The images and sound recording could be used for training purposes within the Council. The Chair had the discretion to terminate or suspend filming if it was his opinion that continuing to do so would prejudice the proceedings of the meeting. It was likely that recording cameras would capture the image of persons seated in the public gallery and that image would become part of the broadcast. Any views expressed by any speaker in the meeting were the speaker’s own and did not necessarily reflect the views of Staffordshire Moorlands District Council. b) Members of the Committee and Officers present were introduced by the Chair. c) Agenda Item 11 (SMD/2017/0764 – Rock House Farm, Town End Road, Foxt) had been DEFERRED to the next meeting, to be held on Thursday 12 April 2018. 117 MINUTES OF THE PREVIOUS MEETING RESOLVED – That the Public Minutes of the Planning Applications Committee held on 15 February 2018 be APPROVED as a correct record and signed by the Chair. 118 URGENT ITEMS, IF ANY.

Davies & Interest – Biddulph Town K. Jackson Councillors 120 APPLICATION TO POLLARD PROTECTED TREES AT 137 WILLOW DRIVE, CHEDDLETON (Report recommended refusal) CONSIDERED – A report on an application to pollard two Lime trees at 137 Willow Drive, Cheddleton, protected within Area A1 under Tree Preservation Order (TPO) No. SM.213. The proposed pollarding would be significantly detrimental to the amenity value currently provided by the application trees as contribution to the well wooded landscape structure of St Edward’s Park. There was nothing to suggest that the trees were likely to fail if the works were not undertaken. The reasons for the application were not considered to justify such work. Pollarding would therefore be in conflict with the Council’s adopted Tree Strategy. RESOLVED – That the application be REFUSED for the reason and based on the policies contained in the report. (Proposed by Councillor Lockett and seconded by Councillor P. Jackson.) 121 SMD/2017/0648 - LATE SHOP, 34-36 PICTON STREET, LEEK.

Members agreed that there was a shortage of parking spaces in the area but this was an inconvenience to the public, not a highway safety issue so not deemed to be a reason for refusal. 3. Concerns were also raised regarding the amenity space available for the dwellings. Councillor Lockett proposed REFUSAL. However, the motion was not seconded. RESOLVED – That the application be APPROVED for the reasons and based on the policies contained in the report, subject to the conditions and informatives shown in the report. (Proposed by Councillor P. Jackson and seconded by Councillor Roberts.) Following the vote, concerns were expressed by the speaker – Mr. Steven Goodwin – and the Chair found it necessary to apologise to other members of the public present following the outburst. 122 SMD/2017/0460 - MILLWARD HALL YOUTH CENTRE, SALISBURY STREET, LEEK.

TrackliftedtoCauldonLowe The voice of Campaign for Rail in the West Midlands COMMENT Imagine buying a vacuum cleaner and taking it back next day because it didn’t work. ‘Were you trying to use late afternoon? It’s not valid at that time. We didn’t tell you when we sold you it.’ Instead of vacuum cleaner, read ‘off peak rail ticket’. Twice recently I have bought rail tickets from booking clerks who have only asked if I am travelling after 09.30. In both cases, I later discovered they were not valid for my afternoon return journey. The problem is with Cross Country. It has decided some afternoon trains are ‘peak’ but it doesn’t identify them in its timetables and Cross Country unhelpfully only tells us, ‘off peak times vary by route’. As the i newspaper said about rail tickets re- cently, ‘Peak time is now more difficult to define in a sentence than the Higgs boson.’ Equally useless from Cross Country is, ‘Break of journey is generally permitted unless prohibited for the journey you are making.’ Each ticket says, ‘Route: Any permitted’ and ‘Validity: See restrictions.’ But where? A CfR member tried to buy a ticket to Kidderminster which involved going south via Bromsgrove to Droitwich Spa and then doubling back.

  • The Mining Industry in North Staffordshire, a Personal Perspective
    The Mining Industry in North Staffordshire A Personal Perspective by Jim Worgan The Mining Industry in North Staffordshire A Personal Perspective by Jim Worgan Silverdale Colliery closed on the 31st December 1998, thus bringing to an end over 800 years of coal and ironstone mining in North Staffordshire. At its height the industry employed over 30,000 men and women and output reached 7 million tons of coal and 2½ million tons of ironstone per annum. Today many buildings and monuments dot the skyline, the most significant being:- a) Chatterley Whitfield Colliery which closed in 1977 and then opened as the first ever underground Mining Museum in Great Britain in 1979. Shortly before it closed in August 1993 the site became scheduled as an Ancient Monument comprising 34 buildings dating from 1883 to the 1960s, most of which are scheduled or listed. It is the most complete coal mine in Great Britain and possibly Western Europe. Most of the site, which amongst others contains the headgears (metal structures and pulley wheels) of the Hesketh, Platt, Institute and Winstanley shafts, is derelict although two or three buildings have been restored. These are now in use for commercial purposes and by the Chatterley Whitfield Friends (a Charity Organisation) who are doing everything they can “to keep the site alive”. They have a large archive of photographs, documents, plans/maps and artefacts and their Heritage Centre on site is normally open to the public by appointment. b) Foxfield Colliery at Godley Brook (Dilhorne) in the Cheadle Coalfield where most of the former colliery site survives.

(Source: http://beefur.blogspot.co.uk). Summit Level: 484ft above sea level 76ft above T&M summit level History: The Early Years (1778-1801) The Caldon Canal (or, more correctly, the Caldon Branch of the Trent & Mersey Canal) opened in December 1778, running from a junction with the summit level of the T&M main line (opened 1775) at Etruria top lock to Froghall (Old Wharf) where it served the quarries at Caldon Low. The distance from Etruria to Froghall by canal is 17 miles (in a straight west-east line it is less than 10 miles) and required 17 locks. Its summit level (reached at Stockton Brook) is 484ft above sea level and 76ft above the summit level of the T&M Canal. It was extended to a new wharf in 1785. There had been proposals in the early 1770s to build a canal from the T&M summit level to Leek, including one using tub-boats and inclined planes, but no Acts were obtained. The Act for the Caldon Canal was obtained in 1776 following contracts being arranged with the owners of the quarries in the Caldon Low area (to the east of Froghall).
