Roger Langston Chairman of the Parish Council I S S U E S I X SPRING 2008 Welcome to the Sixth Edition of Quedgeley Working with the Community for the Community Parish Council’s Newsletter Welcome to Quedgeley Parish Council’s Newsletter. I am pleased to say that since our last newsletter we have four new parish Councillors including representation from the Kingsway development and all are most welcome. On behalf of local residents I attended the Hunts Grove Inquiry and was most disappointed at the way it was conducted in not giving local people a fair hearing. Together with three other nearby parishes we have made our views known to the Secretary of State. It remains now to see what decision is made and how it will affect Quedgeley.

Up Close with County Councillor Jackie Hall I have lived in Quedgeley since 1979 and represented Quedgeley since 1997 as County Councillor. During that time I’ve seen a great many changes. In 1979 there was one corner shop, situated opposite the entrance to School Lane and the bus used to run every hour! We do have more facilities and we now have the long awaited South West By-Pass in place, but with the growing population at Kingsway I fear that these facilities are not enough. Some residents have expressed concerns that GP appointments aren’t always readily available when you need them. I am working with the NHS and developers, along- side your City and Parish Councillors to try and improve these facilities and ensure that the new development has community facilities of its own. If you wish to contact me: Jackie Hall 01452 883463 or Email [email protected] Out and About in Quedgeley.......... Quedgeley Area Conservation Association (QACA) is a group of people, and members who are dedicated to saving the remaining open spaces within the Quedgeley area. We have a Committee that meets every month to discuss current issues. We work closely with the Parish Council, local Police and other organisations and are actively seeking to gain Charitable status which will enable us to reach our aims. These are to secure and take control of areas like the Local Nature Re- serve, The Ancient Listed Monument (The Moat) and other areas around Quedgeley. Once we have control, these areas will be completely free from future development. We are trying to promote these areas, for example we are working with the local scouts to build bird boxes to line a corridor from the nature reserve to the apple or- chard at Green Farm. We have re- ceived a grant from Quedgeley Community Trust, which will enable us to do this. We are also looking at putting a seat and two litter bins in the Local Nature Reserve and want to start a Youth Membership, to encourage the youth of Quedgeley to have their say in what happens in their environment. If you would like more details about QACA visit our web site www.qaca.org.uk or telephone 01452 722582 We are desperately seeking people from Kingsway to form a new group Gloucester South Police Station 48 th Gloucester Scout Group Located at St James, Quedgeley is one of We currently run Beaver Scouts and Cub Scouts, unfortunately seventeen Inspector Neighbourhood Areas due to a lack of leaders we have children who want to move up to (INA's) within the county.

  • Praying for God's Kingdom to Come in Gloucester City Churches
    Praying for God’s Kingdom to come in Gloucester City Churches Together in Gloucester May 2021 – and beyond… Lord, enlarge our vision of your work in Gloucester, and empower us afresh to play our part. Thy Kingdom come! Amen 1 2 Dear friends in the churches and Christian communities of Gloucester City When Jesus’ friends asked him how to pray, he responded “pray ’Father in heaven… Your Kingdom come…’” (Luke chapter 11). As we approach Pentecost, we’re taking part in a great wave of prayer across the world. We invite you to share in praying expectantly during the 11 days from 13 to 23 May, and beyond, for our life and mission across the city. To inform our prayers, we asked leaders of all the churches and Christian communities in Gloucester to share: • “one key area for which you thankful to God ; • one key area for which you are asking God ”. In this booklet we list all the churches and communities contacted, and all replies received. They are grouped into 11 days: the churches roughly by area, followed by chaplaincies, education and other organisations. We start each day with a Bible verse for reflection. As we cautiously re-emerge, like tender new shoots after the pruning of the pandemic lockdown, we’re carrying something of the pain of grief, loss and division, while facing the deepening challenge of climate change. May God use our prayers to release hope, and to grow us together into the temple of the Holy Spirit that we are, for God’s glory, and for God’s Kingdom to come in Gloucester – soon! Thank you for all your prayers.

  • Air Pollution in Hills from the Proposed Gloucestershire Incinerator
    Air pollution in hills from the proposed Gloucestershire incinerator Ashley, Plume Plotter [email protected] October 8, 2015 Revised October 21, 2015 We use AERMOD to model emissions from the proposed Gloucestershire incinerator and compare the resulting predictions with those in the original Air Quality Assessment [1]. Our predictions are in very good agreement with those of [1]. One difference is the direction of the most polluted area, caused by the difference between the wind direction in Bristol (used by [1]) and in Gloucestershire (used by us). The other difference is the level of pollution on the hills to the east of the incinerator. We predict higher pollution in these hills, which (in particular) causes the nitrogen deposition rate in the Cotswold Beechwoods to exceed 1% of the critical level. It also causes some elevated towns and villages (including Edge, Randwick, and Minchinhampton) to join the list of places most affected by the incinerator pollution. 1. Methods We aim to reproduce some of the modelling experiments reported in [1], but there are some unavoidable differences in our methods, which are explained here. 1.1 Software and parameters The main difference is that we do not use the ADMS software [2], used by the authors of [1], partly because of its prohibitive cost. Instead we use AERMOD [3], with its companion software, AERMET, to preprocess meteorological data. In the remainder of this paper we refer to the AERMOD/AERMET combination as simply “AERMOD”. We use the latest versions of AERMOD and AERMET, dated August 2015. AERMOD calculates the predicted concentration of a specified pollutant at each location at ground level.
