Mendip District Council Election Results 1973-2011 Mendip District Council Election Results 1973-2011 Colin Rallings and Michael Thrasher The Elections Centre Plymouth University The information contained in this report has been obtained from a number of sources. Election results from the immediate post-reorganisation period were painstakingly collected by Alan Willis largely, although not exclusively, from local newspaper reports. From the mid- 1980s onwards the results have been obtained from each local authority by the Elections Centre. The data are stored in a database designed by Lawrence Ware and maintained by Brian Cheal and others at Plymouth University. Despite our best efforts some information remains elusive whilst we accept that some errors are likely to remain. Notice of any mistakes should be sent to [email protected]. The results sequence can be kept up to date by purchasing copies of the annual Local Elections Handbook, details of which can be obtained by contacting the email address above. Front cover: the graph shows the distribution of percentage vote shares over the period covered by the results. The lines reflect the colours traditionally used by the three main parties. The grey line is the share obtained by Independent candidates while the purple line groups together the vote shares for all other parties. Rear cover: the top graph shows the percentage share of council seats for the main parties as well as those won by Independents and other parties. The lines take account of any by- election changes (but not those resulting from elected councillors switching party allegiance) as well as the transfers of seats during the main round of local election. The lower graph shows for each main round of local elections the overall percentage turnout (solid line), the percentage of women candidates standing at (dotted line) and the percentage of women among those elected (hashed line).

The Mendip Hills AONB Management Plan once adopted is a material consideration in the planning process, both for plan-making and decision-taking. Attached, proposed agenda for the Planning Workshop to be held on Monday, 4th June 2018, 9:30 (start 10:00)-1:00 (lunch provided) at the Mendip Hills AONB Unit offices at Charterhouse in the Mendip Hills. Please could you forward on the invitation to relevant planning managers and it would be good to have at least 1-2 representatives (planning or landscaping officers) from the Local Planning Authorities and Natural England. It will also be a good opportunity for officers from the different LPAs/Natural England to liaise on the Mendip Hills AONB and cross-boundary considerations. Please could officer attendance be confirmed to the Mendip Hills AONB Unit by Friday, 25th May 2018 ([email protected] or Tel: 01761 462338) together with any dietary or other requirements.

Present: Cllr C Abbott (Chair), Cllr J Scarrow, Cllr G Hitchins, Cllr M Walker, Cllr Eastment and Cllr B Lund. In attendance: Nicola Duke (Parish Clerk) and 5 members of the public. Public Participation Mrs Lucy Trott – spoke regarding agenda item 7925(c) re: pedestrian crossing at Bell Hill. It was noted that the school was currently without a lollipop person but it was also noted that the lollipop service did not cover pre-school hours. Mrs Trott reported that parents had expressed concern at the dangers of crossing Bell Hill with small children, due to the speed and volume of the traffic and asked for consideration to be given to a zebra or pelican crossing to address this problem. Cllr Scarrow confirmed that she shared the concerns raised and reported that the issue had been discussed at a recent governor’s meeting. She expressed concern that the 20 mph limit was not slowing the traffic down as it came into the village. Cllr Eastment reported that there were technical issues relating to the installation of any pedestrian crossing. He reported that the lollipop lady had left her post due to safety concerns. He also reported that the speed indicator device had been installed at the bottom of Bell Hill and the data would be extracted and reported to the police and to Highways.

  • The Late Pleistocene Sequence at Wells, Somerset
    Proc. Univ. Bristol Spelaeol. Soc, 1988, l« (2), 241-257 THE LATE PLEISTOCENE SEQUENCE AT WELLS, SOMERSET by D. T. DONOVAN ABSTRACT Late Quaternary deposits and geomorphologicai features within a radius of about 4 km of Wells, Somerset, England are reviewed. The earliest well dated occurrence is the Hippopotamus fauna from Milton Hill, assigned to the warm interglacial episode corresponding to Oxygen Isolopc Stage 5c in deep sea cores. The dissected Reward Grave! is thoughl to be older, perhaps O.I.S. 6. The Wookey Hole ravine developed during ihe early part of the lasi glaeiulion (O.I.S. 5?), the Ebbor gorge later (O.I.S. 37) The Wells and Wookey Station gravel spreads, the former with woolly rhinoceros and ?mummoth, are correlated with the maximum glacial advance of the Late Devensian. INTRODUCTION The City of Wells has in its immediate vicinity an unusually rich assortment of Late Pleistocene deposits and sites. Many of these were investigated by the late H. E. Balch, Curator of Wells Museum, and his finds are to be found in the Museum along with more casual discoveries. The present paper is an attempt to survey some of this material and its chronological significance. It is convenient to deal in some detail with the Late Pleistocene as defined by Bovven et a!. (1987, p. 299), that is, beginning at the base of Oxygen Isotope Stage 5e. Middle Pleistocene deposits of great importance are found at Westbury-sub-Mendip, only 6 km from Wells (Bishop, 1982) but at present they cannot be satisfactorily connected with the chronology of the later deposits.

  • Excursion to Radstock, 95
    46 Thirty-sixth Annual Meeting, the time of Elizabeth. The Spanish treasure ships brought much money into the country. Mr. Green said no doubt the reign of Queen Elizabeth was an extremely prosperous one. Holdings in the earlier times were very small. The yeomen were the freeholders or copy-holders, as distinguished from other cultivators of land let to farm. A labourer was totally distinct. Mr. Chisholm Batten, in the course of the evening, ex- hibited a silver cup or chalice, found in a priest’s coffin at Wells. The meeting then closed. The weather proved most unfavourable, a fine rain descend- ing steadily throughout the day. This being almost the first wet day, after an extraordinary and dry summer, the circum- stance was especially vexing; as, besides the fine views, the district to be traversed was of especial geological interest, and so required exactly opposite conditions. The breaks left Shepton at half-past nine, and, passing through Doulting by Long Cross, to Tad Hill, turned there to This was found undergoing ^‘restoration.” The Hon. Sec., in a few remarks, hoped the restoration would mean preservation. He also related the occurence of a singular outrage, about 1858, when a gun, loaded with blood instead of shot, was fired, during service, through the west window of the north aisle, at the incumbent, who was knocked out of the reading desk. Mr. Ferret said the most striking feature in the church was its beautiful and lofty western tower, of the best period of of Perpendicular. Situated on a high part of the Mendip district, it had evidently been built as a kind of land-mark, like the tower at Dundry.

The gorge and caves at Cheddar are well-known. Further east near Frome there are Silurian volcanics, Carboniferous Limestone outcrops, Variscan thrust tectonics, Permo-Triassic conglomerates, sediment-filled fissures, a classic unconformity, Jurassic clays and limestones, Cretaceous Greensand and Chalk topped with Tertiary remnants including sarsen stones-a veritable geological park! Elsewhere in Mendip are reminders of coal and lead mining both in the field and museums. Today the Mendips are a major source of aggregates. The Mesozoic formations curve in an arc through southwest and southeast Somerset creating vales and escarpments that define the landscape and clearly have influenced the patterns of soils, land use and settlement as at Porlock. The church building stones mark the outcrops. Wilder country can be found in the Quantocks, Brendon Hills and Exmoor which are underlain by rocks of Devonian age and within which lie sunken blocks (half-grabens) containing Permo-Triassic sediments. The coastline contains exposures of Devonian sediments and tectonics west of Minehead adjoining the classic exposures of Mesozoic sediments and structural features which extend eastward to the Parrett estuary. The predominance of wave energy from the west and the large tidal range of the Bristol Channel has resulted in rapid cliff erosion and longshore drift to the east where there is a full suite of accretionary landforms: sandy beaches, storm ridges, salt marsh, and sand dunes popular with summer visitors.
