We started in September 1910 and over the past 100 years have been associated with over 40 teams in our league, having started with only 10 teams in our inaugural year. The league originally started as a winter outlet for Young Men’s Societies to run alongside cricket as their summer pastime.

The league is local to Tameside and our teams have, represented Mosley, Stalybridge, Ashton-under-Lyne Dukinfield and Hyde. Our league has been well looked after by the local news media, particularly The Tameside Reporter and Tameside Radio.

    Report to: STRATEGIC COMMISSIONING BOARD Date: 12 February 2020 Executive Member/ Councillor Brenda Warrington, Executive Leader of Tameside Reporting Officer: Council Councillor Oliver Ryan, Executive Member for Finance & Economic Growth Dr Ashwin Ramachandra (Joint Chair of NHS Tameside & Glossop CCG) Dr Asad Ali – (Joint Chair of NHS Tameside & Glossop CCG) Sandra Stewart – Director of Governance & Pensions Sarah Threlfall – Assistant Director - Policy, Performance & Communications Subject: BUDGET CONVERSATION 2020-21 Report Summary: It is important that Tameside and Glossop Strategic Commission (Council and CCG) understand the priorities of the public – local residents, businesses, patients and service users. A public engagement exercise was launched between 13 December 2019 and 15 January 2020 to understand their priorities for spending within the context of the financial challenges facing public services. This engagement took the form of a conversation with the public on providing sustainable public services for the future, and encouraging residents to see themselves as citizens, not just consumers of services. The public were encouraged to leave comments and feedback through the Big Conversation including ideas and suggestions for saving money and improving services. The conversation has also been undertaken via attendance at existing meetings/forums supported by a communications campaign. This report covers four key elements: 1. Outlines the results of the Budget Conversation 2020/21 and the communication / publicity conducted to promote the consultation (Section 2.0 to 4.0) 2. Details key findings from thematic engagement and consultation in 2019. This review of all thematic activity in 2019 pulls out key and cross-cutting themes that will have relevance to future priorities and spending plans (Section 5.0) 3.

  • Tameside Interchange Consultation Report
    1 Contents 1. Introduction……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..... 3 2. Proposed Development……………………………………………………………………………………………………………… 4 3. Consultation Strategy…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. 7 4. Analysis of Responses…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. 15 5. Conclusion………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….. 27 6. Appendices………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… 28 2 1. Introduction 1.1 This report is written in support of Transport for Greater Manchester’s (TfGM) full planning application for the development of a new transport interchange, formation of bus concourse, redesign of carriageways and public realm on the site of the current Ashton Bus Station and Metrolink terminus. The site is located to the north west of Ashton town centre, adjacent to the A6043 Wellington Road and Arcades Shopping Centre, and 150 metres from Ashton Rail Station. 1.2 The purpose of this report is to record the consultation that TfGM carried out prior to submitting the full planning application. It describes the interchange scheme and the early design proposals, which formed the basis for consultation. It sets out the methods used to engage with stakeholders and members of local communities and summarises the responses that have influenced the submitted proposals. 1.3 The consultation took place between 15th August and 15th September 2015. 3 2 Proposed development 2.1 The Tameside Interchange is a key component of plans to grow and regenerate Ashton town centre which will also benefit the wider area of Tameside. The development will make it easier for people to change between travelling by bus, tram, bicycle, train and taxi and provide a substantial upgrade in facilities, making public transport, cycling and walking more attractive options. In turn this will increase access to jobs, learning and leisure opportunities. The proposed development supports the Vision Tameside Strategy for the borough.

  • Pdf Read All About
    Read All About It! Newspapers as a treasure trove Research in most formal record sources will provide you with facts but not 'stories'. There are also lots of events which may have touched on your ancestors' lives, but which left no formal record. Perhaps they saved someone from drowning, won a prize at an agricultural show or witnessed an accident. Newspapers can provide that vital record of events which otherwise would have passed without note. Until recent decades, newspapers were only helpful if you knew when and where an event took place as few are indexed in any thorough way. It is only with the advent of online digital copies of an increasing number of newspapers that they have become a place where you can look for your ancestors and accounts of their part in events which help to bring them alive as individuals. Online Newspapers There are several web sites offering copies of historical newspapers, some dating back to the 18th century. All offer the ability to search the text of all issues over a period of time for appearances of specified words or phrases. This is made possible by the text of the scanned newspaper pages having been processed into machine-readable text using Optical Character recognition (OCR) software. Search results link to images of the scanned page, or section of the page, on which each article containing the specified text appears. Note: OCR is not a perfect process, particularly with small newsprint. The machine-readable text may contain conversion errors and so you may find that a search for a word or phrase does not produce matches for all the articles in which it appears, although the search algorithms try to make some allowance for this.

The Single Commission were asked to bring back a fully developed proposed model to the Strategic Commissioning Board (SCB) in December 2017. Due to the richness of evidence arising from the public consultation and in particular from the Glossop neighbourhood, this is an interim report to inform the Strategic Commissioning Board of the consultation progress and process, initial themes and the next steps to ensure a final report to the Strategic Commissioning Board January 2018 meeting. Recommendations: The Strategic Commissioning Board is advised to consider the attached report, which provides detail on the consultation process and the initial themes arising. The Strategic Commissioning Board is requested to note that the Equality Impact Assessment is a work in progress and will be developed further to ensure it responds to issues raised within the consultation and explores whether additional mitigations will be required. A further report will be received by the Strategic Commissioning Board in January 2018, to determine the way forward. Financial Implications: Budget Allocation (if Proposed recurrent budget of Investment Decision) £8,032k, which represents a (Authorised by the statutory saving against current Section 151 Officer & Chief expenditure.
