    Minutes of the Annual General Meeting of Olveston Parish Council, held at the Queen Alexandra Memorial Pavilion (QAMP), Old Down, on Tuesday 22nd May 2018, starting at 19:30 Present: Mr J Hughes, Mr A Baxter, Mrs C Offer, Mrs P Savage, Mrs N Lewis-Leaver, Mr M Riddle Until 21:35 - Mr A Williams, Mr R Harris Min 45/18 Visitors – Mrs D Buckley, Mrs S Batts, Mrs L Powell, Mr R Williams, Mr K Lazell, Mr C Northover, Mrs R Boere, Mr R Knight, Mr R Offer Mrs Powell began the open session of the Parish Council meeting by presenting each Councillor with a list of 7 questions that she and like minded residents wanted answering. The Chairman noted that it was a slip of the tongue calling the Annual Parish Assembly and AGM and accepted his mistake. The Clerk noted that the monthly meeting minutes of Parish Council Meetings can’t be published until approved by the Parish Council, in the case of the April meeting minutes they were due for consideration at this meeting by the Parish Council, the Clerk admitted that due to his own work load the March minutes had not yet been presented to the Parish Council, and that the February minutes had been queried at a previous meeting, and only that evening were they due to be represented to the Parish Council for consideration. The Clerk also noted that the minutes for the 2017 APA had been prepared by him prior to the 2018 APA and paper copies were available at the meeting, the minutes were published on the website for consideration by parishioners as it is for them to call for the minutes and approve them – the mistake that the Clerk made was not to label the minutes as draft.

Please note that the list does not provide the contents of the records. Also, although it includes covering dates, the registers may not cover every year and there may be gaps in entries. In particular, there are large gaps in many of the bishop’s transcripts. Church of England records Parish registers We hold registers and records of parishes in the City and Deanery of Bristol (later the Archdeaconry of Bristol) which is part of the Diocese of Bristol. These cover: The city of Bristol Some parishes in southern Gloucestershire, north and east of Bristol A few parishes in north Somerset Some registers date from 1538, when parish registers were first introduced. Bishop’s transcripts We hold bishop’s transcripts for the areas listed above, as well as several Wiltshire parishes. We also hold microfiche copies of bishop’s transcripts for a few parishes in the Diocese of Bath and Wells. Bishop’s transcripts are a useful substitute when original registers have not survived.

  • Design Statement
    PARISH OF OLVESTON – DESIGN STATEMENT OLVESTON, TOCKINGTON, OLD DOWN, INGST, LOWER HAZEL, AWKLEY The Design Statement was written, edited and produced by the Olveston Parish Design Team – an independent group of local volunteers. In January 2002 a public meeting was called by Olveston Parish Conservation Society to discuss inappropriate development in the Parish. Over 115 parishioners attended the meeting. The meeting concluded that the preparation of a Village Design Statement would be a practical step the community could take to set out design principles for new development which would be more in keeping with the character of the parish. A Working Group was established and a questionnaire, seeking views on development related issues, was distributed to all 743 households. Over 30% of households responded. A Web Site was created and drafts of the design statement posted on it. A Community Workshop was held to report findings and to discuss key issues emerging. In January 2003 a full draft of the Design Statement was put on display in the Parish Hall (25th January 2003). All households were invited and over 200 people attended. The Design Statement was launched on 6th March 2004. All households were subsequently provided with a copy. Following the launch the Convenor wrote to South Gloucestershire Council asking that the Design Statement be formally adopted as Supplementary Planning Guidance. Officers of the Council subsequently prepared a report for Executive Decision. The report was published as a proposed decision, which became implementable
