Her Majesty the Queen: Update

With great sadness, we inform you that a book of condolences has been placed in the Old Police Station, High Street, Chipping Campden. There will be a short ceremony comprising prayers led by the Vicar and clergy representing all the congregations in the Town and the laying of a wreath in memory of HM Queen Elizabeth II at 3 pm on Sunday 11th September 2022 at the War Memorial, Chipping Campden.This will be followed by the reading of the Local Proclamation of the new Monarch by the Town Mayor.The proclamation of the new Sovereign is a very old tradition which can be traced back over many centuries. The ceremony is an announcement of the accession which took place immediately on the death of the reigning monarch. It is an opportunity to come together and reflect on the moment in our nation’s history when the reign of our longest-serving Monarch came to an end and our new Sovereign succeeded.<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="hashtag" href="https://campdenonline.beam.gg/search?hashtag=QueenElizabeth"> <a data-hashtag class="hashtag" data-id="QueenElizabeth" href="https://campdenonline.beam.gg/search?hashtag=QueenElizabeth">#QueenElizabeth</a> </a> <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="hashtag" href="https://campdenonline.beam.gg/search?hashtag=GodSaveTheQueen"> <a data-hashtag class="hashtag" data-id="GodSaveTheQueen" href="https://campdenonline.beam.gg/search?hashtag=GodSaveTheQueen">#GodSaveTheQueen</a> </a>

Following the question posed (by the Climate Change Working Party of Chipping Campden Town Council )what is being done/what can be done regardig Light Pollution In 2019 I was pleased ot be part of a group From Cotswold AONB that formulated the Dark Skies policy - though I have to admit the other party did most of the work. If you turn to the link:-<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.cotswoldsaonb.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Dark-Skies-Artificial-Light-Appendix-A-Night-lights.pdf">https://www.cotswoldsaonb.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Dark-Skies-Artificial-Light-Appendix-A-Night-lights.pdf</a>You will see that the picture tells a thousand stories. All that wasted light polluting the night sky. Light pollution is one of the easiest to be mapped. Th emajor towns adjacent to the Cotswolds can clearly be shown, but increasingly teh smaller market towns and larger villages are showing increasing levels of light pollution. This comes in part from suburbanisation of these rural areas. So active rather than passive control is now needed. Why worry about light pollution. Well it affects many of our nightime mammals and insects We all - plants, animals have adapted over millions of years to take account of the naturlarythms of daylight, nightitme and even seasons. On a more general and day to day level - what is happening ot our bodies that naturally says it’s daytime or nightitme. It is fairly well documented that people who do shift work or experience great changes in day length (aircrew etc going thorugh different time zones) find it quite difficult ot regain the normal sleep patterns. Not all insects or mammals of course are active in daylight, lots of moths are only active at night. From smaller animals to birds of prey - owls - hunt at night. All part of this circadian rythm.So when we have lots of light pollution the body~ be it moth, owl or human ~ isn’t quite sure whether it is day or night. Light pollution affects circadian rythms which in turn can affect hunting; breeding ; migration patterns or just plain old human stress!Some work by CPRE also demonstrated that far from causing greater break-ins, dark skies and dark places actually led to reduced crime. As all the Local Planning Auhtorities in the Cotswold area have signed into the Management plan - which contains the dark skies policy, there is quite a variation in active interpretation.Poor design of outdoor lighting ( and I include a personal dislike of up-lighters ) can be hazardous to motorists, pedestirans as well as annoying to neighbours. But it’s not just about overcoming annoying issues such as poor installation. Dark Skies in Northumberland has actually increased tourist take, as people enojoy - the sky at night.So those are the reasons for the Dark Skies policies of the Cotswold National Protected Landscapes and how we can all benefit Liz h

Projects designed to promote Gloucestershire as a 'Great Rail Experience' have received £30,000 each from Great Western Railway and long-distance operator CrossCountry. Gloucestershire Community Rail Partnership (GCRP) is spearheading work to develop a series of bookable "Taste for Travel" trails and place-based experiences radiating from Gloucestershire's railway stations. The trails build on existing <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://gfirstlep.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c923dcd8397c35d432ff25f44&amp;id=4d58ccdd53&amp;e=49d522c203">Taste for Travel</a> maps and will be designed to link rail travel to local experiences, food and accommodation through a bookable platform that builds and maps bespoke integrated experiences. The aim is to encourage visitors to see rail as part of the adventure, leave the station to explore nearby attractions, stay longer and experience local businesses. Gloucestershire Community Rail Partnership will be working with Visit Gloucestershire, destination marketing organisations, community organisations and the private sector to map, test and promote the trails. Taking a place-based approach this initiative aims to harness local benefits and encourage visitors to discover the county using sustainable modes of transport. Building on the trails GCRP will develop tools to support future rail2leisure initiatives through a working blueprint. The blueprint will identify the opportunity and benefit to joint working between destination management organisations, community rail partnerships, and rail operators. Great British Railways: Williams-Shapps plan for rail identifies Community Rail Partnerships as playing a critical role in developing effective rail2leisure initiatives. Partnership working in this context supports delivery on net zero targets, compliments the sustainability agenda and economic recovery of the visitor economy and the rail industry.As part of their franchise agreements with the Department for Transport, train operators are committed to funding projects proposed by their Community Rail Partnerships.
