Issues of continuity and gradual evolution of practices as opposed to rupture and sudden replacement form a major theme of funerary archaeological research as well as the broader socio-political context of the 4th to 7th centuries CE in England (e.g. Oosthuizen 2019). For this reason it is worth going the extra mile when interrogating and contextualising the relevant evidence in order to reach conclusions based upon as complete a picture as possible. The main focus of the following paragraphs is the interpretation of some of the items found in Guildown grave 78 put forward by Bird (and others before him) and how, in his words, these ‘must raise speculation about some form of continuity from late Roman arrange- ments in this general area’ (Bird 2018, 6-7).

  • Written Evidence from Surrey County Council (EDE 15)
    Written evidence from Surrey County Council (EDE 15) Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee The Evolution of Devolution: English Devolution 1. Surrey County Council (SCC) welcomes the opportunity to submit evidence for this inquiry on the evolution of English devolution. We are encouraged that the Government recognises the importance of devolution for strengthening local economies and facilitating a better quality of life for residents. We see this as an opportunity to inform debate ahead of the Government’s publication of the Devolution and Recovery White Paper. We would also be willing to provide oral evidence to the Committee. Key messages 2. Surrey has a huge amount of potential and can play a leading role in the economic recovery from Covid-19. To do this, English local government needs strengthening with more certainty around the freedoms, flexibilities and funding that can be used to implement the right policies for local circumstances. This would increase the chances of a stronger and sustained economic recovery, safeguarding services for local residents and successfully levelling up the country. 3. Local authorities provide crucial local leadership to address the challenges and opportunities they face, so they can improve the lives of residents and the places they live in. They have the depth of insight into and experience of their places and communities. This is crucial as we continue to respond to the pandemic with our partners, and residents have depended on our services to support them through the Covid-19 crisis. 4. Devolution also has the potential to rejuvenate local democracy in England. Disillusionment with the democratic system is translating into poor turnout at local elections.

  • East Horsley Neighbourhood Plan
    EAST HORSLEY NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN 2017 - 2033 ADOPTED VERSION East Horsley Neighbourhood Plan FOREWORD BY CATHERINE CARR Chair of the Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group A considerable amount of work has gone into the preparation of this neighbourhood plan and I would like to thank everyone who gave their time and effort to make it possible, whether by being part of our policy teams or task groups or by helping with the surveys and Open Days that formed a key part of our consultation process. I would also like to thank all the people who took the time to complete our surveys or attended our various meetings and who supplied the views which underpin the policies proposed in this plan. In March 2016 our Village Survey asked the basic question: How do you regard East Horsley as a place to live? No less than 93% of respondents said that it is either a ‘wonderful’ or a ‘good’ place to live. Having spoken with so many people of different ages and backgrounds across East Horsley in connection with the plan I am not at all surprised. So many of us have a great affection for our village and want it to continue to evolve successfully and to remain a great place to live, now and in the future. Accordingly, this plan aims to deliver the following vision for the future of East Horsley in the year 2033, the concluding date for our neighbourhood plan: VISION FOR EAST HORSLEY IN 2033 In 2033 East Horsley thrives as a distinctive and vibrant village. It retains its village feel and characteristic features, including its high-quality and varied housing, its heritage assets and its leafy rural setting.
