All Stroud District Council Seats Are up for Election on 07 May 2020 All Stroud District Council seats are up for election on 07 May 2020. To stand as a candidate in the local elections nomination papers must be submitted between Tuesday 24th March and 4pm on Wednesday 08th April. The Local Government Boundary Commission for England have now approved the Parish/Town boundary amendments that were agreed at Council on the 19 December 2019. Unfortunately, the timescales for the Electoral Register have not allowed the publication of the Local Order for all district wards ahead of the Register being republished on the 3 February (Kingswood not included). A meeting to agree approval of the district ward boundary changes will be held on on the 17 February and the oustanding parish and district ward boundary changes will be reflected in the 02 March Electoral Register to come into force for the 07 May local elections. This will include changes to Kingswood Ward (11 properties). A reminder that the Local Transport Plan (County - Draft for Consultation) will be available for discussion in Stroud District at the Council Chamber, Ebley Mill on Thursday 13th February: daytime surgeries in reception area (11 - 3pm)/evening presentation with Q&A (4 - 5:30pm). Stroud District dog owners have been reminded to keep dogs under proper control after several incidents involving aggressive dogs in the space of a week. Stroud District Council Animal Welfare Officers have dealt with reports of three dog-on-dog incidents in the district, and have issued a reminder about keeping dogs on leads. Most incidents reported to Council Officers stem from both dogs being off the lead – and therefore, in the eyes of the law, not “under proper control”. If your on-lead dog is injured by another which is off the lead, the incident can be reported to the council. It’s important to check both dogs for wounds and photograph them, not exercise the dog to avoid causing more damage to wounds, seek veterinary treatment as soon as possible and take down the other party’s details in case they are needed for insurance or prosecution. Severe dog-on- dog attacks should be reported on 01453 754478 or at [email protected] The Gloucestershire Joint Waste Committee (GJWC) was formally constituted between Gloucestershire County Council (GCC), Cheltenham Borough Council, Cotswold District Council, Forest of Dean District Council and Tewkesbury Borough Council. Stroud District Council and Gloucester City Council attended committee meetings as non-voting members. On 06th December 2018 Cheltenham Borough Council sent notice of its intention to leave the GJWC. This triggered the termination provisions, meaning that the GJWC ended on 13th December 2019. In light of this, GCC commissioned a report to review the arrangements and to help consider future options. A consensus deemed there to be value in joint working and of the options generated, forming a new partnership with a less formal approach that encouraged all partners to join was favoured. Further to this officers from each authority have developed draft terms of reference for the Resources and Waste Partnership, which will be further discussed and agreed at the first board meeting. The purpose of the proposed new partnership will be to provide countywide leadership and a framework for joint working between Gloucestershire local authorities on resources and waste matters. A principal function will be the development of a new joint Resources and Waste Strategy for Gloucestershire, setting out a clear plan for delivering sustainable and affordable services over the next decade. Once adopted the proposed new partnership will coordinate and oversee the delivery of this strategy. The 2019-20 Civic Timetable is provided with this report, the next key event being the full District Council meeting on 20 February. Mark Reeves Stroud District Councillor for Kingswood Ward including Hillesley and Tresham 09 February 2020 .

  • Council Tax Spending Plans 2021 to 2022
    FOREST OF DEAN DISTRICT COUNCIL SPENDING PLANS 2021-22 The level of council tax Council tax is the main source of locally-raised income for this authority and is used to meet the difference between the amount a local authority wishes to spend and the amount it receives from other sources such as business rates and government grants. In determining the level of council tax payable, the Cabinet has borne in mind the difficult economic and financial climate that many of our residents face, although our funding from Central Government has declined sharply during the period 2010 to 2021 (although there has been increased funding in 2020-2021 to help with the impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic), with uncertainty over future funding levels after March 2022. With this in mind, the Council has to consider what level of increase in council tax is sustainable, without creating an increased risk of service cuts and/or larger tax increases in the future. The average council tax you will pay for services provided by the District Council is £189.03 for a Band D taxpayer equating to £3.64 per week. This is an increase of £5.00 over last year, equating to less than 10 pence per week. Service delivery The Council aims to maintain the delivery and high standard of its services to residents, protecting front line services within the reduced funding available. The Council has no funding gap in 2021-22 although we have increased costs, the continued impact of low interest rates on investment income, impact of Covid-19 Pandemic as well as additional government support throughout the pandemic.

  • THE TEWKESBURY and CHELTENHAM ROADS A. Cossons
    Reprinted from: Gloucestershire Society for Industrial Archaeology Journal for 1998 pages 40-46 THE TEWKESBURY AND CHELTENHAM ROADS A. Cossons The complicated nature of the history of the Tewkesbury turnpike trust and of its offshoot, the Cheltenham trust, makes it desirable to devote more space to it than that given in the notes to the schedules of Acts to most of the other roads. The story begins on 16 December 1721, when a petition was presented to the House of Commons from influential inhabitants of Tewkesbury, Ashchurch, Bredon, Didbrook, and many other places in the neighbourhood, stating that erecting of a Turnpike for repairing the Highways through the several Parishes aforesaid from the End of Berton-street, in Tewkesbury, to Coscombgate .......... is very necessary'. The petitioners asked for a Bill to authorize two turnpikes, one at Barton Street End, Tewkesbury, and one at Coscomb Gate, at the top of Stanway Hill. Two days later a committee reported that they had examined Joseph Jones and Thomas Smithson and were of the opinion that the roads through the several parishes mentioned in the petition 'are so very bad in the Wintertime, that they are almost impassable, and enough to stifle Man and Horse; and that Waggons cannot travel through the said Roads in the Sumer-time'. Leave was given to bring in a Bill and this was read for the first time the next day. During the period before the second reading was due, two petitions were presented on 23 January 1721-2, - one from Bredon, Eckington, etc., and the other from Pershore, Birlingham, and other places.

  • Forest of Dean District Dementia Action Alliance
    Forest of Dean District Dementia Action Alliance Geography: The Forest of Dean District is one of the seven in Gloucestershire County. Not quite the smallest but it is on the edge- of the County and of the Country. The population is about 83,700 people with about 34167 households (households with at least one usual resident). Projections suggest that our population will grow to 86,800 by 2025 and 89,900 by 2037. The area is classified as rural with no one town dominating. Newent is in the North area and is closest to a major centre, Gloucester. The other three towns are Lydney, in the south, with Cinderford and Coleford in the centre. The industrial heritage and natural landscape is something which people living in the area feel connected to. Locally the Forest of Dean District is known as the land between two rivers (the River Severn and the River Wye). Transport issues have repeatedly been identified as an issue which the Forest of Dean Community Transport Project is working proactively to understand and enable. The town hosts a community Background: In 2008 the then Local Strategic Partnership (multiagency partnership) did considerable consultation across the district within which carers issues were identified such as the need for them to have a voice, greater recognition needed of who a carer is. In response to this local partners came together informally as the Forest of Dean Carers Partnership – examples of their work are – a roadshow which increased Carers Glos database by 40%, annual Carers Rights Day events which are now quarterly forums, and across the county facilitated by Carers Glos but still supported by local partners.

  • Morcote in Hartpury and the Domesday Geography of Longbridge Hundred
    Trans. Bristol & Gloucestershire Archaeological Society 129 (2011), 139–145 Morcote in Hartpury and the Domesday Geography of Longbridge Hundred By SIMON DRAPER During research for the Victoria County History of Gloucestershire in Minsterworth and Lassington parishes1 new evidence has come to light that appears to challenge two long-held beliefs concerning the early history of the area: firstly, that the Domesday estate of Morcote in Longbridge hundred is identifiable with Murcott in Minsterworth and, secondly, that the eponymous ‘long bridge’ of the hundred, presumably representing its traditional meeting-place, was the Over Causeway outside Gloucester. In this article I will suggest not only that Domesday Morcote was located in the south of Hartpury parish, where documentary evidence indicates the presence of a medieval estate bearing that name, but also that the meeting-place of Longbridge hundred was a crossing of the river Leadon north of Lassington. Gloucester Abbey’s Possessions at Morcote The earliest evidence for the existence of a medieval place called Morcote within Hartpury parish comes from two charters preserved in the cartulary of Gloucester abbey. Both, which have hitherto been thought to relate to Murcott in Minsterworth,2 are headed ‘Morcote’ and record gifts to the monastery of meadow and pasture by a certain William of Morcote.3 The charter dated between 1263 and 1284 is a grant of a meadow in Morcote called ‘Radeham’ and it includes a description of the meadow’s location: ‘in length from Henry of Morwent’s meadow called Depeneye to the pasture called Sumerham, and in width between Radefelde and the water called Ledene’.4 The mention of the river Leadon immediately locates it outside Minsterworth parish, whilst the reference to Henry of Morwent suggests it was situated in Hartpury.
