  • Stroud District Local Plan: Policies Consultation
    The Painswick Beacon Sine praeiudicio Volume 36 Number 1 April 2013 Painswick Post Office The Beacon has been informed by the Parish Council that the Council has been notified by Post Office Ltd that, as a result of the premises at Westhaven House in New Street being no longer available for Post Office use, following the resignation of the postmistress, the branch closed on 23rd March. Post Office Ltd, in its letter dated 25th March, has apologised for the late notification. Mr Neil Jenkins, Post Office Ltd’s Field Change Advisor, has written to the Parish Council with an assurance that Post Office Ltd is currently investigating the options available which will enable the reinstatement of a Post Office service to the local community. Mr Jenkins goes on to say that “In exploring this, it is important that any future service is sustainable for the person operating the service and for Post Office Ltd. Future provision will reflect customer numbers and usage and we may take the opportunity to establish an alternative type of service. This may be a new style branch known as a Post Office local. Post Office locals run alongside an established shop and create a more modern and convenient retail experience for customers in newly refurbished premises”. The Beacon understands that the creation of the new Post Office could not be effected in less than four to six months. Mr Jenkins writes that he wishes to apologise for the inconvenience the temporary closure may cause. He hopes that Post Office Ltd’s customers will continue to use the Post Office services in the area and that he will write again to the Parish Council once he has any news about Post Office Ltd’s plans for future service provision.

    Councillor submissions to the Cotswold Council electoral review This PDF document contains 4 submissions from Councillors. Some versions of Adobe allow the viewer to move quickly between bookmarks. Click on the submission you would like to view. If you are not taken to that page, please scroll through the document. Dear Sir. I write in support of the Compton Abdale Parish Meeting who have written asking for Compton Abdale to be placed in the new Chedworth and Churn Valley ward of Cotswold District Council. For the past 10 years I have been the Cotswold District Councillor for the Chedworth Ward covering Chedworth, Compton Abdale, Dowdeswell, Withington and Yanworth. I am indeed the only person who has been CDC Councillor for the Chedworth Ward as prior to my election Withington and Dowdeswell were in Sandywell Ward while Chedworth, Compton Abdale and Yanworth were in Fossehill Ward. Having attended the vast majority of Parish Council meetings and Parish Meetings at Withington, Yanworth, Dowdeswell Chedworth and Compton Abdale during that time, I must say that the issues facing Compton Abdale generally mirror those facing Chedworth and Yanworth rather than those facing Withington and Dowdeswell. Compton Abdale has close links with Yanworth to the East. Much of Compton Abdale parish and almost all of Yanworth parish as well as much of the northern part of Chedworth parish is in the ownership of the Stowell Park estate. Stowell Park was historically the seat of Lord Chedworth and the social and cultural links have continued to this day. The three Parishes were included in the same section of the 1804 Inclosure award map for this reason and have continued to be within the same CDC Ward since the formation of the Cotswold District Council in 1973/4.

  • Cotswold Way Sg Walk
    ENGLAND – THE COTSWOLD WAY 13-days / 12-nights SELF-GUIDED inn-to-inn walking holiday The lush green Cotswolds rise from the upper Thames valley to an escarpment or ‘edge’ above the Severn valley, with the highest point, Cleeve Hill, just over 300 metres above sea level. It is a quintessentially English landscape – rolling, verdant hills dotted with picturesque villages, medieval churches, stately country homes and ancient ruins. The Cotswold Way National Trail, 102 miles (164km) long, follows the escarpment through the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty from the beautiful market town of Chipping Campden to the World Heritage-listed city of Bath. The walking is delightful, on well-maintained and waymarked footpaths, bridleways and quiet country lanes. The cottages, farmhouses, villages, and small towns of the Cotswolds are particularly attractive as they are mostly built from weathered honey-coloured limestone. You stay in carefully selected guesthouses and B&Bs in unspoilt, quiet hamlets and larger market towns with restaurants, cafés and traditional English pubs. The route takes you past many historic places, including the Tudor-era Sudeley Castle, Neolithic burial chambers and Iron Age hill forts and civil war battle sites. Nearly every village has a medieval church worth visiting. Book early, especially if travelling in the popular months of June and July, to avoid disappointment. Bank holidays and the Badminton horse trials (early May) can affect accommodation availability. Departs: Daily departures year-round – April to October recommended Starts: Chipping Campden Ends: Bath Cost from: $2050 per person twin share Single room supplement from $1100 Supplement for Friday/Saturday night stay in Bath – ask for details Includes: 12 nights’ twin-share ensuite accommodation in carefully selected guesthouses or B&Bs; breakfast daily; inn-to-inn luggage transfers (1 bag per person, maximum weight 20kg); detailed route notes, maps and information pack; emergency assistance.
