In Principal the Police Have No Objections to the Application We Do In principal the police have no objections to the application We do however ask that the house rules/agreement as to conduct and code of conduct are incorporated into the licensing conditions. In addition we would ask that the following conditions be applied to the licence 1. A list of performers shall be available on the premises for immediate production if requested by police or council. This list shall contain full names dates of birth and contact details (address and/or telephone number). 2. A minimum of one SIA -registered door supervisor shall be employed in the designated area where sexual entertainment is taking place and they shall intervene promptly to ensure compliance with codes of conduct /house rules. In addition to the above we would ask that no drinks promotions take place within the premises. In relation to handbills or flyers we ask that they do not contain any indecent photographs and that they are not displayed in the immediate vicinity of the premises or elsewhere suggesting that sexual entertainment takes place on the licensed premises. If flyers are used they should not be given to persons who look under 21 years of age and if immediately discarded by the public they should be picked up by person handing them out. ___________________________________________________________________ I am writing to make you aware that I object to the granting of a full time sex licence to the above premises. My objection is based on the location of such a venue. This area is next door to the public park which is used by families on a daily basis. It is also adjoining a residential area. In order to gain access to the High Street and the local shops and town centre one would be forced to walk past on a regular basis. This is not a pleasant prospect. During race week, the venue was turned into a lap dancing club and local residents were hassled by semi naked girls touting for business out side the building. Local residents had to skirt around men who were smoking outside the door not a pleasant experience. I truly believe such a venue will act as a deterrent for locals wanting to pop to the local corner shops e.g. Sainsbury’s. Thank you for considering my objections. ___________________________________________________________________ I object to the application for a licence for a lap dancing club on the Bath Road, Cheltenham. This is close to where I park to go shopping with my 12 yr old daughter and close to where we walk our dog in Sandford Park. My daughter enjoys walking in the area by herself however I would not permit this if the club opened. This would therefore infringe on her freedom and exercise. I would certainly not want to walk past the venue day or night. I would feel vulnerable. This would also damage the character of this part of town. Thank you for taking my views into consideration. ___________________________________________________________________ Please accept my objection to the above application on the grounds of being a parent of a 9 year old boy and 7 year old girl, who regularly uses the entrance to park on Bath Road with my children. This would mean walking straight passed the entrance to the proposed club and we use the local amenities that surround the proposed location of the licence too. Drunken stag parties and bouncers controlling drunks will be only some of the experiences I do not want my witness, if the licence goes ahead. I look forward to hearing from you soon. ___________________________________________________________________ I would like to lodge an objection to the Licence Application for the Diamond Gentlemans' Club at 12-14 Bath Road, GL53. Cheltenham has been my home town for the last 45 years. I frequently host and teach Japanese students who greatly contribute to our economy throughout the year. The Japanese travel agent I deal with has been bringing a variety of Japanese students to Cheltenham for as long as I can remember, which would be 45 years. I worry that such a business will threaten my work with the Japanese and could potentially stop them from using Cheltenham as a place for students to stay and learn. This would be disastrous for the good relations that have been built between the two locations over many years. And indeed the Japanese come from all over Japan. They cite wanting to come to Cheltenham as opposed to the other locations that the Japanese travel agent deals with; namely Australia, India, USA and Canada. Indeed the Japanese I deal with have often had relatives who have stayed in Cheltenham before and because of their experiences they want to come too. Is this the best advert for Cheltenham? I think not. I object to the location of this club. The proposed club is in close proximity to a park frequented by the elderly, families and young people, and people going to our hospital for whatever reason and whatever age and with whatever ailments. I indeed walk through there when I need to visit the General. It is also close to a theatre which attracts the public who are looking for a nice evening's entertainment of a cultural nature and who also runs groups and classes which is well attended. There is the Janet Marshall dance school, the Salvation Army Church St John's Primary School and the residential area and church of St Luke's, which do not deserve to have such a business nearby which will attract drunken buffoonery and sexually overcharged men. The sex club is a complete incongruence to these places and the area itself which does not have a poor reputation. People need to feel safe, welcome and definitely not threatened in this area which I fear would be the case if this went ahead. Cheltenham has so much to offer its inhabitants and visitors and we have a lot to be proud of and to shout about. Let's keep it that way and not jeopardise it. We are a thriving town. Currently I am a proud citizen and wish to remain that way. ___________________________________________________________________ My wife … and I both object to the proposed sex entertainment in Cheltenham and specifically the Bath Road proposal which we understand you are currently considering. The reporting in the Gloucestershire Echo today and earlier this week indicates the troubles for both the town and individuals that go along with this type of venture. It is associated with crime, illicit gain, additional police costs and a degrading image. The proposed venue will be too close to shopping, children's/family entertainment such as at the Playhouse and near by churches such as the Salvation Army and St Luke's. The image of Cheltenham is vital to its ongoing ability to attract the right kind of visitors and residents. Please decline this and any other similar applications. Thank you for dealing with this matter, ___________________________________________________________________ I object to the application for a licence for a Sexual Entertainment Venue (SEV) on the Bath Road, Cheltenham for the following reasons: I work in the area and often use the local shops and park nearby. The venue is adjacent to both. As a woman on my own - I would feel very vulnerable passing by the vicinity of a lap dancing club, whilst minding my own business. This would be an infringement of women and girl’ safety and freedom right in the centre of town. I would end up avoiding the area altogether. Many families with young children live in this area They will need to pass the venue to go to school, shops etc. Lots of shops targeted at children, for example, the Entertainer Toy Shop are at this end of town. It is important to retain the character of the area that contains a mix of residential and commercial premises including many lovely Victorian houses and a pleasant park. Children and adolescents use Sandford park which is right next to and behind the venue. A venue such as this is likely to attract anti-social behaviour and make the park a sinister, no-go area due to the clientele the venue is likely to attract. As a woman, I would feel too intimidated to pass through this area. I believe that due to the number of children and young people who pass by this area, it could put vulnerable teenagers at risk of being groomed or attacked. Myself and my family would not want to walk past this venue. I fear that if this club opens, the result would be less family footfall and a no-go area will be created where only seedy men and street prostitutes (albeit unrelated to the club, but present due to the clientele) will hang around in. This premises and the park behind it is on a direct route to Sandford Park lido and a popular play area and sports/recreational area. The lido is frequented by hundreds of children and teenagers over the summer months and the play/recreational area is used all year round. These children, young people and families should not have to endure the "gauntlet" of passing this establishment on their way to a leisure facility. I trust you will take my objection into consideration. I believe it would seriously damage the character and atmosphere of that area of Cheltenham if a licence was to be granted. ___________________________________________________________________ We live in … of Cheltenham and a neighbour has just informed us about the proposal for a Diamond Gentleman's Club at 12-14 Bath Road, which is intended to provide sexual entertainment. This location on Bath Road is about two minutes' walk around the corner from our home and we wish to object to this proposal as follows: (1) We were unaware of this project until about 24 hours ago, which suggests that it has not been properly advertised or communicated to the local population.

    STRATEGY, MISSION AND PEOPLE IN A RURAL DIOCESE A CRITICAL EXAMINATION OF THE DIOCESE OF GLOUCESTER 1863-1923 BRIAN KNIGHT A thesis submitted to the University of Gloucestershire in accordance with the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities August, 2002 11 Strategy, Mission and People in a Rural Diocese A critical examination of the Diocese of Gloucester 1863-1923 Abstract A study of the relationship between the people of Gloucestershire and the Church of England diocese of Gloucester under two bishops, Charles John Ellicott and Edgar Charles Sumner Gibson who presided over a mainly rural diocese, predominantly of small parishes with populations under 2,000. Drawing largely on reports and statistics from individual parishes, the study recalls an era in which the class structure was a dominant factor. The framework of the diocese, with its small villages, many of them presided over by a squire, helped to perpetuate a quasi-feudal system which made sharp distinctions between leaders and led. It is shown how for most of this period Church leaders deliberately chose to ally themselves with the power and influence of the wealthy and cultured levels of society and ostensibly to further their interests. The consequence was that they failed to understand and alienated a large proportion of the lower orders, who were effectively excluded from any involvement in the Church's affairs. Both bishops over-estimated the influence of the Church on the general population but with the twentieth century came the realisation that the working man and women of all classes had qualities which could be adapted to the Church's service and a wider lay involvement was strongly encouraged.

In 2018 we had a new parish structure and a new clergy team. In 2019, we came before God to seek a new vision for West Cheltenham. At the time we had no idea how prophetic this was, and how God was starting to prepare us for what was about to happen – turning our churches inside out. God gave us a vision: People and places buzzing with the extraordinary presence of Jesus. The restrictions and demands due to COVID–19 seem to have accelerated what God was already doing and where He is leading us. We have moved away from a model of church where we run meetings in our own buildings and try and get as many people as possible to attend, to one where we are looking to encourage and empower people to find and experience the Holy Spirit in their everyday lives and circumstances.

  • The List Below Contains the 903 Records Referred to in GS2161, Along with 11 Records from the Diocese in Europe
    Question 91 Revd Charlie Skrine (London) The list below contains the 903 records referred to in GS2161, along with 11 records from the Diocese in Europe. The list has been produced in response to Synod question 102 Skrine: “Thank you for publishing last year the names of the 680 churches with 25 or more under 16s, and for the excellent GS2161 for this Synod. Noting that the data in GS2161 is based upon an updated list of 903 parishes, would you please publish (on the website and the noticeboard) the names of those 903 parishes (perhaps alphabetically within each of the three different attendance bands as before)?” This list is based on the Statistics for Mission 2018 dataset; those interested in using the list are encouraged to read the published methodology, which can be found in the Statistics for Mission report (pp. 43-46): https://www.churchofengland.org/media/18763 GS2161 concentrates on the 2018 “Average Sunday attendance”, based on the 2018 October count; this includes attendance at Sunday church services and Sunday fresh expressions of Church. A somewhat longer list would result if attendance at midweek services and midweek fresh expressions of Church, which is also collected as part of Statistics for Mission, were included. A slightly different list would be generated if figures from different years were used, in part because of normal fluctuations in attendance. Most of these records relate to a single church, though some are joint records. Most of these records are figures as supplied by churches, though some are estimated (based on responses from those churches in previous years).

  • Engaging Communities Project Report Pittville
    CHELTENHAM BOROUGH COUNCIL ENGAGING COMMUNITIES PROJECT REPORT PART 2 – CHAPTER 6 PITTVILLE January 2017 Report compiled by GRCC, working in partnership with Pittville Neighbourhood Co-ordination Group CBC Engaging Communities Project Report GRCC January 2017 www.grcc.org.uk Part 2, Chapter 6 – Pittville Project funded by DCLG 1 Chapter 6: Pittville Report Context GRCC was commissioned by Cheltenham Borough Council in 2016 to support twelve communities in Cheltenham Borough to consider their aspirations and present these in order to inform the Cheltenham Plan, a planning strategy document being produced by Cheltenham Borough Council during 2016-2017. The Cheltenham Engaging Communities Project builds on previous partnership working between GRCC and Cheltenham Borough communities in 2014-2015 which resulted in evidence gathering and recommendations by communities for designation of Local Green Spaces across Cheltenham Borough. The findings from that Local Green Spaces Study were summarised in a report presented to Cheltenham Borough Council in 2015. The Cheltenham Engaging Communities Project Report is structured in 2 Parts: Part 1 of the report provides an overview across Cheltenham Borough, summarising each community’s approach and drawing out key messages. Part 2 of the report contains 12 separate chapters, each devoted to one community, tracking their approach to the task and drawing out their conclusions, aspirations and priorities. Each chapter contains Appendices which provide fuller detail of a profile produced by the community and outputs from engagement activities they have conducted as part of this project and relevant previous activity. This document forms Chapter 6 of Part 2 of the Cheltenham Engaging Communities Project Report and contains information about Pittville.

  • Civil Cemeteries and Burial Grounds Background by the 1850S, Churchyards Across the Country Were Becoming Full
    Civil Cemeteries and Burial Grounds Background By the 1850s, churchyards across the country were becoming full. This posed a serious health risk. The 1853 Burial Acts allowed the creation of public cemeteries. These new cemeteries were run by Burial Boards. A burial board was elected by the vestry of the parish. Sometimes several smaller parishes joined together to share a burial ground. In 1894 power was taken from the vestries and given to the new parish councils. In towns and cities, powers were given to the borough councils or urban district councils from 1934. As civil cemeteries replaced the churchyard some burials are still recorded in the parish register. If no registers for the civil cemetery survive, check the parish register (see our mini guide 4 “Parish registers”). What records are there and what information do they contain? As each burial ground kept their own records, they vary slightly. Some early records contain less detail than later ones. Some records described as registers are really just notebooks of the burial ground clerk. For cemeteries one or some of the following has survived: Registers of Burials These are a list of people buried in the cemetery. The entries are in date order and are not usually indexed by name. Most registers contain: Name, age and occupation of deceased Date of burial Name of minister Number of grave Some registers give the place and date of death Register of Graves These vary greatly in the detail they contain. Some are similar to burial registers but contain information about the purchase of the grave.
