Southampton, Totton and Waterside Group Walks Programme and Newsletter 1st November 2015 – 29th February 2016 Website – http://southamptonramblers.org.uk Contact – [email protected] We offer friendly welcoming company on our guided walks. Our walks cater for all abilities and range from shorter walks on Thursdays, Saturdays, Sundays and summer evenings to all-day Sundays walks. Post Codes - Start and meeting points include nearest postcode and an Ordnance Survey grid reference accurate to 100m. Use postcodes with care: in rural areas the nearest postcode may be some distance from the actual start point. Walk Grades Leisurely - walks for reasonably fit people with at least a little country walking experience. May include unsurfaced rural paths. Walking boots and warm, waterproof clothing are recommended. Moderate - walks for people with country walking experience and a good level of fitness. May include some steep paths and open country, and may be at a brisk pace. Walking boots and warm, waterproof clothing are essential. Walk gradings are provided as a general guide only. If you have any doubt about your fitness for a particular walk please contact the organiser or leader in advance. Bear in mind the distance of the walk, regional differences in terrain and the possibility of bad weather, which can make a walk more difficult than planned. If you're unsure of your fitness level, try a short and easy walk first - it's much better to find a walk a little too slow and easy than to make yourself miserable and exhausted. Leaders may refuse to accept participants who in their opinion are inadequately equipped or unfit. Not already a member: then why not join today at http://www.ramblers.org.uk.

  • OBPC Green Belt Submission

    OBPC Green Belt Submission

    Oliver’s Battery Parish Council WCC Local Plan Review August 2020 - A Green Belt for South Hampshire - submission to WCC Introduction Oliver’s Battery Parish Council (OBPC) supports the notion of a Green Belt for South Hampshire, including Oliver’s Battery and South Winchester Golf Club and land further south to the east of the A3090 (Romsey Road). The arguments presented by Hampshire CPRE in their document ‘Planning for a South Hampshire Green Belt’ (September 2019) and in the NEF Consulting Report ‘Introducing a South Hampshire Green Belt - Exploring the socioeconomic and environmental value’ (June 2020) provide a powerful case for greater protection of open green spaces. It is understood that City of Winchester Trust also support the idea of a ‘Green Belt’ around Winchester, with specific concerns mentioned about the SW quadrant. Current Local Plan polices are often not effective in protecting our countryside and green spaces. The up-coming Winchester City Council Local Plan Review affords a perfect opportunity to strategically protect the countryside. This paper concerns itself with the importance of a new green belt to the south west of Winchester in the development of the new Winchester District Local Plan. 1. Local Context - Oliver’s Battery 1.1 The civil parish of Oliver’s Battery is encircled to the east, south and west by open green spaces. The altitude of the settlement affords long distance, panoramic views over the surrounding countryside. The quality of the landscape surrounding Oliver’s Battery contributes overwhelmingly to the character and setting of the settlement itself. 1.2 The community in Oliver’s Battery places a high value on the setting of the settlement in relation to quality of life.

  • Boundaries for the Winchester and Test Valley Parliamentary Constituencies

    Boundaries for the Winchester and Test Valley Parliamentary Constituencies

    Hursley Parish Council C/O 31b Main Road Hursley Hampshire SO21 2JW Dear Sir/Madam, South East Region Initial Proposals: Boundaries for the Winchester and Test Valley Parliamentary Constituencies The South-East Region Initial Proposals for the Parliamentary Constituencies propose that the Parish of Hursley will no longer be located within the Parliamentary constituency of Winchester. At their meeting held on Monday 12th November 2016 the Parish Council agreed to object to the Boundary Commission proposal and request that the Parish of Hursley remains within the Winchester Constituency. The Parish of Hursley includes the hamlet of Pitt and both are geographically close to the City of Winchester and have long standing community ties with the City. Consequently, the Parish Council on behalf of the residents of Hursley would prefer to remain within the constituency of Winchester, ideally, together with our neighbouring parishes of Otterbourne, Compton and Shawford. We respectfully request that you reconsider this aspect of your proposals based on the evidence of the close community ties with our neighbouring parishes and with the Winchester City and wider District. We do not have similar close community links with Romsey and the Test Valley. Geography Our Parish borders the City of Winchester. Some of our residents, for example live on Sarum Road situated close to the heart of the city. With the proposed changes their next-door neighbours would be allocated to a Winchester City Ward and Winchester MP whilst they would be served by a Romsey MP based 17 miles away. We share many common issues with central Winchester being located on the main traffic route into Winchester via the A3090, local housing development, secondary schools, GP surgeries, the County Hospital, Winchester railway station and bus service.

The resident also noted that the Covid-19 traffic schemes in the centre of Winchester are causing significant problems of congestion with particular concerns for emergency vehicles, and he was interested to understand the plans for the green bag replacement. Cllr K Learney reported that the traffic measures on Jewry Street have been shortened which have improved the queues, and the traffic light phasing on Hyde Abbey Rd is going to be investigated which should also help. The green bag replacements will occur in the Spring and leaflets will be distributed with the new bin calendars in the next month. Action: Cllr S Burgess to arrange an on-site meeting to follow up on a resident's concerns about local roads. 20-036: City Councillors’ Report – City Cllr S Godfrey City Cllr S Godfrey commended Cllr P Cunningham for his work as the Winchester mayor; that despite the Covid-19 restrictions he has still been able to raise important issues and support local causes.
