12 Months As Your Councillor Cllr Stuart McQuillan Petty Haverson Community Solidarity in Challenging Times In response to the Coronavirus pandemic I have witnessed Long Ashton residents show amazing community spirit. Through the personal drive and kindness of residents fantastic support networks have been established in Long Ashton, Leigh Woods, Wraxall and Failand. I have personally experienced the support given by the Long Ashton network when my family was in isolation, and I am grateful for the support given. I have also been impressed by how quickly local businesses have been able to adapt and rapidly introduce safe ways to deliver essential goods and services to the communities they serve. For more information on the Long Ashton I am proud to be part of this community and have played a small part Coronavirus Network go to: in the establishment of the Long Ashton community network. I will continue to advise and support this network as a member of its http://www.lacovid.org steering group. Please do get in touch with your local group if you need help or wish to volunteer. The contact details for these groups can be found on the North Somerset Together website here. 12 months as your councillor It has been 12 months since I was elected to be one of your representatives on North Somerset Council, and I remain honoured to have been elected to the position. My aim was to help the communities of Long Ashton Ward retain their unique character, whilst becoming safer and more sustainable. I have therefore been delighted to have been able to reinvigorate Community Speedwatch in Long Ashton. I am particularly grateful to the Police and existing groups in Nailsea who have been of tremendous support. Unfortunately, Community Speedwatch is currently suspended due to social distancing rules but please get in touch if you want to get involved, as I am keen to Stuart meeting with fantastic progress this as soon as it is safe to do so. community Speedwatch volunteers I have continued to work closely with the two Parish Councils in Long Ashton ward. I encouraged Long Ashton Council to declare a Climate Emergency and I worked with them on the establishment of Long Ashton’s first 20mph zone. I have worked with Fairland and Wraxall council to agree some tree planting as part of North Somerset’s ambitious wilding programme. I continue to chair the community library working group, and with location and funding now agreed I am confident a community library can become a reality once lockdown is lifted. I have been contacted by residents raising many different concerns over the last 12 months, from fly tipping to dangerous parking. I am pleased to have been able to make some changes in response to these concerns. On fly tipping, I have pressed North Somerset to step up its enforcement, leading to the purchase of new enforcement cameras that are now active. On dangerous parking at Lovelinch Gardens, I worked with Long Ashton Parish Council and officers to introduce limited waiting bays and parking restrictions, that have been implemented. Massive decision by your local council I was one of the Green Party Councillors on the planning committee that voted against the expansion of Bristol Airport, along with the vast majority of councillors of all parties and independents. I felt that expansion was incompatible with serious and necessary action on climate change and that the additional congestion would have caused misery for residents across Long Ashton Ward and North Somerset. I am hopeful that this decision, along with one concerning expasion of Stansted airport, will lead to a Stuart with Cllr Petty on the day of the more sustainable national transport policy. planning decision Get in touch If you have a comment or concern about issues in any of the communities in Long Ashton Ward, Stuart would like to hear from you.

The relationship can be quite complex. It is determined by numerous factors which need to be taken into account in planning for growth. 1.2 The purpose of this Topic Paper is to set out the evidence in terms of the settlements in North Somerset in order to identify their current function and functional relationships with other settlements. The evidence will form the basis on which a hierarchy of settlements will be established. In particular the identification of Development Policy B and C settlements set out in the draft RSS. The Paper will also consider how policies have influenced the form and function of settlements and inform any discussion of whether the current list of inset and washed over Green Belt settlements is still appropriate and whether settlement boundaries are still the appropriate planning tool for many green belt and rural settlements.

    Long Ashton Neighbourhood Development Plan Appendices 2 August 2014 Long Ashton Neighbourhood Development Plan 2013 - 2026 Appendices August 2014 Appendix A History of Long Ashton BY RUTH POOLE Published in Bath and Avon Family History Society Journal 107 March 2002 The North Somerset parish of Long Ashton, bounded by the ancient parishes of Bedminster (now in the city of Bristol), Dundry, Barrow Gurney, Flax Bourton, Wraxall and Abbots Leigh and part of the river Avon, comprises the villages of Long Ashton and Leigh Woods, and the Ashton Court Estate and its mansion. Until the parish boundary changes in the second half of the 20th century, Farleigh Hospital, formerly the Bedminster Union Workhouse was in the western edge of the parish, and the former hamlet of Bower Ashton was absorbed into the city of Bristol. Prehistoric artefacts have been found in the parish and there were Iron Age hill forts at Burwalls, near Clifton Suspension Bridge and at Stokeleigh in Leigh Woods. A horde of Roman coins was discovered in Ashton Park in 1815 and more have been found in the village. A large Roman settlement has been excavated at Gatcombe at the western edge of the parish. Wansdyke, a massive earthwork, possibly constructed c .577AD may have passed through the parish. Rev. John COLLINSDON, vicar of Long Ashton (1787-93) and Somerset historian, quoted a deed dated 1310 that referred to Venella de Wondesditch in Long Ashton and he described the route of Wansdyke through the parish. The lower part of Yanley Lane was marked as Wansdyke on the 1885 Ordnance Survey map.

  • Pigeons of Bristol (Richard) This Bristol Family Seems to Have Been One of the Better Educated Families of Pigeons (As They Consistently Spelt Their Name)
    PIGEONs of Bristol (Richard) This Bristol family seems to have been one of the better educated families of Pigeons (as they consistently spelt their name). Walter Pigeon was a successful solicitor in Bristol. His eldest son Richard also became a solicitor, while his youngest son Henry became a surgeon. Richard's son Henry Walter also became a surgeon and Henry's son John Henry was a medical practitioner. The family was also closely related to that of W G Grace, the famous cricketer. Richard Walter (1832-1887) was widowed in 1863, and a year later he married the actress Henrietta HODSON. After giving birth to a son George Walter Noel, Henrietta went back to the stage in London, openly living with the MP and journalist Henry Du Pré LABOUCHÈRE. After Richard attempted to divorce Henrietta in 1869, Labouchère reputedly paid Richard £10,000 to “shut up and go away”. He and Henrietta were eventually married after Richard’s death in 1887. The living descendants of this family are now to be found mainly in the south-east of England and Stockport, Cheshire. One descendant (another surgeon) emigrated to New Zealand.

  • NORTH SOMERSET LOCAL PLAN 2038 Choices for the Future: a Northern Corridor Proposal from the Parish Councils of Abbots Leigh A
    NORTH SOMERSET LOCAL PLAN 2038 Choices for the Future: A Northern Corridor Proposal from the Parish Councils of Abbots Leigh and Pill and Easton- in-Gordano 1 Introduction The North Somerset Local Plan 2038 Choices for the Future proposes four approaches to how and where new housing development might be located. We are concerned about the scale of housing required by Government as well as the capacity of the development industry to deliver such numbers. Nevertheless, North Somerset will be vulnerable to planning applications for major development should housing targets not be met and this proposal, therefore, respects the target numbers. In our view each of the four approaches - Retain the Green Belt, Urban Focus, Transport Corridors and Dispersal – have strengths and weaknesses. This submission proposes an approach to North Somerset as a whole which draws on elements of the four approaches and meets the required target housing numbers (15,500 to 17,500). This hybrid approach is set out below in Table 1.

  • July 2019 No. 475 Editorial So Here We Go with the Second Half of 2019, Welcome to the July Edition, Number 475
    ISLE OF WEDMORE NEWS July 2019 No. 475 Editorial So here we go with the second half of 2019, welcome to the July Edition, number 475. Firstly, I am delighted to report that the Management Committee of the IOW News was able to make financial awards to the following organisations this year: Wedmore in Bloom; the Wedmore Village Hall; Wedmore by Lamplight; the Wedmore Twinning Association; and the Wedmore Arts Festival. Overall, we were able to put £2000 back into the community, perhaps slightly less than in recent years, but this is because we have not passed any of our ever-increasing production costs onto our sponsors. As I mentioned in the July Edition, this month includes the final recipe from Stuart Fisher, so a hearty thank you to Stuart for supporting this feature for several years. Again may I appeal for new authors to come forward so that we can continue to include this popular item every month, or indeed, if anyone would care to submit just one or two recipes, it would be much appreciated. Hearty congratulations to the organisers of the Wedmore Arts Festival on delivering yet another wonderful event. I am pleased to say I managed to see Blowers, who was excellent, although I had heard the Boycott Curry joke before, but won’t share that here in polite company. Deadline for August Edition: 1 July 2019 Contact the Wedmore News Editorial Copy / Items for Publication Bill Sutton, Culverhays, 9 Combe Batch, Wedmore BS28 4DU (710475) Email [email protected] What’s On Listings and Contact Details for your Club / Organisation Liz Henderson, 12 Church Street, Wedmore.
