  • 5 Surveillance of the Antibiotic Susceptibility of Bacteria Found in the Urinary Tract in the West Midlands Over a Four Year Period
    An investigation into the relationship between antimicrobial prescribing and antimicrobial resistance in urinary tract infections at a population level By Dean Ironmonger A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Institute of Microbiology and Infection College of Medical and Dental Sciences University of Birmingham December 2017 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract Inappropriate use of antibiotics is a key factor in the development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). UK national guidance has been ineffective in standardising the management of infections in the community. Many community prescribers are sceptical that their actions have an effect on AMR in their locality. As part of this study, routine surveillance of AMR in a large regional population was established. To help interpret surveillance data, two surveys were undertaken: a survey of laboratory methods, and a survey of GP sampling and prescribing protocols. Using these survey results, surveillance tools were developed to provide hospital and community prescribers with data on antibiotic resistance in bacteria within their locality; and enable laboratories to compare methods for determining antibiotic susceptibility.

  • BY E. GREEN (Eon. Sec.)
    ftoios mt the Jistorg «f £)uluft[ion. BY E. GREEN (Eon. Sec.) pUT a few years ago the history of any parish would have ^ commenced with some extract from Domesday book, now, thanks to one, alas ! lately departed from us, two years earlier can be included, and much new matter gained. Still all is rather complex, and future workers may yet find room for their investigations. In the Gheld Inquest then, taken in 1084, Dul- vertona is found as part of Williton Hundred, and, with Netelcoma and Uinnesforda, was rated at six hides, one virgate and one fertin, the dues on which were in arrear. The Domesday measurement is about a third more. But although Dulverton is here found already in Williton, it for a time, it would seem, gave the name to the Hundred. It here included Potesdona(Pixton), Holma (Hollam), and certain lands owned by thirteen Taini, the value, £-3. 4s. 2d., making uipthe Domesday measurement of 8,337 acres, held by the King in capite. Be- fore the Conquest it was owned by Earl Harold, who received a rent from Brigeford, from the Earl of Moretain, of twenty- “ four sheep ; a custom, says the Inquest, now discontinued.” The rental was eleven pounds ten shillings, paid in white money. Within the manor was a still uncertain holding of one virgate of land, called Widepolla, the same spelling as for Withypool, held by Robert de Odburvilla, formerly owned by one Dodo in the time of King Eadward. D'Auberville, as the name next becomes, and Dodo, were both King’s foresters, but D’Auber- ville, by a suit at law, managed to secure the property, and then to separate it from Dulverton, holding it by what was considered the more honourable tenure, by service, instead of, as before, by a money rent.

  • Full Council – 16 July 2019
    Full Council – 16 July 2019 Motion to declare Somerset West and Taunton a Frack- Free Zone Motion proposed by Councillor Caroline Ellis, seconded by Councillor Dixie Darch Preamble:- This Council notes that: 1. Parts of Somerset West and Taunton i.e. areas around Minehead and Watchet and a section of Exmoor National Park have been licensed by central government for onshore unconventional shale oil and shale gas development (PEDL 344), which could include hydraulic fracturing or “fracking” for short. 2. Shale gas and shale oil are fossil fuels and emit greenhouse gases (methane, via fugitive emissions and carbon dioxide via production processes and when burnt). 3. Fracking in the US, Canada and Australia has produced unacceptable risks including ground water contamination and adverse impacts on air quality (with the release, treatment and disposal of radioactive toxins), agriculture, public health and safety, climate stability, economic vitality, the rural economy (farming & tourism), landscape and property values as well as earthquakesi. While England is said to have a more robust regulatory system, there are weaknesses; much of the monitoring of pollution, leaks etc. is left to the companies themselves and the regulators are often under budgetary pressures.ii 4. The latest scientific evidence demonstrates that fracking has no role to play in the transition to a zero carbon economy and would thwart the UK’s climate change mitigation efforts.iii 5. Popular opposition to fracking across Somerset West and Taunton is evidenced by strong support for groups such as ‘Frack Free Somerset’ and ‘Frack Free EQS’ (Exmoor, Quantocks and Sedgemoor) and motions to declare Frack-Free Zones passed by Watchet and Wiveliscombe Town Councils and Parish Councils including Bishops Lydeard and Cothelstone, Clatworthy, Dulverton, Exton, Old Cleeve, Selworthy and Minehead Without and Stogumber.

It has been working hard to address the shortage of affordable housing within a predominantly rural area. The area covered by the project displays an extreme disparity between incomes and house prices, which makes it hard for many to gain secure footing within the housing market. The Rural Housing Project is designed to help promote and deliver affordable rural housing strategically across the project area and helps deliver Exmoor National Park housing policies within the Park. This is being achieved by informing people about affordable rural housing, providing help and advice, carrying out research at parish level to assess the affordable housing need and bringing together the community and various partners to help deliver housing where it is needed. One of the tasks for the project is to work with the Parish Council and the local community to assist them in carrying out a housing needs survey, in order to identify whether there is a need for affordable housing for local people in the parish. Colin Savage, Rural Housing Enabler Page 2 BROMPTON RALPH AND CLATWORTHY HOUSING NEEDS SURVEY Introduction Brompton Ralph is a village and civil parish in West Somerset, about 11 miles west of Taunton, and 3 miles north of Wiveliscombe.
