Manchester, Ashton-Under-Lyne and Stalybridge The Diocese of Manchester is the Church of England in Greater Manchester. Manchester is situated in the south-central part of North West England, fringed by the Cheshire Plain to the south and the Pennines to the north and east. The recorded history of Manchester began with the Romans in AD 79. Throughout the Middle Ages Manchester remained a town, but began expanding "at an astonishing rate" around the turn of the 19th century as part of a boom in textile production in the Industrial Revolution in the Victorian period resulting in it becoming the world's first industrial city. As the result of an early-19th century factory building boom, Manchester was transformed from a township into a major mill town, borough and was later granted honorific city status in 1853. Manchester was the site of the world's first railway statio n, hosted the first meeting of the Trades Union Congress and is where scientists first split the atom and developed the first programmable computer. It is known for its music scene and its sporting connections. Manchester was the host of the 2002 Commonwealth Games, and its sports clubs include two Premier League football teams, Manchester City and Manchester Picture 1. United. Manchester is the third-most visited city in the Manchester Town Hall United Kingdom by foreign visitors and the most visited in England outside London.

  • Executive Decision Notice
    ITEM NO: 7 Report To: STRATEGIC PLANNING AND CAPITAL MONITORING PANEL Date: 30 June 2014 Reporting Officer: Elaine Todd - Assistant Executive Director (Asset Management and Investment Partnership) Subject: CORPORATE ASSET MANAGEMENT PLAN UPDATE Report Summary: The attached report is intended to update members of the Board Capital Panel with progress on the disposal of the Council’s surplus assets, anticipated capital receipts that will be realised and investment that is required to maintain those buildings being occupied and retained or dilapidations arising from the termination of leases. Recommendations: That Strategic Capital Members note the contents of the report and approves : a) The allocation of £159,411 to carry out the works detailed at paragraph 2.4. b) That a replacement boiler to service both the school and recreation centre be purchased in the sum of £120,000. Links to Community To support the delivery of the objectives of the Community Strategy: Strategy. Policy Implications: Expenditure in line with financial and policy framework. To assist in delivering a balanced budget and support the sustainability of the local economy. Financial Implications: Substantial work has been undertaken to vacate, market and dispose of a number of buildings, however, the allocation of £4 million budget reduction to the corporate landlord together with increased costs of utilities, business rates and backlog maintenance which are not provided for, means that the vacation of buildings needs to be escalated in order to deliver a balanced budget. Where leasehold properties are disposed of, the corporate landlord will have a reduction in the income target specifically for that asset.
