Let’s hope it continues, especially as Richard has indicated that bad weather forecasts result in poorer turnout on task. Enclosed you will find the annual report showing the state of the group. Included is a comprehensive breakdown of the work carried out and statistics involved in running DCV. You can also see the financial report, publicity details and minutes of the AGM. Thank you to all who have contributed to that, and to Richard for putting it all together, no mean feat. Also in this newsletter, you can find a report and photographs following the autumn beach clean at Abbotsbury, where we had good weather and a great turnout. The group that runs that event, Litter Free Coast and Sea - litterfreecoastandsea.co.uk - also have a Facebook page with photographs from this event and others run throughout Dorset - do take a look. Once again, the joint task with Association Orchis from Normandy was a huge success, both the task and social side. See Terry’s report in this newsletter, together with lots of photos. The AGM was very enjoyable, lots of good food and chat (priorities in order). We then heard from two excellent speakers - first, our President Kevin Cook regarding the decline of wildlife, and then James Sharpe of South Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty who explained their purpose and raised many interesting points. We’ve all noticed fewer butterflies and birds this year - is it just an odd year or a continuation of the decline in our wildlife? What have you noticed whilst out and about? There may have been some confusion in the last newsletter with post codes on the maps, they are not a very accurate way for a SatNav system that could take one to within a few meters of the destination. We put the nearest code we could find but this can still cover a large area in less inhabited countryside. This time if the code is not near the meeting place we will not put it, but just the OS map grid reference. Where needed Richard will put the Lat/Long on the maps on the website. Let us know how you use the maps and tell us of any problems. For many years Rangers have been using herbicides on scrub that has been cut, to stop the re- growth. In the past this is not something DCV has been happy to do, however this year we’ve been asked a couple of times to cut and spray straight away - using a normal garden weedkiller. We can see the reason for this because it is difficult to re-find stumps of small cut scrub in order to spray, so more logical to do it as we go. There is more information within this newsletter, please read it and then let us know what you think - are you happy doing this? DCV has a mailservice open to all paid up members, though currently only used by a few. It has been set up for everyone to use, to exchange information of interest to the whole group. You can tell us of local events to do with wildlife or countryside, wildlife sightings, things to do with conservation, even arty events. The email address for this mailservice is [email protected] (yes confusing, but it does go to the whole group). Large emails and attachments will be held for approval by Richard. Bring your chit chat out on task! There is also the DCV Facebook page, (on public setting) courtesy of Tony Hogwood, for posting pictures, videos, messages etc. One doesn’t have to join the group page to view the messages or videos just have a Facebook account. See you out in the glorious Dorset countryside soon!

    A guide and list to a collection of Historic Railway Documents www.railarchive.org.uk to e mail click here December 2017 1 Since July 1971, this private collection of printed railway documents from pre grouping and pre nationalisation railway companies based in the UK; has sought to expand it‟s collection with the aim of obtaining a printed sample from each independent railway company which operated (or obtained it‟s act of parliament and started construction). There were over 1,500 such companies and to date the Rail Archive has sourced samples from over 800 of these companies. Early in 2001 the collection needed to be assessed for insurance purposes to identify a suitable premium. The premium cost was significant enough to warrant a more secure and sustainable future for the collection. In 2002 The Rail Archive was set up with the following objectives: secure an on-going future for the collection in a public institution reduce the insurance premium continue to add to the collection add a private collection of railway photographs from 1970‟s onwards provide a public access facility promote the collection ensure that the collection remains together in perpetuity where practical ensure that sufficient finances were in place to achieve to above objectives The archive is now retained by The Bodleian Library in Oxford to deliver the above objectives. This guide which gives details of paperwork in the collection and a list of railway companies from which material is wanted. The aim is to collect an item of printed paperwork from each UK railway company ever opened.

  • Evidence Report 2014
    (A Neighbourhood Plan for Portland, Dorset) Evidence Report April 2014 2 Portland Neighbourhood Plan Evidence Report Contents: Topic Sections: page: Introduction 3 Natural Environment & Built Environment 4 People & Housing 38 Business & Employment 60 Roads & Transport 90 Community & Social Facilities 102 Leisure & Recreation 118 Arts, Culture & Tourism 132 Appendix A 152 © Portland Town Council, 2014 Portland Neighbourhood Plan Evidence Report April 2014 3 Introduction Purpose Planning policy and proposals need to be based on a proper understanding of the place they relate to, if they are to be relevant, realistic and address local issues effectively. It is important that the Neighbourhood Plan is based on robust information and analysis of the local area; this is called the ‘evidence base’. Unless policy is based on firm evidence and proper community engagement, then it is more likely to reflect the assumptions and prejudices of those writing it than to reflect the needs of the wider area and community. We are advised that “the evidence base needs to be proportionate to the size of the neighbourhood area and scope and detail of the Neighbourhood Plan. Other factors such as the status of the current and emerging Local Plan policies will influence the depth and breadth of evidence needed. It is important to remember that the evidence base needs to reflect the fact that the plan being produced here will have statutory status and be used to decide planning applications in the neighbourhood area. It is necessary to develop a clear understanding of the neighbourhood area and policy issues covered; but not to review every piece of research and data in existence – careful selection is needed.”1 The evidence base for the Portland Neighbourhood plan comprises the many reports, documents and papers we have gathered (these are all listed in Appendix A, and are made available for reference via the Neighbourhood Plan website.

  • The Treachery of Strategic Decisions
    The treachery of strategic decisions. An Actor-Network Theory perspective on the strategic decisions that produce new trains in the UK. Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy by Michael John King. May 2021 Abstract The production of new passenger trains can be characterised as a strategic decision, followed by a manufacturing stage. Typically, competing proposals are developed and refined, often over several years, until one emerges as the winner. The winning proposition will be manufactured and delivered into service some years later to carry passengers for 30 years or more. However, there is a problem: evidence shows UK passenger trains getting heavier over time. Heavy trains increase fuel consumption and emissions, increase track damage and maintenance costs, and these impacts could last for the train’s life and beyond. To address global challenges, like climate change, strategic decisions that produce outcomes like this need to be understood and improved. To understand this phenomenon, I apply Actor-Network Theory (ANT) to Strategic Decision-Making. Using ANT, sometimes described as the sociology of translation, I theorise that different propositions of trains are articulated until one, typically, is selected as the winner to be translated and become a realised train. In this translation process I focus upon the development and articulation of propositions up to the point where a winner is selected. I propose that this occurs within a valuable ‘place’ that I describe as a ‘decision-laboratory’ – a site of active development where various actors can interact, experiment, model, measure, and speculate about the desired new trains.

  • Askerswell Forum: Neighbourhood Plan - Pre-Submission Draft 2017 Askerswell Neighbourhood Plan
    Askerswell Forum: Neighbourhood Plan - Pre-Submission Draft 2017 Askerswell Neighbourhood Plan 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 The Askerswell Neighbourhood Plan has been developed for the area of Askerswell Parish all of which lies in the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (Dorset AONB) in the upper part of the Asker Valley, east of Bridport in West Dorset. The village of Askerswell is listed in the Domesday Book. The Parish has 184 residents according to the 2011 Census, and 138 people are on the electoral register (2017). 1.2 West Dorset District Council (WDDC) as the Local Planning Authority designated the Askerswell Forum as the group to develop a Neighbourhood Plan for this area on 10th February 2015. 1.3 The Neighbourhood Plan is compatible with the strategic policies of the Local Plan for West Dorset, Weymouth and Portland, as adopted in 2015. Jointly, these plans describe what types of development will generally be allowed within the defined area of the Parish of Askerswell. They also provide and justify protection within the area to the natural and built environment. Planning applications should be decided in accordance with the adopted Local and Neighbourhood Plan, unless these are over- ridden by other material considerations. 1.4 The Askerswell Neighbourhood Plan has a vision statement that takes full cognisance of residents’ appreciation of living in an exceptional part of the Dorset AONB and the values of the small but cohesive community that is centred on its village. Its distinctive character and level of community pride is evidenced by receiving the Best Small Village in Dorset award four times since 1993 including in 2016.
