Presentation 1: Big Conversation – Tom Dodd Commissioning Data Analysis and intelligence Manager Shropshire Council 5.1 Tom Dodds commented that over the past few years, central government has and continues to severely cut the funding it gives to local authorities. As a result of this, Shropshire Council has been working hard to maintain quality services for Shropshire people within a reducing budget. Since 2009, we have responded to these cuts and have made efficiency savings of £146m, through redesigning our services in more cost effective ways. Now there is a need to do even more. 5.2 By 2021, the £43m revenue support grant we receive from central government will end and we estimate that the Council will be around £80m worse off due to the falling income coming in to the council and rising costs. 5.3 Therefore Shropshire council as over the last 6 months have launched the Big Conversation to consult with the general public the results of which were given in a presentation (for copies of the presentation please contact Tracy Johnson) 5.4 The key messages from the consultation so far is that Adult social care are a fundamental issue. The respondents generally agree with principles of protecting some services and cutting back on others. 3 There is support the idea of increasing income. In workshops participants felt that Town and Parish Councils should be working together more to deliver services locally. A strong desire to see enhanced voluntary involvement in delivering services. 5.5 Some of the conclusions and recommendations are that Businesses involved in the focus group called for new relationships between businesses and Shropshire council. Residents wanted to find out more about the funding and the associated costs in delivering services. To help deliver services more locally and together Town and Parish Council called for more advice and guidance and more information about service in scope and budgets. 5.6 The Big Conversation will continue for years to come and it is not just something Shropshire Council are doing alone. As with all Public Sector organisations such as the local NHS and Police, we need to ensure that the public services we deliver meet the needs of our local communities. Cllr Winwood commented that there was need to move forward and work together with Town and Parish Councils and conversations needed to start as soon as possible with them about the services the residents want to continue in the area. Cllr Parr commented that the Enterprise Growth Hub was working well with businesses and the Enterprise Growth Committee was receiving good feedback from businesses on how SC can move forward with businesses and a task and finish group is being set up. Cllr Marshall commented on working in partnership with other organisations such as Telford and Wrekin Council to share and run services. Conversation have been going ahead with Telford and Wrekin Council and other organisations. 6. Presentation 2: Health Theme 6.1 Professor Rod Thomson – Director of Public Health Shropshire and Herefordshire Public health is around population health, not focussing on acute treatment of patients in hospitals and GP practices but focusing on keeping people well – making the biggest difference to the most people. This includes the commissioning of outbreak control, sexual, health, dental, public health, health visitors, school nurses, drug misusers 4 6.2 Dr Julian Povey – Shropshire Clinical Commissioning Group Dr Povey explained that Shropshire CCG has 19 voting members and they commission health services for Shropshire. He updated on Future Fit where the CCG has consulted with the public on how health care delivery can change A series of options had been identified but it is currently unclear which way forward they will go due to the big gap in what they wanted to what they can afford. So they are currently looking at costs, how to make better use of the community and continue to engage with the public 6.3 Jane Randall-Smith – Health Watch Health Watch was set up in 2013 as an Independent Consumer Champion. They want to hear what people think about the health service and social care they receive – not just problems but what works well too. They will support people to make their complaints to the right person, but in the main are looking for trends. They are happy to get out and meet as many groups as possible. 7. Public Question Time / Future Agenda items Michael Grocock commented on his disapproval of the ground work which had taken place at pale meadow bank whilst birds were still nesting 8.

The county was contested during the First Civil War of 1642-6 and also saw armed conflict on a smaller scale during the Second Civil War of 1648. This detailed study provides a comprehensive bipartisan analysis of military endeavour, in terms of organisation and of the engagements fought.

  • An Archaeological Analysis of Anglo-Saxon Shropshire A.D. 600 – 1066: with a Catalogue of Artefacts
    An Archaeological Analysis of Anglo-Saxon Shropshire A.D. 600 – 1066: With a catalogue of artefacts By Esme Nadine Hookway A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of MRes Classics, Ancient History and Archaeology College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham March 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Abstract The Anglo-Saxon period spanned over 600 years, beginning in the fifth century with migrations into the Roman province of Britannia by peoples’ from the Continent, witnessing the arrival of Scandinavian raiders and settlers from the ninth century and ending with the Norman Conquest of a unified England in 1066. This was a period of immense cultural, political, economic and religious change. The archaeological evidence for this period is however sparse in comparison with the preceding Roman period and the following medieval period. This is particularly apparent in regions of western England, and our understanding of Shropshire, a county with a notable lack of Anglo-Saxon archaeological or historical evidence, remains obscure. This research aims to enhance our understanding of the Anglo-Saxon period in Shropshire by combining multiple sources of evidence, including the growing body of artefacts recorded by the Portable Antiquity Scheme, to produce an over-view of Shropshire during the Anglo-Saxon period.
