I am married with 2 grown up children and 1 grandchild plus one on the way later this year. I have 3 dogs who we walk daily at the Grum and weekends at the soon to be refurbished community gardened Basford Park (more about this further in the newsletter). I am very proud to be Chair of the Residents Association and will do all I can to support the residents and businesses of Basford & Cliffe Vale, and surrounding Please give us your views on the facing page and areas.

Opposite Gilberts Furnishers Geraldine Tatters OR Chair, Basford & Cliffe Vale Residents Association WHY NOT BRING IT ALONG TO the big lunch Look out for: Other committee members introducing themselves in future issues Local History Feature Plans for Caption Competition Name Address Caption The building of the A500 dual carriageway and Queensway in the 1970s bi- sected the area, effectively making the Brick Kiln Lane area into part of Bas- ford, and blighting the run-down terraced housing that remained along Garner Street to the east of the A500. 160 residential terraced houses in Garner Street were demol- ished between 2002 and 2005, since they were deemed to be too near to the A500 road. This effectively removed the bulk of the residential population of Cliffe Vale. In the 1990s and 2000s the canal and towpath was regenerated for boaters and cy- Basford & Cliffe Vale RA Website clists, with the towpath becoming National Cycle Route No.5 and providing easy off- road access to Stoke-on-Trent railway station less than a mile away. http://basfordcliffevale.wordpress.com/ By 2007 there was a new 184-apartment canalside residential development on the defunct Twyfords site to the east of the A500. New housing developments mean that Facebook Page Cliffe Vale will once again have a significant residential population by 2008, of around 400 people living in an 'urban village' of upmarket apartments. Linked from main site Industry today consists of: Imerys, located on the Cliffe Vale rail terminal (aka New- Twitter Page castle Junction), which handles three freight trains per week of Cornish china clay and thus supplies most Stoke-on-Trent potteries with clay; a large timber yard and timber wholesaler; the making of hand-made oak furniture; a dairy produce processing unit; a small estate of light industrial units in restored Victorian train sheds of the for- mer North Staffordshire Railway. Major employers less than a mile away include the main campus of Staffordshire University and the University Hospital of North Stafford- shire. At the eastern edge of Cliffe Vale is the 29-acre Hanley Cemetery (1860 to present- day), originally the south part of the grounds of Chatterley Hall. It is still an active cemetery, and is run as a nature conservation area. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cliffe_Vale,_Staffordshire howards electrical, 551 Etruria Road, ST4 Tel: 6HH, 01782 639333 Basford & Cliffe Vale RA – Residents Association You are all members. Please come and get involved in supporting the activities of the community! BTW—Litter Whilst it is lovely to meet and enjoy time with people on activities like Litter Picking Days. BCVRA would like to request that Dog Walkers, in particular, take part in a Litter Picking exercise with me. If all Dog Walkers took an extra carrier bag, as well as poop bags of course, and filled this bag with whatever lies in easy reach on your route, then there would be little need for Litter Picking Days!

Exisiting Noticeboards outside Metz 521 / Basford Post Office and at Ford Street end of History the Grum ( F ord Street Play Area ) . Cliffe Vale is a district of the city of Stoke-on-Trent, and lies to the immediate south Promotions ofEtruria and just west of Basford and Hartshill. Cliffe Vale is in the valley of the Fowlea Brook, now better known as Etruria Valley. There are industrial and employment uses In general BCVRA would encourage local residents to use local businesses, along theA500, and new residential developments along the Trent and Mersey Canal. The Shelton New Road (A53) passes through from east to west. The area is sometimes called where possible, in the interests of community prosperity and community Cliff Vale (with no 'e') by the city Council, and is part of the Hartshill electoral ward. cohesion. The Roman road called Ryknild Street passed directly through the Cliffe Vale area, al- though the exact route it ran along is unknown. Cliffe Vale takes its name from having been the 'Hay of Clive', part of a Norman deer hunting park that survived as such well into the 15th century. The lower Cliffe Vale section of the park - between Shelton Old Road and Eturia Road - was probably deforested sometime in the 15th century. The more elevated core of the hunting park became a landed estate and farm, and it is marked on the 1st edition six-inch (152 mm) Ordnance Survey map (circa 1860) as "Cliff Ville". The Hairdressing park survived into the 20th century as a large wooded area, now run as a local nature 01782 622700 reserve under the name of Hartshill Park. The modern Hartshill Park overlooks the mod- ern Cliffe Vale area. 100 Victoria Street The Trent and Mersey Canal was cut north-south through Cliffe Vale in the 1770s. What is now the West Coast Main Line railway track was built in the mid 1850s. There was a Basford Cliffe Vale railway station, but this closed in 1865. In the Victorian era the area toward Stoke-on-Trent the canal specialised in carpentry, making wooden railway carriages at Cockshute sidings and narrowboats at the canal, while the area west of the train lines (Brick Kiln Lane) spe- cialised in brick making. A new ideal 'model' factory, Cliffe Vale Pottery, was built by T.W. Twyford in 1887, and his factory manufactured the world's first flushing toilets and other innovative sanitary- ware for over 100 years. The Twyfords works closed in 1994, and moved to a purpose- built factory at Alsager. The nearby Armitage Shanks sanitaryware pottery, established at the Excelsior Works in Cliffe Vale from 1912, closed in 2007 and moved to a new factory at Middlewich. This closure brought to an end 120 years of sanitary innovation at Cliffe Vale, innovations that rapidly spread around the world and which have changed the way billions of people live. The railway sidings and buildings at Cliffe Vale were used as the winter quarters for the world's biggest circus, Barnum & Bailey, from 1897 until 1911 when Twyfords expanded and the circus had to move elsewhere. Cliffe Vale today Good News! BCVRA have successfully won through the first round of bid for WIN A funding to improve community spaces and facilities in Basford FATHERS DAY Park.

    DRAFT 28/09/2007 Revised City Plan 2001 Revised City Plan 2001 Technical Appendix Revised Supplementary Planning Guidance This document contains the planning polices and sections of the technical appendix continuing after 27 September 2007. Reference to Supplementary Guidance is at the end. Preface The following paragraph has been taken from the Secretary of State’s decision letter (dated 7 September 2007) regarding saved policies. Following 27 September 2007 the saved policies should be read in context. Where policies were originally adopted some time ago, it is likely that material considerations, in particular the emergence of new national and regional policy and also new evidence, will be afforded considerable weight in decisions. In particular, we would draw your attention to the importance of reflecting policy in Planning Policy Statement 3 Housing and Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessments in relevant decisions. Policy SP7 was amended in 1994. The revised wording is shown at the end under Supplementary Planning Guidance. Revised City Plan Introduction. The following extracts are taken, without change, from the formally adopted City Plan 2001. Preceding each section, the policy aims have been included to assist understanding. Saved policies are in bold type. Reasoning / justification follows each individual policy, as per the original document. HOUSING Housing Policies and Proposals aim to: • ensure the adequate supply of land for new housing; • improve the condition and environment of existing housing in older housing areas and estates; • provide for the needs of small households and others requiring specialist housing. HP2 Types of Demand The City Council will encourage the provision of a variety of types of residential developments to meet a variety of housing needs including the special needs of the elderly, small households, low income groups, and handicapped and disabled people.

  • Companies Referred to in the Ceramic and Allied Trades Union Collection
    Companies referred to in the Ceramic and Allied Trades Union Collection Note - The following is a list of the companies which can be clearly identified in the CATU archive without any risk of confusion, the evidence coming from headed letter paper or something equally unassailable. This list is for information only. We can not retrieve documents from the collection from this list as the documents are spread throughout the collection in different files and have not been indexed. Many documents in the archive are much less clear cut (hand written notes, surveys etc) and it is not always easy to identify precisely which company is being referred to. One frequent potential source of confusion is that potbanks often had their own names, and these may sometimes look like company names. In practice, potbanks could change hands or be divided between more than one company. List of Companies in alphabetical order A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P R S T V W A Wm.

Since its inception the Charity has persistently and influentially worked to lift standards, develop training qualifications and build networks across the UK’s conservation, repair and maintenance (CRM) sector, estimated at over 40% of all construction industry activities. This has involved working partnerships with national agencies, professional and standard setting bodies, educational establishments and training interests. This study is directed towards a general audience and those wishing to increase their knowledge of The Potteries area, and its specific form and type of buildings in addition to assisting in providing a framework for carrying out similar regional studies.

  • CVEZ Booklet Spring 2020 FINAL
    CERAMIC VALLEY Stoke-on-Trent & Staffordshire Enterprise Zone Spring 2020 #CeramicValley www.makeitstokestaffs.co.uk FOREWORD Councillor Abi Brown Chair, Ceramic Valley Enterprise Zone Board Leader, Stoke-on-Trent City Council Since it’s launch in 2015, Ceramic Valley Enterprise Zone (CVEZ) has consistently contributed to Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire’s continued economic growth, driving our move to high-value added sectors and raising productivity. We have seen investment flow in, enabling brownfield sites to finally be developed out. Built on the strong narrative of a resurgent city region, with a mix of land owners, developers and local authority partners, we have championed tirelessly the benefits of locating in the heart of the UK, and today are one of the most successful EZs in the country. With occupation over 73% of current development build and a pipeline of serious interest, this success is spurring next phase developments to bring forward their masterplans. Real progress has also been made to open access to the zone, with major infrastructure programmes being delivered on the A500 that links the sites, as well as opening up additional access. We are hugely proud of what we and our partners have achieved so far on CVEZ; sites derelict for generations are helping to regenerate local towns, and speculative investment has delivered growth that supports our burgeoning local economy, one of the fastest growing outside London & the South East. Ambitious leadership and real delivery have turned our plans into jobs and businesses, employing local people and raising aspirations amongst our young people. Ceramic Valley is far more than a project, it’s a modern take on our way of life.

  • Rape Research
    Rape Research After scene 2, in Paulson‘s Tavern, Tara is left behind whilst it empties out. This is the perfect setting for Danni to tranquilise her with a date rape drug. This is quite a strong subject, and I felt like the whole group should put more research and get a greater understanding, so we know how to deal with the situation and portray it through our performance. Personally, I have never known anyone who has experienced this situation before, so to ensure that I would create a believable performance and reaction, I needed to get a greater understanding and look at interviews, dramas and information about date rape and the affect it has on people‘s lives. BBC Health – Rohypnol http://www.bbc.co.uk/health/physical_health/conditions/rohypnol.shtml What is Rohypnol? Rohypnol is the brand name of a medicine called flunitrazepam, and is one of the benzodiazepine class of sedative or tranquilizer drugs, of which ‗Valium‘ or diazepam is perhaps the best known. Rohypnol or flunitrazepam is 10 times more potent than diazepam. In the UK the drug is no longer used in the NHS but may be available on private prescription for those who need it (although it‘s generally felt that there are better alternatives). Its legal status in the UK is a class C drug, which means that it‘s illegal to possess flunitrazepam without a prescription. It‘s not legally available in the US, but as it is still made in some countries an illegal trade continues. Rohypnol rose to prominence as the date rape drug because it was colourless, odourless, tasteless and easily dissolved - ideal for spiking drinks undetected - and causes sedation or euphoria in approximately 20 to 30 minutes.

  • Former Johnson Matthey, Whittle Rd, Meir (NLP Ref: ST1)
    Former Johnson Matthey, Whittle Rd, Meir (NLP Ref: ST1) BARRIERS TO DELIVERY: GROSS SITE AREA: 8.62 ha Lack of market interest ESTIMATED NET DEVELOPABLE AREA: 8.19 ha This 8.6 ha site has a prominent frontage onto the A50 (the Uttoxeter Road), and to the east it borders the Meir Park Industrial Estate, while it is flanked by housing to the south and west. The site used to accommodate Johnson Matthey’s main UK factory, but this closed in 2002 and the site has not been used since. Nothing remains of the site’s former buildings and it now suffers from fly tipping and litter issues. However, the site has been identified as suitable for B1, B2 and B8 uses. In 2010 IDI Gazeley obtained detailed consent to redevelop the site in order to provide a distribution scheme amounting to 42,920 sqm1 and the site is being actively marketed. The site has adequate access to labour and there are nearby amenities/services. In addition, within 400m of the site are numerous bus stops, albeit many of these are located in the nearby residential areas.
