FINHAM NEWSLETTER 6Th Edition October 2020 FINHAM NEWSLETTER 6th Edition October 2020 Your joint newsletter with updates from: Finham Parish Council Finham Community Library Finham Residents Association Finham Neighbourhood Watch 1 Chairman’s Welcome I hope everyone is coping reasonably well with the coronavirus/covid 19. It cannot be easy for those who have/are housebound as a result and it would be pleasing if some of the younger residents and school children of Finham took the situation a little more seriously than some of them have done so far. What they do not seem to realise is that their health may not be affected but they could still become carriers if care is not taken in which case they may become responsible for infecting their older relatives who might becoming very ill or worse. Coventry City Council Local Plan 2014-2031 I think it was Harold Wilson who coined the phrase “a week is a long time in politics”. Well since our last newsletter a great deal has happened and as I am becoming accustomed to expect, it is generally bad news. As far as the Kings Hill situation is concerned, there is a detailed account later in this newsletter. If anyone wishes to know more or seeks clarity on any points, please email me and I shall try to provide any extra detail and/or clarity needed – [email protected] Andy Street, The Mayor of the West Midlands, along with the Coventry City Conservative Councillors started a petition to encourage Coventry City Council (CCC) to review its Local Plan which as we all know is deeply flawed. This petition, with 6,500 signatures was presented to the CCC at their monthly meeting on Tuesday 8th September, held via Zoom by Gary Ridley leader of the Conservatives who are also vehemently opposed to the 2014 Local Plan which is based on a 32% population explosion up to the year 2031. Before he presented the petition Gary addressed the crowd that had gathered outside the Council House and stated his belief that the best way to rectify a clear mistake by the Office for National Statistics, was to push for a reassessment of the CCC Local Plan which has been indicated for March 2021. Only then can we hope for realistic projections – hopefully! The CCC will only reconsider the Local Plan if they believe there has been considerable change from the current Local Plan. Since the current Local Plan is based on a 32% population explosion, a change to this plan is essential and will only happen if this council is persuaded to do so. 2 Such a review will only happen if CCC is persuaded to do so. If it believes 32% increase it is likely to see there is no need to update and make more realistic, the plan they are working to now. If you believe in the preservation of the greenbelt/greenfield which is likely to disappear as a result of the ONS projections, then get involved. Do not complain later when it is all too late. My only hope is that Kings Hill and the many other greenbelt, ex-greenbelt and greenfield sites can hold out until next year when the CCC might reconsider! It is doubtful the CCC has considered all available brownfield sites which should be the first consideration when representing the electorate in Coventry. Certainly, it is unlikely a developer would favour such a concept. It is cheaper, easier and more profitable to build on greenfield and greenbelt. The greenbelt being created in the mid-1950s to prevent urban sprawl. How long will it be before Kenilworth becomes a suburb now that Kings Hill appears to have been condemned. Zoom Since our first Zoom meeting held on 21st May we have held one each month, except for August when we all took a break. Our next meeting is on Thursday 17th September starting at 7.00pm.

She talked about the plans for next year’s City of Culture. Although things have obviously been affected by Corona Virus, preparations are being made and support given to the arts sector in Coventry and the wider area. The intention is to involve a wide range of Coventry residents in planning and taking part in the diverse events taking place . Further information can be found at https://coventry2021.co.uk/contact-us/ 4 Police & Crime – Councillor Mrs Angela Fryer The latest crime figures for July 2020 are as follows There have been cars stolen from the drive in the Stivichall area and we would urge residents to make sure that cars are secure, and nothing left in the vehicles overnight. The Neighbourhood Watch in our area continues to be very successful and the rapid sharing of information and CCTV footage plays an important role. If you have CCTV and have not registered it on the database, we would encourage you to do so. If you email [email protected] you will be given all of the information that you need. Thanks as always to Tony Swann who works tirelessly for our Community. In Finham we have a well-established Street Watch which was set up by Ruth Khan. Unfortunately Ruth is unable to continue her role at present but has asked me to pass on this message:- Due to a sudden period of ill health mixed with what’s been a tough time as a health care worker, I have made the decision to step down as SW coordinator for the Wainbody ward. The decision was not easy and one I battled over for a couple of months however it is the right decision in order for me to get my health back to where it needs to be physically. I appreciate the support from all who supported SW and I know the local PCSO will be arranging for a new coordinator asap. I also know there remain open positions as a volunteer too. If anyone is interested in joining, the email to do so is: [email protected] 5 I think all Residents will join with me in thanking Ruth for the untiring support she has given us and we wish her a speedy recovery. During this difficult time of the COVID pandemic it is good to see the Community spirit in Finham and to know that people look out for each other. • Kings Hill Development – Councillor Davies As everyone knows by now, the Rt. Hon. Robert Jenrick, Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government (SoS) has refused to ‘call in’ the planning permissions produced by both Warwick District Council (WDC) and Coventry City Council (CCC) for Kings Hill as it is considered important and necessary that local decisions should be taken at local level which puts us all in the hands of WDC and CCC. The assistants to the SoS (the Finham Parish Council having not received the curtesy of a professional and direct response to our 4 letters) state that the SoS would only intervene if there were extenuating and unusual circumstances appertaining to the Kings Hill development. So, we can only conclude that he agrees with the Office for National Statistics projection of a 32% population increase between the years 2014 and 2031. Presumably, this now makes just the four organisations, WDC, CCC, Office for National Statistics (ONS) and the SoS that believe such an incredible projection. All the local organisations in the Coventry, Warwickshire, West Midlands and our local Members of Parliament, that have objected to the SoS in writing have been overruled.

  • Finham Parish Council – New Parish Council Created – the Story of How a New Parish Council Was Created in a Previously Un-Parished Area of Coventry
    Finham Parish Council – New Parish Council Created – The Story Of How A New Parish Council Was Created In A Previously Un-Parished Area Of Coventry Headlines Finham is a suburb, south from the city of Coventry, in the West Midlands. This case study tells the story of how the Finham Residents Association triggered a Community Governance Review and established a parish council. The case study provides an example of good practice for campaigns aspiring to set up a parish council, outlining key elements of success as well as some of the challenges faced by the Finham campaign and how these were overcome. Currently Finham is due to have its first elections in May 2016 and over the past months the main focus of campaign organisers has been to encourage residents to stand for election. Why A Council Is Wanted The development of a new housing estate raised concern among the residents of Finham, due to the increased volume of traffic, with roads being unable to accommodate the additional amount of vehicles, as well as the additional strain on schools and underdeveloped public transport. Although Finham Residents’ Association opposed the developments, it was felt that residents would have more say in the development plans of the area through the creation of a parish council. Furthermore, the parish council could also undertake projects and schemes, working in partnership with other bodies and scrutinising the principal authority with the scope of improving service delivery and ensuring that the needs of residents are being met, improving their representation at local government level. Contextual issues related to the theme Finham is a suburb, south from the city of Coventry, in the West Midlands.

  • Study of the Effects of Secondary School Admissions Policies on House Prices in One Local Area
    J. R. Statist. Soc. A (2003) 166, Part 1, pp. 135–154 Is comprehensive education really free?: a case- study of the effects of secondary school admissions policies on house prices in one local area Dennis Leech and Erick Campos University of Warwick, Coventry, UK [Received December 2001. Revised June 2002] Summary. The paper reports on a study that tests the anecdotal hypothesis that parents are willing to pay a premium to secure places for their children in popular and oversubscribed com- prehensive schools. Since many local education authorities use admissions policies that are based on catchment areas and places in popular schools are very difficult to obtain from out- side these areas—but very easy from within them—parents have an incentive to move house for the sake of their children’s education.This would be expected to be reflected in house prices. The study uses a cross-sectional sample based on two popular schools in one local education authority area, Coventry. Differences in quality of housing are dealt with by using the technique of hedonic regression and differences in location by sample selection within a block sample design. The sample was chosen from a limited number of locations spanning different catch- ment areas to reduce both observable and unobservable variability in nuisance effects while maximizing the variation in catchment areas. The results suggest that there are strong school catchment area effects. For one of the two popular schools we find a 20% premium and for the other a 16% premium on house prices ceteris paribus. Keywords: Coventry; Hedonic price functions; House prices; Sample design; Schools 1.

  • The History of Kenilworth Castle 12Th Century
    THE HISTORY OF KENILWORTH CASTLE 12TH CENTURY - When and why people first created the site Kenilworth Castle was founded in the early 1120s by Geoffrey de Clinton, Lord Chamberlain and treasurer to Henry I Clinton was a local rival to Roger de Beaumont, the Earl of Warwick and owner of the neighbouring Warwick Castle, and the king made Clinton the sheriff in Warwickshire to act as a counterbalance to Beaumont's power. Henry I’s son had died and so he needed to show that he was powerful even though he did not have an heir The castle's original form is uncertain. It has been suggested that it consisted of a motte, an earthen mound surmounted by wooden buildings; however, the stone great tower may have been part of the original design. Henry II (Henry I’s grandson)succeeded to the throne at the end of a Civil war that lasted from 1135 to 1154 but during the revolt of 1173–74 he faced a significant uprising led by his son, Henry, backed by the French crown. The conflict spread across England and Kenilworth was garrisoned by Henry II's forces; By this point Kenilworth Castle consisted of the great keep, the inner bailey wall, a basic causeway across the smaller lake that preceded the creation of the Great Mere, and the local chase for hunting. De Clinton’s Keep. Windows were added much later, these would have been arrow slits and fishtail arrow slits in the original keep. THE HISTORY OF KENILWORTH CASTLE 13TH CENTURY – King John - Henry's successor, Richard I, paid relatively little attention to Kenilworth, but under King John significant building resumed at the castle.
