  • Electoral Review of Salford City Council
    Electoral review of Salford City Council Response to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England’s consultation on Warding Patterns August 2018 1 1 Executive Summary 1.1 Salford in 2018 has changed dramatically since the city’s previous electoral review of 2002. Salford has seen a turnaround in its fortunes over recent years, reversing decades of population decline and securing high levels of investment. The city is now delivering high levels of growth, in both new housing and new jobs, and is helping to drive forward both Salford’s and the Greater Manchester economies. 1.2 The election of the Greater Manchester Mayor and increased devolution of responsibilities to Greater Manchester, and the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, is fundamentally changing the way Salford City Council works in areas of economic development, transport, work and skills, planning, policing and more recently health and social care. 1.3 Salford’s directly elected City Mayor has galvanised the city around eight core priorities – the Great Eight. Delivering against these core priorities will require the sustained commitment and partnership between councillors, partners in the private, public, community and voluntary and social enterprise sectors, and the city’s residents. This is even more the case in the light of ongoing national policy changes, the impending departure of the UK from the EU, and continued austerity in funding for vital local services. The city’s councillors will have an absolutely central role in delivering against these core priorities, working with all our partners and residents to harness the energies and talents of all of the city.

Like many of the other valleys in the Lake District, we might assume it is purely of volcanic and glacial origin, which indeed it is. But a quick glance at the map tells us that rather than being a natural lake we are looking at a reservoir. The passage of time has softened the shoreline of the lake to the extent that it now appears perfectly natural. However, when the water level is low little clues to the past may emerge... What lies beneath Haweswater reservoir? When the water level is low the tops of old stone walls stick out of the water like the scales of crocodiles basking in the sun. The stone walls are in fact the remnants of a lost village. The valley used to have a small hamlet at its head – Mardale Green – but this was submerged in the late 1930s when the water level of the valley’s original lake was raised to form a reservoir.

Dawson (Vice-Chairman), Mrs J. Bialy, Mrs H. Brownlow, Mrs V. Barkway, Mrs J. Dawson, Mr I. Dickinson, Mrs C. Foster, Mr H Fry, Mrs K Fry, Mrs S. Gregory, Mr T. Harrison, Mrs S. Hayton, Mr P.

Barkway COUNCILLOR COLLINS was invited to address the meeting. He discussed the “Certificate of Lawfulness” issued to Mr Pennington trading as Kentmere Water Co., to extract water from the leadmines spring which is already connected to the Staveley public water supply. Although Mr Pennington has been able to establish that extracting water by means of road tankers would not in itself be a change of use for planning purposes, if this were to be done on an industrial scale, it might be reconsidered. In questions, it was suggested that, although the site is outside the parish, residents might be affected by a serious increase in road congestion. Councillor Collins also warned of a significant increase in next year’s Council Tax. MINUTES OF THE PREVIOUS AGM HELD ON 13TH MARCH 1998 AT 8.27 P.M. The minutes were read and Mrs J.

  • Chapter Three
    Chapter Three In 1906 Canon Rawnsley wrote a book entitled Months of the Lakes, which featured a chapter about Mardale and the hunt. Rawnsley didn’t’ like hunting but the following passage suggests either he actually went or interviewed someone who did, The following text is copied from the original. THE MARDALE SHEPHERDS' MEETING. There lies to the east of the great High Street range a little water flood the Roman soldiers looked on with delight, for it called them back to their own lakeland hills, but they looked on it too with awe, for its waters seemed as black as the Stygian lake they feared. Ages before the Romans ran their high street, this lake was cared for by the shepherd children of Neolithic times. Their camps, their burial grounds, their standing stones are with us on the fell sides that slope to this lake which we call Haweswater to-day. The Vikings gave it that name, for it means the Halse Water or Neck-Water, and the neck is the promontory that the Messand beck in lapse of centuries has made, that runs out from the north-west shore towards the Naddle forest, and so nearly divides the lake in two, that one end is called Low Water and the other High Water. An aerial view of the old lakes of Haweswater, notice the narrowing between high and low water, called the straits, the new road scar can be seen on the far side of the valley. One can get to the lake from Penrith up the Lowther valley or from Shap and Bampton, and when one has reached it one cannot linger by the shore if the sun is westering, for there is no house of call nearer than the Dun Bull, and this is a mile beyond Haweswater, beneath the Nan Bield Pass.

  • THE CHURCHES of LANCASTER -THEIR CONTRIBUTION to the LANDSCAPE by P
    Contrebis 2000 THE CHURCHES OF LANCASTER -THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO THE LANDSCAPE by P. Gedge A dominant image of Lancaster is of the parish church standing on the hill overlooking the town, alongside the castle - symbolising that union of church and state which characterised medieval Christendom. The Romans seem to have been the first to grasp the strategic importance of this site and constructed a fort c.80 AD. A small town developed below and Church Street still marks the line of the road from the east gate. Some time after the Roman empire collapsed Christians began worshipping in the fort area, as happened elsewhere such as York. Exactly when the first Christian church was built on Castle Hill is not clear. Some claim c630. Fragments of Anglian crosses and remains of a pre-Nornan church survive with a simple Saxon doorway in the west end of the existing church. So a stone church has held this commanding position in Lancaster's townscape for over a thousand years. In 1094 this church was given by Roger of Poitou, to the Abbey of St Martin of Seez and Benedictine monks from there founded a Priory with residential buildings. In 1428 this was transferred to the Convent of Sion in Middlesex and the church became the Parish Church of one of those large parishes typical of Lancashire. The present building which so dominates the skyline, is principally a fifteenth century rebuilding with a high tower rebuilt in 'Gothick' style in 1754. Only two other medieval ecclesiastical buildings are recorded in Lancaster as the town remained small.
