The Urban Design framework aspires to be adopted as planning guidance and as a part of the forthcoming Local Development Framework for the Stroud district. In July 2006 Roger Evans Associates were commissioned by Stroud District Council in partnership with Nailsworth Town Council to produce a ‘vision and masterplan’ for Nailsworth town centre. In the brief, the vision statement was to: ‘Create a vibrant town centre environment which builds upon positive characteristics of the existing historic core, but also provides for a new range of attractive uses for the future’ The brief outlined a number of regeneration opportunities in the town, and specifically pointed toward the possibilities of large scale change in the Old Market area. Action Plan for Nailsworth Approaches to the town are often strikingly beautiful. The draft Action Plan for Nailsworth was published in May 2006. A SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) analysis of the town centre was carried out as part of the plan. Full details of this are contained in the draft Action Plan document. In response to the SWOT analysis, the Action Plan set out the following specific objectives: We would like Nailsworth to be: • An attractive Cotswold Market Town • A safe place to live and welcoming to visitors • A town with opportunities to learn and play • A town with opportunities to work • Accessible The entrance to Nailsworth from The ‘W’ is full of character, though it is let • A town which protects and values the environment down by the run-down state of the characteristic cattle gate, and the area in • A town with a range of health and social care front of Somerfield. The Action Plan mentions a number of planned and current regeneration projects that help to achieve the objectives of the plan, the first of which is the regeneration of Old Market. It states that a masterplan will be prepared which will provide physical design concepts and proposals which deliver the objectives of the Action Plan, and which will contain a high level of public consultation. Since the start of the commission, the ‘vision and masterplan’ has been re-named the ‘Nailsworth Urban Design Framework’. Popular eateries and shops – typified by William’s – are becoming a leading ‘USP’ for Nailsworth. 2 ROGER EVANS ASSOCIATES FOR STROUD DISTRICT COUNCIL & NAILSWORTH TOWN COUNCIL INTRODUCTION NAILSWORTH URBAN DESIGN FRAMEWORK 1 1.2 Community Aspirations A Stakeholder Workshop was assembled at the start of the commission in order to agree a set of community aspirations to which the framework would respond.

  • The Fleece Medical Society
    Bristol Medico-Chirurgical Journal January/April 1983 The Fleece Medical Society H. J. Eastes, M.B., B.S., F.R.C.G.P. General Practitioner, Marshfield The Bristol Medico-Chirurgical Society was formed in 1874 and 9 years later a hundred years ago its journal first appeared. However, some 84 years ear- lier, on 21st May 1788, five members of our pro- fession all school friends or fellow students met in the parlour of the Fleece Inn at Rodborough, in the valley between Stroud and Nailsworth and resolved to set up the Gloucestershire Medical Society, better known as the Fleece Medical Society. The Fleece Inn, built in 1753, was patronised by members of the woollen trade which flourished in the valley. In 1853 the licence seems to have been transferred to a building nearer Stroud and known as the Old Fleece Inn. The original building in which Jenner and his friends met is now a private residence Hillgrove House on the A46 (Figure 1). Two of the five members founding the Fleece Medical Society, Edward Jenner of Berkeley and John Hickes of Gloucester, were already members of the Convivio-Medical Society meeting at the Ship Inn at Alveston near Bristol, a largely social club whose members were threatening to expel Jenner for his insistence on the importance of Coxpox as a protection against Smallpox. This may have been the spur that brought these five friends together to form what was, I believe, the oldest provincial medical society of which records still exist. The minutes are preserved, thanks to Sir William Osier The original Fleece Inn who bought them from Dr.

  • 7.4 Stroud District Council Area Rationale Member Support
    7.4 Stroud District Council Area Number of Proposed Divisions: 10 Total Electorate for District in 2010: 90,091 Forecast Electorate for District in 2016: 93,737 Forecast District Average Number of Electors per 9,374 Councillor in 2016: Forecast County Average Number of Electors per 9,220 Councillor in 2016: % Co-terminosity with District Wards 80% Rationale A major constraint in drawing up the proposals for the Stroud division is the geographical position of Wotton-under-Edge. Forming a new division of about 9300 in the south west of the district has a large knock-on effect for the whole southern part, at least, and can produce what looks like odd-shaped boundaries. However, for the most part, the new divisions are coherent, mostly based on current divisions and achieve a high coterminosity of 80%. Member Support The proposals for the Stroud District Council area are supported by councillors from all political groups.
