Bishops Cannings Parish Newsletter March 2020 Bishops Cannings Parish Newsletter March 2020 Bishops Cannings Parish Council Newsletter, March 2020 1 LETTER FROM THE CHAIR As I write this, we have just finished the second of our Neighbourhood Plan consultations. There was a fair turnout, so thank you to everyone who made the effort to attend. Every comment that was written down by residents will be transferred into a document that will be used to produce our strategic priorities or, in simpler words, a list of aims for the future benefit of the Parish. We already have some idea of what is lacking in our area, but your feedback has identified more. A wish for better access to footpaths in open countryside and to the sports facilities on Hopton Industrial Estate was a particular request from those of you living at Corn Croft and Lay Wood. By the time of the next newsletter, the Parish Council will have discussed the results and we will give a more detailed update then. Some months ago, the Parish Council had discussions with Wiltshire Council regarding the poor condition of the numerous play areas in their care. As explained previously, Wiltshire Council no longer undertakes repairs to play equipment; it is either removed or left with a barrier around it to prevent use. We were able to secure some funding from Wiltshire in return for an undertaking to take on responsibility for upkeep. A list of urgent repairs has been produced by the Parish Council and costed by the play area contractor. The work has been agreed and will take place at Richmond Close, Hopgood Close, Waterside Park, Cygnet Close, Anzio Road, Hillier Road and Le Marchant. Fences damaged in recent storms will also be repaired. Once completed, we will look at what funds we have available for replacing missing equipment and worn play surfaces. As Spring approaches, I hope that our local children will be able to enjoy playing in the newly refurbished areas and, with our future plans to make the most of what green space we have in our Parish, that everyone can step out of their front door and be somewhere green and pleasant within a very short distance.

  • Bishops Cannings Parish Newsletter October 2019
    Bishops Cannings Parish Newsletter October 2019 Bishops Cannings Parish Council Newsletter, October 2019 1 LETTER FROM THE CHAIR It is heartening to see that at last, the environment is a subject that is being taken seriously. The Parish Council has received a newsletter from Wiltshire Council Highways department stating that they are keen to hear from any local community about how they think they can help improve rural highway verges for the benefit of wildlife and wild flowers. As a rural Parish you would expect us to have a good range of wildflowers already, but sadly this is not the case. Intensive farming methods and the continuous building of new roads has led to the loss of extensive areas of potentially wildlife-rich land. Some of our road verges are full of cow parsley in May, but this is a tough plant that can withstand being cut down and then smothered with chopped clippings. Many of our other wildflowers are more delicate and have disappeared entirely because they cannot withstand this treatment. There are many of us who like the well-kept look and object to leaving any area to grow long because it can look scruffy once the flowers have died back in the late summer. There are also places where it is necessary to cut the verges regularly to allow motorists to see clearly around bends and at junctions. However, it would benefit both us and our wildlife if we could just adjust our mindset and allow some places to ‘go wild’. This does not mean completely abandoning an area, but cutting it just once or twice a year and removing the clippings each time.

  • The Ancestry of Susannah Moore, My Great (X8
    The Ancestry of Susannah Moore, my Great (x8) Grandmother (born Susannah Drew in 1676 at Bishop's Cannings, Wiltshire) By Mark Wareham Last updated 20th January 2014 The information contained in these spreadsheets is gathered from several sources. I have tried to use recognised source material where it is available such as Visitation reports of the Harleian Society of the 16th and 17th centuries, wills, county histories or other reference books. There is some information from the internet such as Wikipedia Or some independent study and where that is the case I have tried to point that out as it is generally less reliable. For maternal ancestral branches refer to the worksheets arranged in alphabetical order according to family name.
