Projects Identified as Important to the Parish, to be Pursued by the Parish Council, Through Various Funding Sources Including Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) 53 2 1 Background to the Plan 1.1 The Localism Act 2011 promoted neighbourhood engagement in the planning process. It introduced a new kind of Plan, called a Neighbourhood Development Plan (or Neighbourhood Plan, for short), that could be prepared by Parish Councils. One of the key aims of the legislation is to enable people to contribute to the long term development of their own community. A Neighbourhood Plan can make a real difference to how development is carried out in the Parish, because once it has been through all the stages of preparation and been “made” (adopted) by Lichfield District Council (LDC), it becomes part of the District’s Development Plan, alongside the LDC Local Plan. Its planning policies will therefore be used in the decision-making process when planning applications within the Parish are considered by the Local Planning Authority. This Neighbourhood Plan supports the delivery of strategic policies contained in the Lichfield District Local Plan in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework 2019 para 13.

There is, Farmers Bridge Top Lock (Birmingham & Fazeley) Holliday Wharf (just south of Gas Street Basin) arguably, no other inland waterways complex in the world which provides such Tividale Aqueduct (Netherton Tunnel Branch) vivid, sometimes breathtaking, contrasts.

Wolverhampton Top Lock Wolverhampton Lock No.15 BW Sneyd Yard (Wyrley & Essington) Unfortunately, the BCN harbours a serious burden – its image. To the uninitiated the Anglesey Bridge Marina (Anglesey Branch) [01543 454994] Longwood Junction (by Boat Club) BCN is still perceived as grimy and unpleasant, but this is simply not true. Perry Barr Top Lock Admittedly, some parts do pass through industrialised areas – but remember – that is Walsall Top Lock the reason they were built in the first place! There are many others which remain Parkhead Junction (next to pump house) Aldridge Marina (Daw End Branch) [01922 53397] amazingly rural and completely unspoilt. Nowhere is this more apparent than the Hawne Basin (Dudley No.2) delightful areas of the Northern BCN, providing many miles of tranquil, trouble-free Malthouse Stables, Tipton (Old Main Line) cruising.

  • Daw End Branch & Rushall Canals and Ryecroft Railway Junction An
    Walsall Walkabout #2 (North East) Daw End Branch & Rushall Canals and Ryecroft Railway Junction An RCHS West Midlands Group Walk Saturday 9th September 2017 Overview Walsall Walkabout #2, - a (perhaps surprisingly) mostly rural walk - starts at Bell Bridge (Walstead Road) on the Rushall Canal: Bus #51 or X51 from Walsall Bus Station stand A/B to Walstead Road Bell Inn. The Wyrley & Essington Canal was incorporated in 1792 to connect Wolverhampton with Wyrley Bank and adjacent collieries. In fact, before the canal was completed the line up to Wyrley became a branch with the main line continuing to Birchills (north Walsall). Subsequently, the main line was extended from a junction less than half a mile north of Birchills basin to join the Coventry Canal at Huddlesford Junction which is to the east of Lichfield. There were a number of branches notably in the area around Wyrley and to the south of Cannock. The main line of the canal was opened in stages (from west to east) between 1794 and 1797. Despite the proximity of the Wyrley & Essington Canal and the BCN, and pressure from local businessmen, the two canals had no connections (apart from Horseleyfields Junction at the Wolverhampton end) until the two canal companies merged in 1840. Three such canals were completed between 1841 and 1847. The first (the Walsall Locks Branch) made the half-mile connection between the W&E at Birchills Wharf and the Walsall Canal close to its terminus at Walsall Wharf - this canal was included in our Walsall Walkabout #1 in 2016. The Rushall Canal, completed in 1847, was #3 in the sequence.

This booklet represents the combined efforts of John Baxter who lives in Bradford on Avon and attends St. Nicholas Church and Linda Brooks who lives in Winsley. Our first port of call was the Winsley Memorial where, every November, we gather to honour the memory of those who died in all wars. Having started to investigate these special men who specifically died in World War 1, it was discovered that there were other memorials in the village. There is one in the Methodist Church which added a new name to our quest, whilst in the Social Club there is an Honours Board that commemorates all those who went to war from the village but had the fortune to survive it.
