MINCHINHAMPTON OLD COURSE GOLF CLUB, 4 MINCHINHAMPTON COMMON DID YOU KNOW? The legend of Tom Long’s Post (where five roads meet on Minchinhampton Common) has intrigued residents and travellers alike for well over a century. How did the ‘post’ get its name? Some say Tom Long was an early highwayman, who had an affair with the daughter of the landlord of the Amberley Inn, and that the post marks either the spot where he used to hold up coaches or the spot where he was hanged. However others are more sceptical as there is no record of a highwayman called Tom Long and local executions were carried out in Gloucester. But another possibility is suicide. Support for this comes from an account of a lecture, by Charles Playne in 1874, when he said “at the beginning of the 19th century, Tom Long hung himself in a cottage near Rodborough Manor House and was buried at the cross-roads”.

    Stroud Labour Party

    Gloucestershire County Council single member ward review Response from Stroud Constituency Labour Party Introduction On 30 November the Local Government Boundary Commission started its second period of consultation for a pattern of divisions for Gloucestershire. Between 30 November and 21 February the Commission is inviting comments on the division boundaries for GCC. Following the completion of its initial consultation, the Commission has proposed that the number of county councillors should be reduced from 63 to 53. The districts have provided the estimated numbers for the electorate in their areas in 2016; the total number for the county is 490,674 so that the average electorate per councillor would be 9258 (cf. 7431 in 2010). The main purpose of this note is to draw attention to the constraints imposed on proposals for a new pattern of divisions in Stroud district, which could lead to anomalies, particularly in ‘bolting together’ dissimilar district wards and parishes in order to meet purely numerical constraints. In it own words ‘the Commission aims to recommend a pattern of divisions that achieves good electoral equality, reflects community identities and interests and provides for effective and convenient local government. It will also seek to use strong, easily-identifiable boundaries. ‘Proposals should demonstrate how any pattern of divisions aids the provision of effective and convenient local government and why any deterioration in equality of representation or community identity should be accepted. Representations that are supported by evidence and argument will carry more weight with the Commission than those which merely assert a point of view.’ While a new pattern of ten county council divisions is suggested in this note, it is not regarded as definitive but does contain ways of avoiding some possible major anomalies.
