  • Financial Strategy 2016/17 to 2018/19 PDF
    Cabinet, 17th February 2016: FINANCIAL STRATEGY 2016/17 – 2018/19 Committee and Date Cabinet 17th February 2016 12:00noon FINANCIAL STRATEGY 2016/17 – 2018/19 Responsible Officer James Walton e-mail: [email protected] Tel: 01743 255011 1. Summary This report presents for approval the 2016/17 budget and also identifies the proposals for 2017/18 and 2018/19 budgets which will be further developed throughout 2016/17. Cabinet has received 3 financial strategy reports over the last year setting out the budget position for the Council over the next 3 years. The report to Cabinet on 28 October 2015 set out the development of a Sustainable Business Model to allow the Council to consider what services will be affordable going forward. Savings proposals to balance 2016/17 were identified in the report on 9 December 2015 and following the Provisional Local Government Finance Settlement on 17 December 2015, the Financial Strategy report to Cabinet on 27 January refined the 2016/17 budget and provided details of what service budgets would look like in 2017/18 and 2018/19 within the current resource projections. As previously recommended to Council in the report to Cabinet on 9 December 2015, increases in Council Tax of 2% specifically to be used for Adult Social Care and a further 1.99% increase to be used as general resources are included in the projections. This report provides the final position for 2016/17 budget which has been updated for the Final Local Government Finance Settlement, announced on 8 February 2016. This has seen an improved position for Shropshire Council, with an additional £5.5m in Rural Services Delivery Grant and Transitionary grant provided for 2016/17, reducing to £3m in 2017/18.

  • The Implementation and Impact of the Reformation in Shropshire, 1545-1575
    The Implementation and Impact of the Reformation in Shropshire, 1545-1575 Elizabeth Murray A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts United Faculty of Theology The Melbourne College of Divinity October, 2007 Abstract Most English Reformation studies have been about the far north or the wealthier south-east. The poorer areas of the midlands and west have been largely passed over as less well-documented and thus less interesting. This thesis studying the north of the county of Shropshire demonstrates that the generally accepted model of the change from Roman Catholic to English Reformed worship does not adequately describe the experience of parishioners in that county. Acknowledgements I am grateful to Dr Craig D’Alton for his constant support and guidance as my supervisor. Thanks to Dr Dolly Mackinnon for introducing me to historical soundscapes with enthusiasm. Thanks also to the members of the Medieval Early Modern History Cohort for acting as a sounding board for ideas and for their assistance in transcribing the manuscripts in palaeography workshops. I wish to acknowledge the valuable assistance of various Shropshire and Staffordshire clergy, the staff of the Lichfield Heritage Centre and Lichfield Cathedral for permission to photograph churches and church plate. Thanks also to the Victoria & Albert Museum for access to their textiles collection. The staff at the Shropshire Archives, Shrewsbury were very helpful, as were the staff of the State Library of Victoria who retrieved all the volumes of the Transactions of the Shropshire Archaeological Society. I very much appreciate the ongoing support and love of my family.

The Parish Plan is an important document as it states the views of the residents of Withington Parish and its future direction. It also feeds directly into the Shrewsbury Area Place Plan, which is used by Shropshire Council Departments when reviewing requirements for such projects as road improvement, housing and commercial planning, water and sewerage. This updated plan was produced by analysing answers to the questionnaire distributed to each household in March 2013. Of the 91 questionnaires distributed, 59 were completed and returned. The Shropshire Rural Community Council (RCC) carried out an independent analysis of the results using computer software specifically designed for this purpose. The Parish Plan is also published on the Withington website www.withingtonshropshire.co.uk 3 Withington 2008 Parish Plan: Review of progress Progress was determined by asking Parishioners to indicate their level of satisfaction as to whether the 8 objectives contained in the 2008 Parish Plan had been achieved (see table below) OBJECTIVE ACHIEVEMENTS HOUSING AND Oppose any further housing or commer- • All housing/commercial development applications have COMMERCIAL cial development.

  • Families & Ferries at Potter's Loade
    Lives in the Landscape Families & Ferries at Potter’s Loade For hundreds of years in rural areas, ferries were invaluable for transporting people, goods, and even livestock between riverbanks. By the 1920’s there were 28 ferries shown on Ordnance Survey maps across the length of the River Severn—including the Potter’s Loade ferry. Records show that a ferry at Potter’s Loade was mentioned as early as 1690 when ‘….the passage over the river…with the boate there belonging at Potters Load’ was included in the lease to nearby Hall Close Farm. It is also mentioned in an advert in the Shrewsbury Chronicle on 16th August 1777 where Rhea Hall in Highley was to be auctioned and the lot included ‘right of free passage over the River Severn at Potter’s Load…..’ Right: Photograph of ‘Lease of possession of the scite of the manor at Alveley’ 4 April,1690 There are a number of mentions of the ferry (and cottage) at Potter’s Loade in the newspaper as over the years it was advertised as ‘TO LET’. These articles have been researched on the British Newspapers Archive website. On 18 September 1851 in Worcester Journal a house, garden, new boat and ferry over the Severn at Potter’s Loade is advertised with applications to J. Bacon. For 3 weeks, in 1864 (20 February- 5 March), a house, garden with ferry over the Severn are advertised with enquires to Mr Fellows. Finally, in 1901 (16th February) there is an advert in the Wellington Journal for a boatman to take charge of Potter’s Loade ferry with applications to H.E.
