It aims to provide the context for further more detailed work associated with identifying a prioritised list of cycling and walking improvements. It also provides a summary of Gloucestershire County Council’s existing understanding of the ‘barriers’ of participation. It should be noted that this is primarily related to cycling. 1.3 It is Gloucestershire County Council’s (GCC) long-term aim to produce a number of Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan’s (LCWIP) based on our Local Transport Plan (LTP) Connecting Places Strategy areas. The initial LCWIP will focus on Cheltenham and Gloucester in the CSV area. 1.4 Through this process we aim to engage with a variety of people to fully understand the range of barriers people have to cope with and what changes can be made to improve the quality of environment to enable more people to walk and cycle. For cycling this will be focussed on sections of the countywide cycleway within Cheltenham and Gloucester. For walking this will be focussed on accessing the Cheltenham Spa station and Gloucester bus and rail stations. 1.5 It is important to move away from a culture where the car is the dominant mode of transport towards one where the car is one transport choice within a range of realistic travel options. Gloucestershire’s CSV Walking Infrastructure Plan (CWIP) will enable this. 1.6 The 2011 Census records a greater percentage of cycle to work trips in Gloucestershire when compared to the national average in England as illustrated in Figure 1. The share of cycle trips is particularly high in the Central Severn Vale and Tewkesbury CPS areas where more cycle infrastructure is available. Figure A - Cycle to Work Levels across Gloucestershire (2011 Census) National average 1 | P a g e CSV CWIP – Network Background Document 2.0 Central Severn Vale 2.1 The CSV area includes the communities of Cheltenham, Gloucester, Churchdown and Bishops Cleeve (Figure 2). Figure 2 – Central Severn Vale Connecting Places Strategy area 2.2 As Gloucestershire grows over the next 15 years much of this will focus on the CSV area and it is hoped the CSV CWIP will provide a systematic framework through which to engage with local communities, shape discussions with developers, identify strategic walk and cycle networks, and direct delivery. 2.3 Using the Propensity to Cycle Tool, Figure 3 illustrates 2011 Census cycle to work data for the county. Figure 4 illustrates the potential for cycling should GCC adopt a Dutch approach to managing cycling. 2.4 The red oval illustrates the approximate boundary for our Central Severn Vale LCWIP corridor which includes the communities of Cheltenham, Gloucester, Churchdown and Bishops Cleeve. The total population covered by the LCWIP is 270,000. 2.5 Using 2011 Census data the largest existing cycle link flows in Cheltenham and Gloucester are typically between 100 and 250 weekday flows with greater links flows recorded around major employment sites. Figure 5 highlights the potential increase in cycle flows increasing to typically between 500 and 999 within the area and typically over 1000 on strategic routes between the main urban areas. This output indicates the potential for between 1,000 and 1,999 daily cycle trips between these centres. 2 | P a g e CSV CWIP – Network Background Document Figure 3 – Census 2011 Cycling for Gloucestershire Figure 4 - Go Dutch cycling scenario for Gloucestershire & prioritised area for LCWIP Figure 5 – Potential increase in cycling flows in Central Severn Vale CWIP 3 | P a g e CSV CWIP – Network Background Document 2.6 The CSV area has been prioritised due to the following factors: The county’s two main urban settlements are Cheltenham and Gloucester, forming the main business, commercial, educational, service and cultural centres; Location of the majority of existing cycling and walking assets; Centre of future growth, 30,000 new dwellings and significant new employment by 2031; Greater level of existing cycle use (2011 census); Higher propensity to encourage higher levels of cycling1; Will be benefitting from £3.8m of potential investment by Highways England to improve cycle connectivity on the Strategic Road Network between Cheltenham and Gloucester. 2.7 We intend to prioritise the assessment of sections of the countywide cycleway in terms of the route itself and key access points onto the route. Figure 6 illustrates the full route. The sections considered as part of the CSV CWIP are those sections within the urban areas of Cheltenham and Gloucester. It should be recognised that the countywide cycleway will be a combination of quiet ways and dedicated cycle facilities and not like London’s cycle super highways but something on a human scale which is accessible to cyclists of all abilities. 2.8 The logic for focussing on the urban centres is illustrated in Figure 7. The countywide cycle route can be separated into five sections as it traverses through the CSV area: 1. Bishops Cleeve to Cheltenham 2. Cheltenham urban area 3. Cheltenham to Gloucester 4. Gloucester urban area 5. Gloucester to Sharpness Canal 2.9 The Bishops Cleeve to Cheltenham cycle scheme has been a long-term aspiration for the County Council and includes a new shared use footway on the A435. Design work and landowner negotiations area underway and this will be progressed separately to the CSV CWIP. 2.10 The Cheltenham to Gloucester cycle scheme is a Highways England scheme of £3.8m cycle improvements on the B4063 Cheltenham Road East between Gloucester and Cheltenham. Highways England is leading on the design and consultation for this scheme throughout 2018/19. Construction is likely to take place in 2019/20 and has to be complete by March 2020. 1 4 | P a g e CSV CWIP – Network Background Document Figure 6 – Countywide Cycleway 5 | P a g e CSV CWIP – Network Background Document 2.11 Proposed upgrade to the canal towpath between Gloucestershire College and The Pilot Inn, Hardwicke. The total cost of £1.8 million, which includes up to £600k of S106 contributions, £600k ESIF bid and £200k GET bid. Work has commenced on this project and will continue throughout 2019, with works being undertaken by the Canal & River Trust. Figure 7 CSV CWIP focus 2.12 We intend to prioritise walking movements to the main Public Transport Hubs – Gloucester Bus and Rail Stations, and Cheltenham Spa Station. These hubs were looked at because of the number of walking trips they generate and their potential to attract more walking trips as part of a longer journey and to try and link existing investment to local communities and key trip attractors. The transport schemes of greatest relevance to this study include: Pedestrian, cycling and public realm improvements at the central Gloucester Transport Hub and railway station. The 45 hectare Cyber Business Park next to GCHQ in Cheltenham including improved walking and cycling access. 2.13 Data collected for the Office of Rail Regulation (orr.gov.uk) shows that an average of 6,400 passengers were estimated to use Cheltenham

  • (PPG) MEETING – 1430 on 3 SEP 19 Present
    4 Sep 19 THE ALNEY PRACTICE – PRACTICE PARTICIPATION GROUP (PPG) MEETING – 1430 ON 3 SEP 19 Present: Apologies Philip Tagg (PT) Practice Manager Katherine Holland (KH) Rachael Banfield (RB) Health Care Assistant CCG Jeremy Base (JB) Pamela Dewick (KD) Jennifer Taylor (JT) Geoffrey Gidley (GG) Megan Birchley (MB) Mark Weaver (MW) Ken Newman (KN) Nadia Schneider (NS) Carol Kurylat (CK) Taras Kurylat (TK) Denise Leach (DL) Nicky Milligan (NM) 1. PT welcomed attendees to the meeting and thanked them for expressing an interest in establishing a PPG. He explained the background to the former PPGs for the pre-merger practices: • Cheltenham Road Surgery’s PPG was made up of members of the ‘Friends of Cheltenham Road Surgery’, which was a registered charity with the principal aim of raising funds for the surgery, to be spent to the benefit of its patients. The Friends ceased to operate several years ago when several of the members became too old to continue and there were no volunteers willing to take on committee roles. Subsequent attempts to create a replacement PPG were unsuccessful. • College Yard and Highnam had a PPG, which ceased to be active around the time of the merger. 2. PPGs aim to be representative of the practice population and have a principal aim of meeting on regular basis to discuss the services on offer, and how improvements can be made for the benefit of patients and the practice. This initial meeting aimed to set the scene and agree a way ahead. PT also indicated that as a result of the practice merger we will be liable for a CQC inspection before the end of Mar 20, with the potential that they will wish to speak with the PPG at that time.

  • The Iron Age Tom Moore
    The Iron Age Tom Moore INTRODUCfiON In the twenty years since Alan Saville's (1984) review of the Iron Age in Gloucestershire much has happened in Iron-Age archaeology, both in the region and beyond.1 Saville's paper marked an important point in Iron-Age studies in Gloucestershire and was matched by an increasing level of research both regionally and nationally. The mid 1980s saw a number of discussions of the Iron Age in the county, including those by Cunliffe (1984b) and Darvill (1987), whilst reviews were conducted for Avon (Burrow 1987) and Somerset (Cunliffe 1982). At the same time significant advances and developments in British Iron-Age studies as a whole had a direct impact on how the period was viewed in the region. Richard Hingley's (1984) examination of the Iron-Age landscapes of Oxfordshire suggested a division between more integrated unenclosed communities in the Upper Thames Valley and isolated enclosure communities on the Cotswold uplands, arguing for very different social systems in the two areas. In contrast, Barry Cunliffe' s model ( 1984a; 1991 ), based on his work at Danebury, Hampshire, suggested a hierarchical Iron-Age society centred on hillforts directly influencing how hillforts and social organisation in the Cotswolds have been understood (Darvill1987; Saville 1984). Together these studies have set the agenda for how the 1st millennium BC in the region is regarded and their influence can be felt in more recent syntheses (e.g. Clarke 1993). Since 1984, however, our perception of Iron-Age societies has been radically altered. In particular, the role of hillforts as central places at the top of a hierarchical settlement pattern has been substantially challenged (Hill 1996).

  • Communications Roads Cheltenham Lies on Routes Connecting the Upper Severn Vale with the Cotswolds to the East and Midlands to the North
    DRAFT – VCH Gloucestershire 15 [Cheltenham] Communications Roads Cheltenham lies on routes connecting the upper Severn Vale with the Cotswolds to the east and Midlands to the north. Several major ancient routes passed nearby, including the Fosse Way, White Way and Salt Way, and the town was linked into this important network of roads by more local, minor routes. Cheltenham may have been joined to the Salt Way running from Droitwich to Lechlade1 by Saleweistrete,2 or by the old coach road to London, the Cheltenham end of which was known as Greenway Lane;3 the White Way running north from Cirencester passed through Sandford.4 The medieval settlement of Cheltenham was largely ranged along a single high street running south-east and north-west, with its church and manorial complex adjacent to the south, and burgage plots (some still traceable in modern boundaries) running back from both frontages.5 Documents produced in the course of administering the liberty of Cheltenham refer to the via regis, the king’s highway, which is likely to be a reference to this public road running through the liberty. 6 Other forms include ‘the royal way at Herstret’ and ‘the royal way in the way of Cheltenham’ (in via de Cheltenham). Infringements recorded upon the via regis included digging and ploughing, obstruction with timbers and dungheaps, the growth of trees and building of houses.7 The most important local roads were those running from Cheltenham to Gloucester, and Cheltenham to Winchcombe, where the liberty administrators were frequently engaged in defending their lords’ rights. Leland described the roads around Cheltenham, Gloucester and Tewkesbury as ‘subject to al sodeyne risings of Syverne, so that aftar reignes it is very foule to 1 W.S.
