  • West Berkshire
    West Berkshire Personal Details: Name: Dominic Boeck E-mail: Postcode: Organisation Name: Comment text: Local Government Boundary Commission for England proposals for West Berkshire Council Proposed Burghfield & Mortimer Ward Introduction I am responding in my capacity as ward member for Aldermaston at West Berkshire Council to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England draft recommendations for new ward boundaries across West Berkshire. LGBCE Draft Recommendations I am content with the proposal that the number of members elected to West Berkshire Council is reduced from 52 to 43. I consider though that the creation of three member wards, especially in the rural parts of the district, will diminish the effectiveness of representation presently enjoyed by residents and will not meet LGBCE’s expectations that a good pattern of wards will reflect community interests and identities and is based on strong, easily identifiable boundaries . The proposed pattern, especially in areas covered by such vast wards as the proposed Aldermaston and Bucklebury where it will be extremely difficult for members to be familiar with the unique local aspects and challenges across so many parishes, will not help the council deliver effective and convenient local government. Neither will the creation of large wards which combine substantial areas and population in both rural and suburban communities, such as Thatcham Central and Crookham and as Greenham which will bring its northern-most boundary into the heart of Newbury. Consultation response WBCA asks that LGBCE reconsiders its draft recommendations to make changes to the following wards, as suggested: • Aldermaston and Bucklebury • Hungerford and Kintbury • Basildon and Compton • Wash Common, Newbury Central and Greenham • Thatcham Central and Crookham • Purley and Tilehurst At the moment, Aldermaston ward consists of 5 parishes, three of which have monthly meetings, one has meetings every two months and one has two meetings a year.

  • Roman Berkshire Jill Greenaway November 2006
    1 Solent- Thames Research Framework Roman Berkshire Jill Greenaway November 2006 In the Roman period, the area that is now Berkshire was part of the civitas of the Atrebates whose administrative centre lay at Calleva, the Roman town near Silchester in Hampshire. This civitas was a Roman creation. The modern county boundary between Berkshire and Hampshire kinks around the Silchester area and it would be interesting to investigate whether this preserves an ancient land boundary. Roman Berkshire is therefore part of an entity that includes Hampshire, which lies within the Solent-Thames study area, but also east Wiltshire and west Surrey which lie outside it. Berkshire in the Roman period cannot be fully understood without reference to the whole of the civitas, particularly when looking at hierarchical settlement patterns. Most of the Roman small towns, for example Mildenhall (Cunetio), Wanborough (Durocornovium), Dorchester and Staines (Pontes), are outside the modern county boundary but must have influenced the area that is now Berkshire. Today the area is a mix of urban and rural settlements and many sites have been damaged both through urban development and intensive farming. Clay pits, gravel pits and road building have added to the destruction of the historic environment the pace of which has increased during the last fifty years. Recording of the sites so destroyed was somewhat piecemeal until the advent of PPG16 and developer funded archaeology but even with a more planned approach to investigation and recording, the resulting distribution has reflected areas of development and to some extent has followed the pattern of previously known sites.
