Nick came to Pennine Lancashire in 1990, since when both Mid Pennine Arts and the area have been through some big changes. Nick grew up in the flatlands - school in Cambridge, a student in Norwich - and then spent the seven years of his first arts job helping establish the Norwich Arts Centre in a redundant mediaeval church. He worked for a few other arts agencies around East Anglia and then migrated north-west, getting to know Liverpool (the Everyman), Nottingham (the Festival) and Manchester (the Green Room) before settling here in the hills. Nick is responsible for leading the Mid Pennine Arts team and for overseeing all aspects of its work. Much of his time is spent on representing MPA and making connections - building partnerships and identifying the best opportunities for projects. Of late, this has meant putting the arts at the heart of regeneration and renewal for Pennine Lancashire. The recently Andy Holt, the proprietor of The Real Black completed Panopticons project was a labour of love for Nick and he has been absolutely thrilled both Pudding Co., was made as a Chevalier du Gôute- by the creative results and by the national and international attention that the project has brought to Boudin (Knight of the Black Pudding) in 1998.

As a designer, I have grown to know that good design can change places and change people’s lives in a positive way.

People are enjoying the quirky originality of the Panopticons and at the same time discovering the beautiful countryside around them. They are taking pride in showing them off to visitors. I see the Panopticons as being a relaunch of the ‘can do’ creativity of this wonderful part of the world. ” Wayne Hemingway 4 Project champion 5 INTRODUCTION I am delighted to introduce this report on the twin partnership programmes Panopticons and Land.

A county of stunning coastline, rich countryside and canals that cut through historic cities and industrial towns, Lancashire is a place of unique contrasts and credibility. It is home to the UK’s first mass leisure resort as well as its oldest continual festival. It originated the Spinning Jenny in the nineteenth century and the jet engine in the twentieth century, and, where once the industrial spirit and passion of its people brought cotton and textiles to the world, they now attract international renown for their research into new and emerging technologies and Michelin stars and awards for their world class food and drink. We are incredibly proud of Lancashire’s culture. As a sector, culture and the arts attract over £7 million investment from ACE, augmenting the £34 million County Council and Local Authority combined total spend on culture.

  • Apprenticeships Will Help Us Fill the Skills Gap by Gordon Birtwistle, Burnley MP
    Apprenticeships will help us fill the skills gap by Gordon Birtwistle, Burnley MP After the House of Commons rose for summer recess, I had a chance to reflect on everything that has gone on in Westminster in the past few weeks There have been many important debates and discus- sions which have been focussed on providing support for individuals and creating jobs and making Britain’s econo- my strong again. I continue to push for apprenticeships as we must not underestimate the fantastic opportunities they provide for young people. I strongly welcome the recent announcement of the biggest ever rise in the Pu- pil Premium for primary schools to help ensure more pupils are able to achieve higher standards and this will make a real difference in our own town. In my first full week back in Burnley I was looking forward to having more time to be out and about in town. I was delighted to have a business visit to Radal Technology Ltd in Billington Road. As the world’s largest manufacturer of anti-smoking alarm sys- tems, it was great to discuss their business with them. I was able to talk about ap- prenticeships and the way in which the Government can help businesses as we look towards economic recovery. They are a fantastic company who are at the forefront of their market and are another great example of Burnley producing world-class prod- ucts we can be proud of! I was then able to speak alongside my colleague, Vince Cable, Secretary of State for Business,Innovation and Skills, and two apprentices at the Liberal Democrat Party Meeting for Lords and Baronesses.

Talks are being held with Pendle Council in particular, in order to develop a joint approach to lobbying Government on future funding. Council will recall that we were successful in securing so called transition funding for 2011/12 and 2012/13. This protected this Council and a small number of others against unsustainable cuts in our “spending power,” limiting the reduction of our funding to 8.8% in each year. We now face the challenge of securing this type of support again. Transition grant represents approaching 30% of our core funding. The new system of local government finance based on “localising” business rates must have a fair starting point for Burnley – the baseline must include all the core funding that the Council currently receives, including the transition grant.
