Date of Next Meeting 26th July 2018 27th September 2018 29th November 2018 AGENDA ITEM 1 FIRST REPORT South Gloucestershire Council News Release Popular Open Access Libraries set to extend early opening hours More than 3,600 people have signed up to use South Gloucestershire libraries using Open Access technology in the first six months since changes to the service were introduced last year. Open Access enables users to use the library during unstaffed hours through swipe card technology and provides access to books and other services through earlier opening and later closing times for up to seven days-a-week. In October 2017, with the council required to save £500,000, staffed hours were reduced. To help mitigate this, Open Access technology was rolled out across most of the council’s libraries. In response, more than 3,600 had signed up to Open Access as of April, with an average of 215 members attending the short induction sessions each month. The service has been monitoring usage and feedback from users and there are plans to extend early-morning opening hours for Open Access users from July, when libraries will be open from 8.00 am to enable people travelling to work and school to access the service. Open Access has been installed at Bradley Stoke, Cadbury Heath, Downend, Emersons Green, Filton, Patchway, Staple Hill, Thornbury, Winterbourne and Yate libraries. Kingswood will have Open Access technology added when the library moves into the Civic Centre building in the New Year. Bradley Stoke library is now fully open, the new technology was installed there earlier as part of the Council’s refurbishment to Bradley Stoke leisure centre. That experience proved a very useful test bed from which the council gained valuable customer feedback which helped inform the wider roll-out. The whole building is now open to registered users and in the last few months we have also improved the network speed and created a quiet room with computer desks which is proving very popular. The council wanted to avoid closing any libraries and implemented a range of actions to ensure that communities continued to have access to a library service. At Chipping Sodbury, a partnership arrangement with Sodbury Town Council has enabled the library to continue to operate with, the council continuing to provide books, IT and support and Sodbury Town Council recruiting and managing a 41 strong group of volunteers to keep the service open for 21 hours a-week.

  • Pucklechurch Is a Village
    Pucklechurch is a village with an incredibly rich past, from the Bronze Age with its tumulus on Shortwood Hill, up to the siting of a barrage balloon depot in World War II. This walk aims to guide people both local and visitor, around some of the fascinating historic sites in the village centre. Not many Parishes in England can point to the former existence of a Royal building within their boundaries - Pucklechurch is an exception. Not only that, as the Anglo Saxon Chronicle tells us, King Edmund was in fact murdered here, at his hunting lodge, in 946: A.D. 946 . This year King Edmund died, on St. Augustine s mass day. That was widely known, Take a walk around how he ended his days: that Leof stabbed him at Pucklechurch. the centre of Leof was supposedly an outlaw, someone that had Pucklechurch, been exiled by the King.

  • Contaminated Land Is Affecting Controlled Waters and Their Quality, and Where the Environment Agency Will Also Have Other Concerns Under Other Legislation
    APPENDIX 1 Geology and Mineral Resources South Gloucestershire extends from the Severn Estuary in the East to the Cotswolds to the west. Geologically the area is very varied, having representations of nearly every Geological System exposed at the surface, the exceptions being the Ordovician and Cretaceous. Generally the older Palaeozoic rocks are exposed in the centre of South Gloucestershire, with younger Mesozoic rocks to the east and north- east. More recent estuarine alluvial deposits cover the Lowlands adjacent to the Severn Estuary in the west. In landscape terms much of South Gloucestershire is anomalous in that the outcrops of older and harder Palaeozoic rocks do not form uplands but are characterised by low undulating terrain. This is because much of the area formed part of an ancient erosion surface which was reduced to a low relief before the deposition of the Mesozoic strata. It is therefore the younger rocks, most notably limestones of Jurassic age, which form the highest land of South Gloucestershire, that being the Cotswold escarpment to the east. - 88 - Figure 3 - Simplified Geology of South Gloucestershire showing sites of mineral extraction - 89 - The alluvial flatlands adjacent to the Severn Estuary are extensive and form a distinctly contrasting landscape to that of the central and eastern parts of South Gloucestershire. Flat pastures predominate, bounded by drainage ditches, known locally as ‘rhines’. Rarely does the land in this area rise above 6 metres AOD. Nearly all the rivers west of the Cotswold scarp flow into the Severn Estuary, whereas those which follow the dip slope to the east, other than the Bristol Avon which detours to the west, join the River Thames.

Introduction 1.1 This documentary research report was commissioned by Cotswold Archaeology in August 2010, and concerns a 26-hectare site at Park Farm, Thornbury, in South Gloucestershire (central grid ref ST 6368 9146). This consists of five pasture fields and has been proposed as the site of a housing development; it is immediately adjacent to the Thornbury Conservation Area to the south-west. The site has previously been the subject of an archaeological desk-based assessment compiled by Cotswold Archaeology in March 2010. It is likely that the interpretation of the site will be considerably enhanced by research into the documentary sources. This research report forms part of an extensive investigation of the heritage content of the site, undertaken before the determination of planning consent, which also includes an archaeological desk-based assessment, a geophysical survey, a Lidar survey and an archaeological field evaluation.
