  • Technical Note
    Technical note Project: Stratford-on-Avon To: Warwickshire County Council Additional Road Capacity Subject: Evidence Review From: Atkins Date: May 2016 cc: 1. Introduction 1.1. Background to the Study Atkins has been commissioned by Warwickshire County Council (WCC) to undertake a study to evaluate the impact of additional highway capacity in Stratford-on-Avon. This is in response to a number of existing transport issues within the area and to take account of the likely impact of Stratford on Avon District Council’s proposals for potential housing and employment growth sites for the Local Development Framework up to 2031. The study will also assess whether there are opportunities for reducing traffic dominance in the town centre (e.g. on Bridge Street, High Street and Clopton Bridge) as a result of the provision of additional highway capacity. A number of discrete tasks have been identified as being required for this Study. A list of the tasks is shown below: (i) Stage 1 - Evidence Review (ii) Stage 2 - Road Capacity Options (iii) Stage 3 - Assessment of Options (iv) Stage 4 - Cost assessment (v) Stage 5 - Cost-benefit Analysis (vi) Stage 6 - High level environmental assessment (vii) Stage 7 - Town Centre Benefits (viii) Stage 8 - Recommended Approach This Technical Note presents the findings from Stage 1 – Evidence Review. 1.2. Purpose of the Evidence Review A review of pre-existing datasets and documentation has been undertaken to identify the existing and future transport related issues and problems affecting Stratford-on-Avon. The aim of this review is to summarise the network conditions and local travel demand behaviours relevant to Stratford-on-Avon.

It’s a question that I have put to many groups of people, ranging from young RAF recruits to experienced business executives. Invariably the answer I get is “Nelson.” But that response is incomplete. Admiral Lord Nelson did indeed play a very significant role in the winning of the battle of Trafalgar but a fuller, more accurate answer to my question might go like this: “Admiral Lord Nelson, who inspired 27 captains of ships, who led 2100 officers, who in turn gained the full commitment of 17000 coarse sailors.” So, who makes Holy Trinity ‘tick’? Unequivocally, the answer is “God.” But God uses us, his disciples, to fulfil His will. So a fuller response – and I guess that you are now ahead of me – is: “God, through Patrick, who himself has inspired 2 clergy, who in turn have gained the full commitment of the 300-strong congregation.” So, how so? Well, Nelson invested in a team belief – that the fleet could do extraordinary things, Nelson’s way.

  • Annual Report 2016
    Harbury Parish Council Annual Report 2016 Parish Council Chairman’s Report Planning continues to be a source of concern for many residents. Stratford on Avon District Council has still not finalised its Core Strategy, more than 5 years after the old plan expired. It seems likely that the district will need to build more than 14,000 new houses before 2030, and Harbury has already taken more than 120 of them (over our allocation). The proposed new settlement at Gaydon/Lighthorne Heath will almost certainly have a big impact on the traffic using local roads, and Harbury PC is working with other parish councils to get a full assessment of what needs to be done to mitigate it. As we entered spring of 2016 the work on the railway cutting finally began to wind down. The mountain of earth that was excavated from the site has nearly disappeared, most of the temporary containers for workers have gone, and before long the site will reach its final state. The impact on local residents has been severe, with months of noise at unsociable hours. Aside from a site visit, I have had less involvement with Network Rail this year than last. One issue that remains is the drainage on the repaired Three Arch Bridge which is not good. On a more positive note, it was great to have the Lord Lieutenant of Warwickshire visit the village in April and officially open the extension to the village hall. It has been a great achievement of which so many people can be proud, but particular praise should go to Geoff Thorpe for steering the entire process, and his fund-raising gang who did such an amazing job.

  • Details of Some Old Lighthorne Families by Peter Hinman
    LH147 (E) Details of some old Lighthorne Families by Peter Hinman (2001) ALLIBONE Thomas, from Combroke, a gamekeeper, and wife Annie, from Wetherden, Suffolk, lived in Top Road in 1851. AVERY (butcher) born Lighthorne, described as living in the butcher’s shop in 1851 census. BARBER William (gamekeeper) lived in the Lodge (now Keepers Cottage) with wife, Sarah Ann and children Reginald, Elsie, William and Florence. BAYLIS John (farm labourer), from Oxfordshire and wife, Ann, from Gloucestershire. They had at least five children and grandchildren, born in Lighthorne. BISHOP John (farmer) This family gave their name to the house now known as Bishops Farm House. John Bishop was from Bledington, Gloucestershire, and is recorded as an unmarried 56 year old in 1851. The farm consisted of 227 acres at that time and his domestic household contained four persons of whom only Mary Humphriss (aged 12), a servant, was from Lighthorne. BLACKWELL (farm labourer) from Warwick, wife Mary, born Lighthorne. 1851 census. BOTTRELL BOYLES (sometimes BOILS) BRADSHAW (yeoman) Recorded in the 1616 terrier as owning half a yardland (about 30 acres) at the end of “Thorney Doole”. Subsequent land transfer deeds indicate that they were active in neighbouring parishes for some years. They were not referred to in the enclosure petition but have a small mention in the act. This indicates that they probably only rented land here by that time. A Bradshaw family described as farm labourers are recorded as living in the old Bank cottages in 1851 and again in 1881, where Charles is described as a pauper. A second family headed by a George is also living on The Bank at this time.
