Our Village Appearance group have worked hard on designs and funding to create this safe pathway to the school, which is also enjoyed by people who like a stroll on the level path through our beautiful trees. Do take the opportunity to enjoy the autumn colours particularly of the chestnut, acer and oak trees. We have some very old trees in High Legh – the yew trees in the Chapel grounds are certainly hundreds, maybe over a thousand years old. There is also a very old hollow oak tree on Peacock Lane. It is easy to take these natural assets for granted. The landscape we can all enjoy only exists because individuals take the trouble to make sure it is preserved and renewed. The same is true for community facilities and the events that happen within them. These facilities only exist because individuals put time and effort into maintaining and developing them. Action You could enjoy the satisfaction of making things happen around High Legh. Contact any of the newsletter contributors and you will be warmly welcomed to help with anything from making cups of tea to managing the finances or running an event or project. Young or old, you can develop new skills and enhance your CV. For people returning to the workplace -refresh your skills with recent experience; for retirees- use the skills you gained at work to help the community. You can make new friends and enjoy the quiet satisfaction of knowing you helped make something good, happen. This Newsletter is written, published and delivered to High Legh homes, through the voluntary efforts of members of the High Legh Community. What’s On? - You can have reminders about all the latest High Legh social activities by email from [email protected] Just send your email address to [email protected].

IF SO WE NEED YOUR HELP! Did you know that everyone who lives in High Legh is automatically a FREE member of High Legh Community Association (HLCA), a registered charity dedicated to providing social, leisure and educational opportunities for the residents of High Legh. On Thursday November 13th at 7.30pm we have our AGM in the Village Hall and we would love it if you were able to come. We will lay on FREE refreshments and tell you about what has been happening this last year with the Village Hall, the Robert Moffat High Legh 10k, Sunday Teas, The Village Show, and many other events, and what the plans are for next year. We will also be on hand to answer any questions that you may have, and in particular, we would like to know what more we (with you) can do to help make things even better in our beautiful Village. So, please come! And if, for some reason you don't love High Legh, we would still like you to come if you have ideas as to what we can improve. We also always need volunteers. 5 This AGM, our longstanding Treasurer, Tim Pearce, who has contributed so much to Village life, has decided to stand down. We would like to place on record our heartfelt thanks for all the seen and unseen work that he has done in the Village Hall and for various events, especially the management of our 10K race, on which he has worked since 2008. Feedback from both UK Athletics and runners on our “silky smooth” race organisation has contributed greatly to the reputation of our race. Tim has also made practical contributions to all our social events, operated “What’s On” and has provided DIY assistance to the Hall, sometimes at short notice, to help us overcome Hall emergencies. He contributed thousands of pounds worth of DIY efforts to improving the Village hall. He will leave some big gaps in the often unseen machinery that keeps the CA operating. This means that we now need a new Treasurer, so if you are interested and wish to know what is involved, please contact me or any other member of the HLCA Council. We are also looking for additional volunteers to help organise the highly successful Robert Moffatt High Legh 10k race and other events including Sunday Teas, and helping with the running of the Village Hall including specifically expertise in marketing, project management, DIY or IT skills. If any of these areas interests you, then please let us know. Many thanks - see you on Thursday November 13th! Nick Gerrard (Chair, High Legh Community Association ([email protected] Tel 752795) Social News SUNDAY TEAS High Legh Sunday Teas have had an excellent year in 2014. More people are discovering the superb home baking for which High Legh Sunday Teas are renowned. The last chance to enjoy Sunday Teas will be on Sunday 19th October when there will also be an opportunity to see an exhibition of all the entries in the Photographic Competition. We hope to start again on Easter Sunday, April 5th 2015, provided that we have the volunteers to keep it all working smoothly. Each Sunday Teas is run by a different local group or organisation. High Legh Community Association volunteers work behind the scenes, making sure that freshly laundered aprons and tea towels are available; replenishing stocks of drinks and consumables; briefing host organisations; checking equipment and hygiene control. Our aim is to ensure that all a “host” organisation needs to do is bake, prepare sandwiches and turn up in sufficient numbers on their afternoon to provide a great service to our customers and 6 tidy up afterwards. To date, the host organisations have raised £11,471 for their own funds and the CA has raised a net £2,563. All of the CA Teas income will be dedicated to improving the Village hall. Thank you to Chris Marsland and Trish Adams for leading this tremendous effort. 200 Club Thank you to all the 200 club agents for collecting in the subscriptions for the new 200 club year. Thank you to the subscribers who help to make the 200 Club a success, raising money for the High Community Association. The first draw took place at the Village Show and the winners were:- £75 Eileen Stokes (95) £50 Louise Allan (38) £25 C . R. Fowler (150) £25 Ann Hodges (167) £25 C. Jesudason (111) Village Show Thank you to Gail Coenen for organising another very successful Village Show this year which gave the residents of High Legh the opportunity to prove how talented they are. There was a new booking in system this year which definitely worked and kept the queues down. We had a wonderful array of exhibits with lots of fruit, vegetables, flowers and cookery with the men’s Victoria sponge category proving to be very popular with 15 entries. Art and craft were also well represented and the younger members of High Legh showed that they can grow, bake, sew and paint as enthusiastically as the adults. The Saturday afternoon viewing was well attended, with visitors who came to look at the produce, try their luck on the tombola, make a bid on the Silent Auction, enjoy the refreshments and watch the prize giving. New this year was a BBQ which proved to be very popular, no doubt helped by the good weather. Thank you to Pat and John Hurst for doing the BBQ. The show would not be possible without all the volunteers who help to set up, help on the day and clear up afterwards so a big thank you to them. Thank you to all the judges and to Lord Grey for presenting the prizes.

  • Appendix 4 Detailed Proposals for Each Ward – Organised by Local Area Partnership (LAP)
    Appendix 4 Detailed proposals for each Ward – organised by Local Area Partnership (LAP) Proposed Wards within the Knutsford Local Area Partnership Knutsford Local Area Partnership (LAP) is situated towards the north-west of Cheshire East, and borders Wilmslow to the north-east, Macclesfield to the south-east and Congleton to the south. The M6 and M56 motorways pass through this LAP. Hourly train services link Knutsford, Plumley and Mobberley to Chester and Manchester, while in the east of this LAP hourly trains link Chelford with Crewe and Manchester. The town of Knutsford was the model for Elizabeth Gaskell's novel Cranford and scenes from the George C. Scott film Patton were filmed in the centre of Knutsford, in front of the old Town Hall. Barclays Bank employs thousands of people in IT and staff support functions at Radbroke Hall, just outside the town of Knutsford. Knutsford is home to numerous sporting teams such as Knutsford Hockey Club, Knutsford Cricket Club, Knutsford Rugby Club and Knutsford Football Club. Attractions include Tatton Park, home of the RHS Flower show, the stately homes Arley Hall, Tabley House and Peover Hall, and the Cuckooland Museum of cuckoo clocks. In detail, the proposals are: Knutsford is a historic, self-contained urban community with established extents and comprises the former County Ward of Knutsford, containing 7 polling districts. The Parish of Knutsford also mirrors the boundary of this proposal. Knutsford Town is surrounded by Green Belt which covers 58% of this proposed division. The proposed ward has excellent communications by road, motorway and rail and is bounded to the north by Tatton Park and to the east by Birkin Brook.

  • Lct 5: Undulating Enclosed Farmland
    LCT 5: UNDULATING ENCLOSED FARMLAND General Description This character type is defined by undulating topography and the associated small to medium scale enclosure into which it is divided. Key characteristics are the generally cohesive and un-fragmented historic landscape in the south of the borough, small woodlands, ponds and streams, nucleated rural villages and scattered farmsteads. Land use is mainly pasture. Away from main roads, railways and settlement the landscape is generally quiet and rural. Views within this type very much depend upon location and the nature of the immediate topography. There is a range of monuments from Bronze Age barrows to post medieval canal locks. The character type is found across a large part of the Cheshire West and Chester borough; to the east between Northwich and the Sandstone Ridge and in the south of the borough. Visual Character The location of this landscape type is reflected in the prevailing views which extend to adjacent character areas, either out over the low-lying plain or up towards the often dominant Sandstone Ridge. Roads typically follow the rolling topography, offering extensive views from high vantage points out over the immediate field pattern and extending to the high ground in the far distance such as the Pennines in the east. Long distance views are sometimes affected by large scale industrial works in adjacent areas. LCT 5: Undulating Enclosed Farmland 138 From low ground the landscape appears smaller in scale due to the increase in enclosure and the contained views where skylines are typically formed by hedgerow trees, woodland and farmsteads, with occasional electricity pylons and church spires.

  • Conservation Management Plan
    G R A P P E N H A L L H E Y S W A L L E D G A R D E N CONSERVATION MANAGEMENT PLAN Prepared by the Parish Council of Grappenhall and Thelwall with assistance from LLOYD EVANS PRICHARD Grappenhall Heys Walled Garden Conservation Management Plan 2008 amended 05.12.11 GRAPPENHALL HEYS WALLED GARDEN Conservation Management Plan CONTENTS 1.0 Executive Summary 2.0 Background to the Plan 3.0 Understanding 4.0 Significance 5.0 Issue and Policies 6.0 Appendices 2 Grappenhall Heys Walled Garden Conservation Management Plan 2008 amended 05.12.11 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 Introduction This Conservation Management Plan (CMP) relates to the walled garden at Grappenhall Heys in south Warrington. The walled garden is the only remaining part of the estate of the Parr family, which had a significant role in the economic development of Warrington in the 19 th Century. The estate as a whole was in the hands of the Parr family until the period following WWII, after which the estate fell into decline and the house itself was demolished, though the walled garden remained. The walled garden survived and eventually came into public ownership; firstly it was owned by the Commission for the New Towns, then by English Partnerships (EP) and finally, today, by the Grappenhall and Thelwall Parish Council. Significantly, in the late 1990s, the area around the walled garden was developed for housing with great success, probably because of its proximity to the motorway network which provides ready access to Manchester and Liverpool.
