  • Ruth Winston Community Centre Newsletter No.26
    RUTH WINSTON COMMUNITY CENTRE NEWSLETTER NO.26. Autumn Edition 2020 Unfortunately, we are again in lockdown and so we will try to bring you a newsletter once every two weeks. Therefore, please send me or Liz any news you have. If you send direct to me my email address is [email protected]. We cannot accept videos because everyone is not on email. So, looking forward to receiving some interesting news from you. We all love baked beans and probably find them a good standby, when we don’t know what to have for a meal. So here is a short history of them. In 1886 Heinz Baked Beans were first sold at the Fortnum & Mason department store in London. After opening the first overseas office in London in 1896, the company opened its first UK factory in Peckham, south London, in 1905. This was followed by a second factory at Harlesden, north-west London in 1919. Production was started at a former munition’s factory at Standish near Wigan in 1946. A new factory opened in Kitt Green, also near Wigan, in 1958. Between 1941 and 1948, the Ministry of Food classified Heinz Baked Beans as an “essential food” as part of its wartime rationing system. The Heinz factory in Kitt Green is one of the largest food factories in Europe, and produced more than 1 billion cans of food every year. In the United States, Heinz Baked Beans had for many years only been available as grey imports in “British Goods” speciality stores. As of October 2016, they are now available as official imports in many US supermarkets and speciality stores, with a label similar to the older British label, but customised for the US market (US spelling and US Nutrition Facts).

Introduction 1.1 The Wigan Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) was completed in 2011 as part of the evidence base for the Local Plan Core Strategy, which was adopted in 2013. The primary objective of the Wigan SFRA was to inform the evidence base and policies within the Core Strategy. It informed the capacity of the land supply identified for the Core Strategy, through the Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment and the Employment Land Review prepared for it. It also specifically informed policy CP16 on ‘Flooding’ within the Core Strategy, which states that we will help reduce flood risk from all sources, including surface water run-off. 1.2 Since the SFRA was produced there have been changes to flooding policy following the introduction of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) in 2012. There have also been updates to the mapping of flood risk zones by the Environment Agency, and a new national Flood Map for Surface Water has been introduced, which is also regularly updated. This provides much more detailed information on potential surface water flooding than was previously available. 1.3 The NPPF replaced topic specific Planning Policy Statements, including PPS25 on flood risk. The government has also since published online National Planning Practice Guidance (NPPG), which provides further specific guidance on flood risk. 1.4 The objective of this review is to ensure that the evidence base for policies and sites in the emerging Wigan Allocations and Development Management Local Plan is appropriate and sound.
