The city has a strong underlying economy, and there are many indicators within the 2016 AMR which show significant improvement and suggest that Manchester is continuing to make substantial progress to achieve the sustainable development goals set out in the Local Plan. Development that supports economic growth has remained at a high level, with 120,000 sqm of employment related floorspace being completed over the past year, a significant proportion of this is in the Regional Centre, which remains the main employment location and economic driver of the City Region.

  • Manchester Urban Historic Landscape Characterisation Section 7
    7 Manchester’s Historic Character – Analysis and Recommendations 7.1 Unenclosed land broad type Figure 4 The area of the former Shadow Moss is indicated by the distinctive field boundary patterns depicted on OS 6” 1 st edition mapping of c1882 Description This character type comprises areas that are currently of low economic value and where there is little or no settlement. It includes marginal land such as open mossland and marsh, and other unimproved land which may nonetheless be exploited, such as common land, pasture and moorland. Unenclosed land only occurs in Manchester district as a previous type. 7.1.1 Open moorland Description and historical context Moorland does not exist as a current type within the Manchester landscape; it appears as a previous type only in the Baguley Moor area. Some areas of the former moorland have not been developed and although their character has changed, they may still contain palaeoenvironmental and archaeological evidence. 27 For example, the playing fields associated with Brookway High School (HLC Ref HGM13548) and the playing fields east of Church Stoke Walk (HLC Ref HGM13842) have both been enclosed from farmland that was formerly moorland. 7.1.2 Mossland Description and historical context Although there is no surviving untouched mossland in Manchester, there were several mosses in the district in the past. Mossland has thus been recorded as a previous rather than a current character type. Like the upland moors, the former lowland mosses were probably enclosed at a relatively late date. The three main former mosses in Manchester are Hough Moss in the area which is now Moss Side and Whalley Range; Shadow Moss, near Moss Nook and Manchester Airport in the south of the district; and White Moss, near Charlestown in the northern part of the district.

    ST GABRIEL’S ROMAN CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL PRONUNTIO Dec 2018 Christmas Card Design This year the St. Gabriel’s customised Christmas card was designed by Year 8 pupils, Oliver Smith and Olivia Crosland, who worked together to capture the spirit and light of this festive and holy season. The pupils expressed their ideas using ink, collage and oil pastel. We hope that the school community will enjoy their imaginative design. Welcome to our Christmas Edition It has been a very busy and exciting term with a number of successes and achievements. We had a wonderful musical evening in November with many outstanding performances. As you read this latest edition of Pronuntio you will see how our school focuses on its mission statement and the distinctive Catholic nature of what we are all about – developing the whole child through the curriculum and enrichment experiences. I do hope you enjoy reading through Pronuntio and recognise the successful and wonderful faith community that we are at St. Gabriel’s. At this time of year, in preparation for the birth of Our Lord at Christmas, we remember these words: “I have come that they may have life and live to the full” – John 10:10 I wish you all a very happy and holy Christmas. God bless. Mr A Loster, Acting Headteacher Bury In Bloom Winners Huge congratulations to Olivia Crossland who was the overall winner for the Bury in Bloom Poster Competition. The poster represented the transformation of dull, built up, concrete areas of Bury into bright, colourful areas filled with blooming flowers and wildlife.
