is primarily funded from the council’s public health budget. Many organisations have been actively involved in developing the partnership including the NHS’s local clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) and children’s and adolescents mental health services (CAMHS), headteachers, and several vol- untary organisations. As a council senior manager explained: “It’s all partnership working. We work with schools, with the CCG, with health providers, with school nurses, health visitors, early years services, third sector organisations.” As a health lead commented: “It is pretty unique in its nature and scope.” The partnership’s aim is to support children and young people in becoming more mentally resilient: to be better able to manage their own mental health, to pro- cess what is going on in their environment, and to access specialist services should they need them. They want to reduce the number of children and young people attending accident and emergency services, or being inappropriately re- ferred to the CAMHS. The partnership’s original focus was creating ‘emotionally healthy schools’, but they are now extending their reach into early years settings. “We have been really blessed in support from above. We have had investment in to this project year after year. The moral and ethical support is there but also Pinancial.” INITIAL PHASE In 2015 CCGs were required to produce a local ‘children and mental health trans- formation plan’ to implement the NHS’s national ‘Five Year Forward View’ and ‘Future in Mind’ recommendations.

University of Central Lancashire Partnership Policing. The University of Central Lancashire is located within Central Division close to the centre of Preston, Lancashire. In 1997, the Division moved towards a geographic style of policing and I took ownership of the policing problems of the University. It was apparent that the main volume crime issues facing the area were crimes against property. This was a problem which affected both students and the university organisation_ Scanning and analysis quickly indicated that a large proportion of these crimes could t have been avoided had basic security and crime prevention measures been adhered to. The issue was, therefore, largely one of education. Education of the community to prevent students and staff becoming victims of crime and education of the University organisation to help it to improve the way in which it addressed its crime problems. The University is an autonomous organisation which can resemble a distinct community. It has its own physical boundaries, hierarchy, discipline structure and policing systems. As an organisation they had many of the resources and structures to deal with their crime problems, but needed help to work more efficiently. The response to the problem was, therefore, to develop partnerships within the University to help them to address their crime problems. This approach was beneficial to the police as it has a positive influence not only on crime figures, but also on demands upon police time.
