  • Examination of the West of England Joint Spatial Plan
    Examination of The West of England Joint Spatial Plan Statement of Tickenham Road Action Group (“TRAG’) on Matter 6.3: Is there robust evidence to demonstrate that, having regard to mitigation measures, the de- velopment envisaged in the JSP would not give rise to severe transport-related problems? 1. Introduction 1.1 Tickenham is a village on the B3130 road linking Nailsea to the South and Clevedon to the West. The publication of the Joint Spatial Plan, together with the related Joint Local Transport Plan 4, has caused significant levels of concern in the Village. 1.2 Tickenham Road Action Group was formed after a public meeting at which residents ex- pressed concerns about the plans proposed in JSP WED007 and WED008 in early January 2019. The Group has over 160 sign-ups, a steering group and terms of reference adopted by the Village. It is recognised by the Village and the Parish Council and has received messages of support from Councillor Nigel Ashton, then Leader of North Somerset Council, Dr Liam Fox MP and other stake- holders including the local primary school. 1.3 The concerns centred, almost entirely, on the proposal in JSP 3 and related JLTP 4 to build a road or roads linking the proposed developments at Nailsea and Backwell with the B3130 in Tick- enham and then to J20 of the M5 to the West and Bristol to the East, This changed an earlier pro- posal in JLTP 3 to build a direct link from Nailsea to J20. 1.4 The overriding summary is that, whilst the objectives and outcomes of the JSP benefit many across the WECA/JSP geographical area, if JSP 3 and the related JLTP 4 are unchanged from their present draft their impact will deliver the opposite to Tickenham and other users of the B3130 generally, namely: • poor accessibility • a negative impact on quality of life/health/environment • create a worse place and, most notably • make for a very unsafe B3130 road through this narrow village settlement.

  • Glastonbury Companion
    John Cowper Powys’s A Glastonbury Romance: A Reader’s Companion Updated and Expanded Edition W. J. Keith December 2010 . “Reader’s Companions” by Prof. W.J. Keith to other Powys works are available at: http://www.powys-lannion.net/Powys/Keith/Companions.htm Preface The aim of this list is to provide background information that will enrich a reading of Powys’s novel/ romance. It glosses biblical, literary and other allusions, identifies quotations, explains geographical and historical references, and offers any commentary that may throw light on the more complex aspects of the text. Biblical citations are from the Authorized (King James) Version. (When any quotation is involved, the passage is listed under the first word even if it is “a” or “the”.) References are to the first edition of A Glastonbury Romance, but I follow G. Wilson Knight’s admirable example in including the equivalent page-numbers of the 1955 Macdonald edition (which are also those of the 1975 Picador edition), here in square brackets. Cuts were made in the latter edition, mainly in the “Wookey Hole” chapter as a result of the libel action of 1934. References to JCP’s works published in his lifetime are not listed in “Works Cited” but are also to first editions (see the Powys Society’s Checklist) or to reprints reproducing the original pagination, with the following exceptions: Wolf Solent (London: Macdonald, 1961), Weymouth Sands (London: Macdonald, 1963), Maiden Castle (ed. Ian Hughes. Cardiff: University of Wales Press, 1990), Psychoanalysis and Morality (London: Village Press, 1975), The Owl, the Duck and – Miss Rowe! Miss Rowe! (London: Village Press, 1975), and A Philosophy of Solitude, in which the first English edition is used.

    4N30 Quarry House Leeds LS2 7UE 4th February 2014 Ms Kathy Headdon NHS North Somerset CCG Castlewood Tickenham Road Clevedon North Somerset BS21 9AX Dear Ms Headdon, CLINICAL COMMISSIONING GROUP AUTHORISATION: FOURTH CONDITIONS REVIEW OUTCOME I am writing to notify you of NHS England’s decision on 17 January 2014 in relation to the third review of the conditions applied to NHS North Somerset CCG at authorisation. NHS England will regularly review the progress of CCGs in relation to the discharge of conditions applied at authorisation. This process also involves a review of support levels applied to conditions. Decision Following the NHS England CCG authorisation and assurance committee meeting on 17 January 2014, NHS England has agreed that none of the conditions should be removed leaving 2 conditions remaining, of which none have amended support levels. Accordingly, NHS North Somerset CCG remains authorised with conditions. The outcome of the conditions review is set out in the attached conditions review report at Annex A. As you are aware, the conditions imposed are designed to address the respects in which NHS England was not satisfied as to the matters set out in section 14C(2) of the NHS Act 2006 (as amended). In coming to its decision, NHS England took into account all relevant information, including the factors set out in Schedule 1(2) of the National Health Service (Clinical Commissioning Group) Regulations 2012. Your CCG’s remaining outstanding conditions will continue to be reviewed on a quarterly basis. Please note the next review of conditions will be in March 2014. NHS England will not review this decision and neither the National Health Service Act 2006 (as amended) or the Health and Social Care Act 2012 provides for any appeal against NHS England’s decision.

Leigh Woods, North Somerset Fig 1 Reproduced as a Section from the Stokeleigh OS Map 2005 1:2500 Courtesy of the National Trust (Wessex Region), Leigh Woods Office, Bristol Nigel B.Bain MA, BD May 2009 There is an extensive number of diverse hillforts scattered across the West of England. The phased National Mapping Programme is currently pinpointing even more of these. Stokeleigh is the classic example of one type of hillfort construction popular during the first millennium BC, a ‘promontory’ fort. It is particularly significant in that its sturdy defences are still fairly well-preserved. What is even more remarkable about this impressive site is not only that it remains relatively unscathed 1 of 18 11/09/2020, 12:46 Stoke Leigh Iron Age Camp Leigh Woods, North Somerset file:///D:/Users/Ruth/Documents/PC Website/new test site/Articles by ... but that so little is known or has been written about it. As a result, the National Trust in collaboration with English Heritage and Natural England has recently taken the welcome decision to restore its original profile*. Particular credit must go to Mr Bill Morris, Head Warden at the NT Office in Leigh Woods and his team, for the tremendous work done in clearing the camp of its overgrowth, not to mention his own support for this project. It has been a pleasure to watch the site ‘unfold’. It has made possible the kind of accompanying photographic evidence here as never before.
