A thriving economy will provide a basis for the improvement in the quality of life of Cheltenham residents, while a declining economy and high levels of unemployment can increase levels of poverty and have a detrimental impact on the physical and mental health of some residents. 1. The economy of Cheltenham 1.1 Gross Value Added The total output of the Cheltenham economy was approximately £2.97 billion in 2017, representing 18% of the value of output in Gloucestershire1. This was less than Gloucester and Tewkesbury which contributed 22% and 21% of the value of output in Gloucestershire respectively. Figure 1 shows the industrial sectors in terms of their size, growth and local concentration. The sectors contributing most to the district’s GVA2 are those represented by the largest bubbles. Those in the top-left quadrant are more concentrated in Cheltenham than in Gloucestershire a whole, but crucially have experienced falling levels of GVA in recent years. The upper-right quadrant of the diagram shows sectors which are growing and in which Cheltenham has a structural advantage in terms of local concentration of GVA. Real estate activities and Human health and social work activities make the greatest contribution to Cheltenham’s GVA. Finance and insurance activities, Manufacturing, Public administration and defence, Agriculture, mining and utilities and Transport and storage make less of a contribution to Cheltenham’s total GVA than the county as a whole. This could be because these sectors are smaller in Cheltenham than elsewhere or they are less productive in Cheltenham than elsewhere. Over the last five years the output generated by Public administration and defence, Human health and social work activities and Arts, entertainment and recreation to Cheltenham’s GVA has declined. 1 Regional gross value added (balanced) local authority by NUTS 1 region: UKK South West, ONS 2 GVA is used to measure the economic value of the goods and services produced in an area Broad industrial sectors in terms of growth, size and specialism in GVA Professional, scientific & Human health & social work Accommodation

  • Holst Family Contribution to Cheltenham Music Making in the 19Th Century
    The Holst family contribution to Cheltenham music making in the 19th century by Graham Lockwood Today Cheltenham basks in the fame that comes from being the town in which the composer of The Planets was born. The Holst Birthplace Museum attracts visitors from around the world and a near life-size sculpture of Gustav Holst now enhances Imperial Gardens in the town centre. For this the community must thank Gustav’s great grandfather, Matthias, born in Riga in 1769. It was Matthias who came to England and who was later to add the name of Holst to those contributing to Cheltenham’s growing musical tradition1. This story began very early in the 19th century when Matthias Holst took the bold decision to give up his role as a professional musician attached to the Imperial Russian Court in St. Petersburg and, with his young family, to settle in London. Matthias’s talents equipped him to earn a living both as a composer and a teacher of playing the harp. His choice of London may have been influenced by stories of the financial successes of those continental musicians who visited or lived there. Haydn is reported to have accumulated 24,000 gulden from his two visits to England in the 1790s compared with just 2,000 gulden from his many years in the service of the Esterhazy family2. Handel had made a considerable fortune from his many years in London in the 18th century. At that time the English were prepared to pay well for musical performance and tuition, but they also had their prejudices.
