Our combined Updating and Screening Assessment (USA) integrates the Local Air Quality Management (LAQM) reporting duties for our former District Councils into a single document. This document is structured in such a way that Updating and Screening Assessment data for the former District Council areas are reported in individual chapters. For reporting purposes, it should be noted that: • Kennet – refers to the former Kennet District Council area; • North Wiltshire – refers to the former North Wiltshire District Council area; • Salisbury – refers to the former Salisbury District Council area; and • West Wiltshire – refers to the former West Wiltshire District Council area. There are currently five Air Quality Management Areas within the Wiltshire Council administrative area, these are: • Whole city centre AQMA in the Salisbury area; • London Road (near St Mark’s roundabout) in the Salisbury area; • Wilton Road (near St Paul’s roundabout) in the Salisbury area; • Bradford on Avon in the West Wiltshire area; and • Westbury in the West Wiltshire area. This combined Updating and Screening Assessment for 2009 has concluded the following: • Kennet area – Monitoring data has indicated exceedences of the NO2 annual mean objective at Upper Herd Street and Shane’s Castle – both of these locations are being considered in an ongoing Detailed Assessment. No new Detailed Assessment is required based on monitoring data or the assessment of sources. Previous rounds of Review and Assessment has indicated that there are no other pollutants of concern. • North Wiltshire area - No Detailed Assessment is required based on monitoring data or the assessment of sources. Previous rounds of Review and Assessment has indicated that there are no other pollutants of concern. • Salisbury area - Monitoring data has indicated exceedences of the NO2 annual mean objective in the Salisbury AQMAs in 2006, 2007 and 2008, therefore, the AQMAs are still justified. There was one exceedence of the iii Wiltshire Council – Updating and Screening Assessment 2009 NO2 annual mean objective outside of the current AQMAs, therefore, a Detailed Assessment is required at Queen Street, Wilton. No Detailed Assessment is required based on the assessment of sources. Previous rounds of Review and Assessment has indicated that there are no other pollutants of concern. • West Wiltshire area - Monitoring data has indicated exceedences of the NO2 annual mean objective have in the Bradford on Avon and Westbury AQMAs in 2006, 2007 and 2008, therefore, the AQMAs are still justified. There were no exceedence of the NO2 annual mean objective outside of the current AQMAs, therefore, no Detailed Assessment is required. No Detailed Assessment is required based on the assessment of sources. Previous rounds of Review and Assessment has indicated that there are no other pollutants of concern. Proposed actions for subsequent Review and Assessment reporting duties will include: • Completion and submission of the ongoing Upper Herd Street and Shane’s Castle Detailed Assessment for NO2 (annual mean objective); • Completion and submission of the Queen Street, Wilton Detailed Assessment for NO2 (annual mean objective) in 2010; • Completion and Submission of a Review and Assessment Progress Report in 2010; and • Completion and Submission of a Air Quality Action Plan Progress Report in 2010 (this may be integrated in to the Review and Assessment Progress Report). iv Wiltshire Council – Updating and Screening Assessment 2009 Table of Contents Document Control Sheet ii Executive Summary iii Table of Contents v List of Figures vii List of Tables ix 1 Chapter 1 -

  • Addendum to School Places Strategy 2017-2022 – Explanation of the Differences Between Wiltshire Community Areas and Wiltshire School Planning Areas
    Addendum to School Places Strategy 2017-2022 – Explanation of the differences between Wiltshire Community Areas and Wiltshire School Planning Areas This document should be read in conjunction with the School Places Strategy 2017 – 2022 and provides an explanation of the differences between the Wiltshire Community Areas served by the Area Boards and the School Planning Areas. The Strategy is primarily a school place planning tool which, by necessity, is written from the perspective of the School Planning Areas. A School Planning Area (SPA) is defined as the area(s) served by a Secondary School and therefore includes all primary schools in the towns and surrounding villages which feed into that secondary school. As these areas can differ from the community areas, this addendum is a reference tool to aid interested parties from the Community Area/Area Board to define which SPA includes the schools covered by their Community Area. It is therefore written from the Community Area standpoint. Amesbury The Amesbury Community Area and Area Board covers Amesbury town and surrounding parishes of Tilshead, Orcheston, Shrewton, Figheldean, Netheravon, Enford, Durrington (including Larkhill), Milston, Bulford, Cholderton, Wilsford & Lake, The Woodfords and Great Durnford. It encompasses the secondary schools The Stonehenge School in Amesbury and Avon Valley College in Durrington and includes primary schools which feed into secondary provision in the Community Areas of Durrington, Lavington and Salisbury. However, the School Planning Area (SPA) is based on the area(s) served by the Secondary Schools and covers schools in the towns and surrounding villages which feed into either The Stonehenge School in Amesbury or Avon Valley College in Durrington.

  • The Society of Friends in Wiltshire1
    The Society of Friends in Wiltshire1 OR the work of George Fox in Wiltshire see Wilts Notes <§ Queries, ii, 125-9, and The Journal of George Fox, Fed. N. Penney (Cambridge Edn.). The subsequent history of the Quakers in the county can be traced from the MS. records of the various quarterly and monthly meetings, from the Friends' Book of Meetings published annually since 1789 and the List of Members of the Quarterly Meeting of Bristol and Somerset, published annually since 1874. For the MS. records see Jnl. of Friends' Hist. Soc., iv, 24. The records are now at Friends House, Euston Road, London. From the beginning of the eighteenth century, the Quakers' story is of a decline which was gradual until 1750 and thereafter very rapid. The Methodists and Moravians largely supplanted them. An interesting example of the change over from Quakerism to Methodism is to be found in Thomas R. Jones' The Departed Worthy (1857). This book tells the life story of Charles Maggs, a distinguished Melksham Methodist. When Maggs first went to Melksham just after 1800 he made the acquaintance of two Methodists named Abraham Shewring and Thomas Rutty. The family names of Shewring and Rutty both occur in Melksham Quaker records between 1700 and 1750. Even more interesting is the fact that Abraham Shewring was known as " the Quaker Methodist " and that Charles Maggs found that " the quiet manner in which the service was conducted scarcely suited his warm and earnest heart "* WILTSHIRE QUARTERLY MEETING, c. 1667-1785 By 1680 the number of Quaker meetings in Wilts had reached its maximum.
