  • 1 99-31 Lancashire Constabulary Pennine Division Community
    1 99-31 Lancashire Constabulary Pennine Division Community Support Department Sergeant J. Masterman Constable N. Lund Tel 01282 472247 Police Station, Parker Lane, Burnley, Lancs BBI 1 2BT PROBLEM ORIENTED POLICING COMPETITION THE TILLEY AWARD 1999 THE BURNLEY YOUTH SHELTER - A PURPOSE BUILT STREET CORNER ABSTRACT Harle Syke is an area of Burnley, which adjoins the rural parish of Briercliffe. Both areas consist of good class housing and enjoy a village atmosphere. This part of Burnley is about 2 miles away from the town centre and the recreational amenities for young people, which such an area provides. In Briercliffe, children up to the age of 12 have been provided with a play area containing swings, climbing frames etc, however the park is subject to a local bye law which legally excludes older children from entering or using it. There were no facilities available for the older children to use, which resulted in them congregating in places where they caused nuisance and offence to residents. 13 of the young people were arrested on one evening for causing a public nuisance after many complaints were made to the local beat officer over a period of time.. The result of neglecting the 12 to 18 year age groups has been felt not only in Burnley but in many other parts of the country as well. It has been established that 20% of police time is spent in dealngi with repeat nuisance which mainly originate from this older age group. Complaints of anti-social and criminal behaviour abound, such as gathering in large intimidating groups in residential areas, making noise, drinking alcohol, swearing and causing damage.

  • Cotton and the Community: Exploring Changing Concepts of Identity and Community on Lancashire’S Cotton Frontier C.1890-1950
    Cotton and the Community: Exploring Changing Concepts of Identity and Community on Lancashire’s Cotton Frontier c.1890-1950 By Jack Southern A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment for the requirements for the degree of a PhD, at the University of Central Lancashire April 2016 1 i University of Central Lancashire STUDENT DECLARATION FORM I declare that whilst being registered as a candidate of the research degree, I have not been a registered candidate or enrolled student for another aware of the University or other academic or professional institution. I declare that no material contained in this thesis has been used for any other submission for an academic award and is solely my own work. Signature of Candidate ________________________________________________ Type of Award: Doctor of Philosophy School: Education and Social Sciences ii ABSTRACT This thesis explores the evolution of identity and community within north east Lancashire during a period when the area gained regional and national prominence through its involvement in the cotton industry. It examines how the overarching shared culture of the area could evolve under altering economic conditions, and how expressions of identity fluctuated through the cotton industry’s peak and decline. In effect, it explores how local populations could shape and be shaped by the cotton industry. By focusing on a compact area with diverse settlements, this thesis contributes to the wider understanding of what it was to live in an area dominated by a single industry. The complex legacy that the cotton industry’s decline has had is explored through a range of settlement types, from large town to small village.

Background: As a Lead Local Flood Authority, Lancashire County Council has a role in coordinating flood risk activities and ensuring the free flow of communication and collaborative works. In order to help achieve this, Lancashire County Council and relevant risk management authorities meet regularly to discuss local flooding issues and to identify opportunities for managing future flood risks. This has worked very well up to now and has allowed risk management authorities to work closely together to tackle often complex and challenging situations. However following the significant flooding that hit Lancashire in December 2015, it became evident that improvements could be made to the way in which these messages get communicated to affected communities. As such, Lancashire County Council has now developed a series of district level reports which aim to provide affected communities with information about what relevant risk management authorities are doing in their areas to help manage the risk of flooding from a variety of sources.

  • Blakeney WW1 Casualties Pamela Peake
    Blakeney WW1 Casualties Pamela Peake Every year Blakeney, like many villages, towns and cities around the country, remembers the sacrifices made in both World Wars by men whose names are inscribed on village memorials. Who were they? In this study an attempt has been made to collect the names of all who served in WW1, with greater attention being paid to the casualties and it is this group that are considered here. This has not been an easy exercise as the names on the memorials are surnames with initials; nationwide the majority of memorials provide Christian names which makes identification easier. Additional confusion has come from errors introduced during the preparation of the memorial inscription when initials were sometimes transcribed incorrectly. However, one surprising result of this study is the recognition that not all the names of casualties for Blakeney appear on the memorials, both on New Road and in St Nicholas Church. Various accounts of the casualties have appeared over the past six years either in the Glaven Valley News or the BAHS Newsletters . At the same time display boards have appeared in the church with similar information plus photographs and details of the battles where individuals were killed. By September 1914 out of a population of 708 for the village, newspaper accounts show that 80 men had volunteered, by January 1915 this number had risen to 145 and over the next four years it would rise even higher. So there could hardly have been a family or house in the village that emerged untouched from the war. There are 39 known casualties for Blakeney and detailed records have been completed for 38 of them; these form the basis of the following account.
