South Gloucestershire Council Boundary Review Liberal Democrat Group Submission June 2017
South Gloucestershire Council Boundary Review Liberal Democrat Group Submission June 2017 This submission is from the Liberal Democrat group on South Gloucestershire Council. The Lib Dems are the second largest group on the council, and one of only two to ever have had an overall majority. As such, there is a good understanding of community links, and history, across much of the district. In our submission we have focussed upon the areas where we have deep community roots, stretching back over 40 years. In those areas we know the communities well, so feel we can make submissions which reflect the nuances of natural communities. However, there are some areas where we do feel others are better placed to identify the nuances. In those areas we have not sought to offer detailed solutions. We believe communities and individuals in those areas are best placed to provide their local solutions. We have submitted specific plans for the district over the areas where we have a good understanding, and believe our proposals are powerful, rooted in strong community identities, and efficient local government. All of the proposals are within the permissible variance from the new electoral quota with 61 Councillors, and we do not believe this needs to be modified up or down to make the map work. South Gloucestershire elects in an “all-up” manner, which means under Commission guidance, a mixture of 1, 2, and 3 member wards is appropriate, which we have proposed. We have proposed no ‘doughnut’, or detached wards, and many of the proposals allow for the reunification of communities which have previously been separated by imposed political boundaries. -

Design Statement
PARISH OF OLVESTON – DESIGN STATEMENT OLVESTON, TOCKINGTON, OLD DOWN, INGST, LOWER HAZEL, AWKLEY The Design Statement was written, edited and produced by the Olveston Parish Design Team – an independent group of local volunteers. In January 2002 a public meeting was called by Olveston Parish Conservation Society to discuss inappropriate development in the Parish. Over 115 parishioners attended the meeting. The meeting concluded that the preparation of a Village Design Statement would be a practical step the community could take to set out design principles for new development which would be more in keeping with the character of the parish. A Working Group was established and a questionnaire, seeking views on development related issues, was distributed to all 743 households. Over 30% of households responded. A Web Site was created and drafts of the design statement posted on it. A Community Workshop was held to report findings and to discuss key issues emerging. In January 2003 a full draft of the Design Statement was put on display in the Parish Hall (25th January 2003). All households were invited and over 200 people attended. The Design Statement was launched on 6th March 2004. All households were subsequently provided with a copy. Following the launch the Convenor wrote to South Gloucestershire Council asking that the Design Statement be formally adopted as Supplementary Planning Guidance. Officers of the Council subsequently prepared a report for Executive Decision. The report was published as a proposed decision, which became implementable -

And Myths of Rome's Second Augusta Legion and St Augustine's 'Oak'
Trans. Bristol & Gloucestershire Archaeological Society 129 (2011), 117–137 Aust (Gloucestershire) and Myths of Rome’s Second Augusta Legion and St Augustine’s ‘Oak’ Conference By DAVID H. HIGGINS Introduction Aust in Gloucestershire has long attracted speculation over the origin of its name. The two favoured hypotheses offer an alternative: either (a) this minor ferry terminus with its settlement was named by (or after) the Second Augusta Legion of the Roman army which, stationed in full strength at Isca-Caerleon between c. 78 AD and the 3rd century, would have regularly crossed the Severn estuary from Sedbury to Aust (Augusta the claimed origin of the place-name) in order to access the main Abona (Sea Mills) to Glevum (Gloucester) artery; or (b) was named in memory of the Roman churchman St Augustine (in the later Middle Ages popularly contracted to ‘Austin’) of Canterbury who, in 603 AD (traditional date), held a conference allegedly at or hard by Aust, beneath a landmark oak tree, with leaders of the Christian Church of the autonomous British kingdom nearest to the recently converted Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of Kent.1 The object of Augustine’s conference was to bring about uniformity of practice between the indigenous church of post- Roman Britain and the historic Christian church established by St Peter in the ancient capital of the Roman world. The major subjects of dispute were the British dating of Easter and the form of the baptismal rite (both, the Roman Church urged, should be Roman) and, in addition, Augustine required that the British, although understandably reluctant, should undertake the evangelisation of the pagan Anglo-Saxon invaders of their land. -
