The Gloucestershire Urban Economic Strategy 2007-2015
DRAFT Gloucestershire First 26 April 07 THE GLOUCESTERSHIRE URBAN ECONOMIC STRATEGY 2007-2015 INTRODUCTION 1. Urban Gloucestershire lies astride the M5 and is made up of Gloucester City, Cheltenham Borough and parts of the Borough of Tewkesbury and Stroud District. With a total population of 310,800 and forecast by 2026 to be at least 370,800 this is a significant urban conurbation particularly in regional terms, as evidenced by the identification of Gloucester and Cheltenham in the draft Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS) as two of the regionally Strategically Significant Cities and Towns (SSCTs)1. Within the Gloucestershire economy this urban area plays a vital role. Defining Urban Gloucestershire Urban Gloucestershire cannot be delineated precisely on a map without limiting some initiatives unnecessarily. In general it is those geographical areas of the Central Vale that have a concentration of people and businesses that by working together can complement one another and increase the economy of Gloucestershire. It therefore includes the whole of Gloucester City and Cheltenham Borough. It also will generally include, within Tewkesbury Borough, Tewkesbury Town and Ashchurch as well as the parishes of Brockworth, Hucclecote, Churchdown, Innsworth, Longford and embraces Gloucestershire Airport and Dowty/Smiths, although there are some aspects of these that are also 'rural' and will also be covered by the Gloucestershire Rural Economic Strategy. Similarly it will also generally include in Stroud District the settlements of Hardwicke and those others that comprise the defined Stroud Urban Area: Stonehouse, Stroud, Thrupp, North and South Woodchester and Nailsworth, although parts of these are also 'rural'. Economic and administrative boundaries are not identical. -
Review of the BAE Systems Aviation Options Report for Filton Airfield
South Gloucestershire Review of the BAE Systems Aviation Options Report for Filton Airfield December 2011 South Gloucestershire Council Filton Airfield Purpose 1. To report the conclusions of work undertaken in response to the Full Council Question No.3 dated 19th October 2011, in respect of Filton Airfield. Background 2. In April 2011 BAE Systems Ltd announced its decision to close Filton Airfield at the end of 2012. That decision has significant implications for the District and wider area including the programme for the Council’s emerging Core Strategy. 3. The Council has in the period since April 2011 undertaken widespread engagement to listen to the wide ranging views being expressed in response to the closure announcement and to better understand the issues which arise from BAE Systems Ltd decision to close the airfield. 4. The Council is committed to having its Core Strategy ‘examined’ by an independent Inspector at the earliest reasonable opportunity with view to adoption of the Core Strategy in the summer of 2012 if possible. The consequences of not having an adopted core strategy are far reaching. It is therefore very important that both the position in respect of Filton Airfield and more generally are resolved as quickly as possible. 5. In order to better understand the reasons advanced by BAE Systems Ltd for closing the Airfield, and to explain that decision as part of the engagement process, the Council invited the Company to prepare and publish an Aviation Options Report. This summarises the key information and aviation options considered and which led BAE Systems Ltd to conclude that the Airfield is not thought to be viable or needed. -

Glossary 14 Supporting Documents Gloucestershire’s Local Transport Plan 2011-26 Promoting a safe and sustainable transport system Foreword Welcome to the Local Transport Plan for Gloucestershire (LTP3), which sets out the transport strategy for the County from 2011 to 2026. Our vision for transport in the future is: “Providing a safe and sustainable transport network within Gloucestershire” where safe means a transport network that people feel safe and secure using and sustainable means a transport network that is both environmentally and financially sustainable. It is the most challenging Local Transport Plan we have developed as it comes into being during a time when we have to make efficiencies to help reduce the national debt and get the most out of limited resources. LTP3 has been produced in accordance with guidance that sets out the Government‟s priorities for transport as well as indications of the level of funding that might be available to invest in local transport. This funding is likely to reduce as the new Government addresses the national financial position and we have framed the LTP3 strategy to reflect this. Everybody relies on there being a safe and sustainable transport system to allow them to access, or provide, the services that society needs to properly function. -
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. -

Cheltenham’s Blue Plaques scheme has honoured all sorts of eminent people since it came into the care of the Civic Society in 1980. The 59th Plaque was unveiled in 2015, to honour Dr Grace Billings.
