Introduction Study context 1.1. This Open Space, Sport and Recreation Provision and Needs Assessment has been prepared to support the process of planning for, and managing, open space, sport and recreation land and facilities across Wigan Borough. The assessment has involved researching good practice and requirements, consulting borough residents and key stakeholders such as sports clubs and volunteering groups, surveying and assessing sites, and analysing data. 1.2. The purposes of this assessment are to: Inform the development of locally derived standards for provision as part of Local Plan policy. Identify surpluses and deficiencies in provision as applicable and provide evidence to support planning policies. Inform decisions on planning applications in terms of maximising the opportunities for open space, sport and recreation wherever possible. Direct scarce resources, through section 106, Inspiring Healthy Lifestyles and third party funding to maximise the opportunities for open space, sport and recreation as applicable. Provide evidence to support aims and objectives for improving health and well-being by increasing participation in sport, recreation and active lifestyles. Provide an evidence base for open space, sport and recreation related strategies across the council including the Playing Pitch Strategy. Study structure 1.3. The study provides an assessment of the land and facilities that currently exist including quantity (what categories of open space and sporting facilities there are and how much or how many we have of each), quality (the condition of the site and whether it is fit for purpose), accessibility (the distance from populated areas and the ease of public access), and availability (how available sports facilities are to the general public). 1.4. The report is divided into four chapters: Introduction – Introduction to the study and contextual background information. Open space, sport and recreation assessment – A review of each category of open space, sport and recreation including education provision. Each review includes information on quality, quantity and accessibility of provision in each settlement or local area. 4 Wigan Borough Open Space, Sport and Recreation Provision and Needs Assessment February 2017 Settlement profiles – Each settlement is assessed independently to highlight any surplus or deficit of open space, sport or recreation facilities within the context of the local population. Open space, sport and recreation standards – An assessment of the data collected across the borough and a comparison against nearby and national standards and locally recognised need for provision. The localised standards and current position against these standards will be used to inform planning policy and future decisions across the borough. Overview of the study area 1.5. The population and household numbers are forecast to increase in the borough as set out below: 2011 Increase 2011-2026 2026 Population 318,000 16,000 334,000 Households 136,000 17,000 153,000 Table 1: Anticipated change in population and household figures 2011-2026, Office and National Statistics and Department for Communities and Local Government 1.6. As the population increases and age group proportions change, the demand for open space and sport and recreational facilities may also change. It is important therefore to regularly assess need and provision and adapt as the changes occur. 1.7. The average

  • Annual Report 2017 -2018
    LANCASHIRE COUNTY RUGBY FOOTBALL UNION ANNUAL REPORT 2017-18 THE SECRETARY’S OPENING REMARKS Firstly I have to thank the President, Steve Blackburn. Steve has done tremendous work over the year in travelling around clubs and representing the County. A truly approachable gentleman who has brought his own distinct sense of humour to the office. A lot of my Monday mornings have included a phone call from Steve starting with the phrase “I think I may have got away with it but……”. Needless to say the tales have me in stitches. As well as his Presidential duties he is an active member of the Disciplinary and Club & Community Committees which means he’s constantly on the go with his County missionary work. Steve has the huge support of his wife Val, who is also involved on the Mini & Junior committee. A couple entrenched in rugby and its administration, thank you both. To Rugby matters, Our Senior XV have reached the final and other reports in this booklet will cover how they got there, at the time of printing we are in the run up to the final at Twickenham against Hertfordshire whom we were runners up to in the final of the 2011-2012 season. Thanks to Mark Nelson, Steve Rigby, John Greenwood and all the backroom team, along with players who give up their time at the end of very busy seasons to support senior Rugby in Lancashire. Its an absolute joy to be involved in this side of County rugby and one which I look forward to each season.

Well done to all those involved in these improvements. Last season’s games we had the edge over Saddleworth beating them at home 34-14 and a very close encounter away, winning a hard fought and entertaining game 19-18.

Honours were even last time we played in 2016, Saddleworth winning at their place 42 – 22 and we got the points at home 16 – 10. The season has really had a shocking start weather wise for some clubs, this is only Saddleworths second game of the season and no doubt they will be hoping to get off the mark after a defeat at Askam two weeks ago. We have been more fortunate with no postponements but after our flier in the first game away at Leigh East we have come a bit unstuck with defeats at home to Dewsbury Moor and away last week at Wigan St Judes.

  • Admission to Secondary School Booklet 2010-2011
    Admissions to secondary school in 2010-2011 Children and Young People’s Services Progress House Westwood Park Drive Wigan WN3 4HH Dear Parent or Guardian This booklet tells you about the arrangements for transferring children to secondary school for the school year beginning in September 2010. This is an important time for parents and children and we want to help as much as we can. This booklet contains a lot of information which I hope will help you make your application and, whenever possible, avoid disappointment. It is important you take the time to read all the information carefully before you apply, even if you have already decided which schools you prefer. We will try to give you your preferred school, but schools have a limited number of places. If we receive more applications than places, we use our admission criteria to decide who will get a place. The admission numbers and admission criteria for Wigan schools are given in this booklet. Our website at www.wigan.gov.uk has a link to school admissions and other useful sites. You can use this site to apply for a secondary school place on-line. There are more details about this in the booklet. Each school also produces its own prospectus which contains a lot of information about that school. It is useful to visit schools before you apply, and most schools will be holding open days or evenings in September or October 2009. If you cannot go to these or want any information about individual schools, please contact the headteacher at that school, who will be pleased to help.

  • School Transport & Bus Timetables 2021-2022
    School Transport & Bus Timetables 2021-2022 (Effective from Sept 2021) THE TIMETABLES INCLUDED IN THIS BOOKLET ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGES THAT ARE OUTSIDE THE SCHOOL'S CONTROL. SCHOOL BUS SERVICES A high proportion of our pupils have to travel by bus to school. School bus services are organised by Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM). The school has no authority over most services provided and we work in partnership with the bus companies to ensure the safety and well-being of pupils using these services. For routes not designated a “school service”, pupils must use normal service buses and you will need to check times and available routes with the individual bus companies concerned. To assist with the monitoring of behaviour on the school service buses we usually rely on prefects. Unfortunately, due to the current COVID situation our normal School Bus Code of Conduct for pupils will be difficult to implement. All pupils will be responsible for their own behaviour and if others are causing a nuisance it should be reported immediately they arrive in school, initially to their form tutor who will decide if further action is required. Yellow School Buses This year there will be NO Yellow School Buses for St Edmund Arrowsmith. TfGM have increased capacity by providing double decker buses for routes similar to those run with the Yellow Buses. This will give pupils the flexibility to board any convenient service rather than be allocated a place according to where they live. It will be important to ensure an even spread of pupils across the buses to protect these routes moving forward.
