  • Stroud Labour Party
    Gloucestershire County Council single member ward review Response from Stroud Constituency Labour Party Introduction On 30 November the Local Government Boundary Commission started its second period of consultation for a pattern of divisions for Gloucestershire. Between 30 November and 21 February the Commission is inviting comments on the division boundaries for GCC. Following the completion of its initial consultation, the Commission has proposed that the number of county councillors should be reduced from 63 to 53. The districts have provided the estimated numbers for the electorate in their areas in 2016; the total number for the county is 490,674 so that the average electorate per councillor would be 9258 (cf. 7431 in 2010). The main purpose of this note is to draw attention to the constraints imposed on proposals for a new pattern of divisions in Stroud district, which could lead to anomalies, particularly in ‘bolting together’ dissimilar district wards and parishes in order to meet purely numerical constraints. In it own words ‘the Commission aims to recommend a pattern of divisions that achieves good electoral equality, reflects community identities and interests and provides for effective and convenient local government. It will also seek to use strong, easily-identifiable boundaries. ‘Proposals should demonstrate how any pattern of divisions aids the provision of effective and convenient local government and why any deterioration in equality of representation or community identity should be accepted. Representations that are supported by evidence and argument will carry more weight with the Commission than those which merely assert a point of view.’ While a new pattern of ten county council divisions is suggested in this note, it is not regarded as definitive but does contain ways of avoiding some possible major anomalies.

  • 25 Water Supply in the Dursley Area 1890
    Reprinted from: Gloucestershire Society for Industrial Archaeology Journal for 2012 pages 25-35 WATER SUPPLY IN THE DURSLEY AREA 1890 - 1974 Peter Harris Introduction At the top end of the aptly named Water Street, behind St. James’s Parish Church and close to its junction with the busy Silver Street in Dursley, lies a pond known as the Broadwell. This, together with the adjoining St. Mary’s Well, the Nun’s or Dipping Well and others, rise from numerous underground springs which surface at this particular point. The presence of these springs must have been a major factor in the establishment of the original settlement. Indeed, right up until the end of the 19th century the springs, along with numerous wells that were sunk, provided the inhabitants with their water-supply. Today, we take it for granted that when we turn on the tap we are supplied with pure clean water. This article looks at the way in which water supply in the Dursley area was transformed from springs and wells into the present comprehensive network of reservoirs, pumping stations, water mains and supply pipes to consumers. Geology With regard to water supply, it is fortunate for Dursley that it is located at the foot of the Cotswold Hills Escarpment (Fig. 1). Stinchcombe Hill to the west of the town rises to 800ft (230m) above sea level, and is capped by a 40m layer of Inferior Oolitic limestone of the Jurassic System which was deposited over 160 million years ago (1). Below this lies a very thin fossil rich deposit of fined grained oolites, marly clays and mudstones which separates it from the thick underlying unit of Upper Lias Cotteswold Sand which is some 50m thick in the Dursley area.
