    www.btc.ac.uk BRIDGWATER CAMPUS & CANNINGTON CAMPUS TRAVELLING BY BUS TO COLLEGE INFORMATION & TIMETABLES From August 2018 TRAVELLING BY BUS TO COLLEGE Most buses providing routes to the College are public service buses. As such timetables and rules of carriage for public transport apply at all times. In addition to students from the College, fare paying members of the public will use the same buses. Like any other passenger, any student using a bus is required to have a valid ticket for each journey. WHICH PASS? 1. College students can chose to purchase a ticket and pay the driver for each journey or; 2. Make use of any special tickets issued by operators such as First Bus/Buses of Somerset or; 3. Purchase the subsidised passes offered by the College for students from Clevedon, Portishead, Weston, Castle Cary, Shepton Mallet, Wiveliscombe, Yeovil or Tiverton (Bridgwater & Cannington Campuses only); 4. Purchase the Somerset County Ticket. Careful research and planning is required to ensure the chosen ticket provides the best value for money for each individual student. This will depend on, for example, the number of journeys a student will make each week, location of work placement, availability of public transport at other times. Whilst the Somerset County Ticket allows unlimited use within Somerset from 1st September to 31st August, the College bus passes allow one return journey Monday – Friday term time only. All passes need to be ordered in advance to gain maximum value. Whilst it is possible to order a County Ticket during term time, once term has started students will need to purchase a bus ticket for each journey while waiting for the pass application to be processed by Somerset County Council.

    'If You Build It, They Will Come' the Origins of Scotland's Country Parks

    ‘If you build it, they will come’ The Origins of Scotland’s Country Parks Volume 1 By: Phil Back A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Arts and Humanities Department of History May 2018 University of Sheffield: Department of History ‘If you build it, they will come’: The origins of Scotland’s Country Parks Phil Back Volume 1 Pollok Country Park, Glasgow (Author’s collection) Supervisors: Dr James Shaw, Dr Tim Baycroft, Dr Clare Griffiths and Dr Caoimhe Nic Dháibhéid Abstract Country parks emerged as a designated landscape type in the UK following legislation in the 1960s. Conceived initially as a solution to damaging impacts on the scenic and working countryside from visiting motorists, they were a response to alarmist forecasts of trends that would exacerbate these problems further. Although often mentioned in discussion of countryside policy, country parks have never been examined in depth in Scotland, where the applicability of this policy has generally been either ignored, or conflated with the experience of England & Wales. Yet recreational need in Scotland was very different, and requires specific examination, as does the solution provided. This thesis uses archive material, together with contemporary commentary, to explore countryside recreation policy in Scotland in the later twentieth century. It considers whether the factors influencing legislation in England & Wales were germane to Scotland as well, and whether the emergent Scottish policy reflected Scotland’s distinctive needs. The thesis explores the creation of the Countryside Commission for Scotland and the expectations placed upon it, together with its fundamental weaknesses.
