During the years, Ps and Qs has run major exhibitions on matters such as waste management, planning and climate change. It publishes four series of monthly articles in the village magazine (Green Tips, Going Wild in Purton, Planning Alert! and Cool Communities). Periodically, there is a Good News slot at the end of the articles to highlight good things that are happening. It is important to be able to react quickly these days to get information out and so Ps and Qs operates an electronic network (Village Alert!) that keeps villagers up to date with village and parish matters. It also runs surveys and polls on issues of interest to the parish, to help make informed decisions on critical issues. Occasionally, it sets up on-line petitions on really critical issues that have profound consequences for the parish as a whole e.g. the potential Ridgeway Farm development ~ more than 600 persons voted and left comments which were forwarded to the planning authority, and these were referred to by the Planning Inspector during the recent appeal. Ps and Qs has been at the heart of community planning, for the best part of twenty years and jointly began the Village Design Statement/Parish Plan with the parish council some ten years ago (long before community planning became mainstream). It has a long history of mature and informed reflection of how communities are shaped, what works and what does not. Bringing all of its work together, Ps and Qs has a flagship programme (Transform Purton Parish) which is looking at food, water, waste, work, energy and many other issues across the parish. Because it recognises that the key to future resilience (Appendix 1 for a fuller explanation of resilience) is the parish land space Ps and Qs began a neighbourhood planning dialogue via the Purton Magazine, and also via the Local Day1. Ps and Qs began Transform Purton Parish in 2009 and received the nominal support of the Wiltshire Council and the Purton Parish Council. For three years it has been gathering information on a range of issues and this report is an accumulation, to date, of that effort. Ps and Qs stands for Purton’s Qualities and is about enhancing the resilience of the parish for the longer term. FOR CLARIFICATION This is not the Purton Parish Plan or the Neighbourhood Plan. Although it has elements of similarity (and could inform both) it is more about longer term issues that may not be addressed by either of the other two shorter-term plans. Whilst both the Parish and Neighbourhood plans will likely be occasionally updated, unless there is a bigger vision and a way to progress towards that, the situation as it exists now will continue; a piecemeal approach which never seems to tackle the big (and very difficult) issues. Tinkering at the edges with short-term solutions does not suffice and simply allows the big issues to continue, and to become increasingly insurmountable. The evidence for this is that the key issues that pop up in every survey (see the latest Parish Plan survey results for instance) are precisely the same as those that have plagued the parish for at least twenty years. This report is an attempt to demonstrate how to tackle these issues and not ignore them. Contact: Dr Richard Pagett [email protected] 1 An event funded by Ps and Qs to showcase village businesses and organisations in order to encourage more local use of producers and suppliers. 3 | P a g e EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Parish issues concerning water, food, energy, waste, heath, education, safety, housing transport, economy, recreation, connectivity, and democracy are evaluated and discussed. Pointers are provided for the parish plan and the neighbourhood plan. It is often remarked that there is some resistance to those who are not born in the parish by those who are. It is also said how welcoming the parish is. Some bemoan change and that the place is not like it just to be. With UK population at an all-time high of 60 million and predictions to add a further 10 million during the next 40 years or so, it is inevitable, for good or bad, that the parish will continue to change. The future lies in all our hands; of those who were born here

  • The Iron Age Tom Moore

    The Iron Age Tom Moore

    The Iron Age Tom Moore INTRODUCfiON In the twenty years since Alan Saville's (1984) review of the Iron Age in Gloucestershire much has happened in Iron-Age archaeology, both in the region and beyond.1 Saville's paper marked an important point in Iron-Age studies in Gloucestershire and was matched by an increasing level of research both regionally and nationally. The mid 1980s saw a number of discussions of the Iron Age in the county, including those by Cunliffe (1984b) and Darvill (1987), whilst reviews were conducted for Avon (Burrow 1987) and Somerset (Cunliffe 1982). At the same time significant advances and developments in British Iron-Age studies as a whole had a direct impact on how the period was viewed in the region. Richard Hingley's (1984) examination of the Iron-Age landscapes of Oxfordshire suggested a division between more integrated unenclosed communities in the Upper Thames Valley and isolated enclosure communities on the Cotswold uplands, arguing for very different social systems in the two areas. In contrast, Barry Cunliffe' s model ( 1984a; 1991 ), based on his work at Danebury, Hampshire, suggested a hierarchical Iron-Age society centred on hillforts directly influencing how hillforts and social organisation in the Cotswolds have been understood (Darvill1987; Saville 1984). Together these studies have set the agenda for how the 1st millennium BC in the region is regarded and their influence can be felt in more recent syntheses (e.g. Clarke 1993). Since 1984, however, our perception of Iron-Age societies has been radically altered. In particular, the role of hillforts as central places at the top of a hierarchical settlement pattern has been substantially challenged (Hill 1996).

    Swindon & District Directory Extract 1928 Purton

    Swindon & District Directory Extract 1928 Purton PURTON is a large village, with a station on the Gloucester branch of the G.W.R., is 4 miles from Cricklade, 4 from Wootton Bassett, and 6 from Swindon, and is in the Chippenham Division of Wilts, Union and Petty Sessional Division of Cricklade and Wootton Bassett, County Court District of Swindon, and Diocese of Bristol. The Church dedicated to St. Mary, is an ancient structure with modern additions, and was once a chantry to Malmesbury Abbey. Its register dates from 1558. One notable feature in the building is the existence of a tower at the west end, and a lofty spire rising from the intersection of the nave and chancel. Only two other churches of this kind exist in the country – at Wanborough, Wilts, and Ormskirk, Lancashire. The living is a vicarage of the annual value of £455, in the gift of the Earl of Shaftesbury. The excellent Parochial Schools are a standing memorial of the zeal and interest shown by the late Rev. D. O. Coates, to whose energy their success is largely due. In the central part of the village stands a handsome building erected by Mr. and Mrs. James Sadler, of Lydiard House, as a memorial to the deceased sister of Mrs. Sadler, for the purpose of a coffee tavern and reading room. Mr. Sadler has presented the institution to the parishioners, the trustees being the Parish Council. Mr. Sadler, who is the President of the Purton Cricket Club, generously purchased the Cricket Field from Miss Russell in 1911, and presented it to the parish.

    1 | Page 1. My Name Is Richard Pagett, I Hold Two Science Degrees and Am

    Land at Widham Farm, Purton Evidence provided by Dr Richard Pagett, Huntersbrook House, Hoggs Lane, Purton, Wiltshire SN5 4HQ 1. My name is Richard Pagett, I hold two science degrees and am a Chartered Biologist, a Chartered Water and Environmental Manager, a Chartered Environmentalist and a Chartered Scientist. I have been a resident of Purton since 1986 and I live in Hoggs Lane and so am not directly affected by the proposed development. I am a former chairman of the Purton parish council and retired from leading the Purton Sustainability Group, Ps and Qs earlier this year, after nearly twenty years. 2. I appreciate the need to avoid repetition where possible and, in the interests of brevity, I will restrict my observations mainly to those commenting on the 253 pages of Mr Harris’ proof of evidence, particularly those parts referred to as Propositions 1 – 6. In general, I will also adopt Mr Harris’ text headings to assist orientation between his proof and my commentary. Growth of Purton 3. The Proof considers that additional growth at Purton can assist in achieving the fourth bullet point of paragraph 28 of the National Policy Planning Framework (the Framework) which is to “promote the retention and development of local services and community facilities in villages, such as local shops, meeting places, sports venues, cultural buildings, public houses and places of worship”. Of course, this is not an argument for housing at Widham itself, merely for housing and so could apply equally in almost any rural village. This is critical to understand because it is widely recognised that some housing in Purton to meet Purton’s need may be desirable.
