  • Gloucestershire Local Nature Partnership
    Gloucestershire Local Nature Partnership ‘Call for Evidence’ Response to Gloucestershire’s Local Industrial Strategy Page 1 of 54 Gloucestershire Local Nature Partnership Local Nature Partnerships (LNPs) were formed as part of the government’s 2011 white paper “The Natural Choice: Securing the value of nature”1. As part of a framework to strengthen local action to achieve the recovery of nature, LNPs were tasked to raise awareness about the vital services and benefits that a healthy natural environment brings for people, communities and the local economy. LNPs were to contribute to the green economy and complement Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs), of which there is an expectation from government for LNPs and LEPs to form strong links that capture the value of nature. Here in Gloucestershire, the LNP is formed of over 30 organisations from public, private and third sector bodies from across the county, all working together as an informal partnership to recognise the importance of embedding nature's value in local decisions for the benefit of the nature, people and the economy. The GLNP Mission is to champion the essential role of Gloucestershire’s natural environment in sustaining a vibrant, healthy, prosperous economy and society. With a Vision of a healthy and valued natural environment, sustaining the economy and wellbeing of Gloucestershire. Our partnership provides a strong and innovative voice for the environment sector and is seen as a key partner in helping deliver the Gloucestershire County Council’s Strategy 2019-20222. We benefit from a solid working relationship with GFirst LEP, as well as all the District Councils.

  • Steanbridge Mill, Slad, Gloucestershire GL6 a Handsome Former Mill House in a Fabulous Position with Paddock and a Large Pond
    Steanbridge Mill, Slad, Gloucestershire GL6 A handsome former mill house in a fabulous position with paddock and a large pond. 4 3 3 Painswick 1.5 miles, Stroud 2 miles (Paddington 1 hour 40 minutes), Gloucester 9 miles, Cheltenham 14 miles, Cirencester 16 miles, M5 (J11A) 8 miles, Bristol 35 miles (All distances and times are approximate) Location Steanbridge Mill is quietly situated in an idyllic valley on the edge of the village of Slad, which will forever be associated with Laurie Lee, the famous poet and writer whose home it was for so many years and who so eloquently described its great beauty. Situated in the South West of the Cotswolds, this naturally hilly, wooded country has deep valleys, whose green slopes are a patchwork of small fields. The village of Slad lies in the heart of the valley and has an excellent pub, The Woolpack. Stroud, which lies further down the valley, is an interesting old town and a centre for the arts, as well as having a mainline railway station to London Paddington, day to day shopping, an excellent weekly Farmer’s Market on Saturday, recreational and educational facilities. The larger centres of Cheltenham, Gloucester and Cirencester are very accessible. The property Steanbridge Mill is a lovely family house in an idyllic rural setting, with beautiful gardens and grounds bordered by streams, a paddock, woodland and a large pond. It forms part of an impressive former woollen mill, which was constructed, we believe, in the 17th Century and is Listed Grade II as being of Special Architectural and Historic Interest.
