It gives us something to hold on to. We are surrounded by creation with signs of things that die and come back to life, and that’s a wonderful metaphor of hope.” A Chrisan funeral recalls the resurrecon hope that Jesus Christ offered to his church at the first Easter: the wonderful news that there is life beyond death in the presence of God, free from fear and pain. Eternal life gives hope of Gods wonderful, loving acceptance, joyful freedom and peace of mind, and unity with those who have gone before us. The Chrisan understanding of what it means to be human comes from the Bible. The Bible teaches that every person has been uniquely created with a physical body, a conscious mind [the brain] and, connecng everything together, a spirit, or soul. Therefore each one of us is more than a physical The image is of ‘Memory stones’ made by Martha, body of skin, bones and brain.

  • HBBC Response to Regulation 14 Pre-Submission Draft Witherley
    Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council Consultation response to the draft Witherley Neighbourhood Plan - Pre-Submission (Regulation 14) Thank you for consulting Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council on the Regulation 14 Pre- Submission draft Witherley Neighbourhood Plan. Neighbourhood plans are not required to meet the tests of soundness which local plans and other development plan documents must meet. Instead, in order for them to be able to be put to referendum, they must meet the ‘basic conditions’ set out in paragraph 8(2) of Schedule 4B to the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. Those relevant to neighbourhood plans are as follows: (a). having regard to national policies and advice contained in guidance issued by the Secretary of State it is appropriate to make the order (or neighbourhood plan). (d). the making of the order (or neighbourhood plan) contributes to the achievement of sustainable development. (e). the making of the order (or neighbourhood plan) is in general conformity with the strategic policies contained in the development plan for the area of the authority (or any part of that area). (f). the making of the order (or neighbourhood plan) does not breach, and is otherwise compatible with, EU obligations. (g). prescribed conditions are met in relation to the Order (or plan) and prescribed matters have been complied with in connection with the proposal for the order (or neighbourhood plan). Points (f) and (g) above relate to certain obligations which plans must adhere to, primarily in relation to habitats and environmental impacts. Some plans require a Strategic Environmental Assessment and/or a Habitat Regulations Assessment.

  • Hinckley and Bosworth
    HINCKLEY & BOSWORTH DISTRICT PROFILE JANUARY 2010 JSNA District Level Report JSNA findings for Hinckley and Bosworth 1. Demography In 2007 there were an estimated 104,400 people resident in Hinckley and Bosworth. 95% of the population is white British and 2% is White Other. Hinckley and Bosworth is affected by socio-economic deprivation with 7.1% of the population living in neighbourhoods that have been classified as deprived nationally (4th quintile). However, there are no residents within the most deprived quintile within this district. Whilst this is similar to the value for Leicestershire it is well below the national average of 20% of people. Priority Neighbourhoods Hinckley and Bosworth has five priority neighbourhoods, Earl Shilton, Barwell, Hinckley, Burbage and Bagworth. Maps of the priority neighbourhoods are available on the Leicestershire Statistics and Research Online website: http://www.lsr-online.org/reports/leicestershire_laa_priority_neighbourhoods 2. Housing and accommodation needs Hinckley and Bosworth is a mostly rural area. The main settlements, Hinckley, Barwell, and Earl Shilton, are fairly different . Using Output Area Classifications to gain a general view suggests that Hinckley contains more higher income households and Earl Shilton is relatively more working class, but these are generalisations and cover a substantial variety. Most of the children of school age in the main settlements are White British. The largest ethnic minority groups are ‘Other White’ and ‘Asian/British Indian’. Properties in the main settlements are mainly owner occupied 3 bed houses, though there are significant numbers of both 2 bed flats and houses. There is very little private rented property (though this is likely to have increased since 2001) throughout the borough.
