Somerset Local Transport Plan 2006-2011 VISION, OBJECTIVES & PRIORITIES - 1 15 Somerset Local Transport Plan 2006-2011 1 VISION, OBJECTIVES & PRIORITIES 1 VISION, OBJECTIVES & PRIORITIES Our vision for transport in Somerset builds upon the overarching community strategy 'vision' of the Somerset Strategic Partnership for 2025: Somerset Strategic Partnership Vision "A dynamic, successful, modern economy that supports, respects and develops Somerset's distinctive communities and unique environments". 1.1 TRANSPORT OBJECTIVES The National shared priorities for transport form the basis of our objectives for this LTP which are set out below. We have adopted environmental objectives to reflect Somerset’s unique landscape, heritage and biodiversity, and have also adopted economic objectives to reflect the regional priority for investment in our larger growth centres as well as the community strategy vision for economic regeneration. Improve safety for all who travel by meeting the following objectives: Reducing traffic accidents with a particular emphasis on killed and seriously injured casualties and rural main roads; and Reducing fear of crime in all aspects of the transport network. Reduce social exclusion and improve access to everyday facilities by meeting the following objectives: Improving access to work, learning, healthcare, food-shops and other services; Improving access to the countryside and recreation; and Facilitating the better co-ordination of activities of other authorities to improve accessibility of services.

Appendix 6: Energy Sector Detailed Report What This Area of Work
Appendix 6: Energy Sector Detailed Report What This Area of Work Covers The focus of this area of work is: • Energy conservation and energy efficiency; • Increasing levels of low carbon and renewable energy generation and storage; • Facilitating the transition to a smart, flexible energy system. A zero-carbon world is predominantly electric. Power generation from clean renewable and low carbon sources will need to accelerate to support the increase in electrical demand resulting from the electrification and decarbonisation of heat and transport. Due to the increased role of electricity, the existing capacity issues on the distribution network will need to be addressed. A whole systems approach to energy is required, integrating energy conservation, efficiency, heat, power and transport supported by a smart, resilient and flexible grid network with greater participation from consumers. The transition to a zero-carbon economy can address the energy trilemma (security of supply, affordability and environmental sustainability), making the UK’s energy system: • Integrated: The energy system needs to be smart, resilient and secure, • Affordable: The energy system will be affordable, to alleviate fuel poverty and allow businesses to be competitive, • Zero carbon: The energy system needs to decarbonise by 2050 to meet legally binding targets. Local authorities are in a key position to enable the transition and to demonstrate leadership and we have the following recommended outcomes for Somerset: Page 1 of 30 • DEVELOP AND DELIVER AN ENERGY PLAN FOR SOMERSET- ROADMAP TO DECARBONISING THE ENERGY SYSTEM IN SOMERSET. WHOLE SYSTEMS APPROACH (BUILDINGS, HEAT, TRANSPORT AND POWER GENERATION). • LOCAL AUTHORITY ENERGY PERFORMANCE IS SMARTER, MORE EFFICIENT AND ELIMINATES THE USE OF FOSSIL FUELS FOR HEATING AND TRANSPORT BY 2030 (ESTATE AND OPERATIONS) • 100% OF LOCAL AUTHORITY ENERGY DEMAND IS MET THROUGH LOCALLY GENERATED AND LOCALLY OWNED LOW CARBON AND RENEWABLE ENERGY BY 2030 (ESTATE AND OPERATIONS). -

Britons and Anglo-Saxons: Lincolnshire Ad 400-650
The Archaeological Journal Book Reviews BRITONS AND ANGLO-SAXONS: LINCOLNSHIRE AD 400-650. By Thomas Green. Pp. xvi and 320, Illus 48. The History of Lincolnshire Committee (Studies in the History of Lincolnshire, 3), 2012. Price: £17.95. ISBN 978 090266 825 6. Following the completion of the History of Lincolnshire Committee’s admirable twelve- volume history of the county, this book represents the third of a new series of more detailed studies of the region. Based upon his Ph D thesis, Thomas Green addresses the extent of Anglo-Saxon acculturation of Lincolnshire in the centuries following the withdrawal of the Roman legions, and the late survival of the British kingdom of Lindsey, centred on Lincoln. Despite Lincolnshire’s vulnerability to mass Germanic migration — according to traditional models — the substantial mid-fifth-century and later Anglo-Saxon cremation cemeteries, for which the county is famous, form a broad ring around Lincoln itself, which has little evidence for Anglo-Saxon activity until the mid-seventh century. Lincoln and its hinterland are instead characterized by British practice, particularly metalwork, which is extremely unusual for eastern England. The city is recorded as a metropolitan see in AD 314, and there is archaeological evidence for Romano-British continuity at the church of St Paul-in-the-Bail. Green favours a settlement model derived from Gildas, whereby the post-Roman British kings (‘tyrants’) of Lincoln directed and controlled Anglo-Saxon settlement in the county, potentially employing the migrants as mercenaries, although the argument that their major cremation cemeteries were located on strategic routes into the city is simplistically handled (pp. -

Somerset County Council Passenger Transport Strategy 2018
Somerset County Council Passenger Transport Strategy 2018 - 2026 Draft for Consultation: August 2018 1 Executive Summary Somerset is a challenging area in which to provide viable and sustainable passenger transport services. Owing to its rural aspect it has high car ownership and usage, which leads to congestion ‘hot spots’ at peak hours. The diverse array of settlements, ranging from small rural villages to the densely populated urban areas of Bridgwater, Taunton and Yeovil; and the dispersed population mean that commercial bus operation is extremely marginal or non-viable in many areas. Somerset County Council strives to deliver an integrated quality bus, community transport and rail network by working with public service operators, community transport groups and other transport providers within the County and where possible to promote sustainable community solutions to enable improved access in rural areas. This Passenger Transport strategy forms part of the Local Transport Plan for Somerset (2011-2026) which we call the ‘Future Transport Plan’. Public transport is defined as all modes where passengers do not rely on their own transport. This includes bus, coach and rail services, and other forms of transport such as private coaches, school buses, taxis, Demand Responsive Transport (DRT) and Community Transport (CT). The principle underpinning this strategy is to provide services and develop infrastructure that meets the needs of our customers: the residents of, employees based within, and visitors to Somerset. An effective passenger transport network is essential to give people, in both the urban and rural areas of Somerset, access to the opportunities and benefits that contribute to the enjoyment of a better quality of life. -
Land Or Gold? Changing Perceptions of Landscape in Viking Age Lincolnshire
assemblage 11 (2011): 15-33 Land or Gold? Changing Perceptions of Landscape in Viking Age Lincolnshire by LETTY TEN HARKEL This paper looks at the relationship between political conflict and changing perceptions of landscape in England between the ninth and early eleventh centuries AD, focusing on the modern county of Lincolnshire. The period between the ninth and early eleventh centuries AD was a period of continuous conflict, characterised by the Viking raids and subsequent Scandinavian settlement, followed by the unification of England as a result of the West Saxon expansion, and its subsequent conquest by the kings of Denmark. Using different types of material culture, including settlements, metal dress-accessories and funerary sculpture, this paper addresses the relationship between foreign settlement and/or territorial expansion, and the commoditisation of land and its effect on landscape perception. Keywords: Lincolnshire, Viking, conflict archaeology, landscape archaeology, material culture. Introduction initial Viking raids that were documented by ecclesiastical chroniclers indeed fit this profile. The Anglo-Saxon period witnessed some major The first recorded Viking attacks on England, changes in the structure of the English which was then still divided into a number of landscape.
