We have experienced the wonderful friendship of the necessary refuelling station. the Murvi Club on all the occasions we have attended Murvi The main business for the Rally was the AGM, and that was “does”, and Cheddar was no exception – in fact for us it was an efficiently and pleasantly disposed off by our excellent utter joy to be surrounded by pleasant and agreeable people committee. who were, as usual, friendly, hospitable, and always willing to Help… (we had tap problems and Dean and Tony were The Club Committee ............. marvellous :- only too willing to give of their time to try to help! ) Our particular interests put us in touch with Jacquie who explained about her dog basket on her bike, and Hanneke who was most forthcoming on the benefits of a Dutch cycling holiday.. she even sent us by email a detailed guide to Holland! Many thanks to all!!!! (Perhaps Murvi ought to have a Cycling Meet in Holland!!!) Going Walkies ..... And the Club Members Then followed the shared supper… a veritable feast provided by all – each brought a dish. All was arranged on tables that The Murvi Peloton stretched across the room , and the total result was stupendous. Every day there was a stream of “activists” … either on foot or Food, glorious food! on bikes… setting off on their adventures. With our disability we were only too happy to “exert” (!) ourselves by using our electric bikes to go the odd half mile to the town which we found to be utterly delightful… nice shops with a supermarket and delightful stores dotted around…… We enjoyed poodling around, and the impressive centre certainly is memorable. But then for us first time visitors to Cheddar the Gorge seemed to be Somerset’s answer to the Grand Canyon!!! Thus ended a most enjoyable Murvi Meet… with many thanks to the organisers… especially to Karin for her close attention to Cheddar Centre the stewarding duties….. The success of these rallies doubtless increases the desire of members to participate, which puts a great strain on the organisers for locating sites which can accommodate our ever growing numbers of members!!!

There were fifty- six members and seven dogs, in twenty-nine motorhomes variously scattered across the unmarked pitches. The ground was very sloping but with superb views to the North-west across Gerrans and Veryan Bays. Facilities were good but supplies had to be obtained by walking into Portscatho, something of an up-and-down challenge for the less agile. The electricity failed on half the pitches on the final evening (a Sunday!) but everyone seemed to manage OK. Almost everyone stayed for all four nights and a varied programme was offered by John Laidler.

The recommended route went from the bottom of the campsite to the cliff-top South-West Coast Path and thence to the harbour of Portscatho. On this route a lovely Methodist chapel had a self-service espresso machine with an honesty box and there were Public Conveniences nearby. What more could you ask? On the first full day John had devised a gentle stroll to the slipway at Percuil opposite St. Mawes on the Percuil River. The circular tour was about three miles long and was, as promised by John, pretty flat and undemanding. There were even loos at Caerhays Castle Percuil but no refreshments. A free afternoon was followed by another post-prandial trip to the Plume of Feathers where John had reserved a room that magnolias, rhododendrons and azaleas, as well as possessing a was overwhelmed by the number of Meeters who joined him small rockery (disappointing) and a fernery (fascinating).

  • Ibberton Millennium Book FINAL COPY.Pmd
    Ibberton Village in the Year 2000 BY THE VILLAGE FOR THE VILLAGE THE VILLAGE VIEWED FROM THE CHURCH This is a record of the village of Ibberton in the Year 2000 told by the people who live here. Villagers’ accounts of their lifestyle provide a snapshot in time and comparisons are briefly drawn with bygone days. Ordinary annual events and activities provide a perspective on community life. There are also reports on the special projects and events that contributed to the Millennium Year Celebrations. ABRISTENTONA TO IBBERTON One thousand years ago the Doomsday Book records the Saxon name of our settlement as Abristentona, and over the years the name gradually developed into Ibberton. The village nestles in the lee of Bulbarrow Hill and evolved according to prevailing circumstances. In the early days lack of understanding about the techniques of land clearance and drainage resulted in the dwellings and cultivated land being sited on the lower chalk slopes and green sand immedi- ately around and below the church where numerous springs provided water. Evidence of the early settlement is found in the terraced slopes on the hillside above Manor House Farm. A knowledge of drainage and land clearance enabled the community to develop the lower ground where the major part of the village is now sited. The village has had many owners, the most historically famous was probably Henry VIII’s wife Catherine Howard, although there is no evidence that she ever resided at the Manor House. In the nineteen seventies the last large landowner, the Pitt Rivers family, sold off much of the land and houses into private ownership, but prior to that the farms and cottages would have been leased from the Estate.

PERSONAL QUALIFICATIONS AND SCOPE OF EVIDENCE Personal Qualifications 1.1 My name is Chris Nelson (MDA, FCMI, DipM, C Dip AF, BSc (Hons)). I have recently taken over as Chairman of Leckhampton with Warden Hill Parish Council and have been an active member of the Council for the last 5 years. I was also one of the Borough Councillors for Leckhampton from 2014-2018. Prior to that, I was in the defence business, retiring as a Vice President of a US company, after a full career in the military, reaching the rank of full Colonel. 1.2 Over the last few years I have gained extensive experience of a wide range of local planning matters. I sat on the Borough Planning Committee for 4 years and took an active part in the formulation of the Joint Core Housing Strategy (JCS), participating throughout its many years of development. The JCS, covering 3 local authorities, took several years to finish and spent more time studying the Leckhampton Fields and its associated issues of sustainable development than any other matter under its investigation. I was part of the Rule 6 Parish Council team which defended and won the Bovis/Miller Appeal for its 650-dwelling development on the adjacent Leckhampton Fields (DCLG Reference: APP/B1605/W/14/3001717, CBC Reference: 13/01605/OUT – at Annex 5 of this Proof of Evidence).

Application 19-00334 OUT - Land off at Kidnappers Lane Robert Hitchins Ltd Comments by Leckhampton with Warden Hill Parish Council The Council strongly objects to the application on the following grounds: This application is a revised version of the application 16/00202/OUT that was submitted by the Robert Hitchins in 2016. That application was refused by Cheltenham Borough Council and the subsequent appeal (reference APP/B1605/W/17/3178952) was also dismissed on 4 April 2018. The revised application has sought to address some of the reasons that the first application was rejected but it provides little improvement over its predecessor. The site is surrounded by valued landscape and the impact of any development on the valued landscape is one key issue. The site is also close to Leckhampton Hill and very visible from the Hill. Its impact on this view is a second key issue. Thirdly, the site is in the middle of a semi-rural area that is proposed for designation as a Local Green Space in the emerging Cheltenham Plan.

This report has been submitted directly to the Shadow Executive Committee without prior consideration by the County Council’s Cabinet as it is time critical to the need to make a self-assessment submission to the Department for Transport, due on the 1st February 2019. The report summarises proposals for the Capital Highways forward programme, which is inclusive of maintenance programmes across different asset groups as well as proposed Highway Improvement programmes. The report includes proposed schemes for Christchurch and so recommendations are being made to the Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole Shadow Executive as well as to the Dorset Shadow Executive Committee. The £2.3million incentivised element of our funding from the Department for Transport has criteria that we must conform to, to ensure we remain in the top band, securing 100% funding. One of those criteria is to ensure forward programmes of work are signed off by senior decision makers. Impact Assessment: Equalities Impact Assessment: This report does not contain a new strategy, policy or function which would require an EQIA to be completed. Use of Evidence: Page 2 – Capital Highways Forward Programme The sites are based on existing strategies and supporting data used in both identification and prioritisation of schemes.
