In line with MHCLG Planning Practice Guidance this draft SPD builds upon and provides more detailed advice or guidance on the policies in the Local Plan. 1.2 Within the context of The Bolton Economy: Our Strategy for Growth 2016-2030 (“Economic Strategy”), the Council has adopted a Town Centre Strategy (“Town Centre Strategy”) including a masterplan framework and key intervention areas. These documents set out Bolton’s ambition and vision to achieve a £1bn regeneration of the town centre and sustain its immediate future to the benefit of the wider Borough and its residents, supported by £100m direct investment from the Council. 1.3 The Council is seeking to open up and improve access to and along the River Croal thereby maximising this untapped asset as it runs through Bolton town centre. This draft Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) has been prepared to convey the council’s aspirations for the river and assist with guiding development where development proposals impact on the river. The area covered by this draft SPD is shown in Appendix 1. The River Croal runs from Queens Park in the west, through the Croal Valley intervention area to the town centre, under the Market Place, through the Church Wharf intervention area to and ends where it is culverted under the A666 St.

  • The Rise of Bolton As an Important Engineering and Textile Town in Early 1800 England
    I. međunarodna konferencija u povodu 150. obljetnice tvornice torpeda u Rijeci i očuvanja riječke industrijske baštine 57 THE RISE OF BOLTON AS AN IMPORTANT ENGINEERING AND TEXTILE TOWN IN EARLY 1800 ENGLAND Denis O’Connor, Industrial Historian Bolton Lancashire, Great Britain INTRODUCTION The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that Great Britain changed, in the 19th Century, from a rural economy to one based on coal and iron. In doing so it created conditions for British civil, textile and mechanical engineers, such as Robert Whitehead of Bolton, to rise to positions of eminence in their particular fields. Such men travelled across Europe, and laid, through the steam engine and railways, the foundations for many of the regions present day industries. EARLY TEXTILES AND BLEACHING. RISE OF LOCAI INDUSTRIES The origins of Bolton’s textile and engineering industry lie back in the 12th Century with the appointment of a Crown Quality Controller called an Ulnager. During the reign of Henry V111 an itinerant historian Leland observed that ‘Bolton - upon - Moore Market standeth by the cotton and coarse yarns - Diverse villages above Bolton do make Cotton’ and that ‘They burne at Bolton some canelle (coal) of which the Pitts be not far off’. Coal, combined with the many powerful streams of water from the moorlands, provided the basic elements for the textile industry to grow, the damp atmosphere conducive to good spinning of thread. In 1772 a Directory of Manchester (10-12 miles distant) was published, in this can be seen the extent of cloth making in an area of about 12 miles radius round Manchester, with 77 fustian makers (Flax warp and cotton or wool weft) attending the markets, 23 of whom were resident in Bolton.

  • Thanks to Funding Secured from the Green Recovery Challenge Fund, Nature Is on the Road to Recovery in Greater Manchester
    Thanks to funding secured from the Green Recovery Challenge Fund, nature is on the road to recovery in Greater Manchester. The bid, fronted by the newly established Greater Manchester Environment Fund (GMEF), put forward a programme of priority projects that will establish a network for nature across the county. And it is great news for people working in the environment and those looking for green careers; 37 jobs will be created and safeguarded including new 12 traineeships. The Greater Manchester Environment Fund (GMEF) is being established to deliver Greater Manchester’s ambition for a “clean, carbon-neutral, climate resilient city region with a thriving natural environment”, by aligning public and philanthropic funding, attracting private investment, prioritising limited resources and facilitating collaborative bids. Managed by the Wildlife Trust for Lancashire, Manchester and North Merseyside, the fund will be launched in spring, but with the success of a collaborative bid to the Green Recovery Challenge Fund, some projects will start now to demonstrate a desire to provide networks for nature to flourish. The bid is a collaboration between Environmental Non-Government Organisations who work across Greater Manchester and have been hardest hit by the pandemic. Mersey Rivers Trust, Canal and Rivers Trust, Northern Roots, RSPB, City of Trees, The Conservation Volunteers, Finance Earth, the Wildlife Trusts and the Great Manchester Wetlands Partnership have come together to support Greater Manchester Combined Authority’s Build Back Greener

Discharges and Consents 4.1 Authority Sewage Treatment Works 4.2 Authority Trade Effluent Discharges 4.3 Private Trade Effluent Discharges 4.4 Private Sewage Treatment Works 4 .5 Storm Sewage Overflows 5. Special Cases MARCH 1979 Introduction The purpose of this Report is to make recommendations for the revision of consents for discharges within the catchment of the River Irwell, downstream to and including the River Medlock in Manchester. This revision has the sole objective of recognising the present effluent and river water quality - proposals for long term river water quality objectives are to be put forward in other Reports. The report identifies the existing situation regarding the legal status of effluent discharges from Authority and non-Authority owned installations within the catchment, details the determinand concentration limits included in existing discharge consents (where appropriate) and proposes the limits to be included in the reviewed consents. The reviewed consents will reflect the quality of efflu­ ent achievable by good operation of the existing plant based on 1977 effluent quality data but taking into account any improvements, extensions etc. that have been or are about to be carried out and any known further industrial and/or housing development in the works drainage area. The proposed limits are intended to be the 95% compliance figures rather than the 80% compliance figures inferred in existing consents and hence the new figures will obviously be higher than the old.
