Agenda Item 6.I Cheltenham Spa Railway Station
Agenda Item 6 GFirst Local Enterprise Partnership Board Paper – 11th Sept 2018 Agenda Item Cheltenham Spa Railway Station – Change Request (Title) Paper Author & Neil Hopwood, contact details [email protected] 07765 863807 Supporting Papers Original Board Paper, submitted 12th Dec 2017 Assessment Report v3 (final), dated 14-11-17 General Arrangement Drawing for forecourt & car park area Confidentiality Public Purpose 1. To inform the Board of proposed changes relative to the originally approved scheme. 2. To request a decision from the board to select one of 2 proposed options. Summary Background In Dec 2017 the board approved £1.497m of Local Growth funds to support an improvement project at Cheltenham Spa Railway Station. To date we have been unable to finalise a funding agreement with GWR due to challenges with agreeing certain terms (in relation to the unique way that assets are ‘owned’ under the franchise arrangements and a lack of sufficient detail until recently on the detail of the scheme and associated costs). The scheme in total was presented as 4 main elements funded from a number of sources - improvements to the station forecourt to improve pedestrian safety and vehicle movements and enhance the public realm an increase of at least 70 car parking spaces by the installation of a single decked car-park DDA compliant lifts to both platforms to provide full accessibility to the station Enhanced provision for cyclist users of the station, including a minimum of 300 secure cycle storage spaces and a shared cycle/pedestrian access ramp from Landsdown Road into the station Page 1 of 3 Agenda Item 6 The enhanced cyclist user provision was to be funded from a funding award of £833k from the DfT Cycle Rail fund which GWR had bid for and won in order to enhance the total scheme. -

Prices shown correct at the time of writing. • Richard Hoiles • John Hunt Top racing commentators provide their on-course insight. • Ten year trends The telling stats from Paul O’Hara • Exclusive horses to follow Direct from a variety of Lambourn trainers The going is expected to be Good to Soft with dry, mild weather over the four days. Tuesday 16th 1.20 Supreme Novices' Hurdle (Grade 1) 4yo+ 2m½f SLH: Metier, Soaring Eagle and at big odds Grumpy Charlie are the pick of the British trained horses. Metier was a decent performer on the flat in Ireland and has progressed from race to race over hurdles since moving to Harry Fry. He is a strong stayer who performs well on soft ground. It is taken as fact that the course will be prepared to ride no firmer than Good to Soft on the opening day. Soaring Glory showed marked improvement when impressively winning the Betfair Hurdle at Newbury. He appears to be less dependent on ground conditions than Metier and looks sure to figure. On soft ground Grumpy Charlie could run better than his odds suggest if allowed to take his chance. Despite not being totally straightforward, he is improving with racing experience. DMC: At the start of the season, it looked like Appreciate It was going to be Willie Mullins’ Ballymore Hurdle horse, and that Ferny Hollow was going to be his Supreme Novices’ Hurdle horse. -

Cheltenham Festival Guide 2021 Daniel Watkins
Cheltenham Festival Guide 2021 Daniel Watkins www.lapoftheodds.com Cheltenham Festival Guide 2021 Introduction The annual quest for winners sees me routinely holed up in a back bedroom, hunched over a keyboard and monitor for interminable weeks on end, hardly seeing a soul and rarely out of my pyjamas. What was a nerdy niche is now pretty much the working mainstream. Welcome to my world, one and all… With such trying external circumstances, and so little to look forward to in the short term, it seems that the pull of the Cheltenham Festival has grown exponentially greater again this year. This humble guide started for a few friends in 2004 and is now in edition number 18. If you are looking for views and predictions, they are now myriad over social media. There are some very insightful nuggets amongst the deafening cacophony of “this can’t be beaten” over-confidence. It is great to see such interest stimulated, and whilst hearing many views has the dangers of being dragged towards consensus (and there’s rarely profit there), it also helps temper the unfounded runaway confidence that can come from being in too much of a bubble. Thanks as always to the long-suffering Tanya, whose annual support for my selfish Springtime obsession is only partly offset by the knowledge that she is my obsession throughout the year. No-one should have had to witness the petulant tantrums when the Novice handicap chase was dropped for the mares chase, and I can only plead forgiveness!! Please stay in touch by subscribing, following or liking my blog, Lap of The Odds (www.lapoftheodds.com), and watch for daily articles during festival week, where non-runners and weather may result in some changes to selections. -
