Feasibility Study Into Public Transportation Options for Widening Access to the Ouse Washes - Final Report
Feasibility Study into Public Transportation Options for Widening Access to the Ouse Washes - Final Report Peter J Bates Senior Partner pjb Associates January 2017 [email protected] Feasibility Study into Public Transportation Options for Widening Access to the Ouse Washes Executive Summary This project has aimed to be a catalyst to stimulate the development of new and better integrated public transport solutions for the Ouse Washes and the surrounding areas - that will specifically to encourage tourism opportunities. It has explored the feasibility and sustainability of various public transport options that could be developed by third party organisations and identified what options are most likely to be sustainable and where the risk involved is likely to be at low enough level for an option to be implemented. Although the study has focused upon options for utilising better integrated public transport – that create and encourage new tourism opportunities, it has had to take into account the existing and somewhat limited public transport options that currently serve the local population and the fact that the attractiveness of Ouse Washes Landscape tends to be spread out over a large area with few focal points that attract significant visitors. Therefore, the options suggested have focused on visitor attractions that don’t have any public transport option at all, at present. It has suggested ways for creating flexibility with new public transport options. The study has drawn upon the results of a survey of visitors who attended various events during OuseFest in August 2016. However, it is recognised that there were some limitations with this survey – as most people attending the events did tend to live locally, already had their own car and most people were over 55 years old which was not representative of the population as a whole. -

This season also heralds the cropping of cob nuts from the tree at the bottom of the garden and it is now a race against the lone squirrel to ensure that he doesn’t get them all! Having said that, it is a joy to watch the industry of these quite clever little animals as they race up and down the tree, manage to get an enormous ‘bunch’ of nuts off the end of a thin branch and down again to enjoy the fruits of their labour. -

AGENDA ITEM NO 5 Agenda Item 5
AGENDA ITEM NO 5 MAIN CASE Reference No: 14/01007/ESF Proposal: Erection of 2 wind turbines, hub height of 75 metres with height to blade tip of 102 meters, concrete pads for crane use and small sub station Site Address: Red Hill Farm Cambridge Road Stretham Ely CB6 3LR Applicant: Mr Chris Attle Case Officer: Julie Barrow, Planning Officer Parish: Stretham Ward: Stretham Ward Councillors: Councillor Bill Hunt Councillor Charles Roberts Date Received: 15 September 2014 Expiry Date: [Q84] 1.0 RECOMMENDATION 1.1 Members are requested to REFUSE the application for the following reasons: Reason 1 – Landscape and visual amenity The application site is located within the low lying fenland landscape with the fen island ridges beyond. The special relationship between the two landscape character areas is such that it makes the landscape particularly sensitive to change. The introduction of two wind turbines of the size and scale proposed, together with the associated infrastructure, would have an urbanising effect and would significantly change the character of the area. The insertion of the turbines within the landscape would fundamentally alter the view from the public footpath running through Red Hill Farm. The turbines, together with the hardsurfacing of the existing access and new length of access, the crane/turning pads and substations, will appear as hard, unforgiving features in a soft, natural landscape. The landscape will become dominated by the turbines, to the detriment of the relationship between the island ridges and lowland fens. The impacts on landscape and visual amenity have been identified by the community as a key concern, which cannot be addressed as it arises out of the nature of the landscape itself. -
Newsletter 162 Winter 2013
NEWSLETTER 162 WINTER 2013 Reg. Charity Seasonal1 greetings from Wheal Harriet, Dolcoath No. 246586 CHAIRMAN’S ADDRESS What a Year! There comes a time of year when we put on warmer clothes, look back with some satisfaction and forward with anticipation. While always wishing we had achieved more, it’s been a good year for the Society in many ways. On the publication side we sold out of The Oblivion of Trevithick and From Holman Bros. to CompAir, reprinting the latter. We also published and reprinted The Genius of Trevithick, and closed the year by publishing two weighty, important books, Devon Great Consols and The History of Camborne School of Mines. There was excitement in the form of a trip to a little French village with the 1801 Trevithick replica where we made international friends and subsequently received an invitation to take it to Suffolk next year. We successfully sought funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund to record and digitise of our ever increasing stock of papers, films, images and artefacts for worldwide use. We congratulated Cornwall Council on its successful bid to the HLF for over £1 million to create a centre for Cornish mining history at King Edward Mine. The East Cornwall branch has continued to prosper in the hands of the Manley Team and has been a rich source of new members. Kingsley has given a number of lectures connected to Cornwall’s industrial past and I have been fortunate enough to give Trevithick lectures to the Cornish Diaspora in California, combining the trip with a visit to the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C. -

Due to work commitments our speakers for the AGM meeting were unable to attend and we were well satisfied with member Matthew Nayler’s talk about ‘his’ mill at Wolverton. December’s evening had a bit of a Christmassy feeling and we heard about ‘Appreciating Street Furniture’. -
Speech by John Dodwell, a Trustee of the Canal & River Trust, to The
Speech by John Dodwell, a Trustee of the Canal & River Trust, to the Milton Keynes Branch (Marsworth to Cosgrove) of The Inland Waterways Association on Monday February 23 2015 at the Milton Keynes Village Pavilion on the subject “Canal & River Trust in Operation”. I’m grateful to be speaking to this Branch tonight. One of your more prominent Members is James Griffin of the well known Wyvern Shipping hire cruiser firm, started by his father in the 1950s. I’m grateful because it allowed my elder brother Tim to lead a group hiring one of Wyvern’s boats in about 1956. I think they went to Banbury and back. Facilities were different then and I rather suspect they buried the elsan contents in a deep hole in the undergrowth. He went on to become a prominent IWA member in the South East and to start what later became the Waterway Recovery Group. He got me interested and thus I got involved in the restorations of the 1960s and 70s – the Stourbridge, the Ashton and lower Peak Forest, the Kennet & Avon and others. I was also engaged in Parliamentary lobbying over the 1968 Transport Act – which enshrined the leisure use of waterways – and was IWA General Secretary in the early 1970s – when we stopped British Waterways being split up between the water authorities. So you can see I bring some political historical perspective to being a CRT Trustee. I also bring the perspective of being a boat owner – I’m not the only Trustee who does that – being the owner of HELEN, a 1942 iron tug built for use on the BCN. -
