Background: As a Lead Local Flood Authority, Lancashire County Council has a role in coordinating flood risk activities and ensuring the free flow of communication and collaborative works. In order to help achieve this, Lancashire County Council and relevant risk management authorities meet regularly to discuss local flooding issues and to identify opportunities for managing future flood risks. This has worked very well up to now and has allowed risk management authorities to work closely together to tackle often complex and challenging situations. However following the significant flooding that hit Lancashire in December 2015, it became evident that improvements could be made to the way in which these messages get communicated to affected communities. As such, Lancashire County Council has now developed a series of district level reports which aim to provide affected communities with information about what relevant risk management authorities are doing in their areas to help manage the risk of flooding from a variety of sources.

The Local Plan Timeframe to 2050 is not justified and unsound due to lack of required evidence 1.1. The strategic development requirement for 15,992 new dwellings is not based on sound statistical evidence and is significantly over-inflated by the extension of the end date out to 2050, increasing the housing demand over the current Local Plan (2027) by 215% 1.2. None of the West Lancashire neighbouring Authorities have forecast their housing demand beyond 2033 and even professional Government statisticians do not forecast population growth and housing need beyond 2041. Source: Office for National Statistics, Population Projections. 1.3 The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) also considers a planning horizon of 15 years as a reasonable timeframe for realistic and achievable planning (NPPF paragraph 22). We are not aware of any local authority development plan being approved for anything above a 20-year period for the good reason that population projections are not available.

    'Salad Days of a Prime Minister' a Four-Part Series by Owen Taylor

    Holy Trinity, Bickerstaffe Supplement Issue August 2020 ‘Salad Days of a Prime Minister’ A Four-Part Series By Owen Taylor Due to the Covid 19 Pandemic, we have not printed the monthly Bickerstaffe Church Magazine. We hope you enjoy this special supplement containing all four parts of the series. Please feel free to print and distribute copies to your neighbours. Page 2 ‘Salad Days of a Prime Minister’ By Owen Taylor Much has been written about Richard John Seddon, Victorian Premier of New Zealand, but almost nothing has been revealed about his childhood visits and two year stay at Barrow Nook Hall Farm. Fortunately, former local Carpenter, John Pennington, who was a great admirer of the Premier, jotted down many of the stories his father imparted to him about his boyhood friendship with Richard John. It appears the first visit to his Grandfather's farm began at an early age. He made the journey by rail from St Helens to Rainford Junction accompanied by his father. On reaching Moss Lane after a two mile walk, they called for pies at his Uncle's newly acquired provision shop. It was from this location that Edward Pennington and another local farmer's son, Richard Stockley, became acquainted with Richard John. The threesome became friends, an attachment that lasted many years. Barrow Nook Hall Farm – The 1851 Census names ‘Richard John Seddon’ as a Tenant Farmer, the New Zealand Premier’s Grandfather. Page 3 Memories of this period were never forgotten. He often recalled being a witness to the vivid spectacle of the 13th Earl of Derby's funeral and the profound effect it had on him as a six-year old.
