The extent of the project area included, but was not confined to, the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). 2 The work follows on from previous revisions in the South East. The Chilterns survey was hosted by the Chilterns Conservation Board with support from the Chiltern Woodlands Project, Thames Valley Environmental Records Centre (TVERC) and Surrey Biodiversity Information Centre (SBIC). The work was funded by Buckinghamshire County Council, Chilterns Conservation Board, Chiltern District Council, Dacorum Borough Council, Forestry Commission, Hertfordshire County Council, Natural England and Wycombe District Council. Map 1: Project aims The Survey Area, showing Local Authority areas covered and the Chilterns AONB The primary aim of the County Boundaries survey was to revise and Chilterns AONB update the Ancient Entire Districts Woodland Inventory and Chiltern District

    Town and Parish Councils in Aylesbury, Chiltern, South Bucks and Wycombe District Council Areas

    Town and Parish Councils in Aylesbury, Chiltern, South Bucks and Wycombe District Council areas. Dear Town or Parish Council, Creation of Parish Charter You will no doubt be aware that contrary to published expectations there was no announcement from DCLG about a reorganisation of local government in Buckinghamshire in March. We have now been informed that, in the light of the General Election, the current government will make no decision in relation to the unitary question. There will need to be a formal consideration of the submissions that have been made by the new government. Whilst we are disappointed that this Government has not yet announced support for our proposals, we remain confident that a new Government will recognise the merits of the District Council proposal and create two new unitaries in Buckinghamshire. In the meantime you will be aware that the County Council has launched an online survey for anyone to indicate their views and express support for their preferred unitary option. Obviously we welcome your support in completing the survey in favour of two unitaries and the District proposal but recognise that surveys are not everyone’s cup of tea and it is very much up to you. The link is below if you would like to do so. http://futurebucks.co.uk/yourviews/ In the meantime we are keen to ensure that we do not lose momentum in taking forward some of the ideas in our proposals which we feel do not require a decision from government. In particular we suggested that a Town and Parish Charter would enable us to develop an understanding with parishes about how we want to work together moving forward.

We will of course continue to support our residents during the global pandemic and reduce the risk of spreading the coronavirus. Despite, the difficulties this year, the Housing Directorate has continued to deliver against their objectives of delivering more new homes, providing great customer services and improving our existing homes and neighbourhoods. I hope you enjoy reading about the great things that have been achieved in this edition. The future of Local Government still remains subject to change and I wrote to you in November to make you aware of those changes. You may wish to look through the “Stronger Somerset” (www. strongersomerset.co.uk) and “One Council” (www.onesomerset.org.uk) information to familiarise yourself with the current situation.

    Inequalities in Britain, Sociology Review, 21, 1, 15-19

    Dorling, D. and Thomas, B. (2011) Mapping Inequalities in Britain, Sociology Review, 21, 1, 15-19. Inequalities in Britain Danny Dorling and Bethan Thomas This paper draws on three of the key topics we discuss in our new atlas, Bankrupt Britain: An atlas of social change (Dorling and Thomas 2011). 1. Public sector cuts: local and national implications In June 2010 the Department for Communities and Local Government published what is likely to become one of the most infamous documents of the economic recession, titled Local government contribution to efficiencies in 2010/11 (DCLG 2010). This document set out what many have argued are some of the most unfairly distributed cuts ever to be imposed on local government in England. The poor and the poorest areas of the country appeared to have been targeted to receive the deepest and most sustained cuts. This mirrored the effects of the national budget of that month that was also found, on examination by the Institute for Fiscal Studies (2010), to be highly regressive (taking more from the poor as a proportion of their income than from the rich). It may well not have been a coincidence that almost all of the areas to suffer the greatest service cuts contained a large majority of people who had voted against the two parties that had come to form the new coalition government. Map 1 shows where the main cuts will, from April 2011, hit most, least, and not at all. These are the first relatively modest local government cuts, of 'just' £6 billion. However, not a penny of that £6 billion is to be saved by the citizens of generally well-heeled districts such as Chiltern, South Bucks, most of Devon, Christchurch, most of Dorset, Cheltenham, the Cotswolds, Winchester, Broxbourne, most of Hertfordshire, Tunbridge Wells, Harrogate, most of Oxfordshire (but not Oxford), all of Surrey, the Malvern Hills and another hundred or so generally 'leafy' and mostly 'Tory' or 'Liberal Democrat' areas.
  • Somerset Geology-A Good Rock Guide

    Somerset Geology-A Good Rock Guide

    SOMERSET GEOLOGY-A GOOD ROCK GUIDE Hugh Prudden The great unconformity figured by De la Beche WELCOME TO SOMERSET Welcome to green fields, wild flower meadows, farm cider, Cheddar cheese, picturesque villages, wild moorland, peat moors, a spectacular coastline, quiet country lanes…… To which we can add a wealth of geological features. The gorge and caves at Cheddar are well-known. Further east near Frome there are Silurian volcanics, Carboniferous Limestone outcrops, Variscan thrust tectonics, Permo-Triassic conglomerates, sediment-filled fissures, a classic unconformity, Jurassic clays and limestones, Cretaceous Greensand and Chalk topped with Tertiary remnants including sarsen stones-a veritable geological park! Elsewhere in Mendip are reminders of coal and lead mining both in the field and museums. Today the Mendips are a major source of aggregates. The Mesozoic formations curve in an arc through southwest and southeast Somerset creating vales and escarpments that define the landscape and clearly have influenced the patterns of soils, land use and settlement as at Porlock. The church building stones mark the outcrops. Wilder country can be found in the Quantocks, Brendon Hills and Exmoor which are underlain by rocks of Devonian age and within which lie sunken blocks (half-grabens) containing Permo-Triassic sediments. The coastline contains exposures of Devonian sediments and tectonics west of Minehead adjoining the classic exposures of Mesozoic sediments and structural features which extend eastward to the Parrett estuary. The predominance of wave energy from the west and the large tidal range of the Bristol Channel has resulted in rapid cliff erosion and longshore drift to the east where there is a full suite of accretionary landforms: sandy beaches, storm ridges, salt marsh, and sand dunes popular with summer visitors.
