  • Stroud Labour Party
    Gloucestershire County Council single member ward review Response from Stroud Constituency Labour Party Introduction On 30 November the Local Government Boundary Commission started its second period of consultation for a pattern of divisions for Gloucestershire. Between 30 November and 21 February the Commission is inviting comments on the division boundaries for GCC. Following the completion of its initial consultation, the Commission has proposed that the number of county councillors should be reduced from 63 to 53. The districts have provided the estimated numbers for the electorate in their areas in 2016; the total number for the county is 490,674 so that the average electorate per councillor would be 9258 (cf. 7431 in 2010). The main purpose of this note is to draw attention to the constraints imposed on proposals for a new pattern of divisions in Stroud district, which could lead to anomalies, particularly in ‘bolting together’ dissimilar district wards and parishes in order to meet purely numerical constraints. In it own words ‘the Commission aims to recommend a pattern of divisions that achieves good electoral equality, reflects community identities and interests and provides for effective and convenient local government. It will also seek to use strong, easily-identifiable boundaries. ‘Proposals should demonstrate how any pattern of divisions aids the provision of effective and convenient local government and why any deterioration in equality of representation or community identity should be accepted. Representations that are supported by evidence and argument will carry more weight with the Commission than those which merely assert a point of view.’ While a new pattern of ten county council divisions is suggested in this note, it is not regarded as definitive but does contain ways of avoiding some possible major anomalies.

  • River Wye SSSI Restoration Technical Report Finaldraftforconsultation
    River Wye SSSI Restoration Technical Report –Draft for Comment Issued for comment January 2015 River Wye SSSI Restoration Technical Report_FinalDraftForConsultation Executive summary Jacobs was commissioned by the Environment Agency to produce separate Technical Reports for the restoration of the Lower Wye and River Lugg. In addition, Management Reports to complement each Technical Report were also produced by Jacobs. This is a Technical Report on the geomorphological assessment of the Lower Wye. The Lower River Wye and is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and a Special Area of Conservation (SAC). The river is designated due to the presence of grayling, freshwater pearl mussel, white-clawed crayfish, shad, otter, salmon, bullhead, lamprey, various invertebrate assemblages and water-crowfoot communities. The Upper and Middle Wye are also designated, however those reaches lie within Wales and were not investigated for this Technical Report. Reports for the Upper and Middle Wye will be produced separately by Natural Resources Wales (NRW). A combination of all reports will provide a catchment wide restoration strategy for all the SACs and SSSIs in the River Wye catchment. The Lower Wye mainly flows through England; however there is a section around Monmouth that is entirely within Wales. Here the right bank of the river is generally regulated by NRW, whilst the left bank is regulated by Natural England and the Environment Agency. Natural England has subdivided the Lower Wye SSSI into seven management units, six of which are assessed to be in ‘unfavourable condition’. This report is required to assess the current geomorphological condition and pressures on the Lower Wye to inform a Management Report that will provide suggestions to help achieve favourable condition in each of the management units.
