To create, design and build an innovative way of crossing the Severn. School Learning Resources Under and Over Under and Over - Tiny water voles burrow under the reens that drain the forgotten landscape and the two Severn crossings carry thousands of people over the Severn every day. Starlings and sparrowhawks get a birds’ eye view of the estuary while fossils lie just underneath its surface. School Learning Resources Make your Severn crossing You are going to design and make a new innovative way to cross the river Severn. You need to use the materials provided to create a model of your design. Your model must be able to support the lego man across the river. When you have you model come back and test it. School Learning Resources Your design Look at the following slides and take inspiration from designs from the past, present and future.

  • Communications Roads Cheltenham Lies on Routes Connecting the Upper Severn Vale with the Cotswolds to the East and Midlands to the North
    DRAFT – VCH Gloucestershire 15 [Cheltenham] Communications Roads Cheltenham lies on routes connecting the upper Severn Vale with the Cotswolds to the east and Midlands to the north. Several major ancient routes passed nearby, including the Fosse Way, White Way and Salt Way, and the town was linked into this important network of roads by more local, minor routes. Cheltenham may have been joined to the Salt Way running from Droitwich to Lechlade1 by Saleweistrete,2 or by the old coach road to London, the Cheltenham end of which was known as Greenway Lane;3 the White Way running north from Cirencester passed through Sandford.4 The medieval settlement of Cheltenham was largely ranged along a single high street running south-east and north-west, with its church and manorial complex adjacent to the south, and burgage plots (some still traceable in modern boundaries) running back from both frontages.5 Documents produced in the course of administering the liberty of Cheltenham refer to the via regis, the king’s highway, which is likely to be a reference to this public road running through the liberty. 6 Other forms include ‘the royal way at Herstret’ and ‘the royal way in the way of Cheltenham’ (in via de Cheltenham). Infringements recorded upon the via regis included digging and ploughing, obstruction with timbers and dungheaps, the growth of trees and building of houses.7 The most important local roads were those running from Cheltenham to Gloucester, and Cheltenham to Winchcombe, where the liberty administrators were frequently engaged in defending their lords’ rights. Leland described the roads around Cheltenham, Gloucester and Tewkesbury as ‘subject to al sodeyne risings of Syverne, so that aftar reignes it is very foule to 1 W.S.

  • The Value of Water Level Management Transportation Network ©Istockphoto.Com Leadinglights
    The Value of Water Level Management TRANSPORTATION NETWORK ©iStockphoto.com LeadingLights ©iStockphoto.com ada INTRODUCTION Foreword from the Chairman This report emphasises the importance of water level management in ensuring the security of the transportation network in England and Wales. Furthermore, it highlights the interconnectivity of the transportation network, and the important role Internal Drainage Boards (IDBs) play in continuing to keep the country, and the economy, moving. “…the interconnected nature of its networks...lends resilience to the sector. However, the “ “ scale and exposed nature of the network leaves it vulnerable to some significant risk.” 2012 Sector Resilience Plan for Critical Infrastructure, Cabinet Office Britain currently faces a number of stresses: a growing population, climate change and a large budgetary deficit. To meet these challenges we need an economically competitive Britain. For any society this must start with ensuring that fundamental building blocks for growth and prosperity are in place. Transport is one of those crucial building blocks. As a nation we are renewing and improving our transportation networks; Crossrail is currently being built underneath Central London; plans are in place for a new Forth crossing (Queensferry Crossing) and for HS2. But new projects are just part of the picture, at the same time we must do what we can to preserve and enhance our existing infrastructure. The flooding experienced across England in November 2012 is a timely reminder about the impact our weather and climate can have on our ability to move people and freight about our country. ADA and its members play their part in helping keep the country moving, regardless of the mode of transportation.

  • Inquiry Into the Priorities for the Future of Welsh Rail Infrastructure
    Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru National Assembly for Wales Y Pwyllgor Menter a Busnes Enterprise and Business Committee Ymchwiliad i’r Blaenoriaethau ar gyfer Inquiry into the Priorities for the future dyfodol Seilwaith y Rheilffyrdd yng of Welsh Rail Infrastructure Nghymru WRI 11 WRI 11 Cyngor Sir Swydd Gaerloyw Gloucestershire County Council Strategic Planning Shire Hall Gloucester GL1 2TH [email protected] Dear Sir/Madam National Assembly for Wales - Inquiry into the Priorities for the future of Welsh Rail Infrastructure I have been made aware of the above Inquiry. On behalf of Gloucestershire County Council (GCC) I have the following officer comments to make. GCC’s main interest is the Maesteg/Cardiff to Gloucester/Cheltenham service operated by Arriva Trains Wales (ATW) and Lydney station also operated by ATW. Lydney is the only main line railway station within the Forest of Dean and as such is an important component of the area’s infrastructure providing sustainable transport options for residents and visitors alike. Lydney has an allocation of approximately 1900 houses along with additional employment land up to 2026 in their Adopted Core Strategy. Consequently, investment in local rail infrastructure is essential to enable sustainable growth and provide connectivity to the wider area. I have confined my comments to the questions below and they reflect the County’s position as a neighbouring ‘border’ authority. High level priorities for the development of rail infrastructure to provide the capacity and connectivity necessary to support the social and economic well-being of Wales; Response Electrification of the valley lines around Cardiff will improve capacity and connectivity across the city and wider area as well as improving links to other areas of Wales and England including Gloucestershire.

  • Upgrading the Severn Tunnel
    About the Severn Tunnel Upgrading the The Severn Tunnel is a main part of the railway between England and South Wales, with around 200 trains a day passing through it. Severn Tunnel The tunnel, which is 7km long, was built by the Great Western Railway between 1873 and 1886. It was the longest mainline railway tunnel in the UK until 2007, only to be superseded by the opening of a new section of line between the Channel Monday 12 September to Tunnel and London St Pancras International. Friday 21 October 2016 With the Severn Estuary above, ground water is continuously drained between the tracks before being pumped to the surface. Around 50 million litres of fresh spring water is pumped every day from the tunnel and released back into the estuary - equal to 20 Olympic size swimming pools. New trains are on the way From summer 2017 our new Super Express Trains will start to be introduced to the Great Western network. These trains, which can use both electric and diesel power, will have up to 10 carriages, vastly improving the capacity between London Paddington and South Wales - up to a 27% increase in standard seats per train. From Monday 12 September to Friday 21 October 2016 the Severn Tunnel will be closed. This will result in no trains between Patchway and Severn Tunnel Junction, with London services diverted and buses replacing trains between Newport and Bristol. This is for Network Rail to electrify the Severn Tunnel, and the Patchway Tunnels. More information can be found at GWR.com/SevernTunnel2016 Map showing routes affected To Ashchurch for Tewkesbury, Worcester Shrub Hill and Birmingham New Street Trains will be operating from this station.

  • To Read the May 2020 Newsletter No. 33
    Friends of the Goods Shed Community, Creativity, Culture FoGS Newsletter No 33 – May 2020 Coronavirus and the Goods Shed The picture opposite sums up these strange times. A beautiful day and not a car or soul to be found in the Goods Shed car park. We are now well into the second month of complete closure of the arts centre and the café. The paid staff are all on furlough and therefore not allowed to be working. This is not to say that nothing is happening. The Trustees and volunteers continue to do everything possible to ensure that we do not lose any of our loyal patrons and that we shall be able to emerge from this crisis ready once again to open our doors to reveal an eclectic programme of events. We have now reimbursed all those customers who had bought tickets for cancelled events and requested repayment; we are, however, very grateful to all those who have generously allowed us to keep their money or are keen to have their seats already paid for when the events are rescheduled. And, of course, many, many thanks to all those who have generously given us donations via the website and by other means to help us through the Covid19 emergency. We also have some excellent news. Thanks to some great work by Douglas Looman and Joseph Durning, an application to the Arts Council England (ACE) Emergency Response Fund has resulted in a useful award which will be of great help in covering our losses during the closure period and will enable us to pay for the necessary marketing of events when we reopen.
