  • Deanery Newsjuly 2020 Your Bi-Monthly Newsletter
    Deanery NewsJuly 2020 Your Bi-monthly Newsletter Great is thy Faithfulness As I have been reflecting on what to write in this short opening to our Deanery Newsletter, a hymn has been rumbling around in my head, ‘Great is thy faithfulness.’ A hymn written by Thomas Chisholm in about 1923. Chisholm is in many ways an unremarkable character but a prolific writer. His work included being a school teacher, a newspaper editor, and insurance agent. On retirement he spent much time at the Methodist Home for the Aged in New Jersey. This well known hymn started life as a poem and unlike many of this time that have heart-wrenching stories behind them, "Great Is Thy Faithfulness" is inspired by the simple realisation that God is at work in our lives on a daily basis. Chisholm wrote: "My income has not been large at any time due to impaired health in the earlier years which has followed me on until now. Although I must not fail to record here the unfailing faithfulness of a covenant-keeping God and that He has given me many wonderful displays of His providing care, for which I am filled with astonishing gratefulness." For me the simplicity of the truth of understanding that God is at work in our lives at every level. God is in the great and mighty acts of love and compassion, of hard work and heroism that we have witnessed over the last few months, But God is also in the everyday, in the hum drum and routine as well as the space and the isolation.

  • Winshill Referendum Neighbourhood Plan
    WINSHILL PARISH COUNCIL NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN 2012 – 2031 (Referendum Version) 1 CONTENTS Background 3 Vision and Objectives 11 Environment, Green and Blue Infrastructure, 13 Open Spaces and Access to the Countryside Environment Proposals Map 20 Local Heritage Areas 21 Housing 24 Design 27 Employment, the Local Economy and 28 Local Shops and Services Transport and Access 31 Local Priorities 35 Implementation, Monitoring and 37 Review 2 1.1 Background The Winshill Neighbourhood Plan is a new planning document. It covers the plan period 2012 – 2031 to coincide with the period covered by the ESLP. It is part of the Government’s approach to enliven community planning with the aim to give local people more say about what goes on in the area where they live. The legal provisions to create Neighbourhood Plans are set out in the Localism Act that came into force in April 2012. The Neighbourhood Planning process gives communities the opportunity to prepare a vision and planning policies for their area and have them formally made by the Borough Council as part of the statutory Development Plan. The Neighbourhood Plan must meet the basic conditions established by legislation. It must have regard to national policy and guidance (including the National Planning Policy Framework – NPPF) and be in general conformity with the strategic policies of the development plan (which in this case is the East Staffordshire Local Plan which was adopted in October 2015); it must be compatible with European Union obligations; and it must contribute to the achievement of sustainable development. 1.2 Process and Consultation The Plan has been developed through consultation with the people of Winshill and others with an interest in the parish and is based on sound research and evidence.

  • EDITORIAL the Next Issue of This Newsletter Will Be Number 100 By
    EDITORIAL The next issue of this Newsletter will be number 100 by the reckoning I made when I took over with No. 41 in June 1983, 31 years ago. I took over from Brian Ballin after a lacuna of nearly a year, and was given a copy of No. 37, which came out the previous year, to guide me. I received no other briefing and was told by Jeffery Tillett that I was expected to produce four per annum, which for a few years, I obediently did. No one told me that Peter Billson had been doing covers for Brian, so in ignorance I put a steel engraving on the front cover, and hurt his feelings. I also made the Newsletter longer, which put up the cost and eventually the committee told me to reduce the number of issues to two a year. As by this time I was married and promoted at work, this came as a relief, as everything in those days had to be typed laboriously out (and later typed up uniformly by Robin’s sister) and pasted up with illustrations (themselves an innovation) before going off to Tatlers (of blessed memory) for printing. As No. 100 will be my 60 th issue, I sought the committee’s sanction to produce it in colour (good-bye steel engraving on the front cover) and I am sure that those members who have seen the last two issues on the website will know that it looks a million dollars in colour and only a few bob in black-and-white.

  • A History of Bretby Village, with the Chesterfield and Wain Families
    A History of Bretby Village, with the Chesterfield and Wain Families A talk given by Richard Wain in August 2012 at Bretby church to members of Repton Village History Group. Welcome to Bretby. My talk is based on the booklet ‘A Brief History of Bretby’ written by H.J.Wain (my father) in 1964, and ‘Exploring History in south Derbyshire’ by Richard Stone (2009). I lived in Bretby for the first thirty years of my life and I returned to the area twelve years ago. The earliest evidence for the existence of Bretby is the name, which is Danish, and means ‘the dwelling-place of the Britons (Celts)’. The land was occupied by Anglo-Saxons when the Danes invaded and made their base at Repton in 874AD, so the settlement was probably given a Danish name to distinguish it from other Anglo-Saxon villages. The area became part of the Danelaw but the settlement retained its name when the Anglo-Saxons won it back. The first written record of Bretby is the Domesday Book of 1086 AD. This book was a Norman tax record of land ownership and value. (See the entry for Bretby in Domesday). Bretby was then part of the bailiwick of Newton and had been owned by Earl Algar but was now owned by King William. It consisted of 900 acres of cultivated land, supporting 5 plough teams (oxen), 12 acres of common meadow for hay and woodland, measuring two miles by 3 furlongs. It supported 19 villeins and I smallholder, probably 100 people in total, and was worth 100 shillings.

The spatially extensive and long-term perspective of the RS means that the principal benefits are likely to be realised over the longer term, although in some cases this will be hard to predict, notably in respect of soil, air, water, climate and material assets. Here, in the short and medium term, policy effects are unlikely to be measurable, whilst over the longer term, the complex interactions of policies are unpredictable. However, the cumulative effect on air and water quality, for example, of individual policies which seek their improvement should have an overall long term positive effect.

    Author: Michelle Spence Public Ext: 39813 Agenda Item No. 4(d) DERBYSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL MEETING OF CABINET MEMBER – HIGHWAYS, TRANSPORT AND INFRASTRUCTURE 30 July 2020 Report of the Executive Director – Economy, Transport and Environment MINERALS LOCAL PLAN – SAND AND GRAVEL CONSULTATION (1) Purpose of Report To seek the Cabinet Member’s approval for Derbyshire County Council to carry out a consultation on the latest stage in the preparation of the Minerals Local Plan which is about the provision of sand and gravel in Derbyshire, including proposed sand and gravel sites. (2) Information and Analysis Derbyshire County Council and Derby City Council (the Councils) are working together to prepare a joint Minerals Local Plan, the Derbyshire and Derby Minerals Local Plan, which will cover the geographical area of Derbyshire and Derby, excluding the Peak District National Park. The Plan period is to 2036. An important aspect of this Plan will be to ensure there is a steady and adequate supply of sand and gravel. This is essential material for the construction industry and is vital for maintaining economic prosperity. This supply will be maintained through existing planning permissions and the provision of new sites. This is constrained by the fact that minerals can only be quarried where they occur which, for Derbyshire and Derby means the sites located in the alluvial sand and gravel area of the Trent, Derwent and Lower Dove Valleys in the south of the Plan area. A revision to national planning policy in 2019 stipulated that local plans should cover a 15 year period from the time of adoption.
