  • CHANGE at CHERRY TREE Report1

    CHANGE at CHERRY TREE Report1

    Fund ed thanks to: • BwDBC Local Transport Plan 3 • BwD CONNECT Project (Local Sustainable Transport Funding) • Designated Line Community Rail Development Fund • Northern Rail ALL CHANGE AT CHERRY TREE - a Blackburn with Darwen BC and Community Rail Lancashire community art and horticultural project with a musical difference! • All change at Cherry Tree aimed to establish Cherry Tree Station as a gateway to the local community and to the nearby Witton Country Park. • The station is on the Preston to Colne line and is served by an hourly diesel service between Preston and Colne. Th e facilities offered to passengers were very basic, with approaches to the platforms infested with weeds and litter and shelters and running in boards bearing the brunt of regular bouts of vandalism over a number of years. Viewed as a no go area especially in the evenings the station required immediate action to develop a safe and smart local public transport gateway for the local community . • Despite th e extremely poor waiting environment and issues of anti -social behaviour the station has averaged growth of 12% per annum over the last 5 years and Community Rail Lancashire and Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council both recognised the potential for further growth through considerable latent demand given its proximity to the commuter hubs of Preston and Blackburn and the growth of students needing to travel to college s in both towns. A key issue was, therefore, how to deal with the anti -social behaviour at the station and the tired looking environment and its effect on the imag e of the local area and future passenger demand.

It is recognised as a contributing factor in the onset of heart disease and cancer. Additionally, air pollution particularly affects the most vulnerable in society: children and older people, and those with heart and lung conditions. There is also often a strong correlation with equalities issues, because areas with poor air quality are also often the less affluent areas1,2. The annual health cost to society of the impacts of particulate matter alone in the UK is estimated to be around £16 billion3. There are four Air Quality Management Areas (AQMAs) in the Borough. They were declared because nitrogen dioxide levels were too high. These AQMAs are located at busy urban junctions where nearby buildings hinder the dispersion of traffic exhaust fumes: - Intack - Bastwell - Blackamoor - Four Lane Ends In general terms, there has been a gradual reduction in nitrogen dioxide exposure, and this reduction became more significant from 2017 onwards. There hasn’t been an exceedance at a relevant receptor4 during 2017 and 2018.
  • Foreword This Chronicle Commenced Sunday, February

    Foreword This Chronicle Commenced Sunday, February

    ‘Festina Lente’ (Be Quick Without Impetuosity) Foreword This chronicle commenced Sunday, February 15th, 1998. The time is 7 PM in the evening. I, Norman John Bury, of 8 Saunders Street Westall, Clayton South, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, have decided that it is now time to make a serious commitment to begin this challenging task, so that future generations can have access to records in some traceable form of the past movements and whereabouts of our ancestors, for the sake of our immediate families, and for all generations to come. This chronicle will be continually updated as often as practible and the latest is Wednesday, June 18th, 2003, with information gathered since the above starting point. My wife Beverley (nee Doutch), and our two sons Peter John Bury, and Mark David Bury, need first to be recorded, and their families also. Peter John Bury, wife Lynnette Anne Bury (nee Bannon), son Aron John, and daughter Naomi Anne. Mark David Bury, wife Danita Anne Bury (nee Ozinger), daughters Carly Anne, and Amber Lucy. Their timelines and genealogical information are enclosed as an appendix to this work. Since the passing of my own father (John (Jack) Bury, and his father before him, (my grandfather, John William Bury), the subsequent discovery and sorting of private documents has provided information previously unavailable to us, as most of the knowledge that is needed to weave to-gether those threads from the past has gone to rest with their passing. By contacting the Lancashire Family History and Heraldry Society, and the Lancashire Evening Telegraph, we have discovered my grandfather’s brother, Esau Bury, who was at first thought to be the older brother of five children.
