  • Financial Strategy 2016/17 to 2018/19 PDF
    Cabinet, 17th February 2016: FINANCIAL STRATEGY 2016/17 – 2018/19 Committee and Date Cabinet 17th February 2016 12:00noon FINANCIAL STRATEGY 2016/17 – 2018/19 Responsible Officer James Walton e-mail: [email protected] Tel: 01743 255011 1. Summary This report presents for approval the 2016/17 budget and also identifies the proposals for 2017/18 and 2018/19 budgets which will be further developed throughout 2016/17. Cabinet has received 3 financial strategy reports over the last year setting out the budget position for the Council over the next 3 years. The report to Cabinet on 28 October 2015 set out the development of a Sustainable Business Model to allow the Council to consider what services will be affordable going forward. Savings proposals to balance 2016/17 were identified in the report on 9 December 2015 and following the Provisional Local Government Finance Settlement on 17 December 2015, the Financial Strategy report to Cabinet on 27 January refined the 2016/17 budget and provided details of what service budgets would look like in 2017/18 and 2018/19 within the current resource projections. As previously recommended to Council in the report to Cabinet on 9 December 2015, increases in Council Tax of 2% specifically to be used for Adult Social Care and a further 1.99% increase to be used as general resources are included in the projections. This report provides the final position for 2016/17 budget which has been updated for the Final Local Government Finance Settlement, announced on 8 February 2016. This has seen an improved position for Shropshire Council, with an additional £5.5m in Rural Services Delivery Grant and Transitionary grant provided for 2016/17, reducing to £3m in 2017/18.

  • Tucked Between Flat Midlands and Ru Walks of the Shropshire Way and Ordnance
    ., . SHRO Tucked between flat Midlands and ru walks of the Shropshire Way and Ordnance WORDS NICK HAWSSEY PHOTOGRAPHY BOB ATKINS hurch Stretton and the hills around it occupy some bizarre bubble of alternate space, floating ephemerally somewhere west of Shrewsbury. C This pocket paradise of underused paths and trails shouldn't be there; it's been sneaked in, between pancake-flat Midlands and Welsh gnarl, like a bit of late school homework. Arriving here feels like you've broken into another dimension, one where time stopped several hours ago and where the place names are a tongue-twisting mish­ mash of Old English, Welsh and something else entirely. I had never set foot in Shropshire before this feature. Now, I'd happily rank it among my favourite places to walk. Anywhere. And here's why... THE SHROPSHIRE WAY A few years ago, ex-Army officer and adoptive Shroppie lad Jim Stabler took a look at the Shropshire Way and found it wanting. It skirted some staggering beauty spots, as if paranoid of going too near them. It failed to link some of the best walking country that Shropshire has to offer. And it was full of stiles, tricky river crossings and other navigational tripwires. Jim resolved to do something about it. and with help from Shropshire County Council. he has. As walkers, we owe the man a pint, especially as he's done it in a couple of years and for a mere £160,000 - most of it coming from the European Union. His work has concentrated on the southern section, which is at the heart of Explorer 21Z This stretch takes in the big hitters of the trail.

  • Notes on the Geology and Fossils of the Ludlow District
    NOTES ON THE GEOLOGY AND FOSSILS OF THE LUDLOW DISTRICT. By A. SMITH WOODWARD, LL.D., F.R.S., President. (A few ad,'ance coft'es issued /0 11ttlnbtr, in July, ' 901.) NDE R the presidency of a palreontologist it seems appro­ U priate that the Geologists ' Association should devote its Long Excursion this year to the study of fossils in the field. It becomes more and more evident, as researches progress, that the past history of life on the earth can only be satisfactorily deciphered when the exact stratigraphical position of each fossil has been determined by careful collecting. The variations of an organism in time and space, and its successive migrations, can only be ascertained by more detailed field-work and more precise labelling than has hitherto been customary among palreontolo­ gists. It is therefore necessary to follow the lead of Lapworth, Buckman, Rowe, Wheelton Hind, Miss Elles, Miss Wood, and others who are inaugurating a new era in the study of British fossils by a most exact and exhaustive method of collecting. The Association, indeed, cannot do better at the present time than attempt to arouse renewed interest in a classic district, which has been much neglected by geologists during recent years, and has scarcely been examined in any respect from the modern standpoint. The classic ground we have chosen to visit is the old country of the Silures, where Murchison originally worked out the details of his Silurian System. Much of it has never been visited by the Association before, and thirty-two years have now elapsed since Ludlow was the centre of one of our excursions.

  • An Archaeological Analysis of Anglo-Saxon Shropshire A.D. 600 – 1066: with a Catalogue of Artefacts
    An Archaeological Analysis of Anglo-Saxon Shropshire A.D. 600 – 1066: With a catalogue of artefacts By Esme Nadine Hookway A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of MRes Classics, Ancient History and Archaeology College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham March 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Abstract The Anglo-Saxon period spanned over 600 years, beginning in the fifth century with migrations into the Roman province of Britannia by peoples’ from the Continent, witnessing the arrival of Scandinavian raiders and settlers from the ninth century and ending with the Norman Conquest of a unified England in 1066. This was a period of immense cultural, political, economic and religious change. The archaeological evidence for this period is however sparse in comparison with the preceding Roman period and the following medieval period. This is particularly apparent in regions of western England, and our understanding of Shropshire, a county with a notable lack of Anglo-Saxon archaeological or historical evidence, remains obscure. This research aims to enhance our understanding of the Anglo-Saxon period in Shropshire by combining multiple sources of evidence, including the growing body of artefacts recorded by the Portable Antiquity Scheme, to produce an over-view of Shropshire during the Anglo-Saxon period.

A total of 15 families; 36 genera and 53 species are documented herein, including a new genus and seventeen new species; fourteen of which remain under open nomenclature. Most of the trilobites in the British late Silurian are restricted to the shelf, and predominantly occur in the Elton, Bringewood, Leintwardine, and Whitcliffe groups of Wales and the Welsh Borderland. The Elton to Whitcliffe groups represent a shallowing upwards sequence overall; each is characterised by a distinct lithofacies and fauna. The trilobites and brachiopods of the Coldwell Formation of the Lake District Basin are documented, and are comparable with faunas in the Swedish Colonus Shale and the Mottled Mudstones of North Wales. Ludlow trilobite associations, containing commonly co-occurring trilobite taxa, are defined for each palaeoenvironment.
