Coordinating Group TCG Tactical Coordinating Group September 2020 3 Introduction The Environment Agency has identified Cinderford Brook catchment as an area which has the potential to have a rapid reaction to rainfall and in turn to cause flash flooding, which therefore poses a special threat to life within the surrounding communities. If this extreme flooding does happen it is expected to be of great depth and speed with the ability to destroy buildings and bridges, lift and carry vehicles away and in most cases the force of the water would sweep people off their feet. This flash flooding is only expected to occur after very extreme weather. Rivers and streams in these catchments have the ability to flood in any given year, but the chance of them flooding in such a severe way is exceptional. However these types of flood are likely to happen more often in the future as climate change alters weather patterns. There is a high risk of loss of life within the identified catchment areas (Drybrook, Cinderford, Ruspidge & Soudley) during an extreme flood due to: - the steep catchment area with a fast response to flood water; - fast moving flood water; - busy summer periods when there are visitors without knowledge of flood risk; - debris, mobilised by flood waters, travelling at high velocities - buildings that could be structurally damaged by flooding. 1.1 Aim To raise awareness that Cinderford Brook Catchment area has been identified as communities that are at risk from flash flooding, and to outline the response to this type of flooding. 1.2 Objectives To provide information on the properties, infrastructure and vulnerable communities potentially at risk from a rapid flood incident. To provide an outline of the Community engagement/flood awareness measures undertaken/planned to raise awareness and enable the local community and relevant businesses to be more resilient to a rapid flood incident. 1.3 Scope This plan focuses on flash flooding within the Cinderford Brook Catchment area (affecting the communities of Drybrook, Cinderford, Ruspidge & Soudley) and the specific response arrangements to such a flooding incident. September 2020 4 To avoid duplication, this plan does not provide detailed information on the operational flood response by Forest of Dean District Council or the tactical/ strategic multi-agency response to a flooding emergency, as this is covered by Multi-Agency Flood Plan. This plan is also supported by emergency response arrangements detailed in a number of other relevant LRF and individual agency’s plans (see section 4). As such, this plan does not duplicate the arrangements/ procedures provided by such plans. The geographical scope of this plan is for flash flooding occurring within the Cinderford Brook Catchment area. The area identified as potentially at risk is shown in Appendix 1. Background Information 2.1 Catchment Description Cinderford Brook is the main watercourse through and around Cinderford, though it is fed by numerous drains. The Brook flows roughly in a southern direction from Nailbridge (SO 64626 16292) to Steam Mills (SO 64760 15665) where it bifurcates. The left branch continues as the Old Engine Brook for 0.4 kilometres. The right branch flows south east through a large pond, which is a result

  • February 2021
    The Ruspidge & Soudley Parish Newsletter February 2021 Comment COVID-19 Following the sad demise of our dear friend Jeff, I took over as Editor of the ViewPoint at the beginning of last year. I recall my first edition (April 2020) mentioning Covid-19 and the newly imposed lockdown. Almost a year on, it seems like groundhog day! We are daily bombarded by doom and gloom, cases have risen, as have deaths - and we are STILL in lockdown! There is a glimmer of hope in the very recent reduction in number of cases in the FoD but sadly, deaths (topped 100,000 as I write) have risen. Lets hope that we are nearing the peak of this pandemic and that the number of infections, and then deaths will continue downward. Of course, there is a welcome ray of hope - the VACCINE! Forest GP’s and others have so far done a sterling job in very quickly vaccinating the elderly - and continue to do so. Judging by reports, FoD clinicians are rated as amongst the highest in terms of number of jabs administered. We owe them all our gratitude and support. Sad to say, it looks as if it will be a long time before life returns to something like normal I suspect that will be an even longer time before I do not mention COVID-19 in this journal. More Covid-19 related information below:- Your Council Needs YOU! Please consider joining your Parish Council. Three vacancies remain to achieve a full council. There is no deadline for applications. Council is happy to receive applications until all seats are taken.

Excluding listed places of worship, for which the survey is still incomplete,1,150 assets have been removed for positive reasons since the Register was launched in 2008.The sites that remain at risk tend to be the more intractable ones where solutions are taking longer to implement. While the overall number of buildings at risk has fallen, the average conservation deficit for each property has increased from £260k (1999) to £370k (2012).We are also seeing a steady increase in the proportion of buildings that are capable of beneficial re-use – those that have become redundant not because of any fundamental lack of potential, but simply as the temporary victims of the current economic climate. The South West headlines for 2012 reveal a mixed picture. We will continue to fund Monument Management It is good news that 8 buildings at risk have been removed Schemes which, with match-funding from local authorities, from the Register; less good that another 15 have had to offer a cost-effective, locally led approach to tackling be added.

INTRODUCTION: WHAT WE ARE AIMING FOR AND WHY The ‘Commons Stories’ workshops arise out of a major research project, the ‘Contested Common Land’ project, undertaken in a collaboration between Newcastle Law School and Lancaster University History Department between 2007 and 2010. It was funded by the Arts & Humanities Research Council, which has now provided further funding to enable us to build up a store of knowledge about common land in England and Wales, past and present. The Contested Common Land project adopted a case study approach, focusing on four areas of common land, three of which (Elan Valley (Powys), Eskdale (Cumbria) and Ingleborough (North Yorkshire)) were extensive upland grazing commons; the fourth (Brancaster and Thornham (North Norfolk)) encompassed lowland commons and coastal marshes, with extensive use of common rights for recreational purposes (such as wildfowling).

The policies in the Core Strategy use these relationships and the general hierarchy of settlements. 1.2 The role of this paper is therefore to; Explain the role of national policy in the hierarchy Provide background evidence for a settlement hierarchy as used in the LDF 1.3 An understanding of the settlement hierarchy is important as the Local Development Framework (LDF) must set out a clear order of preference for the location of development. This needs to be robust, not just for the short term in the context of limited or no housing supply, but in the longer term when development requirements change.

Introduction Gloucestershire’s Local Area Agreement is now in its second year. This refreshed LAA builds on the strong foundations provided by our recently-agreed Sustainable Community Strategy, and on the priorities we set out in our first Local Area Agreement. This last year has seen partners focussing their efforts on the outcomes agreed at the beginning of April 2007. Partners have worked together to target issues ranging from reducing anti-social behaviour to promoting renewable energy installations and increasing the number of adults gaining NVQ2-level qualifications. In some areas partners have achieved national acclaim – Gloucestershire’s Warm and Well scheme has been held up as a national exemplar by DeFRA – and in all areas we have worked to join up our efforts to tackle what is important to local people. Over the coming three years partners will work to improve outcomes for children, support people back into work, improve skills for all age groups, reduce smoking, support carers, help older people to live more independent lives, tackle fuel poverty, address the causes and consequences of climate change, tackle crime and the fear of crime, and continue to make Gloucestershire a place where people want to live, work and visit.
