Ration Card Teddies in Anna’s window Southbourne Close Flags VE Day Celebrations Idmiston Parish Newsletter Page 3 Clerk’s Report Summer/Autumn 2020 You may well have thought that the Parish Council had been quiet since the COVID 19 lockdown began last March, as the Parish Councillors didn’t have much to do, but this has not been the case at all. Thanks to the wonderful volunteers who stepped forward to offer their help and assistance, the Parish Council was able to organise a basic Scheme of Support for vulnerable and isolated residents, who may otherwise not have been able to undertake essential shopping, collect medicines or walk their dogs. We are very grateful to the volunteers for this, and it’s a wonderful demonstration of the wealth of community support and neighbourly care that the parish obviously has in its midst. We were not able to hold properly convened face to face meetings, but in June, the Parish Council adopted a policy to hold online public meetings, with monthly meetings being held since then. Parish Council information can be found on the community website, so do look there for information about the Parish Council and other community organisations in the parish. Routine planning applications have been discussed during that time, and the Parish Council has also been able to progress work on the re-routing of the sewage pipe in the Bourne Cemetery. Hopefully, this will be complete by the time you read this. It has finally been confirmed that the Parish Council is responsible for the maintenance of the churchyard wall of All Saints Idmiston, and work has already begun to obtain estimates and identify possible funding. The Parish Council is also aware that the trees need attention, and quotes have already been obtained for the necessary work to be done.

  • 2019-07-08 APPROVED Minutes IPC Meeting
    Minutes of the Idmiston Parish Council meeting held on Monday 8th July 2019 at 7.30 pm in Idmiston Parish Memorial Hall Present Cllr Andy Oliver, Cllr Anne Appleyard, Cllr Valerie Cresswell, Cllr Ken Bradley, Cllr Kirsty Exton, Cllr Steven Cocking, Cllr Mark Jones, Cllr Mike Crook, Cllr Roy Gould Cllr Wayne Maher, Cllr James Humphries In attendance: Catherine Purves, Parish Clerk Also present: Two members of the public, Wiltshire Councillor Mike Hewitt, Ian Gillespie of the English Rural Housing Association Public Questions Councillor absences from Parish Council meetings – concerns were raised by a resident about absentee councillors, and comments were noted. Affordable Housing - Ian Gillespie gave a general and comprehensive presentation on his organisation’s ability to deliver affordable housing in rural community areas. Information booklets were left with the Clerk containing further details. Wilshire Councillor Mike Hewitt gave his report – Wiltshire Council ward boundary review - Councillor Hewitt advised the meeting of the latest Wiltshire Council ward boundary divisions proposed by the Local Government Boundary Commission and that a further consultation was underway, with the deadline for responses to be sent to the Boundary Commission by 29th July. It is proposed to include Gomeldon village in the new Old Sarum & Lower Bourne Valley ward and proposed to include the rest of Idmiston civil parish in the new Winterslow & Upper Bourne Valley ward. As the civil parish boundaries remain unaltered thus the parish would be split between two wards and two Area Boards as well. Following a short discussion which demonstrated the councillors’ strong objection to these proposals, it was agreed that residents should be alerted as soon as possible, and a petition should be circulated for signature for submission to both Wiltshire Council and the Boundary Commission.

The fantastic response rate and obvious willingness of the community to engage with the process demonstrates how much people love and value the character and amenities of their villages and how much already exists that is worth fighting to preserve and enhance. I think the preference for small developments and a good mix of properties and the emphasis on minimising noise and light pollution from any future developments at Porton Down together form a very strong basis for future community inputs into the planning process because they demonstrate that your collective approach is founded on realism. This statement does not seek to preserve the villages in aspic but identifies sensible and achievable ways to make sure that they remain attractive and peaceful places to live. By working together, the three villages have both strengthened the ideas that you have in common and underlined the importance of preserving the individuality of each community by retaining the green spaces that divide them.

  • An Early Beaker Funerary Monument at Porton Down, Wiltshire by Phil Andrews and Steve Thompson with Contributions by Alistair J
    38Wiltshire ArchaeologicalTHE & Natural WILTSHIRE History Magazine, ARCHAEOLOGICAL vol. 109 (2016), pp. 38–82 AND NATURAL HISTORY MAGAZINE An Early Beaker funerary monument at Porton Down, Wiltshire by Phil Andrews and Steve Thompson with contributions by Alistair J. Barclay, Kirsten Egging Dinwiddy, Michael J. Grant, Phil Harding, L. Higbee, Matt Leivers, Jacqueline I. McKinley, Lorraine Mepham and Sarah F. Wyles. Illustrations by S.E. James Excavation of an Early Beaker−Early Bronze Age funerary monument at Porton Down revealed an unusually complex burial sequence of 12 individuals, spanning four centuries, including eight neonates or infants and only one probable male, surrounded by a segmented ring-ditch. In the centre was a large grave which contained the disturbed remains of an adult female, accompanied by a Beaker, which had probably been placed within a timber chamber and later ‘revisited’ on one or more occasions. This primary burial and an antler pick from the base of the ring-ditch provided identical Early Beaker radiocarbon dates. Two burials were accompanied by a Food Vessel and a miniature Collared Urn respectively, others were unaccompanied, and there was a single and a double cremation burial, both within inverted Collared Urns. A C-shaped enclosure nearby may have been contemporary with the funerary monument, but its date and function are uncertain. Other features included an Early Neolithic pit which contained a significant assemblage of worked flint, and several Middle Bronze Age ditches and a Late Bronze Age ‘Wessex Linear’ ditch that reflect later prehistoric land divisions probably related to stock control. Introduction a geophysical survey (Archaeological Surveys Ltd 2008) and an archaeological evaluation (Wessex Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Dstl Archaeology 2009), indicated significant and (Defence Science and Technology Laboratory) to extensive prehistoric remains within the site.
