Leasehold and Freehold Reform Bill (11 Dec 2023)

Alistair Strathern: ...will welcome the strengthening of the regulation of management companies in the Bill, but we need to go further. Just last Friday, I had some heartbreaking conversations with residents on the Froghall Fields estate in Flitwick—a lovely part of the world with which I am sure many Members will be familiar from the by-election—who have been left brutally exposed to successive failed...

Prime Minister: Engagements ( 5 Jul 2023)

Karen Bradley: ...campaign called “A Year of Reasons to Visit the Moorlands”. Each week, for a year, I am focusing on one of the many reasons to visit the moorlands. So far I have included Hetty’s Tea Shop in Froghall, the Heaton House Farm wedding venue, some brilliant artists and Alton Towers, and this week is league club day. May I invite my right hon. Friend and you, Mr Speaker, to visit my...

Heritage Railways and Tramways (Voluntary Work) Bill [HL] - Second Reading (15 Jul 2022)

the Earl of Shrewsbury: ...Moorlands, we have a fine example of a heritage railway. The Churnet Valley Railway is a preserved standard gauge heritage railway, originally opened in 1849, which runs from Leekbrook to Froghall in north Staffordshire. A further branch line runs to Cauldon Lowe, where it used to service my former quarries at Cauldon. I believe that that line is one of the earliest light freight lines...

Stoke-Leek Line: Reopening (20 Jul 2021)

Karen Bradley: ...and the expertise of officials at the Department for Transport to work with, to explore what is possible. The line could not only go to Leek, but the line that the heritage railway uses now—to Froghall, through Cheddleton and Consall—could be used. That line goes to the village of Alton, where Alton Towers is. We have one of the largest cement plants in the UK at Cauldon, which is also...

Inland Waterways (28 Oct 2008)

Charlotte Atkins: ...have organised local canal festivals, the place is alive with boats, music, activity and history. There are also plans to bring to life the Uttoxeter canal by opening a 13-mile stretch from Froghall in my constituency to the wharf in Uttoxeter.

[Mr. Eric Martlew in the Chair] — Canals (11 Dec 2007)

Charlotte Atkins: ...banks. Last weekend, torrential rain and flooding, worsened by a silted and blocked culvert, has destroyed some of the thousands of hours of work put in by volunteers and British Waterways at Froghall to restore the first lock and basin of the Uttoxeter canal where it joins the Caldon canal. Such damage will have been repeated throughout the country, and there is no end in sight because...

[Frank Cook in the Chair] — British Waterways (25 Apr 2007)

Charlotte Atkins: ...story the Government's policy towards British Waterways has been. In my constituency, I have seen regeneration funding and the matching volunteer input directed at a project called "Destination Froghall", through which the first lock and basin of the Uttoxeter canal at Froghall have been restored. That area is now an enhanced visitor destination with access for all and walking paths, which...

[Mr. Eric Martlew in the Chair] — Inland Waterways (West Midlands) (27 Mar 2007)

Charlotte Atkins: Absolutely. The project mentioned by my hon. Friend is close to my heart because it would start at Froghall on the edge of my constituency. I agree that if British Waterways does not have the staff to support such valuable initiatives, which are generated by enthusiastic volunteers, the chances of getting a feasibility study off the ground are slim.

Caldon Canal, Staffordshire (Closure) (27 Mar 1963)

Mr Harold Davies: ...and died whilst building this famous section of it. It was built originally for the limestone from the Caldon quarries and to connect with the Trent and Mersey Canals. It went up to the mills at Froghall. I wanted to make sure that I knew my facts. I wrote to the famous copper firm of Thomas Bolton and Sons Ltd. They replied, saying: The River Churnet feeds the Caulden Canal at Consall,...

Orders of the Day — River Pollution (16 Jul 1947)

Mr Harold Davies: ...go into that, but I believe that some of these streams like the Churnet, which starts outside my own town of Leek, is polluted by dye works, and the bed of the river is covered by sewage fungus. At Froghall and Oak-moor effluent from the copperplate works has destroyed all animal life, and for eleven miles beyond that there is no animal or fish life at all in the river. One famous small...
