Your proposals will split Lechlade unnaturally since at the moment the Wern development is actually part of the town of Lechlade and within its natural boundary. Fairford also loses its integrity as a complete town. Kempsford thus becomes a mish mash rather than an integral community in its own right and therefore cannot have its iinterests properly presented. given that for dental and doctors' surgeries and for shopping the residents of Kempsford naturally go to Fairford, it would seem illogical to link it with a tiny part of Lechlade.

Map Features: Annotation 1: Proposed boundary revision between Lechlade Ward Comment text: The proposal for Fairford South and Kempsford meets only one of the guiding principles electoral equality. Of the other two, the current proposal splits communities and in not closely following parish/town boundaries complicates effective and convenient local government. The Main area of concern is the overlap with the Parish of Lechlade. The communities of Downington, Green Farm, The Wern, Butlers Court and Moorgate are logically part of Lechlade and have weak to no community connection to Fairford South and Kempsford. The proposal is to amend the current proposal so that the boundary continues from the North down Bryworth Lane to the A417 then continues southward along the edge of the lake before cutting East along a track to the currently proposed boundary.

It is a wonderful example of ‘Ivory Tower’ thinking that completely misses the point. I have lived in Lechlade all of my life and have already experienced the blatant sideling by the Cotswold District Council such as the exclusion of the right to bid for European grant money (though I note you are happy to collect parking fines from a community where we were quite happily self‐managing our parking), which was absolutely baffling as surely proposed projects were judged on their merit and the unjustified exclusion flies in the face of the European philosophy; I am not digressing because I suspect Lechlade was excluded from bidding due to its location on the fringe of the Cotswolds, low influence and high self‐dependence based on the hard work of the residents and it is the same principals, only worse, that will result in a remote and forgotten ‘West Lechlade’ completely unrepresented if your ridiculous proposal is taken Forward given that Fairford is over 3 miles away through open Countryside whereas the centre of Lechlade is just a short stroll. If there was ever an example of common sense blowing to the wind, this has got to be it! The ‘common sense’ revolution once banded by the Tories was as laughable then as it is now. I’m not apologetic for the tone and content of my e‐mail, because it conveys the absolute ludicrousness of proposal. Drop this proposal and Keep Lechlade as Lechlade!

It is important for community cohesion and for enrolment in St Lawrence School that the whole of Lechlade is designated as a single electoral ward. Thank you.

I recognise that lechlade in its entirety as one ward would mean that it might have slightly more electors than some other wards but Lechlade is a self contained little town with its own issues that needs to be treated as one ward with one voice.The tiny area that it is proposed to link with South Fairford has everything in common with Lechlade and nothing in common with Fairford.

I appreciate that it will mean a slightly higher number of electors if the very tiny part of Lechade to the west, that it is proposed to attach South Fairford, is instead kept within the Lechlade ward but this disadvantage is considerably outwayed by the fact all the issues for thios part of the town relate to Leclade and none to Fairford.

We do not feel that this is a practical move or in the best interest of the electors and that the division would be better to follow the Parish boundary to the West of Lechlade.

  • Flooding Update Following the Cotswold Residents' Flood Meeting
    Flooding update Following the Cotswold residents’ flood meeting on the 5th March, I will now provide an update including information we have received from the various stakeholders and agencies and a selection of answers we have received to questions from constituents if you are interested. Now the summer months are upon us we expect tangible progress to be made with all the agencies working together. It is vital that if we have heavy rainfall next winter the Cotswolds is properly prepared, and we do not have a repeat of last winter. The winters do appear to be getting consistently wetter, so this seems to be a problem which is not going to go away which makes it all the more urgent of an issue. I also plan to visit areas to see for myself what work has been carried out and where more needs to be done before the next flood meeting in October so I have a real sense and evidence of what progress has been achieved or not. We will be providing another newsletter in a few weeks where we will ask the agencies and stakeholders for another progress report. If you would like any further information or if you have any questions, please email me at [email protected] Highways update from Bob Skillern, Area Highways Manager (East), Highways Commissioning, Gloucestershire County Council: ‘The Highway network is the most valuable asset that the County Council manages, maintains and providing a safe, resilient, functioning network is at the core of the Council’s responsibility as a Highway Authority.

    2 In memory of Jeffrey Martin Whittock (1927–2013), much-loved and respected father and papa. 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS A number of people provided valuable advice which assisted in the preparation of this book; without them, of course, carrying any responsibility for the interpretations offered by the book. We are particularly indebted to our agent Robert Dudley who, as always, offered guidance and support, as did Simon Hamlet and Mark Beynon at The History Press. In addition, Bradford-on-Avon library, and the Wiltshire and the Somerset Library services, provided access to resources through the inter-library loans service. For their help and for this service we are very grateful. Through Hannah’s undergraduate BA studies and then MPhil studies in the department of Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic (ASNC) at Cambridge University (2008–12), the invaluable input of many brilliant academics has shaped our understanding of this exciting and complex period of history, and its challenging sources of evidence. The resulting familiarity with Old English, Old Norse and Insular Latin has greatly assisted in critical reflection on the written sources. As always, the support and interest provided by close family and friends cannot be measured but is much appreciated. And they have been patient as meal-time conversations have given way to discussions of the achievements of Alfred and Athelstan, the impact of Eric Bloodaxe and the agendas of the compilers of the 4 Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. 5 CONTENTS Title Dedication Acknowledgements Introduction 1 The Gathering
