100706 RABI SUMMER EDITION New.Indd .. news R A B I SUMMER 2015 THE MAGAZINE OF THE ROYAL AGRICULTURAL BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION Supporting farming families www.rabi.org.uk Great British Beef Week Pages 6-7 £6m invested in Manson House Pages 10-11 FromFrom the the chairman chairman It’s been a busy year..... We are probably best known for supporting elderly people - very often, people with no families and no one to help them. However, much more of our work now revolves around helping people get what they are entitled to from the benefits system. It never fails to amaze me the stories coming Awards time through our system. Sometimes, you think a bad situation might be avoided by better management but in the majority of cases sheer at the AGM bad luck is the key cause of hardship. Pages 4&5 Manson House in Suffolk is in the final stages of a major renovation that has cost £6 million. The flats in the grounds are spectacular and the new wing is tremendous too. It’s fair to say the redevelopment has been a challenge. There have been lots of issues with the building work, because we’ve uncovered things that were covered up long ago, but the final results are going to make everything worthwhile. Manson House and Beaufort House, our other residential home in Burnham-on-Sea, are certainly Sports star’s two very special places. Beaufort House is a flagship for the charity and testimonial the average age of residents has gone up from Page 14 85 to 94 in the past 10 years. That’s good, but it does change the way we work when people become less able to move around. When Manson is fully up and running I think we will see a similar pattern. There will be a formal reopening of Manson in July and it’s going to be a fabulous facility. Finally, the ‘meet the chairman’ tour of G’s in Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution Ely was fascinating and it was good to catch up We are a welfare charity that helps farming people in with so many dedicated committee members. financial difficulty.

  • Coordinating New Approaches to Watercourse Management in Rural Catchments Is There a Case for a New Internal Drainage Board in Oxfordshire?
    Coordinating New Approaches to Watercourse Management in Rural Catchments Is there a Case for a New Internal Drainage Board in Oxfordshire? National Farmers Union South East May 2015 Page 1 NFU Report Abstract – Key Messages This report is the culmination of a 6-month study, presenting the results of a series of questionnaires, interviews and stakeholder engagement events focussing on the River Ray (Oxfordshire); a small rural catchment with frequent rural flooding problems. Our study indicates that there is already a strong commitment to maintenance spending in the River Ray catchment and that higher levels of maintenance spending are associated with more favourable attitudes towards environmental objectives (i.e. entry into agri-environment schemes, favouring sediment control and habitat creation). This indicates that enabling watercourse maintenance may also generate more positive environmental outcomes in rural catchments. Our data suggest that there is financial justification for creating a formalised management group as there is a substantial level of cumulative spending power within the catchment that could achieve outcomes that are not possible for individual holdings or landowners. We estimate a potential cumulative contribution from farmland in this catchment of up to £221,173 per year for watercourse maintenance. This figure excludes potential contributions from urban areas, which could be of a similar magnitude if raised through a drainage levy. The study has also shown that there is willingness to participate in a collaborative scheme, such as the creation of local management groups or the creation of a new internal drainage board. The creation of two new management groups in Oxfordshire during this project, as well as several already in existence demonstrate the willingness of local communities to come together to manage flood risk issues.

  • Dronfield Neighbourhood Plan: Submission Draft Dronfield Civic Society Supports the Dronfield Neighbourhood Plan. It Is Well-P
    Dronfield Neighbourhood Plan: Submission Draft Dronfield Civic Society supports the Dronfield Neighbourhood Plan. It is well-presented, clear and easy to read and understand. It accurately represents the views of residents gathered through a comprehensive, inclusive engagement process. Objectives and Policies are clear, well-defined and well-related to the main issues and views of residents. The Civic Society, which has a planning remit within its constitution, was invited to assist during the early stages of the plan process and made particular contribution to the chapter about heritage. The Aims and Objectives, set out on page 8 of the Plan, are supported. We support the emphasis on protecting and, wherever possible, enhancing Dronfield's green and open spaces, conserving Dronfield’s identity and celebrating the town's heritage. We feel that all these areas are compromised by the current iteration of the NED Local Plan. Whilst the DNP was criticised at the earlier consultation for non-compliance with the strategic policies in the NED LP, the findings in the Interim Report on the NED LP by Planning Inspector Sarah Housden, have demonstrated that the DNP more accurately represents what she views as being appropriate for Dronfield. This relates to policies about Green Belt, the number of houses and size of housing developments and the Callywhite Lane Extension or Regeneration Area. We agree with the DNP in supporting the continued designation of the countryside surrounding the town of Dronfield as Green Belt. This recognises the importance of landscape character and local distinctiveness. It aligns with what residents want and value and it concurs with the view of Planning Inspector.
