  • Youth Arts Audit: West Cheshire and Chester: Including Districts of Chester, Ellesmere Port and Neston and Vale Royal 2008
    YOUTH ARTS AUDIT: WEST CHESHIRE AND CHESTER: INCLUDING DISTRICTS OF CHESTER, ELLESMERE PORT AND NESTON AND VALE ROYAL 2008 This project is part of a wider pan Cheshire audit of youth arts supported by Arts Council England-North West and Cheshire County Council Angela Chappell; Strategic Development Officer (Arts & Young People) Chester Performs; 55-57 Watergate Row South, Chester, CH1 2LE Email: [email protected] Tel: 01244 409113 Fax: 01244 401697 Website: www.chesterperforms.com 1 YOUTH ARTS AUDIT: WEST CHESHIRE AND CHESTER JANUARY-SUMMER 2008 CONTENTS PAGES 1 - 2. FOREWORD PAGES 3 – 4. WEST CHESHIRE AND CHESTER PAGES 3 - 18. CHESTER PAGES 19 – 33. ELLESMERE PORT & NESTON PAGES 34 – 55. VALE ROYAL INTRODUCTION 2 This document details Youth arts activity and organisations in West Cheshire and Chester is presented in this document on a district-by-district basis. This project is part of a wider pan Cheshire audit of youth arts including; a separate document also for East Cheshire, a sub-regional and county wide audit in Cheshire as well as a report analysis recommendations for youth arts for the future. This also precedes the new structure of Cheshire’s two county unitary authorities following LGR into East and West Cheshire and Chester, which will come into being in April 2009 An audit of this kind will never be fully accurate, comprehensive and up-to-date. Some data will be out-of-date or incorrect as soon as it’s printed or written, and we apologise for any errors or omissions. The youth arts audit aims to produce a snapshot of the activity that takes place in West Cheshire provided by the many arts, culture and youth organisations based in the county in the spring and summer of 2008– we hope it is a fair and balanced picture, giving a reasonable impression of the scale and scope of youth arts activities, organisations and opportunities – but it is not entirely exhaustive and does not claim to be.

  • Wincham Word Winter 2013/14
    Winter 2014 Starlings over Neumann’s Flash photographed by Joanne Redley of the Friends of Anderton and Marbury (FoAM). Chairman’s Words by Councillor Pete O’Halloran, Chairman of Wincham Parish Council Gosh February 2014 already, it seems like only yesterday we were celebrating Christmas. By the looks of things we’re going to have a busy year this year with some interesting opportunities, challenges and plans coming through. Firstly I have to say a big thank you to one of our Ward Councillors Don Hammond who has secured us substantial funding for the planned toddler area on the Linnards Lane Playing Fields. This and the large grant from the QEII fund along with a contribution from Thor Chemicals which Naomi our Parish Clerk obtained means that work can commence. Running in parallel to this we are also looking at obtaining funding for a permanent War Memorial for the village to coincide with the commemorative events of the Great War. Speeding through the village is an issue raised by a lot of people, and some of you may have noticed villagers out and about with interactive speed equipment. The purpose for this was to collect evidence to obtain a permanent interactive sign. We would be required to part fund this but I feel this could be worthwhile as our observations show that when people see the sign they slow down. Also starting this year will be “Village Strolls”, where Wincham Parish Councillors walk through sections of Wincham with CWaC representatives. This will give us an opportunity to highlight issues directly with the relevant CWaC officials.

  • Summary of Cheshire Moths: 2008-2013
    CHESHIRE (VICE COUNTY 58) SUMMARY OF CHESHIRE MOTHS: 2008-2013 Authors: Steve H. Hind and Steve Holmes Date: December 2015 Summary of Cheshire Moths 2008-2013 Introduction With the absence of an annual moth report for six years and following publication of the 2014 report earlier this year, we have attempted to bring together some of the main changes to the counties moth populations since the last county report for 2007. Individual Micro-moth reports were published for 2008 and 2009 in the Journal of the Lancashire & Cheshire Entomological Society, Volumes 133 & 134, for Sessions 2009 & 2010 of the Annual Report & Proceedings but this is the first report to include the counties macro-moths for those years. Unfortunately, the amount of work required to produce a similar type of document to the 2014 report would have taken well over a year or more to complete and as such a more selective approach has been taken; this translates to producing an account for just those species that have either: been reported on very few occasions, or have undergone significant changes, either in terms of distribution or population Summary No fewer than seven new macro-moth and 23 micro-moth species appeared for the first time in Cheshire during the period covered by this publication; an astonishing number brought about by Moth recording continuing to increase during the period, especially of micro-moths. We received a record 8,200 records of micro-moths in 2008, yet this more than doubled to 17,700 in 2013. There are a number of references, particularly within the accounts relating to macro-moths, where mention is made of either: the nth Cheshire record, or only ‘n’ records this century, or only ‘n’ Cheshire records To clarify these comments, they all relate to known, submitted, validated records within the County database.

  • Strategic Growth Sites E N E
    n o i t a r Assessing climate risks and opportunities for e n e g y g r strategic growth sites e n E • k The effects of climate change are already s i R being felt in Cheshire & Warrington (C&W) g through an increase in frequency of severe n i g weather events such as intense rainfall, high a n winds and prolonged periods of ice and snow. a M • We have also seen an increase in flooding, both from rivers bursting their banks and from surface water caused by y t i periods of high rainfall. Such incidents pose a threat not only u n to homes and people, but also to businesses, with a i t consequent threat to economic growth and prosperity. n o C s s e n i s u B • e c I d n a w o n S At the same time such events also present opportunities for / local companies to develop products and systems to combat d o the effects of climate change as well as installing measures that o l reduce carbon dioxide (CO ) emissions and reduce energy bills. F 2 • Recognising these threats and opportunities, the Cheshire & e Warrington Local Economic Partnership (LEP) commissioned a g study to assess the risks and opportunities at the strategic growth a t r sites and sectors in the region. These sites include both existing o employment sites and those earmarked for future development. h S l The second phase, which is about to commence, will involve e engagement with businesses and site developers to encourage u F them to take action to combat the risks and seize the opportunities.

The Story of the Belgian Refugees during the Great War. By Alan Lowe. Aliens in Mid Cheshire. The story of the Belgian refugees. A fact that is not widely known is that a few hundred Belgian refugees found their way to Mid Cheshire in the first months of WWI. They were welcomed with open arms at first with the people of the area organising places for them to stay, finding or making clothes for them and putting on shows and entertainment to help pay for their welfare. But as might be expected that welcome wore thin as the months and years went by, and after an initial rush to organise fund raisers and entertainment for the visitors they slowly disappeared from the pages of the local press only to reappear when they were involved in some minor fracas or a baptism or in two sad cases, funerals. As many as 250,000 made it to Britain. They came to escape the German hordes who had invaded their country. Many more that had entered Holland for the same reason were denied access to Britain because the Dutch government felt that allowing them to go might affect their neutral status. In Mid Cheshire they were housed at the Grange in Hartford, (Not the present school but a building further back.) at Wharton Lodge in Winsford (kindly donated by Miss Aspinall-Dudly.) and at Bachelor's Hall in the Avenue at Winnington, the latter thanks to the generosity of Sir John Brunner who also donated £1,000 towards their upkeep.
