How sad it is to see refugees streaming across Europe again—one wonders if anything has been learnt from the human tragedies of the 20th Century. The residents of Over Kellet have the basic necessities of a home, food and health care – things we take for granted but are not all available to those refugees. And we have so much more—education, hobbies and toys for our children, holidays, a beautiful area to live in etc. Last weekend in the village there were two events to enjoy—the Horticultural Show and the Musical Charity Day organised by Paul and Lesley Gee to celebrate the astonishing feat of Paul building an organ in their house. Both of these events have raised money for good causes—the Show for Morecambe Homeless Action and the Musical Day for St John’s Hospice and St John’s Church, Yealand. It is great that so many people in the village are willing to do their bit to help those in need—l hope that our country, the countries of Europe and the rest of the world can do the same for those more distant from our everyday lives.

Sue and I spent our holiday with my cousin and her husband near Norwich. One of the lasting memories was visiting a local farm when Sue and I held a new-born lamb. I think a new-born lamb is one of the most beautiful animals of all. When the ewe has cleaned her new-born lamb and licked it to fluffy white, it is so clean you just want to touch it. It is also the most defenceless animal. Our Lord Jesus Christ is referred to in Scripture as “The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world”. The farmer told me that if you want to catch a young calf to dehorn, dose or inoculate it, it fights, kicks and makes a tremendous noise. A little lamb will stand there and virtually let you do anything to it. It will not even defend itself. The Bible speaks about Jesus being like “a lamb led to the slaughter”. A lamb is the only animal that will not put up a fight. That reminds me of the Lord Jesus Christ when he stood before Pontius Pilate. The Bible says He never uttered a word, He was totally defenceless. He died on a cross at Calvary so that your sin and mine could be forgiven if we repent and trust Him because He is alive today. Next time you see lambs, spend time and think about “the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world”. He died so we can be forgiven and lives so we can have eternal life, through faith and trust in Him. Your friends Rev. Ken & Sue Clapham At Your Service: Rev Ken, Sue and Alan are available for any parishioner or visitor to our Parish who is ill or in need at home or hospital. Please contact Rev. Ken, phone 734189. Join our team: If you can offer some time to help maintain your church building please see or phone our warden Frank McLachlan 734160. CHURCH NEWS As we reflect on this new season of Autumn we have so much to be grateful for, living in this beautiful village and surrounding area. As a harvest hymn reminds us “All good gifts around us are sent from heaven above, so thank the Lord, O thank the Lord for all His love.” Do come and join us to celebrate and give thanks at our Harvest All Age Worship service on Sunday 11 October at 10.30am at St Cuthbert’s. 4 This day is also our annual Gift Day. Following our recent Quinquennial inspection we have an estimated additional £30,000 to raise for general church maintenance. Our ancient church, which is a listed building, has been well cared for over many centuries and is an invaluable village resource. If you feel able to contribute towards these expenses we would be most grateful. Donations can be made in the enclosed envelope and either brought to the Harvest service or given to the Vicar, wardens or member of the congregation. If you are a taxpayer, completing and signing the Gift Aid form will increase your gift to the church by 25%. The November charity coffee morning will be held on Saturday 21 November and the Christmas Fayre will be on Friday 4 December. Both events are in the Village Hall. The Fayre will have craft stalls, local craft makers and special stalls. Further details will be in the November Over Kellet View. John Halsey 5 OVER KELLET NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH We are in a low crime area but we still do have some conventional crime from time to time. Only recently another garden shed in Over Kellet was attacked, presumably with a view to theft of its contents. The local police are very stretched and have not been coming to scenes of crime even when evidence is to hand. Their concerns have been directed more to national issues such as child abuse and terrorism, as set out in the Strategic Policing Requirement issued by the Home Office. Whatever your views about this strategy, it means that it is more important than ever for individuals to prevent crime in the first place. Clive Grunshaw, the elected Police and Crime Commissioner for Lancashire, recently said "Tackling crime is one of my key priorities in my police and crime plan and that is why I am supporting this campaign (a one-month anti-burglary campaign in this county, which ended on 31 August). Prevention is always better than cure and so I think it's essential we inform Lancashire residents of steps they can take to help stop them becoming a victim of such an invasive crime. Lancashire is a safe place to live but we cannot be complacent and we must continue to take action to combat burglary so that everybody can feel safe in their own home.” Mr Grunshaw can be contacted through his website—https://www.lancashire-pcc.gov.uk/Contact/Contact-Us.aspx—or by email at [email protected] Last month I wrote about window alarms which can help you to protect yourself and your property; I still have them all! The alarms, which are free, are particularly effective on kitchen and bathroom windows of terraced cottages and on patio doors. They work by sensing vibration on the glass if a would-be intruder tries to force the window. When activated the siren emits a 120 decibel noise (pretty loud!). The alarms are quite small and easily fitted; they come with instructions, adhesive stickers and batteries. If you would like one, please contact me on 732892. Fraudsters have created a high quality website template advertising flat-screen televisions at below market value (which do not actually exist). Payment is requested by bank transfer which gives no protection to the buyer when the television does not arrive. There is no practical cover for this and little point in reporting such scams. You just have to be careful (even verging on the paranoid!). 1. Bank transfer payments are not protected.

  • Report Of: Meeting Date Councillor Michael Vincent, Planning and Economic Development Portfolio Holder and Marianne Hesketh, Co
    Report of: Meeting Date Councillor Michael Vincent, Planning and Economic Development Portfolio Holder and Cabinet 4 December 2019 Marianne Hesketh, Corporate Director Communities Authorities Monitoring Report 2018-2019 1. Purpose of report 1.1 The purpose of the report is to consider and recommend the content of the Authorities Monitoring Report 2018-2019. 2. Outcomes 2.1 Compliance with Section 113 of the Localism Act 2011 which requires the publication of an Authorities Monitoring Report (AMR). 3. Recommendation/s 3.1 That subject to the inclusion of any minor editorial alterations, the Authorities Monitoring Report 2018-2019 as set out in Appendix 1 be approved by Cabinet and made available for public inspection. 4. Background 4.1 The preparation of Annual Monitoring Reports ceased on 15 January 2012 when section 113 of the Localism Act came into force. This removes the requirement for Annual Monitoring Reports to be made to the Secretary of State. However, councils are still required to prepare reports, now known as 'Authorities' Monitoring Reports' (AMR). The Act requires councils to publish this information direct to the public at least annually in the interests of transparency. 4.2 The AMR is the main mechanism for assessing the performance and effects of the recently adopted Local Plan. It forms a critical evidence document for the new Local Plan for Wyre Council. This is the 15th AMR for Wyre Council and the purpose is therefore as 4.3 follows: To monitor key characteristics of Wyre as a wider contextual setting for Local Plan monitoring; To assess the planning policies of the Adopted Local Plan 2011- 2031 (Adopted February 2019), including their effectiveness, and the impacts they have on the Borough in order to establish a baseline for future monitoring; and To consider progress in terms of preparation of any planning policy documents set out in the Local Development Scheme (LDS) and any ‘real time’ subsequent updates on the council’s website.
