The licence holder cannot carry goods for other people for hire or reward; • A Standard National (SN) licence allows the licence holder to carry both his own goods and goods for other people for hire or reward, on public roads in Great Britain. He can also carry his own goods on journeys abroad; • A Standard International (SI) licence allows the licence holder to carry both his own goods and goods for other people for hire or reward. These activities can be undertaken both in Great Britain and on international journeys.

  • Policing Southampton Partnership Briefing
    Policing Southampton Partnership briefing September 2019 Southampton is a vibrant, busy city that we are all proud to protect and serve. This newsletter is for our trusted partners with the aim to bring you closer to the teams and the people that identify risk, tackle offenders and protect those who most need our help. We will list the challenges we are facing, the problems we are solving, and opportunities to work together. Operation Sceptre We took part in Operation Sceptre which was a national week of action that ran from September 16 to 22. In Southampton we demonstrated our commitment through several engagement events, proactive patrols, visits to parents of young people thought be carrying knives, and we conducted knife sweeps. In Shirley, a PCSO hosted a live, two hours engagement session on Twitter and the team carried out a test purchase operation in four retail outlets. All shops passed which is great news. Through our focus on high harm, we stopped and searched a man who was in possession of an axe and he was charged. We also ar- rested a man after he was reported to be making threats towards his ex partner with a knife. Most notably, a man was reported to have committed three knife point robberies in the centre of Southampton, he was quickly arrested, charged and remanded. For us to be able try and influence young people and prevent the next generation from carrying knives, we produced a campaign via the Police Apprentice Scheme in partnership with schools and the Saints Foundation and asked children come up with an idea that they thought would make their peers aged 9 to 14 think twice about choosing to carry a knife.

  • 2014 Air Quality Progress Report and Detailed Assessment for Southampton City Council
    2014 Air Quality Progress Report and Detailed Assessment for Southampton City Council In fulfillment of Part IV of the Environment Act 1995 Local Air Quality Management May 2015 Southampton City Council LAQM Progress Report 2013 1 Southampton City Council Local Authority Southampton City Council Officer Department Regulatory Services Address Civic Centre, Southampton Telephone 023 80917531 e-mail [email protected] Report Reference PR5 number Date May 2015 LAQM Progress Report 2013 2 Southampton City Council Executive Summary Southampton City Council has examined the results from 2013 monitoring in the Southampton Unitary Authority Area. Concentrations within most of the AQMAs still exceed the 40 µg/m3 annual mean standard for nitrogen dioxide at some relevant receptors and the AQMAs should remain. This Progress Report incorporates detailed assessments for four areas, Portswood Road; the southern section of Romsey Road, 2 residential receptors within the docks and Queens Terrace/Orchard Place. The detailed assessments have used NOx tube monitoring and appended at the end of the report as appendix B, C, D and E. This report recommends that the existing AQMA on Romsey Road is extended to include the NOx tube locations that are exceeding the 40 µg/m3 annual mean standard for nitrogen dioxide at the southern section, the junction with Shirley Road. The existing Bevois Valley AQMA should be extended to include the NOx tube locations that are exceeding the 40 µg/m3 annual mean standard for nitrogen dioxide on Portswood Road to the north. The monitoring in the docks at the residential receptors shows that this location is very unlikely to exceed the 40 µg/m3 annual mean standard for nitrogen dioxide, and no further action is required.

    CONNECTING SOUTHAMPTON Southampton and Hampshire Transforming Cities Fund Transforming Cities Fund: October update Introduction Martina Olley – Southampton and Hampshire Transforming Cities Fund Programme Manager I am delighted to have been appointed as the TCF Programme Manager running this transformational transport programme of infrastructure changes over the next 2.5 years. This programme will shape the future of Southampton and Hampshire. It will improve how people will be able to move in and around the city with an investment of nearly £70m, with £57m funded by Department for Transport. The programme will make it easier to walk, cycle and travel by bus. I have a team of four highly motivated individuals in place supporting me through the programme and with the implementation of the TCF schemes. I am a keen commuter cyclist, and walk and run on a regular basis, so I’m sure you will share my enthusiasm and excitement in building a more sustainable and active travel future for Southampton and Hampshire, with projects fit for the 21st century, leaving a lasting legacy for our future generations. I look forward to lots of constructive dialogue with you all. Scheme updates West Quay Road In progress Mountbatten Way On 14 September, we began work on Mountbatten Way to lengthen the right hand turn into West Quay Road and create an extra lane. This was completed on 16 October however SSE will be connecting the light columns on Tuesday 3 November. The traffic management on Mountbatten Way will be removed that evening. There are major changes planned at the Central Station South and City Centre, creating new transport hubs and, as such, this is expected to become an important bus corridor within the next two years.

  • Palaeolithic and Pleistocene Sites of the Mendip, Bath and Bristol Areas
    Proc. Univ. Bristol Spelacol. Soc, 19SlJ, 18(3), 367-389 PALAEOLITHIC AND PLEISTOCENE SITES OF THE MENDIP, BATH AND BRISTOL AREAS RECENT BIBLIOGRAPHY by R. W. MANSFIELD and D. T. DONOVAN Lists of references lo works on the Palaeolithic and Pleistocene of the area were published in these Proceedings in 1954 (vol. 7, no. 1) and 1964 (vol. 10, no. 2). In 1977 (vol. 14, no. 3) these were reprinted, being then out of print, by Hawkins and Tratman who added a list ai' about sixty papers which had come out between 1964 and 1977. The present contribution is an attempt to bring the earlier lists up to date. The 1954 list was intended to include all work before that date, but was very incomplete, as evidenced by the number of older works cited in the later lists, including the present one. In particular, newspaper reports had not been previously included, but are useful for sites such as the Milton Hill (near Wells) bone Fissure, as are a number of references in serials such as the annual reports of the British Association and of the Wells Natural History and Archaeological Society, which are also now noted for the first time. The largest number of new references has been generated by Gough's Cave, Cheddar, which has produced important new material as well as new studies of finds from the older excavations. The original lists covered an area from what is now the northern limit of the County of Avon lo the southern slopes of the Mendips. Hawkins and Tratman extended that area to include the Quaternary Burtle Beds which lie in the Somerset Levels to the south of the Mendips, and these are also included in the present list.

  • Mells River Sink — a Spelaeological Curiosity in East Mendip, Somerset
    93 Proc. Univ. Bristol Spelaeol. Soc, 1982, 16 (2), 93-104. MELLS RIVER SINK — A SPELAEOLOGICAL CURIOSITY IN EAST MENDIP, SOMERSET by W. I. STANTON ABSTRACT The site is a cleft in the side of the Mells River that acts as a resurgence in winter and a swallet in summer. An excavation, 1974-78, began 21m above, and ended 2m below, river level. It showed (hat a high-leve! resurgence was active in the Middle Devensian, and was buried under later deposits. Scattered finds of archaeological significance included Woolly Rhinoceros bones and a First Century bronze brooch. Water tracing experiments proved that the Sink is the upper end of an active underground oxbow to the Mells River, 2.5 km long. The cleft was developed along a neptunian dyke of Lower Lias age. Bubbling springs and 'cave, coral" are briefly discussed. INTRODUCTION The Mells River rises at Gurney Slade and flows east below the north flank of the Mendips to join the River Frome at Frome. It receives water from the Carboniferous Limestone resurgences of Winter Well, Gurney Slade, Ashwick Grove, St. Dunstan's Well, Whitehole, Cobby Wood, Hapsford and other smaller springs (Barrington and Stanton, 1977). Some of these resurgences fail in dry weather, and one of them, Mells River Sink, is so close to the river bed that, at times, the spring flow actually reverses and part of the river disappears down the hole. In the drought summer of 1976 about one quarter of the Mells River was lost into Mells River Sink. At the village of Mells the Mells River leaves undulating low ground to enter a wooded gorge (Wadbury Valley) incised by super imposed drainage into the north flank of East Mendip (Barrington and Stanton, 1977, p 220).

  • Somerset Geology-A Good Rock Guide
    SOMERSET GEOLOGY-A GOOD ROCK GUIDE Hugh Prudden The great unconformity figured by De la Beche WELCOME TO SOMERSET Welcome to green fields, wild flower meadows, farm cider, Cheddar cheese, picturesque villages, wild moorland, peat moors, a spectacular coastline, quiet country lanes…… To which we can add a wealth of geological features. The gorge and caves at Cheddar are well-known. Further east near Frome there are Silurian volcanics, Carboniferous Limestone outcrops, Variscan thrust tectonics, Permo-Triassic conglomerates, sediment-filled fissures, a classic unconformity, Jurassic clays and limestones, Cretaceous Greensand and Chalk topped with Tertiary remnants including sarsen stones-a veritable geological park! Elsewhere in Mendip are reminders of coal and lead mining both in the field and museums. Today the Mendips are a major source of aggregates. The Mesozoic formations curve in an arc through southwest and southeast Somerset creating vales and escarpments that define the landscape and clearly have influenced the patterns of soils, land use and settlement as at Porlock. The church building stones mark the outcrops. Wilder country can be found in the Quantocks, Brendon Hills and Exmoor which are underlain by rocks of Devonian age and within which lie sunken blocks (half-grabens) containing Permo-Triassic sediments. The coastline contains exposures of Devonian sediments and tectonics west of Minehead adjoining the classic exposures of Mesozoic sediments and structural features which extend eastward to the Parrett estuary. The predominance of wave energy from the west and the large tidal range of the Bristol Channel has resulted in rapid cliff erosion and longshore drift to the east where there is a full suite of accretionary landforms: sandy beaches, storm ridges, salt marsh, and sand dunes popular with summer visitors.
