  • 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.

    RIVER QUALITY SURVEY NATIONAL RIVERS AUTHORITY NORTHUMBRIA & YORKSHIRE REGION GQA ASSESSMENT 1994 PART 1 REA CH CLASSIFICA TION FRESHWATER RIVERS AND CANALS VERSION 1: AUGUST 1995 GQA ASSESSMENT 1994 \ NORTHUMBRIA & YORKSHIRE REGION To allow the development of a National method of evaluating water quality, the rivers in all the NRA regions of England and Wales have been divided into reaches, which are numbered using a coding system based on the hydrological reference for each river basin. Each classified reach then has a chemistry sample point assigned to it and these sample points are regularly monitored for Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Dissolved oxygen (DO) and Total Ammonia. The summary statistics calculated from the results of this sampling are sent to a National Centre where the GQA Grades are calculated. A National report is produced and each region can then produce more detailed reports on the quality of their own rivers. For Northumbria and Yorkshire Region, this Regional Report has been divided into two parts. PARTI: REACH CLASSIFICATION This report contains a listing of the river reaches within the region, with their start and finish grid reference, approximate length, and the 1990 and 1994 GQA class for each reach. The reference code of the chemistry sample point used to classify the reach is also included. A sample point may classify several reaches if there are no major discharges or tributaries dividing those reaches. The sample point used to classify a reach may change and the classification is therefore calculated using the summary statistics for each sample point that has been used over the past three years.

Mawson, Laburnum Barn (Erection of single storey extensions and conversion of 2 garages to home office) – the Parish Council had no objections. • Mr C. Lavington, Turnbridge House (2 applications) (Erection of agricultural building with solar panels and erection of detached garage) – the Parish Council had no objections. • Mr & Mrs J. Wilkin, Beck House Farm (Erection of extensions to 2 existing agricultural buildings) - The Parish Council did not object to or support the application, but requested that Harrogate Borough Council (HBC) Planning ensure the landscaping conditions associated with the original application were being met. Dog Fouling This issue continues to come up at Council Meetings and the Clerk has contacted HBC’s Dog Control Officer on several occasions in an effort to make progress. Despite having a photograph of a dog fouling, HBC is unable to take action against the owner as the dog was on private property at the time. We have ordered more signs but we are limited as to where they can legally be placed, so please contact the Clerk if you would like to display one on your property. Other than that, unless parishioners report details of incidents we are unable to do more.

  • Annual Review of Locality Budgets
    North Yorkshire County Council Corporate and Partnerships Overview and Scrutiny Committee 7 June 2021 Annual review of County Councillor Locality Budgets 2020/21 1. Purpose of the report 1.1. To review the operation of County Councillor Locality Budgets in the financial year 2020/21. 2. Background 2.1. Locality Budgets enable County Councillors to respond to local needs by recommending the allocation of small amounts of funding to support projects or activities that directly promote the social, economic or environmental wellbeing of the communities they represent. 2.2. The Locality Budgets scheme seeks to ensure that County Councillors have a clear role in the allocation of funding in their Division within the criteria and process agreed by the Executive. This role includes actively promoting the scheme within their Division so that the money is allocated to meet appropriate local needs. 2.3. Because the allocation of funding is an executive decision, decisions are made by the Executive Member with responsibility for Stronger Communities, taking into account the information received and the recommendation of the relevant County Councillor. 2.4. Transparency is a significant feature of the scheme: County Councillors are required to declare all relevant interests when making a recommendation, including membership or other connections with organisations that will benefit from or manage a Locality Budget award Awards are published on the County Council website at https://www.northyorks.gov.uk/county-councillor-locality-budgets 1 OFFICIAL 3. Summary of approved recommendations in 2020/21 3.1. In 2020/21 each County Councillor had a Locality Budget allocation of £10,000.

They set these according to different localities. For Harrogate, there is one main locality covering the majority of the District and three smaller areas to the south (Leeds), north (Richmond and Hambleton) and east (York) of the District. When you first make your claim, we will assess it based on the LHA rate that is in force at that time. Every following April, a reviewed rate will be applied to your claim.

Although the post comes with only half a stipend it should be borne in mind that Broughton is fortunate enough to have Christ Church as its patron and thus extra funding can be relied upon. What we have to offer though is a chance to live a rewarding family life in the most beautiful environment with opportunity for you and other members of the family to take advantage of other employment opportunities in the area. Our Parish is a member of the Society under the Patronage of St Wilfred and St Hilda. Having said that we would also be willing to consider a Priest who would be willing to become a member of the Society or even one who was in sympathy with its aims. Previous experience is not essential and our spiritual needs and the description of your pastoral duties and opportunities are dealt with elsewhere but we would stress that all our three Churches have no financial worries and our previous Rector was here for 18 happy and fulfilling years.
