  • Street Trading Policy Consultation Proposals
    Committee and Date Item Strategic Licensing Committee 25 January 2017 8 Public STREET TRADING POLICY CONSULTATION PROPOSALS Responsible Officer Mandy Beever – Transactional and Licensing Team Manager e-mail: [email protected] Tel: 01743 251702 1. Summary 1.1 The control of Street Trading is currently based on the regimes that existed within the previous District and Borough councils (South Shropshire District Council, North Shropshire District Council, Shrewsbury and Atcham Borough Council, Oswestry Borough Council and Bridgnorth District Council) prior to the formation of Shropshire Council (‘the Council’). 1.2 Street Trading is a function of the Council. However, under provisions in the Local Government Act 1972, the Council can delegate the responsibility for the function to Town and Parish Councils. 1.3 The administration of Street Trading includes the determination of Prohibited, Licensed and Consent Streets, the setting of fees, the administration of licenses and consents, and enforcement in the event of non-compliance. 1.4 Work has been undertaken to rationalise and align Street Trading controls across the whole administrative area of the Council. This has led to a draft Street Trading Policy (‘the Policy’) that members are now being asked to consider and approve for public consultation. 1.5 The aim of the Policy is to ensure that the Council can properly regulate those who trade in the street and not from within a business premises. 2. Recommendation 2.1 That the Committee approves, with any necessary amendments, the proposed Street Trading Policy 2017 – 2022 as set out in Appendix A and instructs the Transactional and Licensing Team Manager to commence an 8 week public consultation from 30 January 2017 to the 26 March 2017.

  • HEREFORDSHIRE Is Repeatedly Referred to in Domesday As Lying In
    ABO BLOOD GROUPS, HUMAN HISTORY AND LANGUAGE IN HEREFORDSHIRE WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE LOW B FREQUENCY IN EUROPE I. MORGAN WATKIN County Health Department, Aberystwyth Received6.x.64 1.INTRODUCTION HEREFORDSHIREis repeatedly referred to in Domesday as lying in Wales and the county is regularly described as such in the Pipe Rolls until 1249-50. Of the two dozen or so charters granted to the county town, a number are addressed to the citizens of Hereford in Wales. That fluency in Welsh was until 1855oneof the qualifications for the post of clerk to the Hereford city magistrates indicated the county's bilingual nature. The object of the present investigation is to ascertain whether there is any significant genetic difference between the part of Herefordshire conquered by the Anglo-Saxons and the area called "Welsh Hereford- shire ".Assome moorland parishes have lost 50 per cent. of their inhabitants during the last 50 years, the need to carry out the survey is the more pressing. 2.THE HUMAN HISTORY OF HEREFORDSHIRE Pre-Norman Conquest Offa'sgeneral line of demarcation between England and Wales in the eighth century extending in Herefordshire from near Lyonshall to Bridge Sollars, about five miles upstream from Hereford, is inter- mittent in the well-wooded lowlands, being only found in the Saxon clearings. From this Fox (i) infers that the intervening forest with its dense thickets of thorn and bramble filling the space under the tree canopy was an impassable barrier. Downstream to Redbrook (Glos.) the river was probably the boundary but the ferry crossing from Beachley to Aust and the tidal navigational rights up the Wye were retained by the Welsh—facts which suggest that the Dyke was in the nature of an agreed frontier.

  • Revised Air Quality Action Plan
    Revised Air Quality Action Plan Executive Summary Shrewsbury and Atcham Borough Council’s Environmental Health Service has produced this Action Plan following the Review and Assessment of Air Quality in its district as part of its duty under the Environment Act 1995. The report follows on from the Stage III Assessment completed in 2000, Stage IV in August 2003, Detailed Assessment in July 2004 and further Detailed Assessment in March 2006. Work has continued following the declaration of 3 Air Quality Management Areas (AQMAs) at Bayston Hill (AQMA 01), Heathgates Island (AQMA 2) and Frankwell/Smithfield Road (AQMA 03). This includes further modelling and monitoring, which has indicated that Nitrogen Dioxide (NO 2) levels in these areas are likely to rise unless action is taken. An Action Plan has therefore been drawn up investigating the various options available to tackle pollution levels, in particular from road traffic. The effects of these options are examined in detail, with the most effective package of measures (the Action Plan) chosen for implementation. An in-depth study of this package takes place within this document, concluding that the Action Plan should result in a reduction in Nitrogen Dioxide levels and will work towards meeting National Air Quality Objective (NAQO) levels. The Council will continue to monitor the levels in all 3 AQMAs and around its district generally as part of its ongoing air quality management duties. The measures in this Action Plan also work towards reducing levels of NO 2 in the enlarged Air Quality Management Area (03A) in the extended town centre, encompassing AQMA 03 Frankwell/Smithfield Road.
