Her funeral was held on 6th August and there is to be a Memorial Tribute to her on 2nd October at the Art Workers Guild in London. Felicity has been the authority on her parents’ lives for many years now and her Obituary in the Independent described her as ‘probably the last close link with the inner circle of extraordinary creative talents fostered or inspired by William Morris’ … her death ‘marks its [the Arts & Crafts movement] formal and final passing’. This first issue of Volume Number VI is a bumper issue full of connections. John Taplin, Andrew Davenport and Tim Clough (Editor of Rutland Local History & Record Society), after their initial queries to the Archive Room, all sent articles on their researches; the pieces on Maye Bruce and Thomas Phillipps are connected with new publications; there is an ‘earthy’ connection between with the Plough, Rutland and Bruce researches and the Phillipps and Whitfield articles both have Shakespeare connections.

Cotswolds Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper,1 Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention,3 we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas North (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which East follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. Yorkshire & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform West their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a East landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage Midlands broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will West also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Midlands East of Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features England that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each London area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental South East Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. South West The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future. NCA profiles are working documents which draw on current evidence and knowledge.

  • Electoral Review of the District of Cotswold
    ELECTORAL REVIEW OF THE DISTRICT OF COTSWOLD WARDING PATTERNS SUBMISSION TO THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOUNDARY COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND BY THE CDC CONSERVATIVE GROUP 1. Introduction 1.1 This submission is made in response to the announcement of the Local Government Boundary Commission for England that it was minded to recommend that Cotswold District Council should have 35 councillors in the future (from May 2015), and an invitation for interested parties to submit warding patterns based on that recommended future number of councillors. 1.2 It is, however, noted that some flexibility may be considered by the Commission (usually one additional or one fewer councillor) if such a proposal was to better reflect the key review criteria of (i) elector equality; (ii) community identity/interest; and (iii) effective and convenient local government. 1.3 This submission is also framed around the Council’s request for, and the Commission’s acceptance of, a desire to achieve a uniform pattern of single-member wards, if at all possible. 1.4 This submission also takes account of, and builds on, the outcome of the Community Governance Review of parish arrangements undertaken by the District Council (completed in advance of the warding proposals element of the District Review). 2. Our Approach 2.1 Commission Guidance 2.1.1 This submission seeks to reflect the Commission’s Guidance Document ‘How to propose a pattern of wards’. 2.1.2 In particular, regard has been had to the following three key criteria advanced by the Commission: electoral equality - any new pattern of wards should mean that each councillor represents roughly the same number of voters as elected members elsewhere in the authority; community identity/interest - ward patterns should, as far as possible, reflect community interests and identities, and boundaries should be identifiable; effective and convenient local government - the electoral arrangements should enable effective representation of voters.
