D519 MA03 Pickmere to Agden and Hulseheath June 2018 | www.hs2.org.uk In your area Pickmere to Agden and Hulseheath | MA03 MA03 to Wigan High Speed Two (HS2) is the Government’s planned M56 new high speed railway. High Speed Two Limited High Legh to Manchester is the company responsible for developing and Rostherne promoting the UK’s new high speed rail network. In Mere M6 July 2017, the Government confi rmed the route for A50 A556 the next phase of HS2: Over Crewe – Manchester and Tabley HS2 Phase 2b West Midlands – Leeds (Phase 2b). Knutsford A5033 Tabley A537 Pickmere N to Birmingham Introduction This information has been produced by HS2 Ltd to update you about the route from from Pickmere to Agden and Hulseheath. It includes: • a summary of the proposed route in your area and how the design has developed since July 2017; • what we are currently working on and what we will be consulting on later in the year; • the benefi ts that HS2 will bring to your area; • how to fi nd out more about the project; and • how to get in touch with us. Page 1 of 8 The route of the proposed scheme from Pickmere to Agden and Hulseheath The Pickmere to Agden and Hulseheath community area covers approximately 13km. The route starts at the boundary between Plumley parish and Tabley Inferior parish and continues north to the west of the A556 and east of the villages of Wincham and Pickmere. The route then crosses the M6, north of junction 19, and heads towards the A50 at Hoo Green. Beyond the A50, the HS2 Manchester spur splits away from the main line. The mainline will continue north to join the West Coast Main Line (WCML). The route of the proposed scheme in this area includes the following main features; a viaduct (approximately 1220m) to take the high speed line over the A556, the A559, Linnards Lane, Peover Eye and Smoker Brook floodplain. Two further viaducts to take the By improving the high speed line over Arley Brook (approximately 102m) and over connectivity between our the M6 motorway just north of junction 19 near Winterbottom (approximately 50m). major population centres, HS2 will give businesses A deep cutting to take the high speed line underneath the A50 access to the skills, labour at Hoo Green. A small tunnel (approx. 230m) will be built in this and services they need cutting (the Hoo Green tunnel) to allow the Manchester Spur to to change the economic cross over the mainline. geography of the country. The high speed line will continue in a cutting, crossing under the M56 before rising onto an embankment to continue towards David Higgins the WCML. Chairman of HS2 Ltd Royal Cheshire Show The route would cross land in Pickmere on which the Royal Cheshire Show is held annually. We are working closely with the Show organisers to find a solution that would allow the Show to continue into the future. Design development Since the community information events in September 2017, we have continued to develop our design for the railway, which will be included in the working draft Environmental Statement that you will have an opportunity to give feedback on later this year. We have also produced detailed maps showing the evolving design that includes construction compounds, road realignments and public rights of way. These show our work in progress and are likely to be refined or changed before we publish them as part of a consultation later in the year. To view the maps, please visit www.hs2.org.uk/building-hs2/building-the-line/phase-2b/mid- 2018-information-events. Our design development now includes the proposed sites for pieces of infrastructure needed to power the railway. In this community area this includes an autotransformer feeder station at an area to the east of the alignment at Hoo Green near the A50 and an autotransformer station near to Providence Farm. Page 2 of 8 Transport for the North and Midlands Connect We are working with Transport for the North and Midlands Connect to consider how HS2 can help further improve connectivity, and the Government is currently considering whether additional connections should be included in the Phase 2b scheme. Once the Government has decided how this work should be taken forward, we will explain what this means for the design of the Phase 2b route. Environmental Impact Assessment As part of the development of the Phase 2b proposed scheme, we are carrying out an Environmental Impact Assessment that will identify the likely significant effects of the construction and operation of the railway and the means to reduce or avoid such National College effects. This will be reported in our Environmental Statement, for High Speed Rail which will accompany the hybrid Bill that we expect to deposit in The newly opened National Parliament in late 2019.

  • Appendix 4 Detailed Proposals for Each Ward – Organised by Local Area Partnership (LAP)
    Appendix 4 Detailed proposals for each Ward – organised by Local Area Partnership (LAP) Proposed Wards within the Knutsford Local Area Partnership Knutsford Local Area Partnership (LAP) is situated towards the north-west of Cheshire East, and borders Wilmslow to the north-east, Macclesfield to the south-east and Congleton to the south. The M6 and M56 motorways pass through this LAP. Hourly train services link Knutsford, Plumley and Mobberley to Chester and Manchester, while in the east of this LAP hourly trains link Chelford with Crewe and Manchester. The town of Knutsford was the model for Elizabeth Gaskell's novel Cranford and scenes from the George C. Scott film Patton were filmed in the centre of Knutsford, in front of the old Town Hall. Barclays Bank employs thousands of people in IT and staff support functions at Radbroke Hall, just outside the town of Knutsford. Knutsford is home to numerous sporting teams such as Knutsford Hockey Club, Knutsford Cricket Club, Knutsford Rugby Club and Knutsford Football Club. Attractions include Tatton Park, home of the RHS Flower show, the stately homes Arley Hall, Tabley House and Peover Hall, and the Cuckooland Museum of cuckoo clocks. In detail, the proposals are: Knutsford is a historic, self-contained urban community with established extents and comprises the former County Ward of Knutsford, containing 7 polling districts. The Parish of Knutsford also mirrors the boundary of this proposal. Knutsford Town is surrounded by Green Belt which covers 58% of this proposed division. The proposed ward has excellent communications by road, motorway and rail and is bounded to the north by Tatton Park and to the east by Birkin Brook.

  • Cheshire East Parish Council Cluster Group Consultation Response
    HIGH LEGH PARISH COUNCIL HS2 PHASE 2 CONSULTATION RESPONSE i. Do you agree or disagree with the Government’s proposed route between the West Midlands and Manchester as described in Chapter 7 [of the consultation document]? This includes the proposed route alignment, the location of tunnels, ventilation shafts, cuttings, viaducts and depots as well as how the high speed line will connect to the West Coast Main Line. We do not agree with the Government’s proposal to build a High Speed rail line between London and Manchester for the following reasons:- As the HS2 route passes directly through the area represented by the cluster group it will inevitably impact on residents, businesses, farms and the local environment. Various meeting have taken place throughout 2013 at which decisions have been taken not to support HS2 as proposed. We require a much more direct route London to Manchester in keeping with the spirit of the original brief from government “direct city centre to city centre”. It is essential that any new or amended route makes increased use of tunnelling, cuttings and false cuttings, for example, and reduce the severance of communities and farms by providing bridges and under bridges along the route. If such changes can be secured we would suffer reduced blight, maintain the maximum amount of productive farmland and reduce the loss of property and harm to residents. Meetings have already taken place with HS2, and will continue to do so to ensure our concerns are understood. Six key issues have emerged through this process identifying where the Parish Council Group should focus its efforts to change the existing line and reduce the impact of the route: · Impacts on farms.

  • Hand-List of the Legh of Booths Charters in the John Rylands Library
    HAND-LIST OF THE LEGH OF BOOTHS CHARTERS IN THE JOHN RYLANDS LIBRARY. BY F. TAYLOR, M.A., PH.D. KEEPER OF MANUSCRIPTS AND ASSISTANT LIBRARIAN IN THE JOHN RYLANDS LIBRARY. documents listed below relate to the old Cheshire A family of Legh of Norbury Booths Hall, near Knutsford, and its estates from the late thirteenth to the early nineteenth century. They were saved from destruction 1 last century by the antiquary Richard Henry Wood (1820-1908), a scholar associated for many years with local history studies in Cheshire and Lancashire, and now form part of the large and important manuscript collection which he brought together from many sources. A general survey of this collection, which was deposited in the Library in 1940 by Captain J. Hatton Wood, has been given elsewhere,2 and it is perhaps sufficient here to notice that, in addition to the Legh charters, it is rich in monastic documents (twelfth-fifteenth century) and rare seals,3 and contains several royal grants (the earliest dating from the reign of Henry I), as well as a considerable number of miscellaneous deeds, mostly pre-1500, relating to some twenty-five counties. The Cheshire element of the Hatton Wood MSS., excluding the Legh charters, is comparatively small, numbering only thirty-six documents. Certain of these, however, are worthy of note, among them being eight thirteenth-century charters of the Abbey of St. Werburgh, Chester, five leases (1562-1647) from the Master and Brethren of the Hospital of St. John without the North Gate, Chester, a letter from Burghley to Edmund Gammell, late Mayor of Chester (Oct.

In that light, I have suggested an important cf,ange that I believe will very much benefit our local community here in cheshire. By w-.ay of background, I fully support the Boundary Commission's overall goal of making sure constituencies all have a similar number of people living in them, and that we reduce the number of MPs from 650 to 600. Everyone's vote in our democracy should count equally and, at present, Britain's parliament has far more members than the US Congress or any European, Canadian or Australian equivalent.
