Budget Consultation 2010/11 BUDGET CONSULTATION 2010/11 Budget Consultation 2010/11 Full list of responses – summarised in Appendix M of the final budget papers to be considered by the Cabinet on 9/2/10 and Council on 12/2/10 Prepared by: Financial Services - February 2010. Page 1 BUDGET CONSULTATION 2010/11 BUDGET CONSULTATION 2010/11 – SUMMARY OF RESPONSES 997 completed surveys were received. Q1. Do you feel that a 2.5% council tax increase (an extra £4.57 a year or 9p a week) is: % Too Much 303 30.4 About Right 450 45.1 Not enough to maintain local services 147 14.7 Don’t know 97 9.7 Total 997 Q2. What do you think should be the Council’s priorities for improving services? (up to 3 can be chosen) Response % Preventing crime & disorder 426 19.2 Street cleaning and maintenance 328 14.8 Helping with community groups and voluntary sector groups 90 4 Parks and gardens 101 4.5 Protecting and enhancing the borough’s environment 59 2.7 Funding discretionary element of concessionary travel 35 1.6 Reducing carbon emissions and adapting to climate change 84 3.8 impacts Delivering value for money 219 9.9 Waste collection and recycling 199 8.9 Arts and culture 333 15 Promoting sport and health living 44 2 Promoting civic pride 39 1.8 Affordable housing 82 3.7 Promoting tourism 46 2 Promoting business and employment 123 5.5 Other (See below): 9 0.4 Total 2217 Responses to Q2 under “other”: Fixing the roads. Heritage. I think we are in a time of protecting services rather than enhancing them. Make pavements much safer. Not promoting – actioning. Reducing waste and excessive cost within the Council. Repairing roads. Road surfaces. Strongly support Glos airport, Staverton. Q3. What improvements would you most like to see the Council make to the borough? In total 371 responses were received to this question. 1. A greater number of police officers visible on the streets. 2. Maintenance of the Everyman theatre. 3. Maintenance of Pittville Park. 4. To ensure that Pittville Park is maintained at least to the minimum standard it is maintained now. But better that more is spent on improving its appearance and facilities. For example, keeping the lakes clean and litter free; getting rid of the rats which are a disgrace; having a proper police presence to try to prevent further Page 2 BUDGET CONSULTATION 2010/11 vandalism; keeping the Central Cross Cafe a low priced and low key facility; providing mobile catering facility at the playgrounds - and there is loads more.... Planting trees along Winchcombe Street to make a better walk from town to Pittville Restoring Pittville Gates at Prestbury Road and Clarence Road" 5. More desirable public transport – i.e. a Tram Service, keep supporting the arts, keep pushing for better recycling services - less discrepancy between what is collected at the kerb, what is collected at recycling points (e.g. supermarkets) and what is collected at the main refuse/recycling depot. 6. I would like to be able to recycle more varied items (e.g. cardboard) using the kerbside box. 7. As a regular user of Pittville Park we would welcome support for the 'Friends of Pittville' group who are trying to make sure the quality of this prime Cheltenham open space is maintained to an appropriate standard. 8. Street cleaning has almost disappeared from some places, when it is done it is to a lower standard than used to be acceptable! Fast food outlets (I hesitate to call them restaurants) should be made to pay more for street cleaning as their packing and products seem to make up a large proportion of the mess. 9. Some the footpaths in Pittville Park need maintenance or re-building. As this is one of the prestige green spaces in Cheltenham we should endeavour to keep it in good condition. 10. Ensure value for money for the hard-pressed council tax payer. 11. Pittville Park i) At the very least some ongoing maintenance and ideally ii) A thorough improvement iii) A guarantee that CBC is committed to long term sustainability of the park by ring fencing some funds to enable future bids elsewhere. 12. Enforcing double yellow line No Parking rules, which are flagrantly broken very often. Improving Pittville Park, which is one of Cheltenham's greatest attractions. 13. Just pick up the litter & sweep the streets everywhere. 14. More for young people to do, e.g. The Axiom 15. I would like the emphasis to be on improvements that will generate a borough that is attractive to businesses, residents and visitors in order to maximise income to support services and people. I do not feel qualified to make specific recommendations as I appreciate the complex situation you are dealing with. The consultation document reads as a well thought through proposal in a difficult time. 16. Refine the budgets where possible and look to other councils in the area who do a great job, i.e. Tewkesbury. 17. Extend resident parking permit hours, at present 9 - 5, increase this to 6. 18. I live in Fairview, it is rare that I am able to park in my own road after 5.00, as a consequence my Resident parking ticket is only valid and relevant on Saturday between 9 - 5 when I wish to park. The Kemble Inn attracts early evening drinkers and these are always the primary culprits. I have never seen a traffic warden after 4; therefore cars are often parked from 4 onwards with no permits. 19. Less cars in town - make more pedestrian areas 20. More dedicated cycle routes. In Cheltenham the car rules and it is very unsafe to cycle on the roads. 21. Help to create a safer environment. 22. Art 's Centre 23. Resurface or, as a minimum, repair badly surfaced roads including side streets. For example, Upper Park Street has subsided in places and has many potholes. 24. More clubs supported with Council money for children in holidays and after school. Supported benefits to do things for poorer families like panto etc. Some kind of town fair/carnival to bring together the town/communities and raise awareness of how fab Cheltenham is. More awareness/training/promotion/advertising of neighbour watch to raise crime awareness, flood awareness (how to cope in diverse situations) community support groups for elderly and poor families/unprivileged children). 25. Please support Everyman Theatre. 26. Overall the town is becoming shabbier by the day. I have several concerns: i) The quality of shop facings above the ground floor, especially in the High Street is poor and looks shabby. Page 3 BUDGET CONSULTATION 2010/11 ii) The bus stops in the Promenade should be moved as they take away the grandeur of the road. If this cannot happen force the buses to shut engines down when waiting iii) Pedestrianise the whole of the Prom to encourage shoppers into the town. iv) Move the bus stops from Clarence Street to overcome the bottle neck. v) One central bus station. vi) Cut down on the late drinking licensees, the town is 'no go' zone for many on Friday and Sat nights. 27. More public sport facilities. Save the Everyman Theatre 28. Improve traffic congestion 29. Supporting the Everyman. The festivals attract a lot of revenue to the town so surely it would be a wise investment to ensure that the theatre is maintained to a suitable standard. 30. Don't forget the need to support the Everyman theatre - an important local facility, a great building and a proper theatre. 31. Enforce parking restrictions especially after 6pm & around the side roads near schools at AM/PM "collection times" also near "corner shops" 32. 1: Beggars on the streets should be actively targeted to be re-introduced into society. 2: Better lighting in Parks. 3: More Roads to be resurfaced/mended. 4: More work/listening/survey put in to creating accessible and low-cost youth entertainment to reduce crime, alcoholism, under age pregnancies etc working through schools etc" 33. I'd like to see them being more supportive of the local attractions we have and the local amenities and invest in their future - these are important to any town or society. 34. Sustainable planting in all the Borough's parks and gardens. 35. Increase recycling efforts, support the Everyman theatre 36. 1. Better Street cleaning including kerb side cleaning, post refuse collection clear up and reduction of pigeons in High Street and Prom. 2. Reduce drinking hours in clubs to curb excessive drinking by young people. 3. Support the improvements to the Everyman Theatre by grant aid. 37. Cheltenham Everyman Theatre. Famous to the entire acting community. The building is a classic and needs a bit of TLC. As it’s the only decent theatre for miles give it a helping hand. 38. A balanced combination of projects that help the town to recover economically, support all sectors of the community and ensure that facilities such as theatres, community centres, museums, libraries are protected and maintained in straightened times - it is easy to dismiss them as 'not productive' in a tough economic climate, but I believe people need opportunities to 'step away' from the day-to-say stresses and remind themselves there is more to life than just putting bread on the table. 39. Everyman theatre refurbish 40. A cohesive tourism policy 41. Updating the Everyman Theatre. 42. Less of a gap between haves and have-nots in the town. More synergistic working with Gloucester. No additional flights or larger planes to Staverton. More "joined up" local/regional transport which would improve mobility and hence employment (e.g.

After meeting with considerable opposition and persecution from the Established Church and others, the Methodist Conference decided to support the work by providing missionary ministers. The early work of building a chapel, fighting for their rights and gaining a degree of official sanction and protection is part of the story.

The light may well be shining down the tunnel now but we are still restricted for our own good and there have been a number of shows that are being cancelled still. Mainly be- cause the planning has to start now for events in a few months time. Rodger is keeping up with this and the events list is cur- rent up to 29th March, other changes will be reported via members only Facebook page, club website and the event themselves. It is still fairly unclear when things can get going again, depends on the sensibility or stupidity of our popula- tion and politicians. It is getting better, vaccination seems to be going very well so it does look like we will be able to start planning a bit soon. Fingers crossed. The cold and gloom of winter, although impressive in it’s own right, is giving way to spring. Things are warming up, even though some days are a bit dodgy, and the usual heralds of the new year are the early bulbs brightening up the gardens. Birds are in and out of my hedge nesting and arguing, seeds are popping up in the greenhouse and I have made a start on the cars. I plan to build up slowly after my partial hibernation so have been out and changed the rear brake shoes on the Herald.

  • Dowty in a Village Called Atworth by Des A.E
    Dowty in a village called Atworth by Des A.E. Rice Many times the question has been asked, “What was a high technology firm such as Dowty doing in a Wiltshire village called Atworth? Some answers have been, “I don’t have a clue” and “Everything and everybody has to be somewhere.” That somewhere, Atworth, is on that stretch of road between Melksham and Bath. We are all aware that the Romans were in the area, but in the more recent past it was internationally famous within the aerospace industries, because of the Dowty factory. Dowty’s – why did they come to the village? The factory was previously The New Mendip Engineering Company, but although taken into the Dowty Group during 1948, it continued under the name New Mendip until the 1970s, when it became Dowty Fuel Systems main machine shop. New Mendip would suggest that there must have been an old one. Mendip brings to mind the Mendip Hills of Somerset, Cheddar cheese, strawberries, Wells Cathedral, Wookey Hole, Cheddar Gorge and cider apples. But this carboniferous bump with green fields tries to mask and hide the true industrial history, spanning thousands of years. It is an area subjected to speculation and urban vandalism on a scale almost unrivalled in these islands ­ mining, manufacturing and quarrying. Why! Even Cheddar Gorge is partially the remains of a stone quarry. The very rich mineral deposits have been exploited there since as far back as the Iron Age, especially lead. The Romans realised the wealth of their conquest by introducing organisation in the area.
