Introduction Gloucestershire’s Local Area Agreement is now in its second year. This refreshed LAA builds on the strong foundations provided by our recently-agreed Sustainable Community Strategy, and on the priorities we set out in our first Local Area Agreement. This last year has seen partners focussing their efforts on the outcomes agreed at the beginning of April 2007. Partners have worked together to target issues ranging from reducing anti-social behaviour to promoting renewable energy installations and increasing the number of adults gaining NVQ2-level qualifications. In some areas partners have achieved national acclaim – Gloucestershire’s Warm and Well scheme has been held up as a national exemplar by DeFRA – and in all areas we have worked to join up our efforts to tackle what is important to local people. Over the coming three years partners will work to improve outcomes for children, support people back into work, improve skills for all age groups, reduce smoking, support carers, help older people to live more independent lives, tackle fuel poverty, address the causes and consequences of climate change, tackle crime and the fear of crime, and continue to make Gloucestershire a place where people want to live, work and visit. This document is only the beginning – it represents the first three years of the 10-year vision set out in the Gloucestershire’s Sustainable Community Strategy. The challenge now is to deliver those aims, remain focussed and continue to work together to improve the quality of life in Gloucestershire. We are grateful to all those partners who have used their knowledge and expertise to help to shape this agreement, have led and contributed to the development of priority outcomes and targets and have committed resources and effort to making real improvements for local people. 3 2. Gloucestershire Today: the Gloucestershire Story Gloucestershire is a great place to live and work – a place to be proud of. We have a healthy, thriving and balanced economy; there are high levels of social well-being with most people enjoying a good quality of life; and a natural and built environment which can offers idyllic countryside settings in close proximity to urban centres and villages rich in history and culture. Gloucestershire is essentially a large rural shire county with the two urban centres of Gloucester and Cheltenham lying at its heart. The county is home to several areas of outstanding natural beauty, including one of the largest in the country. However, we know that we face a number of challenges that we will have to tackle in order to maintain this high quality of life for future generations. Gloucestershire is a popular destination for affluent in-migrants looking to retire and have an improved quality of life. As a result the County has an increasingly ‘ageing population’ – a trend which is set to continue over the next 25 years and therefore creating an added pressure for public services. Growth will need to be managed in a sustainable way, particularly in relation to the County’s infrastructure. Policy decisions need to consider how best to sustain this idyllic rural setting while addressing the needs of the local population. Remote parts of the County see a high and increasing dependency on the use of car both to travel to work and for leisure. With a surplus of employment in the County’s urban core there is considerable movement between districts. While the County as a whole is relatively affluent with low unemployment, above average educational attainment and relatively good health, we know that the same is not true for everyone, or indeed every part of Gloucestershire. There are areas with high levels of deprivation, mainly in the urban centres of Gloucester and Cheltenham, but also in smaller and more dispersed pockets in rural areas. One of our challenges is to improve outcomes in these areas whilst maintaining already high performance as a whole. In the summer of 2007 Gloucestershire experienced a flooding emergency that provided a stark reminder of the impact of Climate Change and the need to have strong strategies in place to build resilience through mitigation and adaptation. We also know that we will need to tackle these issues within an increasingly challenging context in terms of resources. This will mean we will need to work even harder with partners to identify ways of providing services more efficiently and in a more joined-up way. This will demand creativity, determination and a strong commitment to working together. For this reason, we see the LAA as 4 an important vehicle for change. As a result, the theme of preserving a high quality of life while tackling those issues that could threaten our future has strongly influenced the development of this LAA and our choice of priorities and targets. The full version of the Gloucestershire Story is available online at http://www.gloucestershire.gov.uk/media/adobe_acrobat/i/5/County%20Story.pdf 5 3. Our Place: Our Future Gloucestershire has recently agreed a new Sustainable Community Strategy that sets the ten-year vision and overall direction for this LAA. The strategy has a strong focus on sustainable development. Its vision is for Gloucestershire to be a place where: the actions we all take today mean that Gloucestershire remains a great place to live and work, and we do not compromise the quality of life for future generations The five aims of the strategy are for Gloucestershire to be: A place where the future matters A place where communities matter A place where everyone matters A place where people want to live A place that thrives Each of these aims is supported by specific targets within the Local Area Agreement, making sure that our medium term plans support our long-term vision. However, we also recognise the need to set specific long term goals to make sure that we are on track to achieve the aims of the strategy. Since its inception, the Gloucestershire Strategic Partnership has used a broad set of Quality of Life indicators to provide a means of monitoring the overall performance and direction of travel of Gloucestershire as a whole. The GSP is now in the process of agreeing a new set of 10-year targets, building on Quality of Life indicators and the new National Indicator Set. Wherever possible, LAA targets will act as medium term milestones against these long-term trajectories. 6 4. Bridging the themes: How we are dealing with cross-cutting issues From the very earliest stages of developing this Local Area Agreement, partners have been keen to avoid dealing with each of the themes in isolation. Whilst we have retained a governance structure that reflects the 5 themes, we want to use the themes to drive improvements for local people, without being restricted by them. As a result of this early deliberation, two cross-cutting themes were identified which will underpin all outcomes of the local area agreement. These are: Equalities Sustainability. The Equalities Statement and Sustainability Statement below set out how we see these key underpinning principles being integrated into the LAA. 7 Equalities Statement Principles and Commitment The underlying vision of the Local Area Agreement ‘narrowing the gap’ implicitly demands that its planning and delivery engages with and addresses the needs of Gloucestershire’s most disadvantaged and excluded communities. The county of Gloucestershire and the communities within it have differing backgrounds and needs, and as partners we support and celebrate this diversity. Each of the geographic areas is unique with its own individual culture and heritage. This diversity within our communities adds to the richness of the county and is a source of great potential that can benefit the whole of Gloucestershire. It is our duty to promote equality of opportunity. As partners we must understand the differing needs of our various communities and ensure that the people of Gloucestershire have equal access to the services we seek to provide. In support of this aim, we will promote the use of Equality Impact Assessments. This will inform decision-makers of the likely impact that their policies and procedures may have on the various communities. The process will identify whether any group or individual will be disadvantaged by reason of 6 main equalities strands: age, disability, gender, race, religion or belief and sexual orientation. It will provide a focus for consultation and reassessment of the proposed actions. In achieving this objective, we are mindful of legislative and best practice initiatives, but seek to encourage achievement beyond the required standards. In particular, we will embrace the duties under the Race Relations Amendment Act 2000 and the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 and 2005. We are committed to eliminating racial discrimination, promoting Equal Opportunities and promoting good relations between different racial groups. We will also promote equal opportunities for disabled people, eliminate unlawful discrimination and/or harassment of disabled people, promote positive attitudes towards disabled people, encourage the participation of disabled people in public life and take steps to take account of a person’s disability.

  • Ledbury to Gloucester Copy Better
    Ledbury to Gloucester Railway Ledbury to Gloucester by rail Taken from David Postle’s book of the same name and is seen through the eyes of the Driver and Fireman of the last passenger train on the branch on the 11th July 1959. The driver was Jack Folley and the fireman Jim Kavanagh. Jim checked the fire again and looked at the pressure gauge, and decided that he ought to put a little more coal on the fire. He picked up his shovel, opened the fire hole doors and placed half a dozen shovelfuls round the firebox, turned on the injector again because he knew that shortly he would be stopping at Barber’s Bridge with a minute or two in hand to gain any pressure that might be lost by putting more water into the boiler. He picked up a little hand brush and swept the coal dust from the floorboards of the cab. ‘Even when the railway was opened, no attempt was made to advertise the new service. It wasn’t until the end of August that the G.W.R. advertised a summer excursion from Cheltenham to Malvern via Newest. The line was obviously considered important by some because, in the sales particulars of property on the market at that time, the proximity to the new railway was very often stressed’ ‘Did the railway look as though it might fulfil its potential’, asked Jim. ‘Early newspaper reports were very optimistic. The first five weeks saw over 2000 passengers booked at Newest and just over half that at Dymock.’ ‘Talking in the early days,’ said Jim, ‘the guard told me at Ledbury that we have an elderly gentleman on board who travelled on the first train, and here he is, on the last one over the Branch.’ ‘Is that right? I suppose it just goes to show how short-lived this Branch has been.’ ‘Whilst on the subject of people, did I tell you about Dick Nash?’ asked Jack.

  • In 1968. the Report Consists of the Following Parts: L the Northgate Turnpike Roads 2 Early Administration and the Turnpike Trust
    Reprinted from: Gloucestershire Society for Industrial Archaeology Journal for 1971 pages 1-58 [This edition was reprinted in 1987 by the Author in Hong Kong with corrections and revised pagination] THE NQRIH§AIE.IHBNBlKE N SPRY For more than one hundred and seventy years the road from the city of Gloucester to the top of Birdlip Hill, and the road which branched eastwards from it up Crickley Hill towards Oxford and later London, was maintained from the proceeds of the various turnpikes or toll gates along it. This report examines the history and administration of these roads from their earliest period to the demise of the Turnpike Trust in l87l and also details excavations across the road at Wotton undertaken in 1968. The report consists of the following Parts: l The Northgate Turnpike roads 2 Early administration and the Turnpike Trust 3 Tolls, exemptions and traffic 4 Road materials 5 Excavations at Wotton 1968 I Summary II The Excavations III Discussion References 1 IHE.NQBIH§AIE.BQADfi The road to Gloucester from Cirencester and the east is a section of the Roman road known as Ermine Street. The line of this road from Brockworth to Wotton has been considered to indicate a Severn crossing at Kingsholm one Km north of Gloucester, where, as late as the seventeenth century, a major branch of the river flowed slightly west of modern Kingsholm. The extent of early Roman archaeological material from Kingsholm makes it likely to have been a military site early in the Roman period. (l) Between Wotton Hill and Kingsholm this presumed line is lost; the road possibly passed through the grounds of Hillfield House and along the ridge, now marked by Denmark Road, towards the river.

  • The Battle for May Hill’ by Marion Shoard
    ‘The Battle for May Hill’ by Marion Shoard Published in the Newsletter of the Friends of the Dymock Poets, Issue no. 59, Summer 2013 May Hill is probably the most important geographical feature for the Friends of the Dymock Poets. The poets derived their inspiration from the countryside around them. As they walked and talked together along the field paths and lanes, they constantly got their bearings from that unmistakable, reassuring upturned saucer with its fuzz of pines atop – May Hill. As Edward Thomas recalled in his essay about the Dymock country, ‘This England’: ‘Again and again we saw, instead of solid things, dark or bright, never more than half a mile off, the complete broad dome of a high hill six miles distant, a beautiful hill itself, but especially seen thus, always unexpectedly, through gaps in this narrow country, as through a window’. Several FDP walks have taken in May Hill, where members have read aloud ‘Words’, the delightful poem which Edward Thomas composed from its slopes while on a cycling trip with John Haines, the Gloucester solicitor and amateur botanist who joined the poets on many of their walks-talks. In view of this connection, when FDP member Alexander Maltby, who lives on May Hill, contacted the FDP about a plan to build a five-bedroom mansion on an isolated site on its slopes, the committee was concerned. Alas, we do not have the capacity to check every planning application, so we can deal only with selected cases. Barbara Davis and I were the first committee members to go and visit the site, and this is the submission which Jeff Cooper, our chair, sent in on behalf of the FDP to Forest of Dean District Council, which will grant or withhold planning consent.

  • Communications Roads Cheltenham Lies on Routes Connecting the Upper Severn Vale with the Cotswolds to the East and Midlands to the North
    DRAFT – VCH Gloucestershire 15 [Cheltenham] Communications Roads Cheltenham lies on routes connecting the upper Severn Vale with the Cotswolds to the east and Midlands to the north. Several major ancient routes passed nearby, including the Fosse Way, White Way and Salt Way, and the town was linked into this important network of roads by more local, minor routes. Cheltenham may have been joined to the Salt Way running from Droitwich to Lechlade1 by Saleweistrete,2 or by the old coach road to London, the Cheltenham end of which was known as Greenway Lane;3 the White Way running north from Cirencester passed through Sandford.4 The medieval settlement of Cheltenham was largely ranged along a single high street running south-east and north-west, with its church and manorial complex adjacent to the south, and burgage plots (some still traceable in modern boundaries) running back from both frontages.5 Documents produced in the course of administering the liberty of Cheltenham refer to the via regis, the king’s highway, which is likely to be a reference to this public road running through the liberty. 6 Other forms include ‘the royal way at Herstret’ and ‘the royal way in the way of Cheltenham’ (in via de Cheltenham). Infringements recorded upon the via regis included digging and ploughing, obstruction with timbers and dungheaps, the growth of trees and building of houses.7 The most important local roads were those running from Cheltenham to Gloucester, and Cheltenham to Winchcombe, where the liberty administrators were frequently engaged in defending their lords’ rights. Leland described the roads around Cheltenham, Gloucester and Tewkesbury as ‘subject to al sodeyne risings of Syverne, so that aftar reignes it is very foule to 1 W.S.

  • Excavations at Stallards Place, Dymock, 2007
    Trans. Bristol & Gloucestershire Archaeological Society 131 (2013), 93–102 Excavations at Stallards Place, Dymock, 2007 by ANDREW SIMMONDS with contributions by PAUL BLINKHORN, PAUL BOOTH, WENDY SMITH and LENA STRID INTRODUCTION During April and May 2007 Oxford Archaeology conducted an excavation at Stallards Place, Dymock, at OS Nat. Grid SO 6986 3133 (Fig. 1). This work was commissioned by CgMs Consulting on behalf of Ten Estates and Developments, in advance of construction of new housing on land that was formerly the grounds of Stallards Place. The site comprised part of the gardens surrounding the house and a former orchard to the south. The excavation was undertaken in accordance with a condition attached to the planning permission for the development by Forest of Dean District Council. The modern village of Dymock is believed to stand at the junction of two Roman roads, where a road leading from the fort and settlement at Stretton Grandison (Herefs.) to a possible crossing of the River Severn south of Tewkesbury is joined by a possible road extending southward toward Gloucester (Catchpole 2007b, 133–4). The presence of a Roman settlement at Dymock has been recognised since at least the start of the 20th century as a result of the discovery of chance finds and structural remains throughout the village (Gethyn-Jones 1966; Leech 1981, 31) and, more recently, by more formal excavations at Winserdine and Rose Cottage (Taverner 2001), the Rectory (Simmonds 2007) and the Sewage Treatment Works (Catchpole 2007a). The settlement has been tentatively identified with the settlement ofMacatonium , which is recorded in the Ravenna Cosmography as lying on the route between Gloucester and Kenchester (Herefs.) (Gethyn-Jones 1966, 11; Rivet and Smith 1979, 361–2, 404–5).
