A very warm welcome to whoever God sends to be our next Minister! 8 The Benefice The parishes are situated on gently undulating land north east of Bedford with easy access to the A1, M1, A14 and good rail links to London and the south coast and the north. There is limited public transport in the villages and private transport is a necessity. The three villages are quite different in character although they are all predominantly residential. At present this is a largely agricultural area and although there is no major industry in the villages, there are many small businesses and, with farm diversification, several small industrial estates. There is no GP Surgery in the benefice. Wilden is the most compact of the three villages with a population of 450 and is basically a farming community with a number of retired people. There are working families who commute as far as London and Milton Keynes. Wilden is an attractive residential village where housing is generally in high demand. There is a variety of housing including privately owned and rented accommodation. There is also a pub, a lower school and a thriving farm shop with garden nursery. Victoria Arms, Wilden Ravensden originally comprised of small clusters of farm dwellings which, with post-war infilling, developed into three small hamlets. The communities are predominately residential, apart from the village shop, repair garage, an Indian Restaurant at the crossroads and a pub at Church End. There is also a lower school and again, there is a wide mix of housing from the mobile home park through to substantial detached houses. Most people work in Bedford and there is a significant retired population. Recently a large development on the outskirts of Bedford has added a retirement home and several hundred houses to the parish of Ravensden bringing the population to approximately 1,900. Horse and Jockey, Ravensden Colmworth is a largely agricultural village with approximately 380 residents. There is a significant number of small businesses within the village including a pre-school nursery and a restaurant/small hotel. There is a mix of housing with some council and some Pilgrim housing but the majority are detached private dwellings. A significant number of villagers commute to Cambridge, London and Milton Keynes. The population is an ageing one with plenty of recently retired people to organise clubs and who are actively involved in community projects. Cornfields, Colmworth9 The Buildings St Nicholas Church, Wilden St Nicholas is a fine medieval church which is in good order. The last Quinquennial report did not reveal any major issues. We have a kitchen and a toilet for general use which is suitable for disabled people. The laity play an important role in keeping the churchyard and building in good repair. There is no church hall. All Saints Church, Ravensden All Saints is also a lovely medieval church. A working group continues with repairs to the internal plastering. The roof and structure are in good condition and parishioners maintain the churchyard. The building maintenance is supported by the ‘Friends of All Saints’. St Denys Church, Colmworth St Denys is a 15th Century building with a nationally recognised monument and a spectacular East window. There is a servery and toilet inside the church. Unfortunately the last Quinquennial identified major issues. A ‘Friends of St Denys’ has been established to organise fundraising and to promote the use of the building for social activities. All churchyard maintenance is by laity with a day of action annually to tidy up. There are no other buildings. 10 The Church Family At the present time there are three PCCs each with their own Chairman who meet at least four times a year. Wilden has 10 members, Ravensden 10 and Colmworth 8. There are two churchwardens elected to each Parish and the six meet quarterly or as needed to discuss issues, co-ordinate and bring the Parishes together. Electoral Roll numbers: Wilden=44 Ravensden=25 Colmworth=39. Social Committees arrange fund-raising functions such as Race Nights, Safari Suppers, Harvest Suppers, Quiz Nights, Children’s activities, Teddy Bear Drop, Concerts, Wedding Exhibitions, Flower Festivals, Christmas Tree Exhibition etc. Teddy Bear Drop There is also a Benefice Prayer Group which meets regularly in members’ homes for prayer and Bible study and the group includes members from other denominations. This provides a valuable pastoral care network within each village. There are Baptist chapels in Wilden, Ravensden and Colmworth working together to spread the Gospel.

  • CPC Draft Minutes March 2021
    Appendix 1 Borough Council Report to Parish Councils March 2021 Petition to improve flood defences Over the Christmas period there were worrying floods in the borough and these are becoming a more regular occurrence. Investigations revealed that the current flood action plan was drawn up in September 2015 whilst there was another risk assessment in November 2020 it is unclear to see how it follows from the action plan in 2015. In the 2015 plan there are several actions which are still ongoing, and it is unclear whether they have been completed. Therefore, a petition was started by the Conservative Group to review the causes of the local flooding and seek improvements to the flood defences. It also asks for more action to be taken to increase flood protection in the Borough. You can find more information here: http://chng.it/VYvBwZ8q This petition was accepted by Full Council on Wednesday 24th February and the Council has committed to set up a “water management forum”, to included Councillors, that will facilitate the promotion of good practice in our communities in relation to flood risk. Controversial route 'E' for East West Rail a source of increasing concern for Borough residents The chosen route selected for the East West Rail project - route E - continues to prove controversial and Borough Councillors received a petition this month, signed by over 1600 Bedford residents, objecting to it. The petition was debated at a heated meeting of the Borough Council on 24th February, when a number of residents from parishes in and around the route, put a series of questions to Council Leaders, and calling for the Council to "hold a full public consultation to be followed by a debate at Full Council in respect of the Council's decision to support Route E".

MATTERS ARISING Play Equipment Quotes – PCllr Browning reported that these are on hold for the duration of the lockdown. Average Speed Cameras – BCllr Royden has confirmed that our application will be added to the list for consideration. He explained that they are still extremely rare across the country. The cameras are extremely effective but also very expensive at around £75,000 and the Borough Council receives no funding from the fines produced. He appreciated the offer of financial assistance and this demonstrates the commitment of the local community. However, he explained that the list is growing every year, & there are about 90 site requests across the Borough. This is at a time when the Council is seeking to find £27million cuts not least to cover the cost of the Covid crisis. He was therefore not sure when the next schemes will be affordable. Bereavement - condolences sent. School Nativity Project – grant application declined. SID Risk Assessment – circulated. SID data sharing with Pertenhall & Ravensden – Pertenhall have agreed, Ravensden yet to reply (meeting 19/1/21) 5.
