North East Community Forests Land Services Darlington Annual Report North East Community Forests Land Services Darlington Annual Report 2005-2006 North East Community Forests Land Services Darlington Annual Report 2005-2006 Introduction Darlington Borough Council delivers its practical countryside management on its nature reserves in partnership with the North East Community Forests Land Services. This practical conservation management takes a variety of forms and includes such things as wildflower meadow management, scrub management, work associated with pond management and work to improve access around the nature reserves. The service also provides some management work on the Public Right of Way system, including constructing steps to improve access, repairing stiles, re-siting Waymarker posts and drainage work to improve footpath surfaces. The year saw the number of Local Nature Reserves grow from the original four; The Whinnies, Brankin Moor, Brinkburn Pond and Drinkfield Marsh, to seven with the inclusion of Geneva Wood, Maidendale and Rockwell. NECF Land Services also successfully tendered for the provision of maintenance and conservation management of the new reserve at West Park. This meant that there was a larger amount of work to be done by the service, which was a challenge for all concerned. The Darlington Land Services Manager works in close consultation with Darlington Borough Council staff to establish the work programme for the work team. In this way the work associated with Public Rights of Way is given to the Land Services Manager by the PROW staff of Darlington Borough Council and both parties work in consultation to decide on the most effective habitat management for the nature reserves and to establish priorities and target completion dates. Delivery of the work programme The work team goes out four days a week, usually Monday to Thursday inclusive and currently it is attracting between 5 and 12 people daily. The total number of person days work delivered during the second year of the contract has been 1415; see attached spreadsheet for more details. These days have been divided between the seven nature reserves, public rights of way, the Black Poplar Project and West Park. Added value The recruitment of a Supervisor to join the Land Services Manager has continued to allow the project to expand extensively and provide a great of annual report 2005-6 text only 2 added value to the service. A large number of diverse groups have been involved in delivering the service during the year. The partnership begun in 2003-4 with the two main training agencies in Darlington, A4e and PPD to offer New Deal work placement opportunities continued for most of the year. However unfortunately A4e lost their contract with the local Job Centre to provide training for the New Deal contract in November and this had an impact on the number of people in the work team. The partnership with PPD continues to develop and this offers opportunities for unemployed people in Darlington to receive training in conservation work and has proved so successful that several people placed with us have continued to attend on a voluntary basis when their New Deal placements were completed. This was beneficial to all parties since it gave the volunteers the opportunity to continue with their volunteering and also provided a pool of experienced and dedicated workers. The service has been able to develop further this year, building on the experience of the Land Services Supervisor who has worked in Darlington for a number of years, previously with BTCV. The project that he developed with the Pierremont Unit of Darlington Memorial Hospital has proved a great success and some of the outpatients felt so comfortable with the work atmosphere provided that they started to attend for additional hours. Several of them attended for a full day, instead of two hours and some were even attending five days a week. The service has also begun a partnership with Community Payback in Darlington. This scheme is run by the Probation service and people who are given community service orders by the local courts have to work a certain number of unpaid hours and provide a benefit to the local community with their work. We have provided an opportunity for several suitably vetted people to work with us on the local nature reserves. We have also provided an opportunity for some of the staff from Cummins Engines to do some work on Maidendale Local Nature Reserve, which is adjacent to the Cummins’ factory. The employees spent two working alongside our work team to build two timber pond dipping platforms on two of the nature ponds on the reserve. The project worked extremely well since most of the employees were trained engineers and were able to assist in some of “on site” design work required to construct the platforms. The service has developed many other partnership opportunities for Darlington residents to experience practical conservation work first hand. These have been with such organisations as the Princes Trust, McMullen House, Millennium Volunteers, Wm. Morrison Trust, and Haughton School, where we have offered two pupils work placement opportunities. The placement was meant to be for two week in July, but once the placement arrangements had been made in October the school asked if the pupils could additionally attend every Monday morning. We were pleased to annual report 2005-6 text only 3 accommodate this request and subsequently one of the pupils has started looking into the possibility of a career in conservation management. All of the people who work on the service receive informal training in a wide variety of tasks that should prove useful to them in obtaining future employment. These tasks can include such things as using a strimmer, building stiles, steps, kissing gates and small bridges, tree planting and tree felling and wildflower meadow management. They also get the opportunity to meet and socialise with a wide variety of people of all ages in an informal social situation. They also get the opportunity to experience the routine of a work situation without the pressure of normal employment. We have also worked with the Darlington Countryside Service and Business in the Community and have given an opportunity for employees from CITI Financial, a financial services company in Sunderland to assist with repair of a surfaced footpath at Drinkfield Marsh. We have also continued to provide some opportunities for local people to get first hand experience of conservation work through the countryside events programme. These opportunities have included woodland management work at Geneva Wood, pond clearance at Brankin Moor as part of World Wetland Day, tree planting at Maidendale and footpath drainage on the Teesdale Way in Dinsdale Woods. Attendance at these events has been very variable and it has been found that reserves with active steering groups tend to attract more people. annual report 2005-6 text only 4 Management of Nature Reserves The nature reserves benefit from having management plans in place and the majority of the work done on the nature reserves is in line with these plans, although other work is also done, such as responding to acts of vandalism and other unforeseen events. The Whinnies Work on this nature reserve has included: • Removal of hawthorn scrub re-growth within a wildflower meadow area. • Repair cross drains and resurface path after putting new plastic pipe to improve drainage to footpath. • Clear fallen limbs of large willow tree near site entrance gate from housing estate • Vegetation clearance on the side of the reserve’s access paths. • Cutting of dominant meadowsweet to try to diversify the flora at the Goosepool end of the site. • Repair of vandalised footbridge over pond at west end of reserve • The pond extension from last year was found to dry out in the summer and therefore this extension was dug deeper to try to prevent this occurring Brankin Moor This is the smallest of the four original nature reserves and work has included: • Clearing out vegetation from overgrown pond as part of World Wetland Day. This was public participation event. • Planting of seven half-standard elm trees to improve habitat for White Letter Hairstreak butterfly that has been observed close to the reserve. • Vegetation clearance on the side of the site’s access paths. Brinkburn Pond Work on this nature reserve has included: • Vegetation clearance on the side of the site’s access paths. • Repair of vandalism damage to fishing platforms installed by the Environment Agency annual report 2005-6 text only 5 • Strimming of an area of the reserve for an event of the Tees Forest’s Storytelling Festival and erecting a marquee for the event. • Removal of rubbish from the pond. • Erecting of a new sign at the entrance of the reserve from the Black Path Drinkfield Marsh Work on this nature reserve has included: • Vegetation clearance on the side of the site’s access paths. • Strimming grassy areas of the site prior to the Tees Forest’s Storytelling Festival. • Regular strimming of the grassy entrance areas to the reserve. • Re-surfaced approximately 30 metres of eroded footpath with dolomite. This task also included one day of work with 10 volunteers from CITI Financial, a financial services company in Sunderland. • Wildflower meadow management, cutting and removal of vegetation and rotovating area. Geneva Wood Work on this nature reserve has included: • Glade creation by felling some of the dominant conifer species, which also assists with diversifying the canopy mix. One of the workdays was arranged to include members of the active steering group for this nature reserve. • Chipping the brash from the tree felling to prevent it being used as a fuel for vandals to start fires on the reserve. • Path surfacing using locally sourced road plannings and compacting of the plannings to form a good walking surface.

  • Northeast England – a History of Flash Flooding
    Northeast England – A history of flash flooding Introduction The main outcome of this review is a description of the extent of flooding during the major flash floods that have occurred over the period from the mid seventeenth century mainly from intense rainfall (many major storms with high totals but prolonged rainfall or thaw of melting snow have been omitted). This is presented as a flood chronicle with a summary description of each event. Sources of Information Descriptive information is contained in newspaper reports, diaries and further back in time, from Quarter Sessions bridge accounts and ecclesiastical records. The initial source for this study has been from Land of Singing Waters –Rivers and Great floods of Northumbria by the author of this chronology. This is supplemented by material from a card index set up during the research for Land of Singing Waters but which was not used in the book. The information in this book has in turn been taken from a variety of sources including newspaper accounts. A further search through newspaper records has been carried out using the British Newspaper Archive. This is a searchable archive with respect to key words where all occurrences of these words can be viewed. The search can be restricted by newspaper, by county, by region or for the whole of the UK. The search can also be restricted by decade, year and month. The full newspaper archive for northeast England has been searched year by year for occurrences of the words ‘flood’ and ‘thunder’. It was considered that occurrences of these words would identify any floods which might result from heavy rainfall.

  • Borough of Darlington Listed Buildings
    EXTRACTS FROM THE LISTS OF BUILDINGS OF SPECIAL ARCHITECTURAL OR HISTORIC INTEREST FOR THE BOROUGH OF DARLINGTON Updated 01/11/2016 Economic Initiative Division Darlington Borough Council INTRODUCTION WHAT THIS DOCUMENT REPRESENTS This document consists of an export from a Listed Buildings database maintained by Darlington Borough Council. The data has been captured from various statutory lists that have been compiled over the years by the Secretary of State for different parts of the Borough. Some of the information has been amended for clarity where a building has been demolished/de- listed, or an address has changed. Each entry represent a single ‘listing’ and these are arranged by parish or town. The vast majority of entries are in one-to-a-page format, although some of the more recent listings are more detailed and lengthy descriptions, spilling over to 2 or 3 pages. BACKGROUND The first listings, in what is now the Borough of Darlington, were made in 1952. The urban area was the subject of a comprehensive re-survey in 1977, and the rural area in 1986 (western parishes) and 1988 (eastern parishes). A number of formal changes to the lists have been made since, as individual buildings have been ‘spot-listed’, de-listed, had grades changed, descriptions altered and mistakes corrected. Further information on conservation in the Borough of Darlington can be found on our website. See www.planning.gov.uk/conservation. NAVIGATING THIS DOCUMENT Unfortunately there is no index to this document in its current format. Please use the text search facility provided in your PDF Viewer to find the entry that you require.

The CROW Act DEFRA has spent many years researching a series of initiatives aimed at improving countryside access (In particular the Milestones Process). One of its conclusions is that the current Public Rights of Way network in many parts of England and Wales is no longer delivering a facility entirely appropriate for present day and potential users. In addition, it was recognised that the existing management and maintenance regimes are not achieving significant levels of improvements. In response to this, a duty was placed on local authorities to prepare and publish a Rights of Way Improvement Plan as written in the Countryside & Rights of Way Act 2000. 2. It Is Timely: Drivers for Change The production of a Rights of Way Improvement Plan at this stage fits well with a host of agendas that are currently coming to the fore, for people and organisations involved in this sector.

  • Supported Bus Services – 2011 to 2014
    CABINET 13 SEPTEMBER 2011 ITEM NO. ....................... SUPPORTED BUS SERVICES – 2011 TO 2014 Responsible Cabinet Member – Councillor David Lyonette, Transport Portfolio Responsible Director – Richard Alty, Director of Place SUMMARY REPORT Purpose of the Report 1. To set out a method of achieving the required reduction in the supported bus service budget and the evidence collected about potential impacts. Summary 2. Most bus journeys in Darlington are operated commercially1 by Arriva North East and are complemented by 34 contracts paid for by the Council either for individual journeys or for complete services, where it feels that there is unmet travel need. In addition, the Council contributes towards the costs of 6 contracts issued by Durham and North Yorkshire County Councils for bus services that operate into the Borough. At their meeting on 3 March 2011, Council agreed to reduce the budget available for supported bus services by £100,000 per annum, such that the maximum available budget in 2011/12 is £381,000 although a lower value would be desirable. This decision follows a previous saving made through the withdrawal of financial support towards the Sunday train service to Bishop Auckland. 3. Following analysis of evidence & feedback received, it is recommended that members adopt a policy supporting the provision of early morning and daytime (8am to 6pm), Monday to Saturday bus journeys to the town centre. This policy would meet the majority of the need for bus travel to work (an especially significant reason for travel in the early morning), and also allow residents the ability to travel to shops and leisure facilities.
