  • (PPG) MEETING – 1430 on 3 SEP 19 Present
    4 Sep 19 THE ALNEY PRACTICE – PRACTICE PARTICIPATION GROUP (PPG) MEETING – 1430 ON 3 SEP 19 Present: Apologies Philip Tagg (PT) Practice Manager Katherine Holland (KH) Rachael Banfield (RB) Health Care Assistant CCG Jeremy Base (JB) Pamela Dewick (KD) Jennifer Taylor (JT) Geoffrey Gidley (GG) Megan Birchley (MB) Mark Weaver (MW) Ken Newman (KN) Nadia Schneider (NS) Carol Kurylat (CK) Taras Kurylat (TK) Denise Leach (DL) Nicky Milligan (NM) 1. PT welcomed attendees to the meeting and thanked them for expressing an interest in establishing a PPG. He explained the background to the former PPGs for the pre-merger practices: • Cheltenham Road Surgery’s PPG was made up of members of the ‘Friends of Cheltenham Road Surgery’, which was a registered charity with the principal aim of raising funds for the surgery, to be spent to the benefit of its patients. The Friends ceased to operate several years ago when several of the members became too old to continue and there were no volunteers willing to take on committee roles. Subsequent attempts to create a replacement PPG were unsuccessful. • College Yard and Highnam had a PPG, which ceased to be active around the time of the merger. 2. PPGs aim to be representative of the practice population and have a principal aim of meeting on regular basis to discuss the services on offer, and how improvements can be made for the benefit of patients and the practice. This initial meeting aimed to set the scene and agree a way ahead. PT also indicated that as a result of the practice merger we will be liable for a CQC inspection before the end of Mar 20, with the potential that they will wish to speak with the PPG at that time.

  • The Gloucestershire Urban Economic Strategy 2007-2015
    DRAFT Gloucestershire First 26 April 07 THE GLOUCESTERSHIRE URBAN ECONOMIC STRATEGY 2007-2015 INTRODUCTION 1. Urban Gloucestershire lies astride the M5 and is made up of Gloucester City, Cheltenham Borough and parts of the Borough of Tewkesbury and Stroud District. With a total population of 310,800 and forecast by 2026 to be at least 370,800 this is a significant urban conurbation particularly in regional terms, as evidenced by the identification of Gloucester and Cheltenham in the draft Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS) as two of the regionally Strategically Significant Cities and Towns (SSCTs)1. Within the Gloucestershire economy this urban area plays a vital role. Defining Urban Gloucestershire Urban Gloucestershire cannot be delineated precisely on a map without limiting some initiatives unnecessarily. In general it is those geographical areas of the Central Vale that have a concentration of people and businesses that by working together can complement one another and increase the economy of Gloucestershire. It therefore includes the whole of Gloucester City and Cheltenham Borough. It also will generally include, within Tewkesbury Borough, Tewkesbury Town and Ashchurch as well as the parishes of Brockworth, Hucclecote, Churchdown, Innsworth, Longford and embraces Gloucestershire Airport and Dowty/Smiths, although there are some aspects of these that are also 'rural' and will also be covered by the Gloucestershire Rural Economic Strategy. Similarly it will also generally include in Stroud District the settlements of Hardwicke and those others that comprise the defined Stroud Urban Area: Stonehouse, Stroud, Thrupp, North and South Woodchester and Nailsworth, although parts of these are also 'rural'. Economic and administrative boundaries are not identical.

  • In 1968. the Report Consists of the Following Parts: L the Northgate Turnpike Roads 2 Early Administration and the Turnpike Trust
    Reprinted from: Gloucestershire Society for Industrial Archaeology Journal for 1971 pages 1-58 [This edition was reprinted in 1987 by the Author in Hong Kong with corrections and revised pagination] THE NQRIH§AIE.IHBNBlKE N SPRY For more than one hundred and seventy years the road from the city of Gloucester to the top of Birdlip Hill, and the road which branched eastwards from it up Crickley Hill towards Oxford and later London, was maintained from the proceeds of the various turnpikes or toll gates along it. This report examines the history and administration of these roads from their earliest period to the demise of the Turnpike Trust in l87l and also details excavations across the road at Wotton undertaken in 1968. The report consists of the following Parts: l The Northgate Turnpike roads 2 Early administration and the Turnpike Trust 3 Tolls, exemptions and traffic 4 Road materials 5 Excavations at Wotton 1968 I Summary II The Excavations III Discussion References 1 IHE.NQBIH§AIE.BQADfi The road to Gloucester from Cirencester and the east is a section of the Roman road known as Ermine Street. The line of this road from Brockworth to Wotton has been considered to indicate a Severn crossing at Kingsholm one Km north of Gloucester, where, as late as the seventeenth century, a major branch of the river flowed slightly west of modern Kingsholm. The extent of early Roman archaeological material from Kingsholm makes it likely to have been a military site early in the Roman period. (l) Between Wotton Hill and Kingsholm this presumed line is lost; the road possibly passed through the grounds of Hillfield House and along the ridge, now marked by Denmark Road, towards the river.

  • Review of the BAE Systems Aviation Options Report for Filton Airfield
    South Gloucestershire Review of the BAE Systems Aviation Options Report for Filton Airfield December 2011 South Gloucestershire Council Filton Airfield Purpose 1. To report the conclusions of work undertaken in response to the Full Council Question No.3 dated 19th October 2011, in respect of Filton Airfield. Background 2. In April 2011 BAE Systems Ltd announced its decision to close Filton Airfield at the end of 2012. That decision has significant implications for the District and wider area including the programme for the Council’s emerging Core Strategy. 3. The Council has in the period since April 2011 undertaken widespread engagement to listen to the wide ranging views being expressed in response to the closure announcement and to better understand the issues which arise from BAE Systems Ltd decision to close the airfield. 4. The Council is committed to having its Core Strategy ‘examined’ by an independent Inspector at the earliest reasonable opportunity with view to adoption of the Core Strategy in the summer of 2012 if possible. The consequences of not having an adopted core strategy are far reaching. It is therefore very important that both the position in respect of Filton Airfield and more generally are resolved as quickly as possible. 5. In order to better understand the reasons advanced by BAE Systems Ltd for closing the Airfield, and to explain that decision as part of the engagement process, the Council invited the Company to prepare and publish an Aviation Options Report. This summarises the key information and aviation options considered and which led BAE Systems Ltd to conclude that the Airfield is not thought to be viable or needed.

  • 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).

  • Communications Roads Cheltenham Lies on Routes Connecting the Upper Severn Vale with the Cotswolds to the East and Midlands to the North
    DRAFT – VCH Gloucestershire 15 [Cheltenham] Communications Roads Cheltenham lies on routes connecting the upper Severn Vale with the Cotswolds to the east and Midlands to the north. Several major ancient routes passed nearby, including the Fosse Way, White Way and Salt Way, and the town was linked into this important network of roads by more local, minor routes. Cheltenham may have been joined to the Salt Way running from Droitwich to Lechlade1 by Saleweistrete,2 or by the old coach road to London, the Cheltenham end of which was known as Greenway Lane;3 the White Way running north from Cirencester passed through Sandford.4 The medieval settlement of Cheltenham was largely ranged along a single high street running south-east and north-west, with its church and manorial complex adjacent to the south, and burgage plots (some still traceable in modern boundaries) running back from both frontages.5 Documents produced in the course of administering the liberty of Cheltenham refer to the via regis, the king’s highway, which is likely to be a reference to this public road running through the liberty. 6 Other forms include ‘the royal way at Herstret’ and ‘the royal way in the way of Cheltenham’ (in via de Cheltenham). Infringements recorded upon the via regis included digging and ploughing, obstruction with timbers and dungheaps, the growth of trees and building of houses.7 The most important local roads were those running from Cheltenham to Gloucester, and Cheltenham to Winchcombe, where the liberty administrators were frequently engaged in defending their lords’ rights. Leland described the roads around Cheltenham, Gloucester and Tewkesbury as ‘subject to al sodeyne risings of Syverne, so that aftar reignes it is very foule to 1 W.S.
