COTSWOLD TIMES | 11 Sir Harry (Henry) Vane Harry Vane was a clever and well-educated graduate of Magdalen Hall, Oxford who should have had a long and distinguished career. Returning from a diplomatic tour of 1613-1662 Europe after graduation he was appointed to the Royal Court and then Secretary of State to the King. He objected to the policies of Archbishop Laud and requested leave to visit Tim Norris shares the history of the America with the Puritan migration. His Diplomatic skills earned him an appointment as portraits in St Edwards Hall in Stow Governor of Massachusetts at the age of 20. On return 3 years later he was promoted to Treasurer of the Navy, re-organising it so well that it finally, under Admiral Blake, overpowered the Dutch. Knighted in 1640, he entered Parliament as MP for Hull. His responsibilities with the Navy included the collection on the unpopular Ship Tax and he formed associations with John Hampden, John Pym and others who opposed it. He leaked papers to them about the Earl of Strafford’s intent to use the Irish army to help subjugate England and supported the bill of attainder to have him executed. He also played a major role in the reform of the Church, and was a supporter of Parliament during the subsequent Civil War. Following the death of John Pym in 1643 he became one of the leaders of Parliament. His proposal to establish a government without a King was supported by Oliver Cromwell, whom he assisted later in the formation of the New Model Army. He was acknowledged as the “ leading architect of Parliament’s victory over the King”. During the King’s captivity he attempted to negotiate a treaty and was against the regicide. Despite this he was sent to trial for treason after the restoration in 1662, where he conducted such a skilful defence that Charles II declared he was “too dangerous a man to let live”. Charles was persuaded to grant him the “gentleman’s death” of beheading rather than hanging. Samuel Pepys observed the occasion and remarked on the courage and dignity he showed on the scaffold. Harry Vane’s achievements during a short career were extensive and John Milton wrote a eulogy to him, beginning:- “ Vane, young in years, but in sage counsel old,” Once again, we were so foolish as to kill one of our wisest men.
Spring is arriving (hurrah!)... and as we see the magic of nature showing us new beginnings, I believe it is a great reminder of the power of Gratitude. How nice to remember that spring is the season when a particular part of the Earth is shifting from being angled away from the sun to being angled toward the sun. Don’t we all just feel that little bit happier and brighter when the sun is out? Wherever we look during this beautiful season, there is an opportunity to see magic. Popular favorites are snowdrops popping through with their graceful white heads and the glorious yellow trumpets of the cheerful daffodil. Spring, is the perfect time to refresh our attitude and develop some gratitude. The (slightly) older I get, the more I have learnt that gratitude sits at the heart of who I am. The more grateful I am, the more I seem to attract and the happier I genuinely feel. A favorite quote of mine helped me develop gratitude; What a completely sobering thought, that we only get to keep around us tomorrow what we have shown gratitude for today. Can you imagine if that were true how quickly we would start to say thank you? How much we would make the time to appreciate and show gratitude for what we actually have right now rather than all the things we want. You might be thinking well how do I show more gratitude? How can I increase my gratitude? Let me share some simple tips that have worked in my experience. • Develop more gratitude; spend some time every day being grateful. Find a time that’s right for you. Is it first thing in the morning when you wake, last thing at night when you are in bed, after school drop off, as you are driving or walking, over a mid-morning cup of tea? • Start with clear gratitude; “I give thanks for…” “I’m so very grateful for…” “Thank you for…” “I’m thankful for…” • Start small; begin with 5 things you are grateful for each day; Who do you appreciate in your life? What strengths do you have that you are grateful for? What can you see that is beautiful around you? What are you thankful for about your body, your mind, your wellness? What has made you happy today? • Write it or say it; think about what works best for you. If you like to write things down then keep a gratitude journal. Date the page and write your gratitude points for that day. If you like to say it then in your mind say what you are grateful for in that chosen moment of time and reflection.

I feel very proud of all that they have achieved, and to have been part of the extraordinary unfolding story of the our beautiful 14-mile Cheltenham Racecourse to Broadway railway.

I made a submission to Gloucestershire County Council (which It was heartening to attend a drop in session of the is responsible for highways) to support a proposal to extend the Neighbourhood Plan Group held at the Redesdale Hall on 2nd footpath along Todenham Road to the ‘Bovis’ site (the Avenue). February; this was a slick example of how to effectively publicise This would seek to address the concerns of residents there, and present a town event and it was helpful to listen to locals and and drivers using the Todenham Road, aware of the risks to get a feel for issues that are at the forefront of residents’ minds. pedestrians. A feasibility study will determine the practicability and Congratulations to Chairman Sam Ayton-Hill and her team on cost of this, and also of providing a foot/cycle bridge alongside their first Neighbourhood Plan public consultation, there will be the existing listed A429 railway bridge to provide a complete safe further opportunities for residents to get involved over the coming pedestrian/cycle route into Moreton town centre. months in this transparent process.
An outline planning application 19/00086/out has been made to I have received communications from residents questioning build 67 houses on the ‘Polo Field’ site on Evenlode Road. This Affordable Housing Contributions via Section 106 and would site was a late addition to the CDC Emerging Local Plan which like to clarify that of the major permissions granted in the town did not please me. Objections were made at the Public Enquiry between 2011 and 2014, a total of 726 homes were scheduled (mainly relating to access concerns) but the Planning Inspector to be built with a 50% affordable allocation generating 363 still approved it. The Evenlode Road is the most congested road- AFFORDABLE HOMES FOR MORETON. Since 2015 till the space in the town because its residents there have only limited present day, there have been two largish developments permitted, parking. An extra 67 households will add to the pressure on the the Old Hospital Site, which due to an existing building being road which also has to accommodate vehicles feeding in from brought back into use was exempt from providing affordable Wellington Road, Evenlode Gardens, Croft Holm, Cotsmore Close housing, and the second a Care Home to the rear of Aldi which and also lorries from the GCC highways depot. In my view some was also exempt from affordable housing provision due to its additional mitigation is needed which could include, for example, classification. the widening of the road outside ‘Cornish Houses’ to provide additional parking capacity and thus facilitate the passage of GCC District: Cabinet has announced that a site at Kemble has been gritting/road maintenance vehicles and other traffic. I have asked identified to build ‘8 truly affordable homes’ on District Council that this application be determined by the full CDC Planning owned land. This is an exciting concept and it would be good to Committee which will give objectors (and myself) the opportunity see something like this in Moreton, maybe via a small percentage to submit their input in a transparent public setting. The Town of the proposed development site of 67 units at Evenlode Road Council is convening an Extraordinary meeting to consider this on land owned by Gloucestershire County Council. Perhaps this application at 6.30 pm on Monday 25th February in the Redesdale is something Moreton in Marsh Town Council could lobby for in its Hall. Notwithstanding this I would still urge concerned residents S106 negotiations. to provide their comments directly to the CDC planners either by writing in or by utilising the planning portal on www.cotswold.gov. I was encouraged to see the proposed development on Evenlode uk. Road for 67 houses was referred to an Extraordinary Town During the month the town council held two meetings one of Council meeting at the Redesdale Hall on 25th February. The which was in camera to discuss another opportunity to establish town’s residents need to have these large planning applications an additional car park in the town. Details of this proposal have highlighted (which was not the case with the Old Hospital not been revealed and remain secret. The town council also met Site or the Care Home proposal behind Aldi last year). Clear with agents of the Diocese regarding the possibility of establishing communication is key on these large proposed developments if a car park on the Glebe land.

Cllr. Nigel Moor (our County Councillor) and myself, and they were ‘encouraged’ to move ahead soon to address the increasing Parking. It was encouraging to hear Town Council announce that congestion and parking problems in the town centre. I believe they are supporting the principle of a car park site brought forward additional parking is vital if we are to keep our town centre by developers; it would be helpful to know where it is! However, vibrant and also ensure that our train station becomes the sole this does indicate that a solution cannot be far off with two intermediate stop for the planned express trains to run hourly non- potential options to evaluate. Once a site has been decided upon stop between the new Worcester Parkway Station and Oxford/ there really can be little delay in delivering a car park for the town. London. What is crucial is there must be a period of free parking available to ensure the vitality and sustainability of the town’s commercial Finally, I was pleased to attend the ‘Consultation Event’ held by centre. the Neighbourhood Planning Group on Saturday 2nd February. This was well attended and I was really impressed by the NPG Cotswold District Council will hold a Full Council meeting on 26th preparations.

The film traces the meteoric rise of the band through their iconic songs and revolutionary sound.

Having suffered greatly without the collaboration of Queen, Freddie manages to reunite with his bandmates just in time for Live Aid. The Children’s Act: In the midst of a marital crisis, a High Court judge must decide if she should order a life-saving blood transfusion for a teen with cancer despite his family’s refusal to accept medical treatment for religious reasons.
