Notices of Motion – to consider the following motions received in accordance with Council Procedure Rule 10.1. (a) By Cllrs Tucker and Hicks “This Council calls on the Secretary of State for Transport and the Chancellor of the Exchequer to support the future economic resilience of the South West Peninsula by investing in improved strategic road and rail transport links. Our area is frequently cut off from the rest of the country because strategic transport links are adversely affected by severe weather, accidents or maintenance works. Efficient transport is critical to ensure essential services function and the economy can grow. We ask the Government to invest in four key areas to help Devon’s economy: Improvements to the A303/A30/A358 to create a reliable second strategic road link from London to the South West Peninsula A resilient and reliable railway for the South West Peninsula Faster rail journey times and better connections Sufficient capacity and quality of our trains (both engines and carriages) to meet demand.” (b) By Cllrs Brazil and Baldry “Under new legislation local planning authorities are now responsible for setting the number of houses to be built in their area per annum. To date SHDC have not set this number. We propose that until we have publically debated this crucial issue, we cease all preparation of the development strategy known as ‘Our Plan’ so that members of the public can see how the level of house building in the South Hams has been calculated.” 10.

The presentation of all monitoring features into these catchment maps will assist in developing an integrated approach to catchment management and operation. The water quality monitoring maps and index were originally incorporated into the Catchment Action Plans. They provide a visual presentation of monitored sites within a catchment and enable water quality data to be accessed easily by all departments and external organisations. The maps bring together information from different sections within Water Quality. The routine river monitoring and tidal water monitoring points, the licensed waste disposal sites and the monitored effluent discharges (pic, non-plc, fish farms, COPA Variation Order [non-plc and pic]) are plotted. The type of discharge is identified such as sewage effluent, dairy factory, etc. Additionally, river impact and control sites are indicated for significant effluent discharges. If the watercourse is not sampled then the location symbol is qualified by (*). Additional details give the type of monitoring undertaken at sites (ie chemical, biological and algological) and whether they are analysed for more specialised substances as required by: a. EC Dangerous Substances Directive b. EC Freshwater Fish Water Quality Directive c. DOE Harmonised Monitoring Scheme d. DOE Red List Reduction Programme c.

Excluding listed places of worship, for which the survey is still incomplete,1,150 assets have been removed for positive reasons since the Register was launched in 2008.The sites that remain at risk tend to be the more intractable ones where solutions are taking longer to implement. While the overall number of buildings at risk has fallen, the average conservation deficit for each property has increased from £260k (1999) to £370k (2012).We are also seeing a steady increase in the proportion of buildings that are capable of beneficial re-use – those that have become redundant not because of any fundamental lack of potential, but simply as the temporary victims of the current economic climate. The South West headlines for 2012 reveal a mixed picture. We will continue to fund Monument Management It is good news that 8 buildings at risk have been removed Schemes which, with match-funding from local authorities, from the Register; less good that another 15 have had to offer a cost-effective, locally led approach to tackling be added.

  • South Hams Strategic Swimming Study South Hams May 2008 District Council
    South Hams Strategic Swimming Study South Hams May 2008 District Council Bennett Leisure & Planning Ltd, Canberra, Rundle Road, Newton Abbot, Devon TQ12 2PY Tel. 01626 333308 Jacqueline Bennett, Robert Crabb South Hams Strategic Swimming Study / May 2008 1 Executive Summary Swimming remains one of the nation’s most popular physical activities and is of proven benefi t to health and fi tness. Up to 15% of South Hams adult residents swim regularly – a high participation rate within Devon. The Study has undertaken a strategic review of facilities for swimming across the South Hams District and adjoining areas. In particular, it takes into account proposals for new pool provision in Plymouth which will have an impact on the west of the District. Swimming pools are some of the most complex and expensive leisure facilities to build, operate and maintain. Sport is not currently a high priority for South Hams District Council. The main funding streams for swimming pool projects rely heavily on the National Lottery and capital fi nancing from the District Council and the Amateur Swimming Association, all of which have very limited funds. The Council will have to consider the timescales suggested so that they may fi t into a capital programme over the coming years. New and improved pool facilities are required in the South Hams to increase swimming participation, to better cater for a full range of swimming needs and disciplines, to offer greater fl exibility in programming and management and to reduce operating costs. Key Recommendations 1: Maintaining and improving existing provision To ensure budgets and plans are in place to maintain and improve existing pool provision at Ivybridge (South Dartmoor LC), Kingsbridge (Quayside LC), Totnes (Totnes and District Swimming Pool (TADPOOL)) and Dartmouth (Dartmouth Outdoor Pool), depending on progression of recommendations made in this Report.

  • Civilian Evacuation to Devon in the Second World War
    VOLUME 2 OF 2 CIVILIAN EVACUATION TO DEVON IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR Submitted by S.J. HESS as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History, 2006 CHAPTER SEVEN The ‘slum mentality’ of the evacuee – the myth challenged This Chapter firstly assesses Devon’s pre-war school medical service. Discussion then focuses on four crucial health issues which became problematic during evacuation, namely dirty habits, pediculosis (head lice), enuresis (bedwetting) and skin infections. The development of hostels for evacuees deemed unsuitable for billeting on arrival is also discussed. These health issues generated much adverse publicity, particularly during the first evacuation wave, and led to the persistent myth that evacuees were dirty, ill-trained and that they introduced pediculosis and skin infections into reception areas. Local documentary archive material is used to examine Devon’s experience and support the argument that generalised and exaggerated adverse publicity fostered a false stereotype. The largest number of evacuee children came to Devon in 1940 at a time when medical checks were improved, both in evacuation and reception areas. In addition the County already had an established degree of pediculosis and skin infections before evacuation. No evidence of a public or official outcry has been found locally to compare with reports emanating from some reception areas, particularly those areas receiving children from northern evacuation areas such as Merseyside.1 This variance with the ‘received’ version of events highlights the importance of local research. 1 The percentage of Merseyside children suffering from pediculosis, who were evacuated to areas such as Herefordshire, Shropshire and Cheshire, was between 22-50% compared with children from London where the percentage ranged from 8-35%.

There are things that make each region special and, once lost, will mean a sense of our region’s character is lost too. Comparing the South West to the national Register shows that 62.2% of all hillforts and 58.7% of all types of cairns are in our region.

They have a very limited provision of local services. Due to the lack of facilities in this location, any development will lead to an increase in use of the private car. Further assessments will be required to understand whether the area in general is a suitable location for development. The designated primary school is Harbertonford Primary which has limited capacity and is not capable of expansion. Contributions towards facilities and transport may be required from new development. The designated secondary school is King Edward VI Community College, Totnes which currently has capacity but contributions towards facilities and transport may be required from new development.
