Seasonal changes catch my attention and I can rarely resist the changing colours and textures of the natural year. I sketch and paint in watercolour, charcoal or oil then return to the studio where I make larger mixed media pieces guided by memory and feeling. Work gets cut down, torn up, collaged and reformed.

Introduction The aim of this project is to identify ways to safeguard important scientific fossils from the Dorset and East Devon Coast World Heritage Site. The identification of placements in accredited museums would enable intellectual access for scientific study and education. Two consulting companies Weightman Associates and Hidden Horizons have been commissioned to undertake this Project. Weightman Associates is a partnership of Gill Weightman and Alan Weightman; they have been in partnership for twenty years working on museum and geology projects. Hidden Horizons Ltd is a museum and heritage consultancy formed in 2013 by Will Watts. When UNESCO granted World Heritage status to the Dorset and East Devon Coast in 2001 it recognised the importance of the Site’s geology and geomorphology. The Jurassic Coast Management Plan 2014-2019 has as one of its aims to “To Conserve and enhance the Site and its setting for science, education and public enjoyment” and the Plan states that a critical success factor is “An increase in the number of scientifically important fossils found along the site that are acquired by or loaned back to local accredited museums”.

WELCOME to the first edition of the newsletter for the Friends of Hengistbury Head Lookout and Watchkeepers alike. The word “ahoy” has several derivations but is most familiar to us as a general maritime call to attract someone’s attention, perhaps to alert them to something of interest ….. what better name for our bi-monthly publication, designed to keep you informed of all the recent and forthcoming activities of NCI Hengistbury Head? We are most grateful to all our Friends for your ongoing support and would be interested to receive any feedback regarding this newsletter. Please address any comments to our Friends administrator Maureen Taylor [email protected] who will forward them to the editing team. Thank you!

  • National Sample from the 1851 Census of Great Britain List of Sample Clusters
    NATIONAL SAMPLE FROM THE 1851 CENSUS OF GREAT BRITAIN LIST OF SAMPLE CLUSTERS The listing is arranged in four columns, and is listed in cluster code order, but other orderings are available. The first column gives the county code; this code corresponds with the county code used in the standardised version of the data. An index of the county codes forms Appendix 1 The second column gives the cluster type. These cluster types correspond with the stratification parameter used in sampling and have been listed in Background Paper II. Their definitions are as follows: 11 English category I 'Communities' under 2,000 population 12 Scottish category I 'Communities' under 2,000 population 21 Category IIA and VI 'Towns' and Municipal Boroughs 26 Category IIB Parliamentary Boroughs 31 Category III 'Large non-urban communities' 41 Category IV Residual 'non-urban' areas 51 Category VII Unallocable 'urban' areas 91 Category IX Institutions The third column gives the cluster code numbers. This corresponds to the computing data set name, except that in the computing data set names the code number is preceded by the letters PAR (e.g. PAR0601). The fourth column gives the name of the cluster community. It should be noted that, with the exception of clusters coded 11,12 and 91, the cluster unit is the enumeration district and not the whole community. Clusters coded 11 and 12, however, correspond to total 'communities' (see Background Paper II). Clusters coded 91 comprise twenty successive individuals in every thousand, from a list of all inmates of institutions concatenated into a continuous sampling frame; except that 'families' are not broken, and where the twenty individuals come from more than one institution, each institution forms a separate cluster.

Item No. Action PUBLIC DISCUSSION OF ITEMS ON AGENDA Clerk will make the recording of the meeting available. 2020/022 APOLOGIES / DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST / GRANT OF DISPENSATIONS – Apologies were received and accepted from Cllr Jim Cooper & PCSO Alex Bishop. 2020/023 REPORTS FROM DORSET COUNCILLOR AND LOCAL POLICE OFFICER a) PCSO Alex Bishop sent his apologies for being unable to attend and the following report: “Please accept my apologies and a report for tomorrow’s meeting. We had a report from a resident of Mosterton, reporting the amount of speeding traffic. As this was during the lockdown phase, this was at a time when the Community Speed Watch team were not operating. If you have noticed that there has been an increase in speed, the CSW team will be able to start operating again today (Monday 13th July). On 25th June, we had a report of a cold caller, selling household cleaning products from a hold all. This is likely what is known as a ‘Nottingham Knocker’, a male recently released from Prison, travelling the Country to sell these products door to door. Some people are concerned about the validity of the males, but so long as they have a Peddlers License and they are professional (as any salesperson should be), they are not committing any offences. I advise anyone that has any cold callers to not get into any discussions with them and ask them to leave (unless you particularly wish to purchase anything they are selling of course).

These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which East follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. Yorkshire & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform West their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a East landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage Midlands broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will West also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Midlands East of Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features England that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each London area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental South East Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. South West The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.
