November 2020 Cheltenham LHS For CONTENTS please see page 21 REVISED LECTURE PROGRAMME 2020-21 When we learned that severe restrictions would apply henceforth at St Luke’s Hall, and that the Borough Council was accepting no more bookings for the Council Chamber, we realised that our talks would have to go online. We are grateful that our lecturers are willing to adapt, and only sorry that not all mem- bers can participate. We have already delivered two lectures by Zoom. Those listed below will take us through until March, by which time - dare we hope? - there may be a prospect of meeting face to face once again.

Economic Activity Draft 1.0
VCH Glos Cheltenham post-1945 – Economic Activity Draft 1.0 Economic Activity Jan Broadway In the immediate post-war period the economic strategy of Gloucestershire County Council was guided by the aims of safeguarding the aircraft industry workforce and encouraging the provision of jobs in the smaller towns and the Forest of Dean. There was consequently little provision for industrial development in Cheltenham, where the arrival of GCHQ, UCCA and Eagle Star increased the proportion of white-collar employment. There was also an emphasis on the town's development as a retail and tourism hub. At the end of the 20th century 28% of the town's economic output derived from the financial and business sectors, 20% from public administration, 18% from manufacturing, and 20% from distribution, hotels and catering. Its particular strengths were in tourism, shopping, education, construction and manufacturing.1 Manufacturing In 1946 a report by the county's former chief planning officer foresaw Cheltenham's future development as 'an industrial centre of no small importance'.2 However, as a result of its failure to acquire county borough status3, Cheltenham was obliged to follow the G.C.C. moratorium on new industrial development within the town.4 A 1947 survey of small, local firms found a majority in favour of moving to purpose-built, out-of-town facilities5, which of necessity would predominantly be built beyond the borough boundaries. In response to this the council purchased land across the borough border at the Runnings, Swindon for factory development.6

CTP Phase 4 Original Etros - Formal Representations with Personal Data Redacted
CTP Phase 4 Original ETROs - Formal Representations with personal data redacted Enquiry Reference Date Enquiry Detail Number 1 29/06/2018 St Pauls Road I wish to see evidence that the council has undertaken formal risk assessments with regard to the effects of displacement of traffic into surrounding streets on road and public safety. 2 29/06/2018 Hales Road Closing the Boots Corner scheme for general traffic is a very bad decision. Traffic will now spread to residential areas and the fumes from Diesel as well as Petrol will now invade residential areas to the detrimental health of all residents, especially children and older people!! The Cheltenham Borough Council has NOT listened to the residents of Cheltenham which is a disgrace and it is surprising that the County Council has agreed to execute this scheme! This will certainly have repercussions in the Ballot Box at future Elections !! Shame on both the County Council and Cheltenham Borough Council, especially Cheltenham Borough Council !!! 3 29/06/2018 Battledown Approach A terrible plan, with no thought for alternative routes. Going to create more pollution due to traffic and drive people out of town. The dying town centre will truly be dead. What a waste of money! Do any tax payers want this? 4 03/07/2018 Bishop's Cleeve Totally agree with scheme except being able to not drive through town because of existing restrictions- not sure routes are viable without causing chaos. You need to create a clear run and by stopping Clarence street you have pushed traffic to side streets.

A Critical Discourse Analysis of Media and Residents. Bernice Thomson A
Council Estate Discourses: a critical discourse analysis of media and residents. Bernice Thomson A thesis submitted to the University of Gloucestershire in accordance with the requirements of the degree of PhD in the school of Narural and Social Sciences December 2018 ABSTRACT The history of council estates, in England, to date spans 100 years. Over this period the societal attitude relating to housing tenure has changed to one which regards home ownership as the norm. Council housing, or social housing as it is now known, once seen as for the respectable working class, has become the place where people with the most social need are housed. This in turn has altered opinions about the residents living on the estates. This thesis, using Critical Discourse Analysis as a methodology, traces the history of working class housing and the political policies that have informed the way it has developed. In addition, collection of discourses, through research and through interviews with people who now live on council estates, has enabled a representation of how people living on the council estates are viewed. Cheltenham in Gloucestershire has been used as a case study area for the purposes of the research and has been compared with the national situation. The harsh reality of the housing crisis existing at the time of completion of this thesis (2018) and the views of current politicians, both local and national, along with the results of this research has informed a summary of the future of how working class housing might progress. DECLARATION I Bernice Thomson hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own.

Horse-Racing Hunting Cricket
DRAFT – VCH Gloucestershire 15 [Cheltenham] Sport Horse-racing Formal horse-racing began on Cleeve Hill outside Cheltenham in 18181 and the first Cheltenham Gold Cup was run as a flat race the following year.2 In 1826 the races were described as generally taking place in July and lasting three days.3 In 1831 a new course was established at Prestbury Park and the Cheltenham Races in July attracted a large crowd of spectators.4 The Cheltenham Racecourse Company bought Prestbury Park in 1902, outside the borough limits within the parish of Prestbury.5 The Cheltenham Steeplechase Club was formed in 1907.6 A grandstand and club-house were built in 1908 and a race-course station was opened in 1912 on the main railway line. The course has been described as the finest steeplechase course in the world and since 1924 the race for the Cheltenham Gold Cup has been held there over jumps.7 In the late 1960s the Steeplechase Club provided two or three days’ racing each month between October and April, in addition to the National Hunt meeting in March.8 The railway line closed to passenger trains in 1968, but Gold Cup excursion trains continued to run until the line was closed completely in 1976.9 In 1988 the National Hunt Festival in March brought 25,000 visitors to Cheltenham.10 In 2001 the Gold Cup was not run for the first time since 1944, because of the Foot and Mouth epidemic.11 In 2012 60,000 people attended the Gold Cup.12 Hunting The Berkeley Hunt had established kennels in Cheltenham by 1815.13 In the 1820s the Berkeley Hounds hunted in the vicinity of Cheltenham in November, January, March and part of April.
