This report covers the period since the last APM in March 2012. It has been another busy year for the Parish Council with the Diamond Jubilee and the completion of the village hall refurbishment project which has been an unqualified success. On top of that there has been a great deal of routine work simply to preserve and improve the village facilities that we all enjoy, as well as the activities that bring life to them. 2. I will therefore start by: • Welcoming Simon Troughton who joined the Council in November. Sadly he has not been well, but is making a strong recovery. • Welcoming Matt Beal, who, although not a Council member, has kindly to take on the Chairmanship of the Footpaths Working Party vice Martin Lampard. A thank you to Martin for his 8 year stint in this capacity. • Thanking all my PC colleagues and everyone in the village who contributes to community life for all the time and effort they give towards making Longparish one of the best places to live in the Test Valley. • Thanking all our speakers for ‘turning to’ this evening. 3. We need also to record thanks for support from Hampshire County Council, Test Valley Borough Council, the Test Valley Association of Parish Councils and the Hampshire Association of Local Councils. Our County Councillor, Andrew Gibson who is with us this evening, has also managed to attend several of our meetings despite a very busy schedule. Our local Test Valley Borough Ward Councillor, Jim Neal, is a regular attended at our meetings and has provided advice, particularly on Planning. 4. it is only since becoming Chairman that I have come to recognise and appreciate the many and wide ranging skills and talents that we are lucky to have amongst us; and, indeed the wide range of facilities, clubs and societies on offer, which all take time to manage and develop. The increase in the number of families with young children too over the last 5-10 years is very welcome; such change helps to enhance and sustain the village - the thriving and vibrant community that we all enjoy. PLANNING 5. One of the main functions of the Council is to comment on planning applications and notifications; and in the last 12 months we have dealt with 25 applications and 10 tree notifications that are required within a conservation area, including the Owls Lodge Solar Farm now operational] and several ongoing developments by Raymond Brown at the A 303 Recycling facility . I would like to thank Graham Darrah who, as Tree Warden, advises the PC on each such notification. Very few applications have been contentious; where possible, the Council has worked with applicants to modify them where it has felt they might be improved; and where necessary we have attended TVBC planning committee meetings to explain the Parish Council’s views. I am grateful to Jim Sawyer for his input to planning as Chairman of the Planning Committee. 6. Planning is an ever moving feast due to various Government initiatives and I should also mention that The Revised Local Plan, the new name for the Core Strategy, which TVBC consulted on during January/February 2012, is presently available on the TVBC website for further consultation until 26 April 2013. Please let the Parish Council know if you have any comments. The Planning Committee will be meeting in the Village Hall committee room [side entrance] on Monday 15 April at 19.45 pm to consider the Council’s response. 3 Longparish Annual Parish Meeting 2013 – Approved minutes COMMUNICATIONS 7. Hill & Valley: The Council wishes to record a particular thank you to Mary Jo Darrah who continues to edit our Hill & Valley pages. How lucky we are to have such a useful Parish magazine, which the Council pays to be delivered free to each household. Thanks too, to the magazine distributors – it is another task that just gets done. 8. Village Website: There is a huge amount of information about the village on our website at www.longparish.org.uk , which earns many compliments. David and Fiona Gould do a great deal of work on the website; the sort of behind the scenes work which doesn’t always show but is very much appreciated. I would just add here our thanks to David who continues to support the Council as Clerk to the Burial Board. 9. High Speed Broadband: • The County Council Plans to roll out high speed broadband to 90% of households in Hampshire. They have recently let a ££13.8M contract and appointed BT as its commercial partner in a 3 year roll out programme. • Bringing faster broadband to Longparish will involve minimal disruption. All that is needed is fibre optic cable to the telephone exchange and three new sub boxes and that cable will use existing ducting. • Andrew Gibson has been working hard behind the scenes to ensure that the voice of the rural villages is heard and the Parish Council has met with a BT Director involved with the contract. • For our part, we need to ensure that demand from Longparish is sufficient to make it certain that we are included in the 90%. If you have not already done so, please register an interest on the County Council website at http://www3.hants.gov.uk/broadband/broadband-signup.htm. Registering support does not commit anyone to signing up for a new service. FOOTPATHS 10. We have around 20 miles of footpaths in the Parish and we are lucky that most of the landowners in the village take their responsibilities for footpaths seriously and look after them well – thank you. Some of our footpaths are regularly maintained by volunteers who have adopted them. A thank you to all of them too. 11. A long term ambition in the Parish Plan has been to improve the surface of part of the spinal path running from North Acre to Sugar Lane, thereby offering a safe route to school by mothers with buggies all year round. There have been a number of near misses on the B3048 in recent years which have emphasised the need. I am pleased to report that he Parish Council gave authority to the selected contractor to proceed with the work and we hope that there will be a start in May.

  • A CRITICAL EVALUATION of the LOWER-MIDDLE PALAEOLITHIC ARCHAEOLOGICAL RECORD of the CHALK UPLANDS of NORTHWEST EUROPE Lesley
    A CRITICAL EVALUATION OF THE LOWER-MIDDLE PALAEOLITHIC ARCHAEOLOGICAL RECORD OF THE CHALK UPLANDS OF NORTHWEST EUROPE The Chilterns, Pegsdon, Bedfordshire (photograph L. Blundell) Lesley Blundell UCL Thesis submitted for the degree of PhD September 2019 2 I, Lesley Blundell, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signed: 3 4 Abstract Our understanding of early human behaviour has always been and continues to be predicated on an archaeological record unevenly distributed in space and time. More than 80% of British Lower-Middle Palaeolithic findspots were discovered during the late 19th/early 20th centuries, the majority from lowland fluvial contexts. Within the British planning process and some academic research, the resultant findspot distributions are taken at face value, with insufficient consideration of possible bias resulting from variables operating on their creation. This leads to areas of landscape outside the river valleys being considered to have only limited archaeological potential. This thesis was conceived as an attempt to analyse the findspot data of the Lower-Middle Palaeolithic record of the Chalk uplands of southeast Britain and northern France within a framework complex enough to allow bias in the formation of findspot distribution patterns and artefact preservation/discovery opportunities to be identified and scrutinised more closely. Taking a dynamic, landscape = record approach, this research explores the potential influence of geomorphology, 19th/early 20th century industrialisation and antiquarian collecting on the creation of the Lower- Middle Palaeolithic record through the opportunities created for artefact preservation and release.

  • The Middleton Estate
    WELCOME TO THE MIDDLETON ESTATE Dear Angler, Welcome to the Middleton Estate! By now I hope you are settled and are relaxing with a cup of coffee. Here is a summary of the fishing and what to expect; have a lovely day. THE RIVER TEST The River Test has a total length of 40 miles and flows through the Hampshire downlands from its source near Overton, 6 miles to the west of Basingstoke, to the sea at the head of Southampton Water. The river rises in the village of Ashe, and flows west through the villages of Overton, Laverstoke, and the town of Whitchurch, before joining with the Bourne Rivulet at Testbourne and turning into a more southerly direction. It then flows through the villages of Longparish and Middleton to Wherwell and Chilbolton, where the Rivers Dever and Anton contribute to the flow. From Chilbolton the river flows through the villages of Leckford, Longstock, Stockbridge and Houghton to Mottisfont and Kimbridge, where the River Dun joins the flow. From here the village of Timsbury is passed, then through the grounds of Roke Manor before reaching the town of Romsey. On the western edge of Romsey, Sadler's Mill, an 18th Century watermill, sits astride the River Test. South of Romsey, the river flows past the country house of Broadlands, past Nursling that was once the site of a Roman bridge, and between Totton and Redbridge. Here the river is joined by the River Blackwater and soon becomes tidal, widening out into a considerable estuary that is lined on its northern bank by the container terminals and quays of the Port of Southampton.

  • Get out and Walk a Visitors’ Guide to Exploring Test Valley
    Get out and walk A visitors’ guide to exploring Test Valley Produced by Test Valley Borough Council in association with Hampshire County Council Countryside Service and the Hampshire Ramblers. 2 Test Valley is fortunate not only to have the longest river in Hampshire, beautiful countryside, a host of charming villages but also 500 miles of rights of way and fantastic open spaces to explore. Danebury Hillfort is owned by Hampshire County Council and Chilbolton Common by the Parish Council. Stockbridge Down, Stockbridge Marsh, Plaitford Common and Mottisfont House are owned by the National Trust. Broughton Down, a local nature reserve and Harewood Forest add ecological and historical Stcid Dw fascination and should not be missed. Msf H Danebury Hillfort 3 Whether you are visiting Test Valley, or already live here, this guide will help you make the most of the countless opportunities to explore the area on foot. It will also point you in the direction for many other walks. DID YOU KNOW Test Valley has more Iron Age Hillforts than anywhere else in Hampshire? Scan the horizon from the vantage of Danebury Hill. On a clear day, it is said you can see at least 5 other hillforts, including Bury Hill to the north, Quarley in the west and Woolbury on Stockbridge Down to the east. All of these fascinating places are accessible to you. Imagine what it may have been like thousands of years ago when Test Valley was a very different place. Its two Roman roads, The Icknield Way and Portway, cast striking lines on the map and are traced in today’s landscape by footpaths, hedgelines and banks.
