  • Electoral Review of Salford City Council

    Electoral Review of Salford City Council

    Electoral review of Salford City Council Response to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England’s consultation on Warding Patterns August 2018 1 1 Executive Summary 1.1 Salford in 2018 has changed dramatically since the city’s previous electoral review of 2002. Salford has seen a turnaround in its fortunes over recent years, reversing decades of population decline and securing high levels of investment. The city is now delivering high levels of growth, in both new housing and new jobs, and is helping to drive forward both Salford’s and the Greater Manchester economies. 1.2 The election of the Greater Manchester Mayor and increased devolution of responsibilities to Greater Manchester, and the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, is fundamentally changing the way Salford City Council works in areas of economic development, transport, work and skills, planning, policing and more recently health and social care. 1.3 Salford’s directly elected City Mayor has galvanised the city around eight core priorities – the Great Eight. Delivering against these core priorities will require the sustained commitment and partnership between councillors, partners in the private, public, community and voluntary and social enterprise sectors, and the city’s residents. This is even more the case in the light of ongoing national policy changes, the impending departure of the UK from the EU, and continued austerity in funding for vital local services. The city’s councillors will have an absolutely central role in delivering against these core priorities, working with all our partners and residents to harness the energies and talents of all of the city.

    Anderton Boat Lift to National Waterways Museum,Ellesmere Port - Cruise Duration Approx 6 Hours

    ANDERTON BOAT LIFT TO NATIONAL WATERWAYS MUSEUM,ELLESMERE PORT - CRUISE DURATION APPROX 6 HOURS Our cruise departs from our berth below the Anderton Boat Lift, also known as ‘The Cathedral of the Canals’. This magnificent structure was built in 1875 to elevate narrow boats, laden with cargo, 50ft between the River Weaver and The Trent & Mersey Canal. The lift was designed by the River Weaver trustees chief engineer Edward Leader Williams with Edwin Clark as the principal designer. The structure is designated as a scheduled monument and is included in the National Heritage list for England. Today it is an award-winning visitor destination offering leisure boaters a link between the two waterways and an informative visitor centre, café and children’s play area. Anderton Basin is a reminder of the Weaver’s industrial past when barges and ocean-going ships lined the berths loading and unloading cargo, predominantly for the chemical industry. Although the Tatter Chemical Plant is still operational, the last commercial cargo ship to use the river was The Saint Keiran back in 1998. Within 10 minutes of starting the journey from the lift we will pass through Winnington Swing Bridge which is the smallest of the river’s five swing bridges, and as soon as you pass through the bridge look out in the undergrowth for what looks like an old dry dock, but is actually an ice weir built to remove large floating chunks of ice from the river to keep it clear for traffic in the days when the river used to regularly freeze over.

    SALFORD HEART CARE ANNUAL REPORT October 2017

    SALFORD HEART CARE ANNUAL REPORT October 2017 - September 2018 An AGM is a time to reflect on the year and a time to look to the future. Several major changes have happened during the last 12 months at Salford Heart Care. In May 2018 we moved out of our office premises at Patricroft URC. The move has enabled us to make savings amounting to more than £3,500 per year whilst reducing the risk associated with negotiating and agreeing terms of a lease agreement with the landlord. We have also established a new Bereavement Support Group and the response to this service has been remarkable. In August we received a visit from Dr Tom Tasker (Chair of Salford NHS CCG). He was very impressed with our work and our social impact, despite the “meagre” funding we require to survive. The City Mayor, Paul Dennett, Cllr Gina Reynolds and the Ceremonial Mayor of Salford have also visited our clubs during the year. We are very sorry to report the following deaths from within our membership during the year: Edna Jary, 5th November 2017 aged 90. Barbara (Liz) Davey, December 2017, aged 72. Joanne Moreton, 23rd January 2018, aged 51. Geraldine Fowler, 24th March 2018, aged 69. Derek Styles, June 2018, aged 60. Sandra Dickenson, 29th June 2018, aged 50. 1. Directors and Committee Members Salford Heart Care has 8 Directors and all currently serve on the Steering Committee. There are no changes to Directors this year. 2. 31st Anniversary and Social Events This year in August, Salford Heart Care celebrated its 31st Anniversary at The Millstones in Harrogate.

In the history of Manchester, and indeed of South Lancashire as a whole, no other event or enterprise can compare with it in its far-reaching effects. The story, too, in many respects contains all the elements of a romance. It is the relation of a desperate and almost hopeless fight against opposi- tion of the most powerful and uncompromising character, and it is meet that the names and qualities of the men engaged in the strife, and the nature of the difficulties which they encountered and overcame, should find a permanent record. To rescue both individuals and incidents from oblivion, and to give a connected narrative of the course of events from the conception to the completion of the canal, is the object of the present work.

    Annex 6-SALFORD CITY COUNCIL

    Annex 6-SALFORD CITY COUNCIL Introduction to the area A6.1 The City of Salford is situated at the heart of the Greater Manchester conurbation, in the north-west region of England. The City is bordered by Manchester City to the west, Trafford Metropolitan Borough to the south, Wigan Borough and Warrington to the east and Bolton Metropolitan Borough and Bury Metropolitan Borough to the North. A6.2 Salford is predominantly an urban area. The main industrial complexes in the City include the Northbank Industrial Estate, Clifton and Walkden Industrial Estate. A6.3 Although large areas of the City are residential there are also substantial green spaces including the Moss Land at Irlam and Cadishead, Botany Bay Woods at Worsley and the Lower Irwell Valley. The Manchester Ship Canal runs along the Southern border of the City and the Bridgewater Canal runs through the West of the City. A6.4 There are four town shopping and commercial centres at Salford, Eccles, Walkden and Swinton and numerous subsidiary centres. A6.5 Salford is at the hub of the transport network, with the M602, M60, M61 and M62 motorways all within the City boundaries. There are excellent road, rail and air links, and the Metrolink tram system now extends to Eccles and Salford Quays from Manchester City centre. Summary of review and assessment results A6.6 The review and assessment of air quality in Salford was completed in December 2000 and identified areas within the City that were likely to exceed the national air quality objectives in 2004 and 2005. A6.7 After an extensive local consultation exercise the Council decided to declare an Air Quality Management Area in June 2001.
