Digital Switchover 6 April 2011 Gorsley & Kilcot Parish Council Newsletter Winter 2020 CHAIRMAN’S REPORT 2019/20 Earlier in the year, when the Annual Parish Meeting was cancelled due to the first national lockdown, it was decided to delay the issue of our annual newsletter in the hope that it would not be too long before the Covid pandemic was brought under control. Eight months on there is at last light at the end of the tunnel with rollout of the approved Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine expected to start in hospitals on 7 December. Your Parish Council feels it is now time to give you an update on what we have been doing on your behalf and our future plans, as far as we can predict anything at present. A copy of this newsletter will be posted to those households who are not on our email distribution list. To save paper and postage costs in future please sign up to receive newsletters and updates by email. Just send an email to [email protected] with SUBSCRIBE in the subject line. Coronavirus While the nature of the parish and our limited resources restricted how much support we were able to provide during the initial lockdown, the low number of requests for assistance received by the parish clerk indicates that the community helped each other to deal with this unprecedented Page | 1 pandemic. Thank you to everyone for whatever you did to help your fellow inhabitants of the parish during these trying times. Meetings The Parish Council has continued to meet during the past few months, in accordance with the local government association guidelines, using ZOOM. Details of the dates of meetings are listed on our web site (www.gkpc.co.uk) and the parish noticeboards at Kilcot Cross and Christchurch. If anyone wishes to participate in a virtual parish council meeting details are available on the website or you can contact the parish clerk, Mrs Arin Spencer ([email protected] or 07484 619582). In an effort to disseminate details of meetings to a wider audience we have recently taken the decision to publish a resume in the Chimes so that those without access to the internet can easily see what the Parish Council is doing. Financials Despite ever increasing costs GKPC remains in a healthy financial situation and holds reserves in line with local government guidelines. As a result, it has been decided not to increase the precept for the financial year 2021/22. Planning Over the past 18 months the Parish Council has provided comment on the applications shown below with their outcome. In addition, we have engaged with Forest of Dean District Council (FODDC) on a number of planning enforcement issues, some of which remain ongoing.

Decision pending. Planning Enforcement EN/0062/17 Hedgerow Replacement Notice on land adjacent to B4221: The Parish Council continues to engage with the Planning Enforcement Team on this matter. The land was recently sold and the Enforcement Team has advised the new owner that they expect replanting of the hedge to take place this year. EN/0095/17 Barn at Little Bull Hill: Unauthorised use of field for storage of construction equipment etc. Monitoring of this site by enforcement officials remains ongoing. EN/0078/20 Land at Kilcot Cross: An appeal against the enforcement notice and against the refusal of the planning department to consider the retrospective planning application for the works undertaken so far has been lodged. The Parish Council will be submitting its objections when consulted as part of the appeals process. Page | 4 Road Safety Speed, particularly on the B4221, clearly remains a concern for many in the parish. The Parish Council continues to actively support the Community Speed Watch (CSW) programme, which is being re-energised by Gloucestershire police with the intention of making greater use of the information supplied by CSW participants to warn or prosecute where appropriate. Unfortunately the availability of equipment and lockdowns have seriously limited the number of times it has been possible to carry out speed checks this year. To address the equipment availability issue a speed gun of the same type used by the police has been purchased so that we can conduct checks whenever we wish. As a result, once Covid restrictions allow, we will be implementing a regular programme of speed checks at the various accredited locations in the parish. Additional volunteers to help conduct speed checks are always welcome; if you would like to take part in CSW, or would like any further information, please contact our Parish Clerk, Mrs Arin Spencer. While our attempt to get Herefordshire County Council to impose a 7.5T weight limit on their part of B4222 has made no real progress, other than it still being on their list of traffic regulation orders awaiting funding, we have recently been approached by Aston Ingham Parish Council with a view to implementing a joint, cross county border, approach to traffic issues on the Aston Ingham Road. We have not given up on the idea of installing an additional Vehicle Activated Sign, ideally a mobile one similar to that at Highleadon. However, it remains the case that this is not likely to happen until funding by the Police and Crime Commissioner, or a similar organisation, for such schemes becomes available again. Local Transport Plan Parishioners may recall that in 2016 Gloucestershire published its Local Transport Plan setting out their plan until 2031. The document is now being updated to provide a plan out to 2041 and is at the consultation stage. As part of that exercise we have highlighted that there has been absolutely no progress on the intention in the 2016 version to reduce HGV traffic on roads like the B4221 and that this remains a priority for rural settlements such as ours. Similarly, we have expressed concern that the plan seeks to place Page | 5 increased emphasis on the use of public transport while our bus service continues to be further emasculated on an almost annual basis.

  • Ledbury to Gloucester Copy Better
    Ledbury to Gloucester Railway Ledbury to Gloucester by rail Taken from David Postle’s book of the same name and is seen through the eyes of the Driver and Fireman of the last passenger train on the branch on the 11th July 1959. The driver was Jack Folley and the fireman Jim Kavanagh. Jim checked the fire again and looked at the pressure gauge, and decided that he ought to put a little more coal on the fire. He picked up his shovel, opened the fire hole doors and placed half a dozen shovelfuls round the firebox, turned on the injector again because he knew that shortly he would be stopping at Barber’s Bridge with a minute or two in hand to gain any pressure that might be lost by putting more water into the boiler. He picked up a little hand brush and swept the coal dust from the floorboards of the cab. ‘Even when the railway was opened, no attempt was made to advertise the new service. It wasn’t until the end of August that the G.W.R. advertised a summer excursion from Cheltenham to Malvern via Newest. The line was obviously considered important by some because, in the sales particulars of property on the market at that time, the proximity to the new railway was very often stressed’ ‘Did the railway look as though it might fulfil its potential’, asked Jim. ‘Early newspaper reports were very optimistic. The first five weeks saw over 2000 passengers booked at Newest and just over half that at Dymock.’ ‘Talking in the early days,’ said Jim, ‘the guard told me at Ledbury that we have an elderly gentleman on board who travelled on the first train, and here he is, on the last one over the Branch.’ ‘Is that right? I suppose it just goes to show how short-lived this Branch has been.’ ‘Whilst on the subject of people, did I tell you about Dick Nash?’ asked Jack.

  • The Battle for May Hill’ by Marion Shoard
    ‘The Battle for May Hill’ by Marion Shoard Published in the Newsletter of the Friends of the Dymock Poets, Issue no. 59, Summer 2013 May Hill is probably the most important geographical feature for the Friends of the Dymock Poets. The poets derived their inspiration from the countryside around them. As they walked and talked together along the field paths and lanes, they constantly got their bearings from that unmistakable, reassuring upturned saucer with its fuzz of pines atop – May Hill. As Edward Thomas recalled in his essay about the Dymock country, ‘This England’: ‘Again and again we saw, instead of solid things, dark or bright, never more than half a mile off, the complete broad dome of a high hill six miles distant, a beautiful hill itself, but especially seen thus, always unexpectedly, through gaps in this narrow country, as through a window’. Several FDP walks have taken in May Hill, where members have read aloud ‘Words’, the delightful poem which Edward Thomas composed from its slopes while on a cycling trip with John Haines, the Gloucester solicitor and amateur botanist who joined the poets on many of their walks-talks. In view of this connection, when FDP member Alexander Maltby, who lives on May Hill, contacted the FDP about a plan to build a five-bedroom mansion on an isolated site on its slopes, the committee was concerned. Alas, we do not have the capacity to check every planning application, so we can deal only with selected cases. Barbara Davis and I were the first committee members to go and visit the site, and this is the submission which Jeff Cooper, our chair, sent in on behalf of the FDP to Forest of Dean District Council, which will grant or withhold planning consent.

    Reprinted from: Gloucestershire Society for Industrial Archaeology Journal for 1972 pages 3-9 5 THE IIXENHALI. BRANCH IIF THE llEllEFlllI|lSlillIE AND li|.lll|l3ESTEBSlllliE BANM. In view of its length, the Hereford-Gloucester canal was remarkable in having only one branch. It began at Oxenhall, about ten miles from Gloucester, and was projected to serve part of the tiny Newent coalfield, a mile to the west.(l) ' L i There have been doubts as to the extent of its use, or even completion, but a scrutiny of the company minute books does suggest at least a few years of sporadic activity, as is shown later.i Coal pits existed in the area before 1775 (2) and provided important stimulus to the promoters of the canal, the Act for which was obtained in 1791. After a slow start, construction got underway in 1795 and at the end of the year the company began to consider e mining for its own purposes; permission to bore was sought and there was talk of ‘fire engines‘ for pumping. Success was first reported in April 1794 on the land of Mrs. Phillips at Lower House, Where pits had been ‘working with good profit‘ a year or two before. (5) Sinking a shaft took five months but the coal ‘not promising from its general appearance to be fit for any other purpose than 1ime—burning and the like‘, it was determined to sink another pit. y Soon afterwards, terms of one seventh royalty were agreed with Mrs. Phillips on the value of coal at the surface, the small coal being worth only about three shillings a ton.

  • Excavations at Stallards Place, Dymock, 2007
    Trans. Bristol & Gloucestershire Archaeological Society 131 (2013), 93–102 Excavations at Stallards Place, Dymock, 2007 by ANDREW SIMMONDS with contributions by PAUL BLINKHORN, PAUL BOOTH, WENDY SMITH and LENA STRID INTRODUCTION During April and May 2007 Oxford Archaeology conducted an excavation at Stallards Place, Dymock, at OS Nat. Grid SO 6986 3133 (Fig. 1). This work was commissioned by CgMs Consulting on behalf of Ten Estates and Developments, in advance of construction of new housing on land that was formerly the grounds of Stallards Place. The site comprised part of the gardens surrounding the house and a former orchard to the south. The excavation was undertaken in accordance with a condition attached to the planning permission for the development by Forest of Dean District Council. The modern village of Dymock is believed to stand at the junction of two Roman roads, where a road leading from the fort and settlement at Stretton Grandison (Herefs.) to a possible crossing of the River Severn south of Tewkesbury is joined by a possible road extending southward toward Gloucester (Catchpole 2007b, 133–4). The presence of a Roman settlement at Dymock has been recognised since at least the start of the 20th century as a result of the discovery of chance finds and structural remains throughout the village (Gethyn-Jones 1966; Leech 1981, 31) and, more recently, by more formal excavations at Winserdine and Rose Cottage (Taverner 2001), the Rectory (Simmonds 2007) and the Sewage Treatment Works (Catchpole 2007a). The settlement has been tentatively identified with the settlement ofMacatonium , which is recorded in the Ravenna Cosmography as lying on the route between Gloucester and Kenchester (Herefs.) (Gethyn-Jones 1966, 11; Rivet and Smith 1979, 361–2, 404–5).
