  • Towards an International City of Culture
    Towards an International City of Culture Southampton City Council Arts and Heritage Strategic Vision Executive Summary This Strategic Vision defines Southampton City Council’s strategic role regarding Arts and Heritage provision within the wider context of the City of Southampton Strategy towards 2026, council priorities, the Southampton Heritage and Arts People initiative (SHAPe), and the sub-regional Partnership for Urban South Hampshire (PUSH). Southampton is a thriving and growing city with a diverse and dynamic population. However, these developments are in pockets and other parts of the city (economically, physically, socially) remain significantly deprived. We want to transform Southampton from being a gateway to a place of destination where people want to visit, put down roots and engage in community. The City has a fantastic opportunity over the next twenty years to transform its cultural offer and create an overall vibrant cultural soul, a sense of identity and uniqueness that connects people to each other and to Southampton as place. Its rich cultural makeup, internationally important heritage story and nationally dynamic arts and creative scene provide an inspirational resource for exploitation. The significance of Southampton within the Partnership for Urban South Hampshire (PUSH) regional development area will ensure that this potential can be realised particularly within the context of Living Places. Culture is critical to Southampton’s economic development, health and wellbeing and the creation of an attractive image of the city as a place in which people want to live, work and play. Without a vibrant cultural soul, Southampton becomes a divided, anonymous, modern and transient settlement with little civic pride or unique sense of place, and without an attractive, sustainable and stimulating environment that people value.

Last year we experimented with including write-ups of the talks given at our indoor meetings and they proved very popular. So this year Membership Report for 2017 1 we have included more! Particular thanks are due to Daphne Woods for writing notes in the dark, transcribing them and checking their accuracy Peartree Green Local Nature Reserve 2 with the speakers. Garden Wildlife Recording 4 Thanks are also due to the speakers themselves, to Cath Corney for arranging the talks, and to Anthea and Vernon Jones for making the teas Bats — Superheroes of the Night 7 and coffees. It is quite a task arranging such a varied list of talks, so if you have any ideas for a topic or can suggest a good speaker (perhaps someone Bird Aware Solent you have heard give a talk to another group), let Cath know. Raising Awareness of Bird Disturbance 11 It would be great if future Annual Reports also included write-ups of our outdoor meetings. We also need more leaders for our walks. Contact Evolution of Birdiness Julian Mosely or Phil Budd if you are interested. Predatory Dinosaurs and the Evolution of Birds 14 We would also welcome articles from members, both for the Annual Report and for the website.

A wide range of media was employed aimed at local and overseas audiences. Traditional forms of media such as newspapers and posters were joined by new media, including cinema (film), newsreels, and radio. A wide range of themes were addressed, fostering hostility to towards the enemy, support for the allies, and specific pro-war projects such as conserving metal, waste, and growing vegetables. Propaganda was deployed to encourage people to volunteer for onerous or dangerous war work, such as factories of in the Home Guard. Male conscription ensured that general recruitment posters were not needed, but specialist services posters did exist, and many posters aimed at women, such as the Land Army or the ATS. Posters were also targeted at increasing production. Pictures of the Armed Forces often called for support from civilians, and posters juxtaposed civilian workers and soldiers to urge that the forces were relying on them, and to instruct hem in the importance of their role.

  • Southampton's Migrant Past
    SOUTHAMPTON’S MIGRANT PAST A WALKING TOUR This pamphlet and the walking tour are to introduce you to the rich history of Southampton’s migrant past. Southampton, even from prehistory, has been shaped by migration – both through invasion (Romans, Saxon, Viking and Norman) and by refugees and others who have chosen to come or have been sent here, making it the exciting cosmopolitan city it is today. Much of this migrant past is hidden but can still be found. This is typified by the cover illustration – the wonderful automata Bathers in Southampton Water by Sam Smith. Sam, the son of a steamship captain, grew up in Southampton and used to watch the liners go by, impressed as a lad only by the number and size of their funnels. Later in life after visiting Ellis Island in New York he realised that they were vessels carrying thousands of ordinary migrants. In this work, Sam Smith tells the user of this model that in the bowels of the ship ‘you may espy the Steerage Passengers’. These, he believed, were ‘the real people’. Similarly this walking tour will make ‘the invisible, visible’ so that the migrant contribution can be fully appreciated - not only for those who live here but also to visitors to Southampton. Southampton, past and present, is a place of movement and settlement. This tour is designed to show that its dynamism is built on migration. We hope you enjoy exploring these exciting sites which will concentrate on the historic quarter and the old dock area. A separate tour of the old Cemetery - over a mile to the north - is also provided, revealing again the fascinating and unique histories of migrant Southampton.

This project is a framework to address environmental quality concerns and reduce pollution, by improving awareness and influencing behaviour throughout the Solent. CSSS particularly seeks to improve water quality and address coastal litter. A Project Group was formed from Solent Forum members, and in February 2018 this scoping paper was produced. In addition the Solent Forum are developing a project website (www.solentforum.org/services/Current_Projects/CSSS/) and have developed a spreadsheet to track the current numerous initiatives, campaigns and funding on litter. This is available on request to members. Introduction Coastal littering is an activity that results in waste material being left by people on the shoreline and/or in the water. People putting inappropriate material (fat, cotton-buds, wet-wipes) down toilets and drains is also of concern as this can cause sewer blockages, which can result in sewer flooding leading to discharges of raw sewerage into watercourses, degrading water quality.
