From the EditorA MAGICAL SPELL - OF SUMMER
Everyone has commented on it – it took a long time coming; theseasons were looking almost permanently confused; and then wewere given Summer - and everything in the fields and gardensseemed to happen at once! I don’t remember seeing brilliantlyyellow rape fields ablaze with red poppies before – but haven’tthey been stunning!
Cotswold District Council will, I hope, have received ‘ahundredweight’ of letters, emails and messages constructivelyobjecting, commenting and assessing their Draft Local Plan. Idoubt if a local plan has ever attracted so much attention, andpotentially been so important! I understand that the planningofficers will be sorting and analysing the results well intoSeptember and maybe beyond.
Meanwhile there is time to do some homework on our ownNeighbourhood Plan; discuss and set out ideas as to how wewould like to see our communities, help our councillors work outnew plans and solutions to problems. Where new housing couldand should go, what amenities we might really need in five, tenand twenty years’ time - the doctor’s surgeries, libraries, sportand leisure facilities, and how to deal with traffic problems, andparking! There’s the landscape, our businesses and trade. There isso much more to our town - and we all have ideas – and they willall count if we are going to get it right for the future.. Please do get involved. Sometimes community matters becausewe can make a difference, and that is where we are at themoment. Please don’t be the someone who grizzles when thingsdon’t suit them, but who never got involved when they had theopportunity.
If you need an excuse to get out and about into our wonderfultowns and villages this month. there is a very good one on pages9-15 of the magazine – our annual photographic competition.Everyone can enter and every entry could win a prize, evenincomplete ones!
I hope you will have a wonderful August, Best wishes

Looking ahead, our deliveries may bequite well timed for slightly cooler days – let’s hope so!
*Christabel Hardacre, Jan Marley and yours truly - with additional supportfrom our regular correspondents who send in their school, club and charitynews to share with the wider community. It is these contributions whichkeeps the magazines uniquely local – and without thems the pages would beconsiderably less interesting every month.

Established in 1895, 850 feet above sea level on a
Cotswold escarpment with wonderful panoramic views
across the Vale of Evesham to the Malvern Hills and
Black Mountains, Broadway golf course provides an
interesting challenge to golfers of all abilities. Careful
use has been made of the natural contours, with rolling
fairways intersected by Cotswold dry-stone walls and
undulating greens that test even the best of golfers.
But Broadway is not only a venue for golf - it has a very
busy and thriving social side as well. It has an excellent
reputation for its food and bar services, having won the
prestigious Golf World Magazine Whyte & Mackay ‘Best
19th Hole’ Award. It is particularly renowned for its Sunday
Carvery and themed Italian, Greek, Chinese and Indian
evenings. Quiz nights, summer balls and New Years’ Eve
Dances are regular events, and not forgetting the 200 Club
with the opportunity to win some attractive cash prizes.
Being founded in 1895 has resulted in Broadway becoming
a member of the 1895 Club. Linked with 44 other UK and
foreign golf clubs established in the same year, it provides
reciprocal member’s playing rights to visitors from other
1895 Clubs. Having 3 such clubs within 90 minutes’ drive
provides an opportunity to play different courses, with trips
regularly organised by Broadway members to spend a few
days playing 1895 Clubs in Devon, Cornwall and Scotland.
There is even an 1895 Club in New Zealand!
Above all, Broadway is a
traditional members’ club,
run by members for the
members. There are
thriving Ladies, Seniors and
Junior Sections, a very full
programme of
competitions to suit all
levels of abilities, with ‘roll ups’ on most days providing the
opportunity to meet and play with different members.

THE CHARITY COMMISSIONThe regulator for charities in England and Wales.
CharityGiving website suspended - charity regulator acts to protect
public donations
12 July 2013 The online giving website www.charitygiving.co.uk has been suspended. In order to protect fundsthe public has raised and prevent further charitable pledges being made via the website whilst theCharity Commission’s investigation continues, the decision has been taken to suspend theCharityGiving online portal with immediate effect. The action was taken after careful considerationand consultation with the Charity Commission as part of the Commission’s statutory inquiry into TheDove Trust. CharityGiving is an online fundraising portal run by The Dove Trust (registered charitynumber 287401).
Michelle Russell, Head of Investigations and Enforcement at the Charity Commission, said:“We have taken this action because of serious concerns about the trustees’ management of thefundraising portal and the charity’s financial situation. We know that the public will be concerned toensure that donations made reach the charities for whom they were intended, and the interimmanager will now undertake an urgent, detailed review of the charity’s finances to establish theextent of the shortfall and which charities and donors are affected.
Our concerns are limited to The Dove Trust and the CharityGiving portal and this should notundermine public confidence in online giving. We have issued advice to the public about giving safelyand will work with the fundraising community to reassure the public.”
The Commission cannot assist individual donors, fundraisers or charities to advise whether or notthey are affected, or whether or not their funds will be paid - any such queries must be directed tothe interim manager. Donors and charities who are concerned about funds pledged via CharityGivingshould contact: [email protected] or phone 0207 842 7313.
Any funds donated on or after 12th July should be automatically directed back to the donor throughthe banking system, however, donors should check their bank accounts to ensure this has happenedand if not, contact the Interim Manager. It is expected that an alternative option will be set up by theInterim Manager shortly so that donors can continue to support charities. Charities and donorsshould check regularly the CharityGiving website for updates.

GREEN BELT PLANNING POLICY - COULD IT HELP TO PROTECT OUR TOWNS FROM URBAN SPRAWL? WE DID A BIT OF RESEARCH…
Last month Nigel More examined the case for a Green Belt to protect the special character of Moreton in Marsh and Stow on the Wold,
closing his article with “The AONB policy can preserve landscape and scenic beauty but only a Green Belt can preserve openness and that
ultimately in the long run is what will preserve the character of these Cotswold market towns.”
Government policy on the protection for the green belt is set out in chapter 9 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) – the
document which setting out the framework within which local people and their accountable councils can produce their own distinctive local
and neighbourhood plans, which reflect the needs and priorities of their communities. (It was CDC’s Draft Local Plan that invited our
response last month; groups in Stow & Moreton are currently working on their own Local or Neighbourhood Plans.)
In the House of Commons Library is a Standard Note SN/SC/934 titled ‘Green Belt’. It is available online. It tells us that “The Government’s
fundamental aim of green belt policy is to prevent urban scrawl by keeping land permanently open. The NPPF states that the construction of
new buildings should be regarded as ‘inappropriate’ for the green belt, although there are exceptions*. It is for local authorities to define and
maintain green belt land in their local areas. The Government expects local planning authorities with green belts to establish green belt
boundaries in their Local Plans. Green belt boundaries can be altered as part of the local Plan review process.
The Government has not announced any proposals to change green belt protection. However, a ministerial statement in September 2012
encouraged local councils to use existing laws to review the extent of green belt in their local areas. As an incentive to use these powers,
councils who review green belt land in their local plans will have their local plan examination process prioritised.
In 2010 Natural England and the CPRE published a report which concluded that green belt policy continues to be ‘highly effective’ in its
principle purpose. The organisations called for ‘more ambition’ to further enhance the green belt protection for future generations.
The NPPF also states that new green belts should only be established in
‘exceptional circumstances’- “for example when planning for larger scale
development such as new settlements or major urban extensions.
“The green belt is an important protection against urban sprawl, providing a
‘green lung’ around towns and cities. The Coalition Agreement commits the
Government to safeguarding green belt and other environmental designations, as
in the in the new NPPF.
“As has always been the case, councils can review local designations to promote
growth. We encourage councils to use the flexibilities set out in the NPPF to tailor
the extent of green belt land in their area to reflect local circumstances. Where
green belt is considered in reviewing or drawing up Local Plans, we will support
councils to move quickly through the process by prioritising their Local Plan
examinations. There is considerable previously developed land in many green belt
areas, which could be put to more productive use. We encourage councils to make
best use of this land, whist protecting the openness of the green belt in line with
the requirements of the NPPF.”
Interestingly, in a statement last month, The Hon. Mr Pickles, Secretary of State for
Communities and Local Government, said: “having considered recent planning
decisions by councils and the Planning Inspectorate, it has become apparent that
in some cases, the green belt is not being given the sufficient protection that was
the explicit policy intent of ministers. The Secretary of State wishes to make clear
that, in considering planning applications, although each case will depend on its
fact, he considers that the single issue of unmet demand, whether for traveller
sites or for conventional housing, is unlikely to outweigh harm to the green belt
and other harm to constitute the ‘very special circumstances justifying
inappropriate development in the green belt’.”
Time now, I think, to find out about the process of how to get a green belt. If it
looked right, would you support a green belt?
Editor.
* broadly, buildings for agriculture and forestry; appropriate sports and
recreational facilities; the extension, alteration or appropriate replacement of a
building; limited infilling in villages and limited affordable housing for local
community needs under policies set out in the Local Plan; limited infilling or the
partial/ complete redevelopment of brownfield land which would not have a
greater impact on the green belt than the existing development.

Coming to a field near you (and sooner than you think!)
From Jude Walker
I was recently talking to a Badger Trust volunteer about the imminent
badger cull in Gloucestershire and was informed that “our badgers are
safe, we vaccinate them” - I replied that NO badgers are safe,
vaccinated or not.
Despite all the scientific evidence a badger cull is not only going ahead
in Gloucestershire but will be rolled out nationwide over the next 25
years. The Chair of the 10 year Government-commissioned
Randomised Cull Trials, and Editor of the Independent Science Group,
Lord Krebs (along with all leading independent animal disease experts)
concluded,” a badger cull can provide no meaningful contribution to
the control of bovineTB”. The aim is to kill 70% of the badger
population but no-one is sure what 100% is.
The government is hell-bent on the imminent slaughter of up to 3,000
badgers just in Gloucestershire, of which only 5% ( a Gov’t statistic)
might carry TB. Lord Krebs further warned that due to the
perturbation effect (badgers fleeing to other areas) any disease could
be carried into other areas. DEFRA itself has been forced to reveal
through a Freedom of Information request that most badgers will, due
to their physiology, not be killed outright and will suffer long lingering
deaths underground, their cubs also. The humaneness of the “free-
shooting at night in secret locations by armed gangs” (quote from the
respected “Smallholder”), with no Risk Assessments being made
public, will be tested “by the sounds they make when dying”. And we
call ourselves a civilised country?
The clue is in the title-BOVINE TB. This is a cattle-borne and cattle-
spread disease that has been passed to ALL of our wildlife. It is a
serious problem - 28,000 cattle prematurely slaughtered. But let’s not
forget that 5 million cattle are slaughtered annually, so bTB represents
a mere half a percent - and many more cattle are slaughtered due to
mastitis and hoof disease, symptomatic diseases of cattle in poor
health and intensively farmed.
The solution lies in cattle measures: cattle movement and rigorous
testing imposed by the EU have already seen a fall in bTB over 6 years;
improved bio-security and better animal husbandry; an approved cattle
vaccine which is not as far away as the NFU Leaders would have us
believe (NB. only 18% of farmers belong to the NFU, and they were
never balloted about a badger cull). Local farmers are speaking out
against the cull. We can vaccinate badgers now, and have an army of
volunteers to deliver this. It is just the political will that is needed. A
government minister said to Lord Krebs:“we have to offer farmers a
carrot and that carrot is a badger cull”. Shameful.
This is a PR disaster waiting to happen. Public opposition from ‘Middle
England’ and rising policing costs paid for by local taxpayers - not great
news for our tourism or our businesses, and certainly not for our
farmers.
You can write to our MP, Geoffrey Clifton-Brown,
[email protected] and to our recently elected County
Councillor, Nigel Moor [email protected], to express your
opposition (Gloucestershire County Council have already voted against
the cull - what price local democracy?).
The facts are out there. Also go the website
www.glosagainstbadgershooting.org to volunteer for the peaceful and
legal Wounded Badger Patrol.

There is much debate about local planning applications for a super-market anda retirement village and while it’s not my job to comment on these either way,it is my job to help support businesses which provide employmentopportunities for local people, whether these are large organisations or smalllocal businesses. Personally, I think it would be helpful if district, town & parishcouncils, with the help of local people, identified the type of businesses wewould like to attract to the area and to make a concerted effort to encouragethese businesses to come to the North Cotswolds. We have lots to offer. Helpshould also be given to smaller businesses, many of them one man bands,which have outgrown their dining room tables and are now looking to rentcommercial premises at a reasonable cost. The cost of renting commercialproperty in this area is too high, stopping many small businesses moving orbecoming bigger. We could also help by making that extra effort to buy fromlocal suppliers and shopping locally where possible. This will put more moneyback into the local economy and create more employment opportunities. Yes,shopping on the internet is cheaper but is it creating local jobs? Yes, petrol ischeaper at the supermarkets but how far will you have to drive to fill-up in anemergency if all our local filling stations close? The business model is changingrapidly & certain businesses need to shake themselves into the modern world -but it is up to all of us to ensure that our local economy is vibrant, providingjobs for local people & giving businesses an incentive to locate to this area.
Don’t be caught out. HMRC inspectors are on the prowl & could be heading inyour direction, so make sure you deal with any paperwork or your Tax Return ingood time, or pass it onto your accountant to deal with. It makes sense – if youfile your Returns early you’ll know well in advance how much you need to pay!
Should you require help with your accounts, payroll, Vat or any other aspect oftaxation you should either contact your accountant or give me a ring for freetelephone advice.

Moreton Rangers Fair Play Award
Moreton Rangers Under 9 Team (pictured ) were presented with the Fair Play
Award for the Under 9 age group at the recent Witney and District Youth Football
League AGM.
They topped the scoring for fair play marks which are awarded by the opposition at
each game they play. A total of 38 teams are involved at this age level so it was a
great honour for the team to be singled out as the most sporting players.
Under 18 Team
Moreton Rangers are hoping to start up an Under 18 Team this season. Training
will be on Tuesday evenings at 7.30pm at London Road. Contact Chris Burdock on
07920137478 or Paul Luker on 07789515072 for details.
Stroud Parents Launch Safety Awareness Network To Protect Local Families
A new Safety Awareness Network created by parents in Gloucestershire is officially launched this week to
address common dangers affecting individuals and families. The network focuses on personal, home,
community, school and workplace safety issues.
Chris Davis set up the network following three recent incidents in the area when children under 13 have been approached by people trying to
lure them into their cars. In all the incidents the children escaped unharmed, but very
disturbed. "The lack of publicity these incidents received is a disgrace. Despite having
children of the same age as those who were approached we only heard about these ncidents
a week later in our local paper. Why weren't all schools in the area informed immediately?
The technology to let people know
about these types of dangers exists
and isn’t complicated but for some
reason it doesn't get used. We want
to change that before someone does
get harmed."
The Safety Awareness Network is
working with a mobile app partner to
develop a simple mobile app and
warning system to let people know
about current issues and dangers in
their area. The network acts as an
online hub for new and existing
safety campaigns and projects, and is
seeking individuals, organisations and
services who can help to support and
raise awareness of important safety
issues. Join at
http://safety.addmysupport.com or
contact [email protected]
for more information.
