This information has either been taken from the online submission (primary source); the ER certificate; or information received by email and telephone conversations. 2019 was an Electoral Roll Revision year so it has therefore had an impact on the number of places some deaneries / parishes have been allocated. If you would like to query these figures you MUST provide evidence of your APCM figure in 2019 as accepted at your APCM. Regrettably not all parishes returned this information and therefore any parishes whereby the figures are shown in yellow, places have been calculated on an estimated basis and therefore may not reflect an accurate picture.

  • Direct Action Self-Help Groups in Uk Flood Risk Management
    DIRECT ACTION SELF-HELP GROUPS IN UK FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT JONATHAN SIMM MEng, BSc(Eng) CEng FICE Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy DECEMBER 2015 2 Abstract Given an emerging social turn in Flood and Coastal Risk Management (FCRM) towards wider involvement of local communities, this thesis critically evaluates the extent to which Direct Action Self-Help (DASH) groups are, or can be, viable and an efficacious, efficient and effective means of managing and monitoring FCRM assets (and to determine what makes them so). Within this overall aim, the nature and methods of assessment of the human dimensions of FCRM assets is also addressed. The research methods employed include a combination of semi-structured interviews and other ethnographic tools along with detailed case studies. Analytical tools employed include nVIVO textual analysis of interview transcriptions and engineering and economic analyses of the case study sites. Survey work is used to test the assessment of human dimensions on a semantic differential scale. The emergence of DASH groups to organise work on FCRM is found to be motivated by the need to deal with increasing flood risk in the face of reduced public funding, alongside sense of stewardship and community solidarity. These groups have tended to by catalysed by a few motivated individuals and without a clearly designed structure. There is very limited literature about DASH activity in FCRM. Examination of contextual literature has also enabled a previously unavailable conceptual framework to be developed of the different dimensions, contextual aspects and motivations for DASH activity and its support by government, which was further tested by case studies of river conveyance and sea wall management by DASH groups.

It's our job to look after your environment and make it a better place - for you, and for future generations. Your environment is the air you breathe, the water you drink and the ground you walk on. Working with business, Government and society as a whole, we are making your environment cleaner and healthier. The Environment Agency. Out there, making your environment a better place. Published by: David McKnight Flood Risk Management Environment Agency Red Kite House, Howbery Park Wallingford, Oxfordshire Tel: 01491 828664 Email: [email protected] www.environment-agency.gov.uk © Environment Agency All rights reserved. This document may be reproduced with prior permission of the Environment Agency. Executive summary Following the flooding of July 2007, which affected 137 properties in Letcombe Regis, Wantage, Grove and East Hanney, we have investigated options to improve the level of flood protection. This review aims to outline the extent of the recent floods, record the damage and document the response. Opportunities for any improvements that could reduce flood risk for local residents and businesses will be investigated. The keys findings are that an unusually wet May and June with rainfall up to 195% of the long term average combined with an exceptional level of rainfall on 19 and 20 July created unprecedented levels of flow in the Letcombe Brook and the wider land drainage system. Water levels and flows exceeded the capacity of watercourses, culverts and bridges, forcing flood water over and/or around the structures, into roads and residential areas.

    The Churches of the Ridgeway Benefice Childrey: Kingston Lisle: Letcombe Regis: Letcombe Bassett: Sparsholt: West Challow FEBRUARY 2021 Revd Leonora Hill Rector of the Ridgeway Benefice [email protected] 01235 760112 Rest Day: Saturday Revd Andrea Colbrook [email protected] Tel: 01367 820553 Rest Day: Friday Study Day: Tuesday Dear Friends, Our theme for Lent is ‘God’s Story Our Story’. The Church of England has produced this little booklet along similar lines to the ‘Comfort and Joy’ one that we made available for Christmas. Thanks to Deanery funding we would also like to gift this ‘Live Lent’ booklet to you. Inside you will find a short Bible passage, a reflection and a prayer for the forty days of Lent. These daily reflections follow weekly themes, each with an accompanying action, drawn from the Archbishop of Canterbury’s choice of Lent Book for 2021, ‘Living His Story’ written by Hannah Steele, which shares the extraordinary love of God in ordinary ways. Our Lent study group will be an opportunity to share our daily reflections from ‘God’s Story Our Story’ and some of us may want to supplement our reading by purchasing Hannah Steele’s book. The Prayer Stations in our churches will also follow the same theme: ‘God’s Story Our Story’ and one or two people will be sharing their stories in our Zoom services. If you would like to receive a copy of ‘God’s Story Our Story’ then please contact the Pastoral Friend for your village. If you live outside the benefice then do get in touch with myself or Andrea.
