Somerset Rivers Authority End of Year Report 2016-17: Contents
END OF YEAR REPORT 2016-17 1 SOMERSET RIVERS AUTHORITY END OF YEAR REPORT 2016-17: CONTENTS 1. Introduction (page 2) 2. Performance Delivery: Summary (page 3), Delivery Status: By Funding Source (page 4) Finance: Summary (pages 4 to 5) 3. Progress of Works in Detail Key Projects (pages 6 to 10) SRA 2016-17 Enhanced Programme (pages 11 to 21) INTRODUCTION In 2016-17, Somerset Rivers Authority (SRA) spent just over £6million on actions designed to give Somerset an extra level of flood protection. This end of year report explains where the money came from and how it was spent. It also gives information about projects that have been delayed or had their funding moved to other activities. These details have been provided because the SRA wants people to know what it has achieved across the county – and it wants to be properly accountable. The SRA raises extra money to deliver extra work. Schemes are prioritised for SRA funding on the basis of the main objectives in Somerset’s 20 Year Flood Action Plan, which was developed in response to the floods of winter 2013-14. This report is divided into two sections. Performance covers delivery overall and by funding source, plus a table summarising 2016-17 finance; Progress gives more details about major projects, and smaller actions grouped according to SRA workstream – Dredging & River Management, Land Management, Urban Water Management, Resilient Infrastructure and Building Community Resilience. Somerset’s approach is uniquely joined-up. This report details just one year of the SRA’s extra work. For much more information about earlier years, works in progress and works coming up, visit www.somersetriversauthority.org.uk A note on Somerset Rivers Authority: The SRA is a partnership between 11 of Somerset’s existing flood risk management authorities: Somerset County Council, the five district councils, the Axe Brue and Parrett Internal Drainage Boards, the Environment Agency, Natural England and the Wessex Regional Flood & Coastal Committee.

Palaeolithic and Pleistocene Sites of the Mendip, Bath and Bristol Areas
Proc. Univ. Bristol Spelacol. Soc, 19SlJ, 18(3), 367-389 PALAEOLITHIC AND PLEISTOCENE SITES OF THE MENDIP, BATH AND BRISTOL AREAS RECENT BIBLIOGRAPHY by R. W. MANSFIELD and D. T. DONOVAN Lists of references lo works on the Palaeolithic and Pleistocene of the area were published in these Proceedings in 1954 (vol. 7, no. 1) and 1964 (vol. 10, no. 2). In 1977 (vol. 14, no. 3) these were reprinted, being then out of print, by Hawkins and Tratman who added a list ai' about sixty papers which had come out between 1964 and 1977. The present contribution is an attempt to bring the earlier lists up to date. The 1954 list was intended to include all work before that date, but was very incomplete, as evidenced by the number of older works cited in the later lists, including the present one. In particular, newspaper reports had not been previously included, but are useful for sites such as the Milton Hill (near Wells) bone Fissure, as are a number of references in serials such as the annual reports of the British Association and of the Wells Natural History and Archaeological Society, which are also now noted for the first time. The largest number of new references has been generated by Gough's Cave, Cheddar, which has produced important new material as well as new studies of finds from the older excavations. The original lists covered an area from what is now the northern limit of the County of Avon lo the southern slopes of the Mendips. Hawkins and Tratman extended that area to include the Quaternary Burtle Beds which lie in the Somerset Levels to the south of the Mendips, and these are also included in the present list.

Trinia Glauca
Crouch, H.J. (date accessed). Somerset Rare Plant Register account: Trinia glauca. Somerset Rare Plants Group, www.somersetrareplantsgroup.org.uk [Last amended 08-03-2021] Trinia glauca (L.) Dumort. Honewort Native GB & England: Least Concern GB Rare VC5 Absent; VC6 Scarce A dioecious monocarpic perennial herb of dry, limestone, usually south-facing sites with sparse vegetation or short turf. First recorded in Somerset by Dillenius in about 1726, at Uphill (White, 1912): still present at several locations there, in the enclosed quarry and on rock outcrops and steep slopes nearby, also on adjacent Walborough. Noted by Watson (1835) at Uphill and at Whorle-hill. Seen regularly at Worle Hill and recorded at two locations in 1987, mapped by Green et al. (2000), but now feared lost from that site. North of Weston-super- Mare, Trinia glauca was found by T.F. Perkins on Sand Point in 1876 (White, 1912) and is still frequent on the south-facing rocky slopes. In 1849 it was collected on rocky slopes under Leigh Woods, in the Avon Gorge (White, 1912); although it occurs on St Vincent’s Rock on the Bristol side of the Avon, where indeed it was first recorded for Britain in 1562, there have been no further records on the Somerset side. On the north side of the Mendips this species was recorded on rocks at Hutton Combe in 1874, re-found at Elborough Hill by R.B.G. Roe, but last seen there in 1988 by Robert Cropper. Recorded by W.B. Waterfall at Sidcot and Winscombe (White, 1912) but not seen there subsequently (although “Winscombe” may have referred to sites on the ridge to the south).

The Stratford Lane Roman Road and Other Early Routes on Mendip
Proc, Univ. Bristol Spelaeol. Soc, 1992 19 (2), 151-182 THE STRATFORD LANE ROMAN ROAD AND OTHER EARLY ROUTES ON MENDIP by R.G..I.WILLIAMS ABSTRACT The existence of the Stratford Lane Road was first suggested in 1906- Opinions have differed firstly as lo us course from Ihe Mendip hilltop into Ihe Chew Valley and secondly as to Us function. This road and some medieval mutes in the ure;i wliidi might have Roman or earlier origins are examined in detail in this paper which also queries Ihe theory that the River Chew was used to transport Roman lead. Fieldwork was aided by the study of documents dating from ihe .sixteenth century held locally and in Ihe United Stales »f America. Fresh information on some archaeological sites on Mendip is given, including newly identified round-barrows, old boundary stones, a pillow mound and Ihe boundary of a medieval warren. INTRODUCTION In all ages since the neolithic farming communities became settled there has been a need for both local communication between habitation sites and access to resources. The elaborately constructed wooden trackways, dated to the Neolithic, Bronze Age and Iron Age periods, found in the peat moors south of the Mendip Hills, suggest a planned communication system with connections to other areas. Iron Age settlement on Ihe central Mendip plateau in caves, enclosures and hill-forts is confined to the edges of the escarpment but there is a dispersed pattern of farmsteads in the surrounding valleys, There is evidence of bronze and iron working at these .sites but there was only a limited use of lead in the Iron Age.

Hinkley Point C Connection En020001 Written
HINKLEY POINT C CONNECTION EN020001 WRITTEN REPRESENTATION ON BEHALF OF BADGWORTH PARISH COUNCIL REF 10029585 COMPTON BISHOP PARISH COUNCIL REF 10029624 MARK PARISH COUNCIL REF10029583 Mr C White Senior Case Manager Hinkley Point C Connection Major Applications and Plans Directorate The Planning Inspectorate Temple Quay House Temple Quay Bristol BS1 6PN Dear Mr White, The following statement is submitted on behalf of three Parish Councils who have been working in conjunction with mutual interests and concerns for the last five years in relationship to National Grid’s proposal for a 400-000KV transmission overhead line from Hinkley Point C to Seabank. Part of this transmission will run through the three parishes. From the start of National Grid’s consultation in 2009, the three Parish Councils have objected to this transmission proposal. Introduction We have been advised to submit a joint written representation to highlight our common concerns and objections to this proposal. We urge the examining panel to also read the individual written representations for more details and evidence on the effects that this proposed transmission will have on each of our communities and landscape. The Parish Councils are the duly elected representatives of their parishes which lie in Section B and Section C on the Somerset Levels and in the Mendip Hills AONB. In responding to National Grid’s options for the Hinkley Point C Connection Project it was believed that they had 3 key roles to play. These were; 1) To ensure that local people were properly consulted, 2) To reflect their views on the adequacy of consultation and on the information provided in responding to National Grid 3) To inform other relevant statutory consultees of the views of their electorate including those of the Councils.
