PRESENTATION - ROCHDALE BOROUGH FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGY 48 The Township received a presentation of the Rochdale Borough Risk management Strategy and the Flood Resilience Community Pathfinder (National Flood Forum). The Strategy is a statutory requirement under the Flood and Water Management Act 2010. It identifies the Council’s statutory role as a Lead Local Flood Authority (LLFA). It highlights significant flood risks affecting the borough and how the LLFA will address them and focuses on risk from rivers and surface water. The objectives of the strategy are to understand flood risk better; to ensure greater awareness and preparedness – residents and businesses in particular those in higher risk areas; to work with others responsible for managing and reducing flood risk wherever possible to achieve better solutions; to promote and deliver sustainable drainage and to ensure flood risk management activity contributes to our economy, communities and environment. DECIDED – that the presentations be noted and welcomed. PRESENTATION - HOUSING BENEFIT UPDATE 49 The Committee received a presentation about how housing benefit could be affected when the Department for Work and Pensions notified the Council about changes in circumstances. This could lead to the suspension of housing benefit and applicants were requested to respond to requests for information in order to establish whether they could continue with their claim. The Revenues and Benefits Service sought to work with applicants and landlords in order to minimise the impact on applicants were possible. Members of the Committee noted that applicants could fall into difficulties whilst waiting for benefits to be released and were advised that signposting to appropriate assistance such as the discretionary crisis fund was contained within the correspondence sent out by the Revenues and Benefits Service. Members of the Committee had also been circulated with a factsheet from the Department for Work and Pensions which outlined how benefits could be affected. DECIDED – that the presentation be noted. MINUTES 50 DECIDED – That the minutes of the Middleton Township Committee held on 5 th September 2013, be approved as a correct record. MIDDLETON TOWNSHIP DEVOLVED FUNDING AND SERVICES SUB- COMMITTEE 51 DECIDED – that the minutes of the meetings of the Middleton Township Devolved Funding and Services Sub-Committee held on 11 th September 2013 be noted.

  • Lancashire: a Chronology of Flash Flooding
    LANCASHIRE: A CHRONOLOGY OF FLASH FLOODING Introduction The past focus on the history of flooding has been mainly with respect to flooding from the overflow of rivers and with respect to the peak level that these floods have achieved. The Chronology of British Hydrological Events provides a reasonably comprehensive record of such events throughout Great Britain. Over the last 60 years the river gauging network provides a detailed record of the occurrence of river flows and peak levels and flows are summaried in HiflowsUK. However there has been recent recognition that much flooding of property occurs from surface water flooding, often far from rivers. Locally intense rainfall causes severe flooding of property and land as water concentrates and finds pathways along roads and depressions in the landscape. In addition, intense rainfall can also cause rapid rise in level and discharge in rivers causing a danger to the public even though the associated peak level is not critical. In extreme cases rapid rise in river level may be manifested as a ‘wall of water’ with near instantaneous rise in level of a metre or more. Such events are usually convective and may be accompanied by destructive hail or cause severe erosion of hillsides and agricultural land. There have been no previous compilations of historical records of such ‘flash floods’or even of more recent occurrences. It is therefore difficult to judge whether a recent event is unusual or even unique in terms of the level reached at a particular location or more broadly of regional severity. This chronology of flash floods is provided in order to enable comparisons to be made between recent and historical floods, to judge rarity and from a practical point of view to assess the adequacy of urban drainage networks.

Gazetteer of operating pre-1940 breweries in England Text by Lynn Pearson and Ray Anderson The Brewing Industry: A Brewery History Society project supported by English Heritage February 2010 Brewery History Society, 102 Ayelands, New Ash Green, Longfield, Kent DA3 8JW www.breweryhistory.com Foreword The Brewery History Society (BHS) was founded in 1972 to promote research into all aspects of the brewing industry, to encourage the interchange of information about breweries and brewing, and to collect photographic and other archive information about brewery history. The Society publishes a Newsletter and a quarterly journal Brewery History, which first appeared in 1972. It has also published a national directory and a series of county-wide surveys of historic breweries; the Society’s archive is held by Birmingham Central Library. Further details of BHS activities may be found at <http://www.breweryhistory.com>. The ongoing threat to the historic fabric of the English brewing industry was discussed at the conference From Grain to Glass, organised jointly by English Heritage (EH), the BHS and the Association for Industrial Archaeology (AIA), which took place at Swindon on 13 June 2003; the joint BHS and Victorian Society study day From Hop to Hostelry: the brewing and licensed trades 1837 -1914 (Young’s Ram Brewery, Wandsworth, 25 February 2006); and during the AIA Ironbridge Working Weekend (Coalbrookdale, 29 April 2006).

Bruce Cunningham's assurances at North Manchester's 10th Birthday Meeting went some way to allay our suspicions about the activities of the Pennine Host Group. The more cynical among us may prefer to wait and see. Bruce Cunningham made the following statements about Pennine Hosts: 1 There would be no more restaurants. There would be an increase in pub food in an effort to appeal to women and children. 2 Only one conversion was planned in the North West - a disused cinema in Liverpool 3 The Shakespeare in Manchester's Fountain Street was to be improved authentically as a "Tavern", 4 Money would be spent on every pub to bring them all up to an accept- able standard. 5 Lessons had been learned from the Wrecker and the Jules Verne and these mistakes would not be repeated. 6 The Horse and Jockey at Chorlton Green was to be re-equipped with brewing facilities as an alehouse serving mild, bitter and possibly porter from its own brewery.
