A review of existing archaeological and historical sources suggested that the Site has a low potential for containing deposits of Prehistoric to Medieval date, and a high potential for containing deposits relating to a terrace of late 19th century buildings. Farming and various phases of construction in the 19th onwards is likely to have truncated to an unknown extent any archaeological deposits across much of the site. _____________________________________________________________________ i Archaeology South-East Lion House, Slough _____________________________________________________________________ CONTENTS 1.

  • Link to OPAR 2012 Newsletter
    The Old Paludians Newsletter Founded 1915 Website: www.oldpaludians.org March 2012 EDITORIAL As you all know, Slough Grammar School is this year celebrating its centenary. In 2015, The Old Paludians Association will celebrate its own centenary. During this time there have been so many changes, both globally and locally. Slough has changed completely since the 1950/60s and those changes would seem even more astonishing to anyone who attended the original Slough Secondary School in 1912. During the past 100 years not only have we suffered two terrible World Wars- as you will see reflected in some of the many news items sent in – but also Man has taken his first steps on the moon and…computers have arrived on Earth. Every pupil has access to the latest technology and even Luddites, such as your Editor, find themselves making frequent references to dongles, dingbats and the latest Blu-ray technology (my apologies to those of you who have never travelled this path, but be reassured - you may be better off as it can be infuriating when it fails !). All this has made almost everything accessible to almost everybody, which may or may not be an advantage. We shall see! We are simply left wondering what the next 100 years will bring. Will it still be considered polite to thank someone for help received? I sincerely hope so! With that in mind, I should like to thank Mrs Mercedes Hernández Estrada for allowing us to once again invade the building for this, our special reunion. This is my last editorial, as I am now handing the task over to Bob Moss (see details below).

  • Independent Monitoring Board Annual Report Harmondsworth
    Independent Monitoring Board Harmondsworth Immigration Removal Centre Annual Report 2011 Monitoring fairness and respect for people in custody March 2012 1 THE STATUTORY ROLE OF THE IMB Every prison and immigration removal centre (IRC) has an independent monitoring board made up of members of the public from the community in which the prison or IRC is situated. IMB members have access to all parts of the establishment they monitor and to all its records, and can speak to any prisoner or detainee. They are unpaid volunteers who are appointed by ministers – in the case of IRCs by the Minister for Immigration. This board monitors the Harmondsworth Immigration Removal Centre, near Heathrow. The board is specifically charged to: 1. Satisfy itself as to the humane and just treatment of the detainees held in the centre. 2. Inform promptly the Minister of State for borders and immigration, or any official to whom he has delegated authority, any concern it has. 3. Report annually to the Minister on how far Harmondsworth IRC has met the standards and requirements placed on it – and what impact these have on those held in the centre. Harmondsworth IMB is committed to an inclusive approach to diversity which encompasses formally recognised differences, such as race, religion, gender, disability, sexual orientation etc. and differences that cut across these categories, such as mental health or literacy levels. We will endeavour to carry out our duties in a way that makes us accessible to all detainees, regardless of their background or situation and to monitor that all are being treated equally and fairly.

    SPELTHORNE M E A N S B U S I N E S S Economic Strategy 2017 - 2022 Foreword Cllr Colin Barnard The Spelthorne Economic Development Strategy 2017-2022 builds upon the Borough’s first economic strategy 2013 – 16 and focus on prioritising the key needs for business to settle, grow and thrive. Through the strategy the Borough aims to realise its ambitions and release its potential as a leading economy not just in Surrey but the wider sub-region. The strategy has been produced at a time when the local, national and international economies are all taking stock and preparing for the future with regards to the impact of significant events and decisions such as the Governments preferred location of Heathrow for the UK’s additional runway, southern rail access to Heathrow, plans around business rates retention and setting, and of course Brexit. The health of the Spelthorne economy has shown remarkable growth over a number of years, as evidenced by our position in the top quartile of local authorities in the UK for competitiveness, 17th best location for high tech occupations and with Staines- upon-Thames identified as the fastest growing town in the UK for new start-up businesses. Spelthorne possesses the foundations envied by other locations, particularly given its proximity to London and Heathrow, forming part of a powerfully functional economic area; the M3, M4 and M25 which help drive the prosperity of the south east all run through or in close proximity to Spelthorne. Members and Officers of the Council are united in working hard to ensure that economic growth and the associated benefits to our community continue to grow and Spelthorne can compete with the best.

  • Statement of Common Ground with Spelthorne Borough Council
    Statement of Common Ground with Spelthorne Borough Council Part 1: Strategic context Geographical area covered by Statement of Common Ground (SoCG) and justification for why this geography is appropriate: This SoCG covers the local authority areas of Runnymede Borough Council and Spelthorne Borough Council as shown in the map extract at Annex 1. This geographical area has been chosen as the Runnymede-Spelthorne SHMA (November 2015) determined that these two local authorities for a Housing Market Area (HMA) and HMA geography is considered to be the most appropriate starting point to produce a SoCG. It is also relevant that the evidence collated by both Local Authorities supports that Runnymede and Spelthorne have the strongest functional links from an economic perspective with each other as well as strong retail links. Wider relationships with Runnymede and Spelthorne: The 2015 SHMA concluded that the Runnymede-Spelthorne HMA has notable links with overlapping local housing markets which reflects the density of transport networks, both road and rail. Links were concluded to be particularly strong with Elmbridge, Hounslow and Woking. There are also notable links between the Runnymede- Spelthorne HMA and London due to outward migration pressures and strong commuting patterns. There are also recognised links between both Local Authorities and Heathrow Airport. Indeed, both Local Authorities are considered to sit in a sub regional Heathrow Functional Economic Area. The Spelthorne FEA analysis (March 2017) concludes that Spelthome holds its strongest economic links with Runnymede, followed by Elmbridge and the London Borough of Hounslow. Woking and the London Borough of Richmond-upon-Thames are found to influence the FEA to a much lesser extent.

  • Parish Profile 2020
    ST. ANDREW’S SHARED CHURCH, CIPPENHAM, SLOUGH Parish Profile 2020 Washington Drive, Cippenham, Slough SL1 5RE, Website: https://standrewcippenham.org.uk/ Please note: Ministry and Mission during COVID-19 Following the lockdown announcement St Andrew’s closed its doors for worship on March 24th. However, church life did not stop. Through individual prayer and action members have tried to reflect God’s love to each other and our community. • Zoom has been used to continue Bible Study and Night Prayer led by our LLM • We have kept in touch with elderly and vulnerable members of our congregation by telephone and socially distanced meetings • Our weekly pew sheet has been sent electronically to families as well as being hand delivered to those not online • Our website has been updated weekly ensuring that people are aware of the other forms of worship available within the Oxford Diocese, more locally and via the media of radio and television • We have continued to host Slough Foodbank. Some members of the congregation assist with this service while many donate to it • Our Ministry Team has met regularly, and we have also worked closely with our Roman Catholic brothers and sisters especially to manage re-opening for private prayer and then for public worship On reflection: We have understood the importance of community and the simple act of gathering as a worshipping people. We have missed the buzz of conversation and the sound of laughter until our churchwarden ask for a time of quiet reflection before the service starts. Many people have mentioned their sadness at the absence of the Eucharist during closure.
