  • Marine Safety in the Severn Estuary & Lower
    Marine Safety in the Severn Estuary & Lower Wye A Guide to Safe Navigation for Small Craft and Notes for River Bank Users (Updated May 2017) INTRODUCTION TO THE SEVERN ESTUARY The Severn Estuary can be a dangerous place, with shifting sands, a rapid rise of tide and strong tidal currents. Those who use the estuary need to be aware of the dangers and ready to deal with them safely. Since 1889 the Gloucester Harbour Trustees have regulated navigation and provided aids in the estuary to assist in the safe passage of all craft, whether commercial shipping or sailing dinghies. We have produced this guide to help all users of the estuary to understand the hazards and to know what to look out for, what to avoid and how to respond in an emergency. We hope that the information will be a useful contribution to the continued safe use of the estuary. The Gloucester Harbour is the formal name given to a defined area for which the Gloucester Harbour Trustees is the conservancy, harbour and local lighthouse authority. This area includes the River Severn and its estuary, extending from the Maisemore and Llanthony weirs near Gloucester, to lines seaward of the Second Severn Crossing. The River Wye as far as Bigsweir Bridge also falls within this area. 2 INDEX TO SECTIONS 1 General Safety Considerations 2 General Advice to Vessels 3 Tidal Considerations 4 Safety of Small Craft and Canal Craft 5 Conduct of Vessels 6 The River Severn between the Second Severn Crossing and Sharpness Dock 7 The River Severn between Sharpness Dock and Gloucester 8 The River

  • Summer 2018 All Freetext Comments from Engagement Survey
    Outcome of Engagement Report – Summer 2018 All freetext comments from engagement survey respondents I think that the new community hospital should be in or near Cinderford because: It is central to the forest It is the most accessible part of the forest when there is severe weather. It is a central location within the forest, with good connections to other areas of the forest and wider Gloucestershire. It would make transferring between hospitals easier for patients. as part of my work role I cover the Forest of Dean currently based at the Dilke, on a one hour response time I can be anywhere in the Forest within this time frame based in either Coleford or Cinderford its central to North Forest - Maisemore, Corse, etc. More of a community area. This seems a better option as it is central to the forest and would be accessible to many. it would be in our locality and easiest to reach. It has good communications and is closest to my locality ITS CENTRAL TO THE WHOLE FOD CATCHMENT AREA Cinderford is a central location for residents across the FOD, when you take in locations in the Forest such as Newent, Coleford or Lydney would be too far to travel. It is in the most central location, with reasonably good public transport. If it was in Lydney this would be difficult for some people to access, especially people from Newent and surrounding areas. It is situated centrally between Lydney and Gloucester Central to the Forest. Close to area of high deprivation who may otherwise struggle to access healthcare.

  • Government Response to Public Consultation
    THE POST OFFICE NETWORK Government response to public consultation MAY 2007 Contents Executive Summary 2 Section 1: Introduction 5 Background 5 Consultation Process 6 Analysis of Themes 7 Section 2: Summary of Responses to Questions 1-7 9 Summary of Views and Comments 9 Government Decisions Section 3: Next Steps 28 Annex A: List of Respondents 30 1 Executive Summary Post offices play an important social and economic role in the communities they serve. But with new technology, changing lifestyles and a wider choice of ways of accessing services, people are visiting post offices less. The network’s losses rose from about £2 million a week in 2005 to almost £4 million a week last year and are likely to increase further unless action is taken to make the network more sustainable. However, the Government remains committed to maintaining a post office network with national coverage and is putting in place a new policy and financial framework to achieve this. On 14 December 2006, the Government initiated a 12 week public consultation on a range of proposed measures, underpinned by the investment of up to £1.7 billion, to modernise and reshape the network and to put it on a stable footing. We received over 2,500 responses, more details of which are provided in section 1 of this document and in Annex A. This document summarises the responses to the seven specific questions posed in the consultation document together with wider comments on the post office network and its future role and direction. It also sets out the Government’s decisions in the light of the consultation.

The report has been broken down into the three JCS urban centres – land around Gloucester, land around Cheltenham and land around Tewkesbury. It also includes land around Bishop‟s Cleeve and though it is not considered that this settlement forms part of the urban area of Cheltenham, its proximity to Cheltenham has led to its wider exploration. The analysis comprised of two distinct areas of work: The first was a landscape characterisation process where the landscape around the settlements was surveyed and divided into distinct character areas. Each area was then described following the standard methodology described below. Once the landscape character had been spatially identified and then described, the second area of work - a sensitivity analysis followed. The objective of this work was to assign relative value as to the sensitivity of the landscape to large scale development, with the main output being the maps that show the various sensitivities for the specific areas. The intention is that these are used as one part of the process to identify development sites within the JCS area.

  • Introduction
    DRAFT – VCH Gloucestershire [Cirencester] © University of London, 2017 Cirencester 1540 to 1945, all to July 2017 INTRODUCTION THE EFFECTS OF THE DISSOLUTION The manor of Cirencester passed from the abbey into the hands of the crown on 19 December 1539.1 The dissolution led to the dispersal of the abbey’s authority and its physical fabric amongst local notables. The buildings were divided into those considered superfluous, such as the church and chapels, and those preserved as potentially useful for a new tenant, including the abbot’s residence and baking, brewing and malting houses.2 Henry VIII’s commissioners were required to ensure that conventual buildings were pulled down to remove signs of the monastic way of life.3 However, it is doubtful that the dissolution of the abbey had any great effect on the pattern of development of Cirencester as a whole, with the estate passing into the hands of the Master family.4 Following the dissolution of the abbey, custodianship of the manor house and grounds of the abbey was granted to Richard Basing, a wine merchant, inadvertently leading to his imprisonment in Seville.5 The crown retained the use of the roof lead, steeple and other fixtures and fittings of the church which had been removed and melted down by 1541, as well as the abbot’s former residence.6 The total amount of lead eventually gathered by the crown was estimated at 123 fothers (a cartload, equivalent to c. 1 tonne).7 The steeple and surplus houses of the abbey were sold to Sir Anthony Hungerford and Robert Strange, Hungerford’s relation by marriage and bailiff to the late abbot.

As the centre of Gloucestershire for economic development, it is vital to have an up to date development plan for the area and after a rigorous process of preparation, consultation and examination, the JCS was adopted on 11 December 2017. The JCS sets out the amount of new homes, jobs and supporting infrastructure that is Paul James needed to 2031 and details the strategy for how this development is to be delivered in a managed and resilient way whilst protecting our exceptional natural and built environment. This adopted plan has been shaped by the thousands of responses received at earlier stages of the project and we wish to thank those residents, community groups, businesses and service providers who all helped to create the plan and we ask that everyone continues to work together to deliver the JCS and its aims.
