  • The Prospects Foundation Annual Report
    THE PROSPECTS FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT 2016 - 2017 FORWARD FROM THE CHAIRMAN MISSION AND THEMES Next year in December we will be celebrating the twentieth anniversary of the Foundation – although The PROSPECTS Foundation is Hyndburn’s community owned environmental charity and we are PROSPECTS as a whole has already passed that milestone. This means we are approaching the time to something of a unique and wonderful organisation. We were established in 1998 by local people and reflect on what we have all achieved together. But there is no time to sit back on our laurels - this year have lots of skills and environmental knowledge which we use and pass on when delivering projects we look forward to continuing the good work. around the Borough. We support a network of PROSPECTS Panels as well as schools and community groups to help them develop their own ideas to improve the environment. In the tumultuous and “interesting” political year we have just seen, the environment, as ever, has been pushed to the back seat. While President Trump rows back on US commitments to combatting climate We focus our work on 6 Themes of Sustainability, which means that our actions are not harmful to change our own Government has signalled its policy of reliance on fossil fuels by consenting fracking the environment, they take account of both local and global issues and positively contribute to the in Lancashire. Globally environmental indicators are not good – habitat loss, species extinction rates, reduction of climate change. Our 6 Themes are: ocean plastic, city air quality, loss of polar ice - you could get discouraged! BIODIVERSITY One interesting reflection though is that experience shows that giving up, just sitting back and expecting protecting and enhancing local wildlife and plant life “them” to come up with solutions is not going to get us very far.

  • Annual Report 2018 - 2019
    ANNUAL REPORT 2018 - 2019 CHAIRMAN’S INTRODUCTION Once again our annual report sets out the work of the Foundation over the past year. The charity is now into its twenty-first year and this year we will be celebrating what has been achieved over the last two decades and we will also be doing all we can to enliven the spirit of community action for the environment into the future. The charity and its staff and trustees are vital for local people and groups to maintain the momentum, but those who were involved with PROSPECTS at the start will know that there is much more to our movement than what the Foundation does. The challenge is of course greater than ever if we are to believe that action at the local level is going to make a difference. I do believe that - but the levels of external support are lower than they used to be and we are more and more reliant on our own energy and resources. PROSPECTS has always put great store by local knowledge and people’s natural aspirations to do their best for the community where they live. We continue to need new community participants and fresh ideas about what is needed around the borough. So the Foundation has embarked on an effort to re-energise the PROSPECTS Panels and generate new ideas and to attract more people to get involved. We know that it is project work that gets people interested and we will be working with the Panels, looking for fresh proposals that are meaningful to the community and which make a contribution to the environment.

  • Submission by Read Parish Council to Lancashire County Council Representatives and Regulatory Committee
    SUBMISSION BY READ PARISH COUNCIL TO LANCASHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVES AND REGULATORY COMMITTEE In June 2011 a request for a public path/cycleway creation for the 800 metres of disused railway between footpath 11 (Dunkirk Farm Lane) and the Martholme viaduct was refused by Lancashire County Council Environment Directorate. The reasons for refusal were the assertions of the owner of Bridge Hey Wood Caravan Park that it would adversely affect his business interests and damage the local economy, and the ongoing maintenance costs of the Martholme viaduct. This stretch of disused railway had been used for almost 40 years by local walkers and cyclists as a link across the River Calder and during this time Bridge Hey Wood caravan site evolved from a small group of riverside weekend cabins to the 100 plus unit caravan site which it has now become. Access was blocked in 2001 due to the Foot and Mouth outbreak. Despite an offer to provide a security fence and gate when funds were available under the REMADE Project the landowner consistently refused requests to allow access, even on a trial basis. On the Hyndburn side of the viaduct the disused railway is part of the Lancashire Cycleway which passes through Great Harwood and Rishton and thence on to Blackburn passing close to industrial parks and other areas of employment. The 800 metre link to Read would facilitate easier cycle access from Hyndburn and Blackburn to industrial parks in Simonstone, Altham, Padiham and Burnley via the Padiham Greenway for which an extension has recently been announced. The link would connect the footpaths in Hyndburn to the Calder Valley network creating an unbroken path from Whalley and Great Harwood along the Calder Valley to Padiham and beyond.
