    Telford & Wrekin Council

    TELFORD & WREKIN COUNCIL West Midlands Property Alliance Using assets for growth Introduction Background Telford and Wrekin is a unitary district with borough status in the West Midlands. The district was created in 1974 as The Wrekin, then a non-metropolitan district of Shropshire. In 1998 the district became a unitary authority and was renamed Telford and Wrekin. It remains part of the Shropshire ceremonial county and shares institutions such as the Fire and Rescue Service with the rest of Shropshire. The borough’s major settlement is Telford, a new town designated in the 1960s incorporating the existing towns of Dawley, Madeley, Oakengates and Wellington. Telford was a new town run by the Telford Development Corporation (TDC) from the 1960s to the changes in 1974. Telford is located in central England with excellent connectivity by road and rail to Birmingham, Manchester, London and other centres. This connectivity includes an international railfreight park serving businesses looking to move goods across the UK and to air and sea ports. The population of the borough is 173,000 set to rise to 200,000 by 2030. The town was designed to accommodate a population of 200,000 and so has the necessary space and infrastructure for a growth area. Telford is home to more than 5,000 companies of which 150 are international. It has a strong automotive and engineering base as well as a broad range of other companies. There is a ready workforce of 350,000 within a 30 minute drive of Telford. Situated just 12 miles from the new Jaguar Landrover plant at i54 Telford is well placed to capitalise on supply chain opportunities.

I write to object in the strongest possible terms to the proposals in the Boundary Review for Warrington, especially as they affect south Warrington and in particular Appleton. In my opinion they will harm community identity and destroy effective and convenient local government in the villages south of the Manchester Ship Canal. The Parish of Appleton The Parish of Appleton is defined by clear boundaries: the Bridgewater Canal to the north, Green Belt to the east and west and, to the south, the boundaries with the Unitary Authority of Cheshire East, the Unitary Authority of Cheshire West and Chester and the parish of Stretton. There are four Parish Council wards: 1. Hill Cliffe Ward to the west of the A49 (three parish councillors) 2. Cobbs Ward, which consists of the Cobbs estate plus adjacent roads (four parish councillors) 1 3. Hall Ward, which consists of the Appleton Park estate and other roads, much of which was built on the grounds of the former Appleton Hall (four parish councillors) 4. Thorn Ward, which consists of the village of Appleton Thorn and adjacent roads (two parish councillors).

I grew up in Birchwood between 1980 and 1997 and I eventually became a lecturer in Human Geography. In 2015, I found out there was an archive of the Warrington New Town Development Corporation (DC) held by the Local Archive in Chester. Spurred by nosiness and a bit of nostalgia, I spent the next summer looking through this archive. For days at a time I read through resident designation policies, landscape reports, plans for playgrounds (with a futuristic theme to be set in the bunkers of the old Ordnance Factory in what is now Birchwood Forest Park), plans for a new nature reserve, plans for how to encourage new residents to take ownership of the landscape of Birchwood with the help of a new Ranger Service, a leisure ‘high street’ containing a 1700 seater auditorium; bars; conference suites; a fitness club; a youth club; an advice centre..
