David McCoy Iron Acton Community Choir We are currently preparing for Proms in the Meadow, where we have been invited to sing again. We are intending to sing a couple of great choruses from Carmen with the orchestra and then we have our own programme which we are working towards at the moment. Do come along to the Proms …. It is a great event on the Meadows, this year on July 2nd. Community singing is a powerful force for good and the Iron Acton Community Choir is real proof of that. It is a privilege to work with all the singers and we manage that fantastic balance between working very hard and having a lot of fun too. We now number about 50 members in total. We meet on a Tuesday evening in the Village Hall normally at 20.30 hrs and we pay a weekly sub to support the running of the choir in terms of hiring of the rehearsal space and the purchase of music. There is a currently a waiting list for joining but if you live within the Parish of Iron Acton and would be interested, then please let me know ([email protected]) and we’ll take it from there. Iron Acton Film Club The Film Club completed a very successful 2015/16 season with a celebratory showing of the latest James Bond film “Spectre”. Members were met with a glass of fizz and refreshments in return for attending in appropriate attire (I’ve never seen so many DJs!) This ended our second season operating on a membership basis with a small increase in members which makes our financial future look assured. We will shortly be inviting existing members to renew their membership for the 2016/17 season which will give them entry to 6 films. The dates for 2016/17 are as follows: 1st October 2016 12th November 2016 3rd December 2016 7th January 2017 4th February 2017 4th March 2017 I can’t tell you which films we will be showing yet as we will be emailing the membership in August to vote for their favourites. However, I am fairly confident that “Bridge of Spies” will be one of the first films as it received huge support in our last vote but wasn’t released on DVD in time for us to show it last season. Members can also benefit from the library of DVDs that the Film Club is accumulating. If you have missed a film, but would like to see it, for a nominal fee (£1) members can borrow DVDs from our library of previously shown films. If you would like to join the Film Club there is no need to wait for us to contact you, there should be an application form in this magazine which you can complete and send to me with a cheque for the membership fee of £25 per person. If you have any questions about Film Club membership please do not hesitate to contact me. Simon Cross (Chair) [email protected] 6 The A CTONIANS News email: [email protected] Follow us on: https://www.facebook.com/Actonians In February at the Avon Association of Drama’s One-Act Festival at Backwell Theatre, our Juniors won the Denning Award for Youth Drama (encouragement). Those of us who saw their performance were thoroughly impressed with their growth and commitment over the year. Well done Juniors! They have designed their own T-shirts (which you might have seen them wearing at the Iron Acton May Day festivities) and are now working on a performance for family and friends in mid-July. Following on from the success of last year, we had two more wonderful workshops in March and April with our guest actors, Mark Danbury and Mark McGann. Both were fully booked and thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended. We learned a great deal and hope this will reflect in our future productions. We trust those of you who came, enjoyed our last production of ‘Cranford’ and many thanks for your continued support. We will now be ‘gearing- up’ for the next offering of ‘Humble Boy’ by Charlotte Jones, which will run from 24 – 26 November 2016. Auditions will be held in the autumn, so do have a look at our website for details if you would like to audition. As ever, if there are any budding actors or possible backstage crew members who would like to join, contact us via our email or come along to one of our regular Wednesday night rehearsals in IAPH (Juniors 6 – 7.30 pm and Seniors from 7.30 pm).

  • South Gloucestershire Council Boundary Review Liberal Democrat Group Submission June 2017
    South Gloucestershire Council Boundary Review Liberal Democrat Group Submission June 2017 This submission is from the Liberal Democrat group on South Gloucestershire Council. The Lib Dems are the second largest group on the council, and one of only two to ever have had an overall majority. As such, there is a good understanding of community links, and history, across much of the district. In our submission we have focussed upon the areas where we have deep community roots, stretching back over 40 years. In those areas we know the communities well, so feel we can make submissions which reflect the nuances of natural communities. However, there are some areas where we do feel others are better placed to identify the nuances. In those areas we have not sought to offer detailed solutions. We believe communities and individuals in those areas are best placed to provide their local solutions. We have submitted specific plans for the district over the areas where we have a good understanding, and believe our proposals are powerful, rooted in strong community identities, and efficient local government. All of the proposals are within the permissible variance from the new electoral quota with 61 Councillors, and we do not believe this needs to be modified up or down to make the map work. South Gloucestershire elects in an “all-up” manner, which means under Commission guidance, a mixture of 1, 2, and 3 member wards is appropriate, which we have proposed. We have proposed no ‘doughnut’, or detached wards, and many of the proposals allow for the reunification of communities which have previously been separated by imposed political boundaries.

  • Local Plan 2018-2036
    SUPPORTING DOCUMENT FEBRUARY 2018 South Gloucestershire LOCAL PLAN 2018-2036 Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation Assessment (GTAA) 2017 Explanatory Note February 2018 www.southglos.gov.ukPAGE 3 Planning for our future South Gloucestershire Gypsy & Traveller Accommodation Assessment (GTAA) 2017 – Explanatory Note Introduction The Council, in its capacity as the local planning authority (LPA) is required by national policy to make their own assessment of ‘travellers’ accommodation needs for the purposes of planning. In August 2015, the Government published revised planning guidance in ‘Planning Policy for Traveller Sites’ (PPTS). The most significant amendment was a change to the definition of Gypsy and Travellers and Travelling Showpeople (‘travellers’). The new definition effectively regards those who have ceased to travel on a permanent basis as falling outside of the definition of what it means, for the purposes of planning, to be a Gypsy/Traveller or Travelling Showperson. The revised definition (from Annex 1) is as follows: “Persons of nomadic habit of life whatever their race or origin, including such persons who on grounds only of their own or their family’s or dependants’ educational or health needs or old age have ceased to travel temporarily, but excluding members of an organised group of travelling showpeople or circus people travelling together as such. In determining whether persons are “gypsies and travellers” for the purposes of this planning policy, consideration should be given to the following issues amongst other relevant matters: a. whether they previously led a nomadic habit of life b. the reasons for ceasing their nomadic habit of life c. whether there is an intention of living a nomadic habit of life in the future, and if so, how soon and in what circumstances.” This change to national policy has resulted in the Council needing to update its Gypsy and Traveller evidence base (the GTAA) in progressing its Local Plan.

  • Infrastructure Delivery Plan (March 2014)
    South Gloucestershire Infrastructure Delivery Plan March 2014 Infrastructure Delivery Statement – Supporting Explanation Planning for infrastructure to meet existing deficiencies and future growth is a high priority for the Council. It therefore continues to work closely with its development partners, the West of England Partnership (4UAs) and other statutory and non-statutory organisations to identify and bring forward new and improve existing infrastructure. The information shown in the following matrix reflects the current position at the time of writing [March 2014] based on information available to the Council. The IDP is thus subject to continual update and review as new information becomes available. It is proposed therefore that it is a 'living document'. The IDP matrix should be read in conjunction with the supporting Evidence Appendices. The following tables give a broad indication of the planned provision, cost and need for infrastructure in South Gloucestershire (to 2027). It sets out planned infrastructure to meet existing deficiencies where information is available, plus that required to meet growth as set out in the South Gloucestershire Local Plan 2006 & Core Strategy (Dec 2013). It thereby indicates requirements for additional infrastructure which would not have been necessary but for the implementation of the proposed development. Where available, items contained within existing S106 agreements for major development sites (or agreements in advanced states of negotiation) have been reflected. For clarity these major sites are Emersons Green Science Park, Charlton Hayes, Harry Stoke, Emersons Green East, Park Farm –Thornbury, North Yate New Neighbourhood & University of the West of England. These sites may from time to time, be subject to change due to negotiation and viability testing instigated by the respective developers.
