    03 Atkins Transport modeling note Technical Note Project: Chippenham Urban Expansion HIF Subject: M4 Junction 17 Author: Reg 13(1) Reviewed by: Reg 13(1) Date: 12/02/2019 Approved by: Reg 13(1) Version: 1.0 Introduction 1.1. Introduction Wiltshire Council are preparing a funding bid to be submitted to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) through the Housing Infrastructure Fund (HIF). The bid seeks to fund a distributor road to the east of Chippenham, from Lackham roundabout of the A350 south west of the town to the A4 London Road, and from the A4 London Road to Parsonage Way in the north. The objective of the distributor road is to aid the delivery of the homes and employment proposals of the Chippenham Urban Expansion. Without the distributor road, the level of development would cause unacceptable levels of delay through Chippenham town centre. However, the proposed growth will also lead to increases in congestion and delay at other points on the highway network, and to resolve these issues Wiltshire Council has proposed a number of mitigation schemes. The mitigation schemes are proposed to be funded by existing CIL and strategic funds where necessary in the short term (by 2024, the opening year of the distributor road) or through expected CIL returns from the proposed development where schemes are required in the longer term. A mitigation scheme was considered necessary at M4 J17, to the north of Chippenham as initial testing of traffic growth suggested that by 2041 the junction would operate significantly over capacity. A meeting between Wiltshire Council’s Chippenham Urban Expansion development team, Homes England and Highways England was held on the 30th January 2019.

  • The Society of Friends in Wiltshire1
    The Society of Friends in Wiltshire1 OR the work of George Fox in Wiltshire see Wilts Notes <§ Queries, ii, 125-9, and The Journal of George Fox, Fed. N. Penney (Cambridge Edn.). The subsequent history of the Quakers in the county can be traced from the MS. records of the various quarterly and monthly meetings, from the Friends' Book of Meetings published annually since 1789 and the List of Members of the Quarterly Meeting of Bristol and Somerset, published annually since 1874. For the MS. records see Jnl. of Friends' Hist. Soc., iv, 24. The records are now at Friends House, Euston Road, London. From the beginning of the eighteenth century, the Quakers' story is of a decline which was gradual until 1750 and thereafter very rapid. The Methodists and Moravians largely supplanted them. An interesting example of the change over from Quakerism to Methodism is to be found in Thomas R. Jones' The Departed Worthy (1857). This book tells the life story of Charles Maggs, a distinguished Melksham Methodist. When Maggs first went to Melksham just after 1800 he made the acquaintance of two Methodists named Abraham Shewring and Thomas Rutty. The family names of Shewring and Rutty both occur in Melksham Quaker records between 1700 and 1750. Even more interesting is the fact that Abraham Shewring was known as " the Quaker Methodist " and that Charles Maggs found that " the quiet manner in which the service was conducted scarcely suited his warm and earnest heart "* WILTSHIRE QUARTERLY MEETING, c. 1667-1785 By 1680 the number of Quaker meetings in Wilts had reached its maximum.

Another couple of months of lockdown has passed and slowly we are emerging. Much has changed of course and most of us are having to look for new ways of doing things. For the first time, the Village Show will be ‘virtual’ this year, relying on photographic inputs rather than the normal gathering in the Hall, for obvious reasons. Alt- hough it will have a much reduced schedule, I hope you’ll still be able to take part.

Food Let us know of any special dietary needs. Please bring a cake to share. We will be eating outside in the garden under shelter. Travel We’ll assume people will sort their own, but happy to coordinate lift shares for people near each other, just ask if this helps you. Cost The cost is £30, for food, camping accommodation, farm expenses. This is a non-profit w/e, we simply want folk to benefit from the experience. Safety This is an important issue on a working farm. Clear advice will be given, however parents need to also assume responsibility for their children and take care!
