  • Stroud Labour Party
    Gloucestershire County Council single member ward review Response from Stroud Constituency Labour Party Introduction On 30 November the Local Government Boundary Commission started its second period of consultation for a pattern of divisions for Gloucestershire. Between 30 November and 21 February the Commission is inviting comments on the division boundaries for GCC. Following the completion of its initial consultation, the Commission has proposed that the number of county councillors should be reduced from 63 to 53. The districts have provided the estimated numbers for the electorate in their areas in 2016; the total number for the county is 490,674 so that the average electorate per councillor would be 9258 (cf. 7431 in 2010). The main purpose of this note is to draw attention to the constraints imposed on proposals for a new pattern of divisions in Stroud district, which could lead to anomalies, particularly in ‘bolting together’ dissimilar district wards and parishes in order to meet purely numerical constraints. In it own words ‘the Commission aims to recommend a pattern of divisions that achieves good electoral equality, reflects community identities and interests and provides for effective and convenient local government. It will also seek to use strong, easily-identifiable boundaries. ‘Proposals should demonstrate how any pattern of divisions aids the provision of effective and convenient local government and why any deterioration in equality of representation or community identity should be accepted. Representations that are supported by evidence and argument will carry more weight with the Commission than those which merely assert a point of view.’ While a new pattern of ten county council divisions is suggested in this note, it is not regarded as definitive but does contain ways of avoiding some possible major anomalies.

  • Communications Roads Cheltenham Lies on Routes Connecting the Upper Severn Vale with the Cotswolds to the East and Midlands to the North
    DRAFT – VCH Gloucestershire 15 [Cheltenham] Communications Roads Cheltenham lies on routes connecting the upper Severn Vale with the Cotswolds to the east and Midlands to the north. Several major ancient routes passed nearby, including the Fosse Way, White Way and Salt Way, and the town was linked into this important network of roads by more local, minor routes. Cheltenham may have been joined to the Salt Way running from Droitwich to Lechlade1 by Saleweistrete,2 or by the old coach road to London, the Cheltenham end of which was known as Greenway Lane;3 the White Way running north from Cirencester passed through Sandford.4 The medieval settlement of Cheltenham was largely ranged along a single high street running south-east and north-west, with its church and manorial complex adjacent to the south, and burgage plots (some still traceable in modern boundaries) running back from both frontages.5 Documents produced in the course of administering the liberty of Cheltenham refer to the via regis, the king’s highway, which is likely to be a reference to this public road running through the liberty. 6 Other forms include ‘the royal way at Herstret’ and ‘the royal way in the way of Cheltenham’ (in via de Cheltenham). Infringements recorded upon the via regis included digging and ploughing, obstruction with timbers and dungheaps, the growth of trees and building of houses.7 The most important local roads were those running from Cheltenham to Gloucester, and Cheltenham to Winchcombe, where the liberty administrators were frequently engaged in defending their lords’ rights. Leland described the roads around Cheltenham, Gloucester and Tewkesbury as ‘subject to al sodeyne risings of Syverne, so that aftar reignes it is very foule to 1 W.S.

  • Two Prehistoric Enclosures at the Beeches Playing Field, London Road, Cirencester, Gloucestershire
    Trans. Bristol & Gloucestershire Archaeological Society 130 (2012), 31–61 Two Prehistoric Enclosures at The Beeches Playing Field, London Road, Cirencester, Gloucestershire By DONNA E.Y. YOUNg and JONAtHAN G.P. ErSKINe1 With contributions by ElAINe MOrrIS, Peter MAKey, ANdrew ClArKe and KAtH HUNter Publication drawings were prepared by Lynn Hume from originals by Davina Ware and Vicky Patrick INtrOdUctION The excavation at The Beeches, carried out in the summer of 1999 in advance of residential development by Bryant Homes (South West) Limited, followed a staged programme of geophysical survey, desk-based study and trial excavation (Erskine 1995b and 1997). The site covers a former playing field on the outskirts of Cirencester, c. 1 km to the east of the city centre (Fig. 1), now Pheasant Way and North Home Way. The project was designed to record fully archaeological deposits previously located, centred at SP 037022, indicating a significant multi-period prehistoric site with episodes of occupation during the Middle Bronze-Age and Early Iron-Age periods and provided secure dating evidence for crop marks first investigated in the 1970s (Reece 1990). Evidence of three periods (six phases) of archaeological activity, from the prehistoric to the modern era, was identified. Four phases in Period I related to prehistoric activity. Throughout the site, the features had been truncated by subsequent ploughing and modern levelling (Fig. 2). The Prehistoric Activity: Period I Phase I.1: Mesolithic [c. 10000–4000 BC] A small, but significant assemblage of Mesolithic flints, including scrapers, retouched flakes, a bladelet and an obliquely blunted point, comprising c. 12% of the total flint assemblage (The Flints, below), was recovered, largely from Area A (Fig.
