The 10 member authorities, Bolton, Bury, Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport, Tameside, Trafford and Wigan recognise that a joint approach to dealing with air quality in such a large conurbation is the best environmental option. The Local Authorities have cooperated in the production of their individual review and assessments of air quality, each of which showed that without any action to control air quality, exceedences of the annual average nitrogen dioxide objective and, to a lesser extent, the daily particulate objective are likely in many urban areas across Greater Manchester. Accordingly authorities have co-ordinated the declaration of AQMAs within their districts. The AQMAs reflect the highly built up areas of the conurbation and the major transport contribution to the elevated levels of air pollution. A study into the sources and concentrations of the pollution showed that for the nitrogen dioxide annual mean objective to be met by 2005, total nitrogen oxide emissions would need to be reduced by about 30% in town centres and central urban locations across the conurbation. The Greater Manchester Air Quality Action Plan The 10 Greater Manchester Authorities have worked together to produce an Air Quality Action Plan, which covers the whole of Greater Manchester and details the measures that will be taken across the area and summarises how the Plan will be evaluated. It is accompanied by related annexes for each of the 10 district authorities providing a more detailed, local focus to the wider actions and strategies. Annual ‘action programmes’ and progress reports on the Action Plan will be key to the success of the Plan. Consultation and Participation The views of a wide range of people have been sought throughout the preparation of the Action Plan. Consultation began with an information leaflet and questionnaire entitled ‘Clearing the Air’ circulated in November 2000; followed by a Focus Group with interested organisations in December 2001 and ‘Transport Matters’ Newsletters in May 2002 and in November 2003 as the Plan progressed. Comment on the final draft has also been sought from Defra. Views have in general been supportive of the action and have included comments and suggestions for actions which have been considered as part of the preparation of the Plan. Monitoring and Evaluation The primary objective of the Action Plan is to improve air quality to meet the Government’s health related standards by 2005. Changes in air quality within Greater Manchester will be measured directly at monitoring stations throughout the area. Data will be analysed and published as part of the ongoing annual Air Quality Progress Reports to Defra. 3 Progress in implementing the Action Plan will also be assessed by reviewing to what extent planned measures and actions have been implemeneted using key indicators for each ‘action area’ from within the Plan. Implementing the Plan The Plan is closely linked to other Greater Manchester plans, particularly the Greater Manchester Local Transport Plan (GMLTP), community and environmental plans including Local Agenda 21, development planning and energy conservation. This integrated approach founded upon partnership working between member authorities and between the relevant professional disciplines including environmental health, planning and transport engineers is seen as essential to the implementation of an effective Plan. The Greater Manchester Authorities are working with other agencies that also have a role to play in achieving better air quality. These include, the Highways Agency, which is responsible for the Motorway and Trunk Road network, the Environment Agency which has responsibilities for emissions from certain large industrial processes and Manchester Airport. The Air Quality Action Plan sets out in more detail the measures that are to be introduced by the 10 Greater Manchester Authorities and GMPTE to improve air quality. Many of these measures are taking place through existing plans and strategies, in particular the GMLTP. The actions set out in the Plan are predicted to improve air quality and make activities in the area more sustainable. They include: • Promoting the use of Public Transport • Cleaning up bus emissions • Encouraging walking and cycling • Travel Plans • Goods vehicle emission and routing efficiency through Freight Quality Partnerships • Traffic management and traffic calming • Improved Energy Efficiency • Enforcement of Pollution Control Legislation • Roadside Emissions Testing • Feasibility study into Low Emission Zones • Reviewing the Regulation of Taxi Exhaust Emissions • Air Quality Guidance for Developers • Actions by other Organisations 4 The Way Forward The Greater Manchester Authorities are fully committed to meeting the Government’s health objectives and intend to continue their joint working on the identified range of air quality improvements needed to deliver those targets. The success of the Plan will be founded upon: Development of a fully integrated public transport system, including a major expansion of Metrolink, which provides people with alternatives to the private car Demonstrating the value and tangible benefits of cleaner air in order to gain the active support of people who live and work in, or visit the Manchester area, recognising that everyone needs to participate in a successful Air Quality Action Plan Implementation of the Action Plan through targeted actions whose costs and benefits have been evaluated and are appropriate to the wider needs of the Greater Manchester. Integration of the air quality improvements into the wider context of safe, healthy and sustainable urban communities within the Manchester area. Co-operative working with relevant third parties, such as the Highways Agency in relation to the motorway network, to deliver air quality improvement related to national policy issues, which are largely outside the control of the Greater Manchester Authorities. 5 Chapter 1 The Background to the Greater Manchester Air Quality Action Plan The Greater Manchester Area 1.1 Greater Manchester is one of the largest conurbations in the Country, with a total population of almost 2.5 million. Historically employment in the area was based around heavy industry, particularly cotton and engineering works. Following the decline of traditional industry in the area, a significant amount of effort is being made to regenerate run down areas. 1.2 Much of the area is urban, with thriving residential, industrial and commercial areas. There are however substantial green spaces, including large parks and countryside. The transport network serving the area

W. Harrison We are very sad to have to report that one of the new members of your committee, Peter Robinson, died last March. This was obviously a great loss to his family, and also to his friends, all to whom we extend our heart-felt condolences. Peter had only just commenced his service with the committee and was looking forward to help the Society grow. His loss is our sad loss. Your committee is still struggling to operate as well as we would wish due to a reduction in the number of trustees. There just aren’t enough to carry on the business of the Society properly. This year Charles Baumann has left the committee after many years of service when he undertook various tasks such as chairing lectures, organizing fund raising Flea Markets with me, publicising our events and other ventures as the need arose.

The disciples of Jesus said to him, ‘Lord, teach us to pray’. These were people who were familiar with Jewish customs and familiar with ritual prayer, structured prayer, formulaic prayer. Yet they asked Jesus to teach them something deeper, something that would sustain them. They recognised in Jesus that his relationship with God went beyond the familiar strict boundaries of known prayer. Frequently recently I have been approached with the same request, ‘Teach us to pray’. It is a cry from the heart. It expresses a desire to be drawn into a deeper life with God; into something that is more than that with which we are familiar. It is a yearning to inhabit a way of living that embraces mystery and silence. It is a desire to live Index more deeply and more meaningfully in a world where human value is primarily seen through the eyes of productivity, usefulness and Page success. Silence, which lies at the very heart of prayer, is The Rector writes 3 counter-intuitive in a world of competing, justifying, comparing and Benefice Who’s Who 4 winning.

She was born at Beech Mount Maternity Home in Harpurhey. She was above average intelligence, bus sadly she wasn’t too fond of studying. She first went to New Moston Primary School; then for two years, with her friend Sylvia, to a Private School. After that she went back to New Moston School to prepare for taking a scholarship exam. She won a scholarship to Chadderton Grammar School which she attended for about two years. We then bought a hardware store outside of Oldham at a place called Grotton, too far for her to travel to Chadderton, so we transferred her to Hulme Grammar School, Oldham, the best school in the area. Sometime during her schooling she was sent to music lessons with a very good teacher and she was so clever that she turned out to be the star pupil at all the concerts the teacher put on and was given the most difficult pieces to perform.
