Contact Details The foundations of this Community Plan are the responses from residents of Chorleywood to a questionnaire circulated to every household in the Parish. A Committee comprising representatives of the main community organisations within Chorleywood has analysed these responses and compiled this report. The main issues and concerns highlighted by residents are: • Protection of our open spaces and green environment • Lack of adequate parking facilities in the shopping area • Lack of diversity of shops and businesses in the village • Üóèèçìñê÷õäĦæòñïòæäïõòäçö • Öäìñ÷äìñìñêèģèæ÷ìùèóïäññìñêæòñ÷õòïöæòñöìçèõìñê the local demographics. • Senior school admissions policies Ýëìöçòæøðèñ÷öè÷öòø÷öóèæìĤæ÷òóìæö÷òåèìñùèö÷ìêä÷èçäñç allocates them to local organisations who have agreed to accept responsibility for follow-through. A Community Plan is a document setting out achievable aims and visions for the future of a community, based upon the views of its residents gathered through survey, research and community participation. The Localism Act 2011 gave communities a greater say in the development of their area. In October 2013, the Parish Council decided to use the powers of the Localism Act along with wider-reaching aims and objectives covering other aspects of community life, to produce a Community Plan and Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP) for Chorleywood. A Steering Group, led by the Parish Council, was formed from a large number of community-interest groups.

O Watford R D L E P PARISH MAGAZINE WEST WATFORD FREE CHURCH (Baptist) Price ‘Church opposite the shops’ 60p Tolpits Lane, Watford 1 A Joyful Christmas and Peaceful New Year to all our readers, advertisers & contributors 2 A Pastoral Letter....... Dear Friends Are you afraid of the dark? Many of us find it hard to sleep or to be in the dark. Fear of the dark is not only restricted to the children. Most of us would sensibly avoid certain places in the dark, for fear of what, or who might be lurking there. I am always reminded of the breath-taking moments at the beginning of the Advent service in our Churches each year, when every light is extinguished. The darkness closes around you, isolating you from many other people around you, and plunging you into a void. You are conscious of the fears and terrors of the dark, until one tiny candle is lit at the door. That flame is enough to restore hope and security. Soon others are lit, until the whole Church building blazes with light. The service, “From Darkness to Light” is symbolic of what we celebrate at Christmas time, the coming of Jesus Christ, the Light of the World to cast away darkness. Isaiah many years ago proclaimed God’s word and said: The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who lived in a land of deep darkness on these lights have shined.

  • Carpenders Park and South Oxhey (Again Watch for Details)
    CPSO METHODIST CHURCH NEWSLETTER Lent/Easter 2020 Minister’s Letter – Journey into Lent Our Lent journey begins! We make our way with Jesus towards Jerusalem and the Cross. This year we are exploring that journey and the places en-route through our Lent Group “Places on the Way”. We are stopping off at a village wedding in Cana, climbing new heights at the mount of Transfiguration, finishing up at the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem as Jesus makes his way to Golgotha. We will be exploring what the journey meant to Jesus and the journey we make this Lent. (See later in the newsletter for details) Following on from the soap cross, this Lent I am asking for you to make pom- poms – brown wool pom-poms of various sizes and shades of brown. Make as many as you can during the six weeks of Lent and then join the team putting the cross together. (More information to follow) Maundy Thursday we are still going to gather for a shared meal and worship in the small hall at Bushey and Oxhey Church but this year it will be a ‘bring & share’ supper (details to follow). Finally, Good Friday, as churches together in Bushey and Oxhey, this year we are trying something slightly different. During Passiontide you will be asked to take some purple ribbons and tie them in prominent places (purple being a symbol of the passion). We will gather outside St. Andrews at 9.30am for a short act of worship before walking (or driving) down to the small park opposite St Peter’s for another short reflection.
