Gloucestershire Labour Party and Labour Group

Response to the draught recommendation on the new electoral arrangements for Gloucestershire by Gloucestershire County Labour Party and Gloucestershire County Council Labour groups After many meetings with groups across Gloucestershire discussing and examining the Boundary Commission recommendations for Gloucestershire we feel we can support most of your recommendations. We would like to thank the Boundary Commission for their work we think it’s a fair and balanced review. Cheltenham We welcome and agree the proposals for Cheltenham. Cotswold We agree and welcome the proposals for the Cotswold. Forest of Dean We welcome and agree the proposals for the Forest of Dean. Gloucester City We welcome and agree the proposals for the following County Council divisions in Gloucester City. Area 27 Abbey Area 28 Barnwood and Hucclecote Area 30 Matson and Coney Hill Area 32 Kingholm and Wotton Area 33 Longlevens Area 34 Kingsway and Grange Area 35 Quedgley Area 36 Tuffley and Robinswood We wish to make a small change by removing a small area out of the proposed area 31 Hempstead and Westgate (623 Electors) into area 29 Barton and Tredworth. We then wish to remove a small area out of area 29 Barton and Tredworth (519 Electors) into area 31 Hempstead and Westgate. Area to be moved from Barton and Tredworth into Hempstead and Westgate Lannett Road Stanley Road Calton Road Tweedbrook Avenue Stanley Terraces Sydenham Terraces Churchill Road (part) West side of Stroud Road The proposal to move the above area into Hempstead and Westgate is to acknowledge that the Lannett is a recognised area and under the new proposed boundary changes splits that area in half. The first few houses in Churchill road from King Edwards Avenue are proposed to be in one division and the rest of Churchill Road in another. What we are proposing is moving the boundary from King Edwards Avenue to Stroud Road this reunites the historical Linden ward which was divided and became Morlands ward at the last boundary change, Area to be moved from Hempstead and Westgate into Barton and Tredworth East side of Stroud Road Weston Road St Paul’s Road New Street West side of Parkend Road Trier Way becomes the boundary. The proposal to move the above area into Barton and Tredworth is to join together the St Paul’s area which is a locally regonised area of the City and makes Stroud Road the new boundary and is consistent with the other proposal. These proposals are suggested to reunite natural communities which have been split under the boundary review. The areas to be exchanged are of a similar number making Hempstead and Westgate electors 10051 and Barton and Tredworth electors 9654 Stroud We welcome and agree the proposals for Stroud Tewkesbury We welcome and agree the proposals for Tewkesbury.

There were an additional 1,100 non-UK short-term residents who were not counted as usual residents on the Census day. The population growth rate between 2001 and 2011 at 5.7%, or an annual growth of 3,200 people, was lower than the national average of 7.8%. A third of the growth was attributable to Gloucester where demographic demand for services and infrastructure would have surged during the period. The current population consisted of 136,600 children and young people aged 0- 19, 349,000 adults aged 20-64, and 111,400 older people aged 65 or above. This included an increase in the working age and the older population, and a small reduction in the number of children and young people in the previous 10 years.

Gloucester Area Health Profile June 2010 Gloucester Healthy Living
Gloucester Area Health Profile June 2010 gloucester healthy living DRAFT 1. Introduction The 2010 Area Health Profile provides a brief overview of some of the main health issues for Gloucester. It does not include comparative locality data on these issues as this is presented in the Gloucestershire Health Profile. Therefore it is recommended that these profiles should be read together. Many factors impact on health and wellbeing in a population. In addition to health care services, socio-economic factors such as education, housing, employment and income have a significant influence. The 2010 Area Health Profile contains information on socio-economic determinants not covered in the 2009 Area Health Profile - employment, income and living environment. It also contains information about some of the typical health and lifestyle characteristics of local populations using a social marketing tool, HealthACORN. An update on some of the current partnership and project work is also included, and finally some recommendations for future work are made. This document is divided into the following sections: • Demographics • How healthy is Gloucester – what are the key issues • Factors influencing health and wellbeing – what and where • What we are doing now • What else we need to do 2. Demographics – now and in the future The geographical area of Gloucester covers 1.5% of the County’s total area and has a population of 114,900 people, which equates to 19.6% of the total County population (Office for National Statistics (ONS) 2008). According to the Office for National Statistics, Gloucester is forecast to have a population increase (2009-2025) of 12.4% in those aged 19 and under (County 2.9%) and a 39.8% population increase in those aged 65 and over (County 48.1%) Gloucester is predominantly an urban area with only 0.3% of people living in rural areas (2001).

Gloucestershire County Council
Gloucester District Profile This profile has been produced by the Strategic Needs Analysis Team. It contains key statistics and information about the district with comparisons to the county average. For further information please contact Neil Dixon (Strategic Needs Analysis Manager) [email protected] or the Strategic Needs Analysis Team [email protected] Figure 1: Gloucester City Gloucester Page 2 Geography and Selected Facilities Gloucester is one of six districts that make up the county of Gloucestershire. These districts can be divided into smaller geographies including electoral divisions; district council wards; and par- ishes. There are 10 electoral divisions in Gloucester district. These include Abbey; Barnwood and Hucclecote; Barton and Tredworth; Coney Hill and Matson; Grange and Kingsway; Hempsted and Westgate; Kingsholm and Wotton; Longlevens; Quedgeley; and Tuffley. The county is split into 142 district council wards. Gloucester is made up of 15 wards ,these are Abbey; Barnwood; Barton and Tredworth; Elmbridge; Grange; Hucclecote; Kingsholm and Wot- ton; Longlevens; Matson and Robinswood; Moreland; Podsmead; Quedgeley Fieldcourt; Quedgeley Severn; Vale; Tuffley; and Westgate. The county is also referred to in terms of parishes and non-parish areas which are areas not cov- ered by civil parishes. Gloucester is covered by non parish areas and Quedgeley parish. Gloucester Page 3 Summary This summary gives an overview of key indicators for the district. The rate compares what is happening in the district to the Gloucestershire 'norm' - a rate of 1 shows that the district is the same as the wider norm; a rate of 2 would show that it has double the norm; a rate of 0.5 would show that it has half of the wider norm.

Gloucester Newsletter
ANOTHER GREAT YEAR AT FAIR SHARES Welcome to our Winter Newsletter! We’ve had a crazily busy time here at Fair Shares the last year, including our “chance to shine” month at Gloucester Services, numerous trips, events in Podsmead, Matson and of course the very successful Barton and Tredworth Cultural Fair. We’ve also been on our Annual Holiday to Bournemouth; 23 people on 2 minibuses off on an adventure! We went on Monday 9th September for a 3 night stay at the Seafront Travelodge. Although we have been organising this holiday for quite a few years, it was great to see a whole set of new faces joining us for the first time. Apart from rain on the day we arrived, we were lucky to have great weather for the rest of the trip which meant we were able to do lots of activities whilst we were there. Some of us went to Corfe and caught the steam train to Swanage, others went sea fishing, and a huge group of us had a hilarious morning playing crazy golf in the lower gardens. We had a lovely group meal on the final evening and we all had a really nice time together, sharing experiences and building friendships. We’ve had wonderful feedback from everyone, with one person saying it was “the best holiday he’d ever been on”. A big thank you to everyone for making our holiday such a success this year! We still have our regular weekly lunch group, art group, allotment group and the woodworking project is going from strength to strength with new people joining all the time and lots of things being produced for the community, including the lovely flower planters that can be seen down Barton Street.

From sports fields and playgrounds to formally managed parks and natural landscapes, the city of Gloucester boasts a rich diversity of publicly accessible open spaces. Gloucester’s open spaces provide residents and visitors with opportunities for formal and informal recreation, and daily contact with nature. Open spaces provide venues for sports, social events, entertainment, relaxation and celebration.

Open spaces also form part of a vital biodiversity network, providing habitat for wildlife and bringing the countryside into the heart of the city.
