Big Local Plan Page 1
Arlies • Springs • Ridge Hill • Hague
Follow a better path,
change futures, different
and healthier lifestyles,
making the right
choices, respect.
(Children of Ridge Hill Estates, 2011)
The Big Local Steering Group decided
this statement from our children reflects
how we want our area to grow. We have
adopted it as our mission statement.
Our Priorities
‘Engage, involve, grow.’
If you can imagine a spider building a web, it starts with a single strand.
Each new strand adds further strength and increases opportunities for
new, different routes. More and more routes open up as the web spreads
out wider, becoming stronger still, more and more strands connecting and
crossing over again and again. This is how we see our Big Local. Single
strands (our people), connecting and crossing over again and again,
becoming bigger, stronger, better, together.
The key areas of focus for our first two years of Big Local are:
1. Creating our Big Local Hub
We have found the right venue at the heart of our area. Securing our own
base and kitting it out to offer a pleasant, welcoming place that people will
love to come to is key to much of what we want to achieve. Our Big Local
Hub will give us a visible, ‘open door’ presence in our Community and be the
centre for many of our projects and activities.
2. It’s good to talk
We intend to keep on talking, to our whole community.
We will put in place strong and effective communication systems,
fully implemented, operational and well used. An all-encompassing
communications plan is vital. It will inform residents of what the “Springs,
Hague, Ridge Hill and Arlies Big Local” is doing as a group as well as
informing them of what events, courses and activities are organised.
3.We can’t do it on our own, partnerships are vital
We will strengthen our existing partnerships as well as sourcing and
developing new alliances.
There is already fantastic work being done in our area by the existing
partnership agencies. We are in a position where we can now support
them even more and help them to provide even better service delivery and
outcomes. At the same time, we will actively pursue and encourage new
partnerships and agencies to enhance what we already have and value.
Our Overall Role and Approach
We will know our Plan is working if:
‘Increasing ‘engagements’ within
our community will help us to
foster a new community spirit.’
1. The Big Local Hub is facilitating lots of activities and delivering a range of
services to our communities. We are particularly looking for take-up by
all four estates which make up our area.
2. Our area is receiving high quality services delivered by a range of local
agencies and partners.
If we are successful in all three of our key areas of focus (page 2), we will
be on the way to becoming a more cohesive, caring community. We can help
to drive and promote a new ‘us’ culture in our area and that ‘together’ we
are bigger, stronger and better. Big Local is a huge opportunity to make a
massive impact in our area. It will give people ownership, empowerment and
a front seat role in shaping the evolution of our area over the next ten years
and beyond.
3. We are continuing to reach local people, particularly through our social
networking and online engagement activities. We will track which of our
estates participants sign up from.
Aspiration, and Inspiration
Our Community Profile describes our area as it is at the beginning of our
journey. Perhaps one of the most striking features is the diversity and
difference between the estates comprising our Big Local patch.
We aspire to a community which is not divided, where we share values and a
sense of place. Our entire neighbourhood will be a place where residents are
not afraid to speak out, and where we welcome everyone, value everyone,
and families receive the help they need. We aspire not to alienate anyone,
not to avoid difficult issues, nor difficult people. We will seek to offer
intervention and support so that people will feel less need to lash out. We
know our estates are home to good families, and to brilliant young people.
We aspire to a future where no one achieves less than their potential due to a
lack of opportunity or encouragement.
We are committed to changing the perception of all our area, and to re-kindle
community spirit. We will do this ‘together’.
The story so far
Following the announcement of the £1m project coming to Ridge Hill
(including Arlies, Springs, Hague and Ridge Hill) a working group of residents
and involved individuals from local organisations was formed (see Appendix
1 for list of individuals who have been involved). The working group have
been using a number of different ways to engage more local people in the
project through events in and around the Big Local area, sending out updates
to residents and presenting information on the scheme to the local schools.
Activity focused on information gathering initially, with the aim of identifying
the local issues (as perceived by the residents) and encouraging people to
join working groups to help achieve the goals set by the partnership going
forward.
There are four generic outcomes for all
Big Local programmes which are:•
Communities will be better able to identify local needs
and take action in response to them.
•
People will have increased skills and confidence, so that they
continue to identify and respond to needs in the future.
•
The community will make a difference to the needs it prioritises.
•
People will feel that their area is an even better place to live.
There have been a number of different stages involved in the scheme
leading to the development of our Big Local Plan. Once approved our plan
will be closely monitored and reviewed. Within the plan the residents have
identified our priorities for the area over the next 10 years. Our intention is
that a resident led partnership will work with local people to implement their
priorities which are both varied and wide ranging.
This is the Big Local Pathway
As is usually the case with any community project, the pathway is not a
fluent linear process. Rather it is one which has required a level of flexibility
in the approach we have taken. We recognise that evidencing and reviewing
the identified outcomes of the plan will be crucial to its success and the
details of how we will do this are set out in the plan.
Community Profile
The Ridge Hill neighbourhood can be found in the Stalybridge area of Greater
Manchester, located nine miles east of Manchester and six miles north west of
Glossop. The neighbourhood includes the areas of Arlies, Springs, Hague and
Ridge Hill itself. As a whole, Ridge Hill is a suburban area and the majority of
the properties (around 3000) are traditional semi-detached and terraced, two
and three bedroomed houses, with only a small number of one bedroom flats
and bungalows.
Whilst New Charter owns a large number of social rented properties in the
area there are a significant proportion of owner occupiers, predominantly in
the Arlies area of the neighbourhood.
The neighbourhood has a limited number of green and open spaces. The
largest area located at the top of Ridge Hill Lane, is used regularly by the
young people of the neighbourhood and people exercising their dogs.
There are two local primary schools in the neighbourhood: Silver Springs
Academy and Arlies Primary School. West Hill School for boys is also within
the neighbourhood although there are a high number of residents who attend
other high schools in neighbouring areas. The neighbourhood benefits from a
Children’s Centre which opened in 2007. There is an active residents group,
RASH Community Forum, who have a history of charitable work and are
involved in organising a number of community events throughout the year.
Within the neighbourhood there are also two churches with strong links to
the local community.
The neighbourhood is close to both the bus station and local train station
with good connections to Stalybridge, Ashton and Manchester. Although this
is the case, there are some issues with transport during the winter months
when some areas of the neighbourhood are difficult to access due to the
steep incline the neighbourhood is based on. The perception is that this
has a knock on effect on the residents locally and although no research has
currently looked at this, levels of isolation are suspected to be high.
The area also benefits from a number of shops, a nearby recently
re-developed park and the local hospital sits on the border of the
neighbourhood. The primary care facility and other amenities expected
to be found in a town centre are located in Stalybridge.
The neighbourhood has a strong history and a number of notable local
figures are associated with Ridge Hill. One of note is Samuel Hill (1864-1909)
a local poet and historian, he wrote one of the most important books about
Stalybridge, ‘Bygone Stalybridge’ (1907). Samuel also penned a poem called
‘Ridge Hill’ which almost certainly encompasses the attitude of pride towards
the neighbourhood we wish to re-create:
“Ridge Hill! Ridge Hill,
in thy praise let me sing,
for much I am
indebted to thee…….”

The information also highlights concerns around child poverty and welfare
which relates in part to the number of young people accessing free school
meals. On top of this the educational attainment levels across the area,
particularly at key stage 2 highlight that the neighbourhood includes 4 of the
lowest scoring LSOA’s for the whole of Tameside .
As well as reviewing the Needs Assessment, information from other agencies
supports a lot of the above information and has told us that across our Big
Local area:-
Residents have identified a number of positive things about living in the
neighbour-hood which include:
particular, binge drinking, alcohol misuse, premature deaths and life
expectancy are all areas of concern within the neighbourhood.
good and friendly, helpful neighbours
cleanliness
appearance
generally peaceful atmosphere
good transport links
being close to shops
Active Thursday activities at Silver Springs Academy
Current information
In respect of the current situation within the neighbourhood, the Tameside
Integrated Needs & Capacity Assessment published by Tameside Council
(TMBC) has identified a number of areas of multiple needs within the Big
Local neighbourhood.
It can be difficult to associate the whole of the neighbourhood with individual
Lower Super Output Areas (LSOA’s) which are the areas of measurement
used for the assessment and other national statistics.
Health inequalities are highlighted as an issue in the neighbourhood. In
1. There are some health inequality issues in the neighbourhood
compared with the rest of Tameside particularly in terms of
higher mortality and disability rates with particular links to
coronary health. Issues around sedentary lifestyles and
underage drinking were also highlighted.
2. Provision of the right kind of services for young families and
children is a particular area of focus.
3. Levels of teenage pregnancy are relatively high in some parts of
the neighbourhood.
4. Crime is seen as a significant issue in some areas with various
forms of antisocial behaviour being the principle concern,
alongside car crime and opportunistic burglary. There is also
seen to be a lack of crime prevention measures in place raising
levels of vulnerability to crime.
5. Access to employment, training and poor educational attainment
are barriers for some residents in the neighbourhood. This has
a significant effect on young adults with potential issues around
poor links to employers, training providers and poor preparatory
support.
6. A variety of agencies thought that young people in the
neighbourhood also suffered more generally in terms of access
to a range of facilities and support services. It was also felt that
more work in these areas would have a positive effect on youth
related antisocial behaviour.
7. There are a number of isolated young families with children who
need additional help due to lack of extended family support.
8. There is an on-going need for more early years provision.
9. Household income is an issue for a number of
households with agencies identifying problems with benefit
dependency for some. Agencies thought there could also be
problems for residents in terms of loss of income as part of the
Government’s welfare reform and an increase in debt issues.
10.Access to mainstream services and amenities can be variable
due to the location of the neighbourhood.
(Information supplied by New Charter)
All in all there are a great number of positives about living in the
neighbourhood and although there are areas of concern which have
been identified by our residents and external research, we are determined
to deliver a number of positive outcomes across the life of the
Big Local plan.
The Big Local Community Board
The Big Local community Board will be a group of people made up of at least
51% residents from within the specified project area (see map in Appendix
2). The Board will be the decision making panel who will look to distribute the
funds within an agreed framework. Aside from the Board it is planned that
advisory groups would also form to look at specific areas of work which may
include Health, Community or Young People for example. We currently have a
shadow Board in place (see Appendix 1)
We feel that we have undertaken enough consultation to be at a stage where
we can look to form the Board. We are currently discussing the practicalities
of this and there will be an option for people who don’t want to be on the
Board itself to go onto an advisory group which may be more suited to their
own skills and interests. Our Board will be formalised at a public meeting,
and there will be an opportunity for new residents not previously involved to
join the Board at that stage.
Community Space
The group have agreed that it would be a good idea to have its own
“Community Space”. We are looking at entering into a lease for office space
in a shopping parade at the heart of the estate with financial support from
New Charter in respect of a portion of the yearly rent. A new kitchen has
been acquired for the Hub through links with local contractors and flooring
and carpet will also be fitted. Our vision is that the space will act as a hub for
all local organisations to operate from and will be a base for the partnership
and volunteers to work from. Training, job clubs and advice surgeries will be
offered at this central hub and the residents will be able to associate more
closely with the Big Local team and ethos.
It is envisaged funding could be used to allow any Board members to access
training opportunities where they feel they need this to help them in their
roles.
The Local Trusted Organisation (LTO)
We will select an organisation based in Tameside to act as our LTO. This
organisation will manage and hold funds on our behalf, commission the
projects required by our community plan, and will employ any staff the
partnership may wish to appoint. We are aware that there could potentially
be 4-5 organisations who will be interested in taking up this role so we will
tender the opportunity and make our selection based on the best value
offered.
Media, Marketing and Everything Electronic
We currently have great resident involvement in this area who, amongst
other things have designed a more in depth and detailed website for the
project although there are more plans to develop this. We will appoint an
advisory group from interested residents and partners who will undertake
training on managing the information on the website and helping to promote
the scheme, events and opportunities to get involved.
We have run a number of sessions in schools including information sessions
and competitions to design a Big Local mascot and logo. We have now put
the two winning entries together to form our own unique logo which will be
used on all marketing.
Logo Competition Winners
Consulting Our Communities
The residents steering group, partner agencies, our LTO and our Big Local
Rep have worked closely together to try to get the word out that Big Local is
here, and that we want to make a difference in our neighbourhoods.
We have used questionnaires, local events, workshops, displays, existing
networks and community activities to gather information about how local
people view this area and the changes they want to see in it. We also
appreciate the work done over many years by local agencies, and know
that they too can offer insights which we could consider. We have sought
to incorporate all perspectives, but have prioritised the views of residents
throughout. This is very much a resident-led Plan.
We received feedback on questionnaires from around 150 residents offering
their opinions of the area and any specific issues they feel the projects should
be targeted towards. We have also held consultation events and workshops.
Examples of questionnaires and outcomes of consultation events are provided
as appendices to this Plan. The information in the plan has also been
supported by census information, information gathered from young people
in the area, information from partners including TMBC and New Charter and
also information from the Police.
Examples of our questionnaires and consultative materials are attached as
appendices to this Plan.
We used the information from the early questionnaires to help us to arrive at
a series of themes which we felt our Plan might address. We further refined
these ideas at a two day consultation event where residents were encouraged
to tell us their own ideas for what they would like to see happening on the
estate. The responses from these events are attached as Appendix 7.
The Shadow Board formed a sub-committee to specifically work on
interpreting and developing the data and ideas we had collected from local
people into a Plan for improving our area. The sub-committee has met as
often as weekly over several months, and has involved primarily residents,
attracting more involvement from local people as the process evolved. The
group has been led by a resident Chair. We discussed our themes in detail,
and arrived at objectives we wanted to achieve for each one. These are
outlined in this table.
Theme
Our Objectives
Community
To nurture and promote a more cohesive community, which
brings together under one umbrella, the four wards of Ridge
Hill, bringing real improvements to the area and to the lives
of people living in it.
Health
To support and encourage healthier lifestyles through a
variety of approaches to reduce the risks of ill health and
promote wellbeing .
Environment
To support activities which focus on the promotion of a
clean, green and pleasant environment and which are
driven by our residents to improve the area and its facilities.
Safety
To support activities and initiatives to make our area a safer
place to live for all residents, visitors, businesses and
our partner agencies.
Young People
To support the development of a younger generation who
feel they belong to and respect their community, who have
increased self-esteem and are encouraged and feel able to
make a positive contribution.
Early Start
To develop our own activities and initiatives but mainly to
support our partners in providing the best possible service
delivery to all newborns and their families, thereby promoting both the child’s and parents’ health, development and
wellbeing.
Economic
Wellbeing
To invest in all people who live here to realise their potential
by delivering training, opportunities and support, and to
provide access to financial services and agencies to those
who need it most.
From long lists of possible projects we have used these objectives to help
guide our priorities, to arrive at a Plan for the first two years which will set
us on the path to achieving them. We are aware there were many things we
chose not to do, or will not be addressing at this stage. Some ideas will come
later in our programme, and some we have felt were better addressed by
other agencies. Big Local will actively promote and seek to add value to the
services and activities offered by our partners. Collaboration and partnership
will be key elements in our strategy for bringing about permanent,
transformational change in Ridge Hill, Arlies, Hague and Springs
Our Community Plan is designed to help bring about the changes we want to
see in our neighbourhood. Some of these will be rapid, others will take longer
to achieve. Some of our aspirations may not be achieved during the ten year
lifespan of Big Local, but we would have made good progress on our journey.
Some of the key things we expect to achieve are:
•
Our Plan will help to create a better connected community. In particular
we are looking to create a shared identity, connecting the parts of the
estate together. When we succeed it won’t matter which part of our area
you come from, everyone has a place here. We will be an inclusive
community where all feel welcomed and valued.
•
We expect to attract more young people to become active citizens in Big
Local and in other aspects of community life. Young people are the future
of our neighbourhood and we value their contribution.
•
By establishing the Big Local Hub we will create a central ‘heart’ for our
community, a focal point for all to meet. This will be an established base
from which to offer services and amenities, but we will use other venues
too. Our area is rich in local resources, both physical and within our
communities. We will build on and maximise these.
Communications Plan : Big Local
We know that a good, solid communications plan will be vital for informing
residents of Springs, Hague, Ridge Hill and Arlies about what the Big Local
group is doing. We will also need good communications channels in order to
make sure people know about the events, training opportunities and other
activities that are organised.
We will use many different communication methods because we know we
need to reach the diverse range of community members, from the teenage
kids with mobile phones, to parents who are starting to master Facebook
and Twitter to the elderly residents who may prefer more traditional methods
such as printed literature, newspapers and advertisements on local radio.
Big Local Hub
Our Big Local Hub is a shop at the heart of our area. This is a focal point so
will be an important advertising opportunity for us. We have a Big Local logo
so wall signage for the Big Local Hub will promote our brand, and we will
keep our branding consistent throughout all promotional items.
Our website and social media are key tools for us. We will use our branding
consistently throughout all online activity and use these to point back to
our Big Local Hub as a point of reference. We will set up training to teach
local people with an interest in web design how to update and maintain the
website.
We will have an active presence on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, including
setting up a group of people who are keen bloggers to add content to
Facebook and generate interest back into our main website. We will post
about events, competitions and the activity of the Big Local group and aim to
build up our followers.
We will continue to build our
database of local contact
details and use these to send
regular email newsletters
to interested residents. We
will use a text messaging
service to remind people of
events and activities that are
happening at the Big Local
Hub or events sponsored by
Big Local.
We will use local media,
in particular Staly Mag,
Stalybridge Gazette, as well
as local radio. We will also
make use of printed literature
and promotional items to help
raise the profile of Big Local in
our area.

Consulting Our Communities
Our Big Local team recognises the need to constantly
reach out to our communities. This task will never be
complete, we will not be complacent. We have made
strenuous efforts to make contact with residents and
will continue to do so. Our communications activity is
designed to help achieve this, using both traditional
methods and new technology, but we have also created
a Community Development and Support Worker post
to directly engage with the estates. The Job description
for this post is attached as Appendix 4.
We will advertise our meetings, and make our minutes
public. We want our work to be transparent, and we
welcome feedback from our estates as this is how we
will know that what we are doing is what residents
want to see happen. We are constantly on the look-out
for new residents to get involved, whether as Board
members or on one of our themed sub-committees.
We recognise that not all residents will want to attend
meetings so we value other forms of involvement on-line, volunteering to help with events or one-off
activities, helping to spread the word.
We have spent nearly two years collecting the views
of our local community, analysing those, working
out what to do with the data we have collected. The
results are in this Plan, and will be in our future Plans
as Big Local helps us to transform our neighbourhood.
Examples of questionnaires and some of the feedback
we have received are attached as Appendices 5-8.

This is an ‘Interim’ or ‘Shadow’ Board. When our Plan has been accepted
by Local Trust, the Interim Board will hold elections to give all residents the
opportunity to become a member of the Ridge Hill Community Board. The
Agencies/Partners will remain as they are.
The ‘Partners’ may allocate a named representative should they not be able
to attend any specific meeting.
Residents may not allocate any representative should they not be able to
attend but they can send comments/suggestions/items to raise to the Chair,
prior to the meeting.
A ‘Young persons’ representative will also be added when the Interim Board
is disbanded and the Ridge Hill Community Board is in place.
A ‘Local Trusted Organisation’ representative may also be added once this
role has been allocated.

…towards a Community Plan
Spending £1million is not straightforward. It needs some thinking about.
What would be the best way to invest this money over the next ten years or
so to help make our estates into a place we can all be proud of?
A group of residents have started to meet, and together we are talking and
thinking and coming up with some ideas to get us started. We’ve identified
eight main themes where we think we can make an impact by using this
money. These are :
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Environment
Health
Our Community
Young People
Economic and Employment
Safety and Reducing Crime
Dealing with Poverty
Giving our children a good start
We’ve decided to discuss each of these in turn to come up with some ideas
for making a difference. Our first discussion took place on 24 January at the
RASH office on Ambleside, and on that day we focused on the Environment.
We felt it would be best to develop what we called an Environmental
Education Programme, by which we mean making sure people understand
why they should help keep our neighbourhoods clean and pleasant for
everyone. We would want to do this by building a sense of pride and respect,
by giving out clear and consistent messages that we all share responsibility
for taking care of the place where we live.
Hill, Arlies, Springs and Hague are welcome to join us – we love to see
new people getting involved in our Big Local. Even if you can’t make it to a
meeting, please feel free to let us know what you think. You can contact us
on Facebook, via Twitter, or leave a comment here.

when we will be talking about how to improve Health in our estates.

Over the last few months we’ve been asking what seem to be the main
problems on the 4 estates that Big Local could help to tackle to improve
the quality of life for everyone. We had information from local residents and
from agencies working in the area. Now we need YOUR help to sort this
information out and decide what to tackle first. From the two lists below,
please would you choose your TOP THREE on each list.
These would be the things which, if we could only do three things, you’d say
were the most important to get on with first.
This list is the thingsResidents told us. Please choose your TOP

The area needs to be cleaner and that means sorting out dog fouling
and fly tipping etc.
There aren’t enough jobs and people on the estates need more training
to be able to get jobs and learn new skills

Workshop on starting to produce the Community Plan
• What is it telling us about the area?
o Themes
RASH Centre, 9 January 2014, 10.30am – 1.00pm
10.30am
o Priorities
Overview and introduction(s).
What are the main objectives for today’s session?
o Local dreams and ideals
• To think about what evidence has already been
gathered and what more is needed, if any
• To look at plans from other BL areas
11.45am
Break for refreshments, early lunch perhaps and a chance
to look at community plans from other BL areas
• To work out how to go about producing our plan – what
needs doing, who does what, by when?
12.00
Preparing and presenting our Plan
Mixed media? Options and suggestions welcome!
• To formulate the outline of our Plan
10.40am
• Film or video (perhaps including images of key locations and
micro- interviews with residents and local workers)
What’s the point of the Plan?
Here are some ideas, but there may be others to add
• Gathering together information and ideas about the BL area
now, and what residents would like the area to be like in 10
years’ time (the start of a community vision)
10.50am
• Any cracking good ideas from other BL plans we’ve seen? Or
things to definitely avoid?
• Written report (narrative) with
• Reaching out to the wider community
o stories and opinions;
• Involving people and building relationships
o photos, pictures and cartoons;
• Using the evidence to identify what people like about the
area, what they would like to improve and what needs to
change
o statistics and survey results;
• Establishing a baseline from which to measure achievements
and progress
o charts showing preferences and priorities, milestones
and timescales
• Setting goals and sharing a common vision
o what else could we put in there?
What information have we got so far?
• Various types and sources (recap on events, consultations,
surveys, other sources of knowledge; where is all this now
held?)
o songs and poems
• Web-based – this could have links to other publications such
as Council reports or plans that relate or overlap with ours,
and other local organisations, and it could be interactive of-
fering residents ways to ‘vote’ on the things they would like
to see happen or maybe to ‘spend’ the £1 million electronically as a way of indicating what’s seen as most important.
• How and when would we review our Plan?
12.30pm
How does the work we’ve done already prepare the
ground for drafting the action plan?
What still needs to be done? Has everyone had a chance to contribute? Are there any major differences that we know of in how
people would like to invest the BL funding, in this room or ‘out
there’?
12.50pm
Summary and conclusions.
A chance to clarify anything else, next steps, share out tasks (if
not already clear) and agree timescales.
1.00pm
End of workshop, date for next session
Appendix 8
THE HUB
The Hub is key to a large part of our Plan. We want to make it a fit for
purpose space where it is not only comfortable and welcoming to use and
spend time in, but it is fitted out to a high technical specification too. The
initial set up cost is justified because of the amount of service delivery and
activities it will host. After the initial set up, we would hope to offer it as
a venue for hire to third parties to generate additional funds, if and only if
there are vacant sessions available outside of the programme we are aiming
to deliver. The running costs (rent, gas, electric, water etc) will be the main
expense to be met going forward. However, there may be a need to invest
in new equipment should demand outstrip supply e.g additional computer
equipment, software purchases.

We believe that by developing strong partnerships with agencies within our
area, the Hub will allow us to facilitate a comprehensive list of training,
support and educational groups. We will consider ‘buying in’ extra and/
or additional service provision but the Hub itself will be the main attraction
to our partner agencies to use and/or be based in to deliver their specific
support/development projects.
These partner agencies include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Local health authority
Social housing organisation (New Charter)
Police
Schools
TMBC
Credit Union (provider tbc)
As we progress into year two, we would expect to engage with new partners
and develop our programme accordingly, but also strengthening and
expanding current partnerships.
