  • News for December 2013 5Th December 2013 Christmas Lunch
    News for December 2013 5th December 2013 Christmas Lunch at the Old Royal Ship. Message from Bill Balchin. Well done all you heroes who rode to, and especially from, Luckington. I hope you got home before dark. Yes, I bottled out and drove - but I don't mind once a year when I have eaten a Christmas lunch (excellent as usual I thought). Many thanks to Pete and Malcolm, not just for today but all year. Ride report from Pete Campbell: We left Mangotsfield station at 10:15 with Rob Searle leading the way to Luckington. His appointment as ride leader today was clearly a popular decision, as twenty-two people made their way to the old station for the ride. Two minutes into the ride Lara rolled over a sharp object (not sure what, but I guess that doesn't really matter, only that her tyre needed fixing). Mike volunteered to assist and the pair made their own way to lunch. So a smaller but still large enough group of twenty followed Rob down the new cycle path across the railway into Westerleigh, up Wapley Hill, through Dodington and across the A46 near Old Sodbury. A loop through Badminton village gave us the opportunity to view some seriously high-quality Cotswold stone for a few seconds. But we were not out for the view - a Christmas meal was waiting. A short detour round Alderton and we'd done 28 kilometers before lunch. We had seventy two people there this year for the very acceptable menu of soup, turkey with many trimmings and Christmas pudding.

  • October 2017 Issue 236
    OCTOBER 2017 ISSUE 236 ON THE EDGE Footpaths, Bridleways and Tracks There are over 9,500 public rights of way (PROWs) in Gloucestershire. Government cuts have resulted in a significant reduction in the capacity of the rights of way team to fulfil their obligations but the Gloucestershire County Council public rights of way team are responsible for: • providing information about the routes of public paths, • recording PROWs on the Definitive Map, • processing 'public path orders' and 'modification orders', • maintaining the surface of PROWs, • maintaining most bridges over natural watercourses, • roadside signposting and way-marking, • making sure that public paths are reasonably convenient for the public to use. Your rights of way include: • public footpaths, • public bridleways, • restricted byways, • Byways open to all traffic. Public footpaths can be used on foot only (with a pram, pushchair or wheelchair where it is practicable to do so *), with a dog under close control. Public bridleways also allow horse riders and cyclists (cyclists must give way to walkers and horse riders). Restricted byways can be used by any transport without a motor. * and mobility scooters and powered wheelchairs. Note: users may take an alternative route around an obstruction or remove enough of the obstruction to get past. Ordnance Survey maps show most public rights of way but may not be up to date. In the parish of North Nibley, as in most of England, public footpaths are way-marked with yellow arrows and bridleways with blue arrows. What may seem to be a single path may be made up of sections with different designations.

  • Introduction the Parish of North Nibley
    Introduction This Parish Plan was developed in response to the government’s proposal that rural communities should produce plans "to indicate how they would like their town or village to develop". It was suggested that funding decisions by the district and county councils should take account of these plans. A Survey Questionnaire was prepared and distributed to all households in the Parish, to which 63% responded. An additional questionnaire was included specifically for 7-18 year olds. Gloucestershire Rural Communities Council analysed the replies and the results were presented to the Annual Parish Meeting in 2009. The results were also made available to parishioners and Parish organisations. The results and additional feedback from Parish consultations, to which all residents were invited, were used by a volunteer Steering Group of North Nibley residents to assist them to develop this Plan. The plan identifies issues and concerns of parishioners highlighted through the Survey and consultation meetings. It provides a guide to future actions by the community, the Parish, District and County Councils and external agencies. The Parish of North Nibley North Nibley is an attractive village on the edge of the Cotswolds, located close to the river Severn between Bristol and Gloucester.
