Combined-Parishes-Profile-Final-2 Introduction to Profile From the Vicar of St Andrew’s Biggleswade and Rural Dean of Biggleswade. Thank you for your interest in the position of Associate Priest. This is a newly created position where it is envisaged that the Vicar of Biggleswade will also accept responsibility as priest-in-charge of the rural parishes of Dunton, Wrestlingworth and Eyeworth working collaboratively with the appointed priest. We are seeking a prayerful and reflective colleague and team member who welcomes exciting opportunities and challenges. The parishes are distinct in character, but they are all excited at the prospect of working supportively with a new Associate Priest. The person appointed will need to develop and communicate a vision as to how the parishes can best work together to share God’s love. It is envisaged that the Associate Priest will spend 0.5 of their time in three adjacent rural communities; and the remainder of their ministry just south west in the rapidly growing parish of Biggleswade, a traditional market town expanding at an exponential rate as new residential developments are established. It is anticipated that modern 4-bedroomed accommodation will be available in the village of Dunton. A willingness to work with all ages, and participation in a range of worship styles is essential, as is enthusiasm to explore new ways of ‘being church’ within our neighbourhoods. We hope the successful candidate will be happy to provide a visible presence in each of the parishes and encourage an openness to embrace change. A sense of humour would be helpful, as would a willingness to be vulnerable and a preparedness to take risks. Our parishes enjoy excellent access to road and rail communications: we are located some 15 miles south west of Cambridge and central London may be reached in approximately 40 minutes by train from Biggleswade. The area is well served by a number of colleges, schools and nurseries – many with 'outstanding' OFSTED reports and with close links to our churches. Guy Revd Guy C Scott Contents 1.

Contact Officer: Paul Salmon [email protected] Public/Exempt: Public Wards Affected: Potton Function of: Council CORPORATE IMPLICATIONS Council Priorities: The petition is in relation to the safe and efficient use of the highway network Financial: None from this report Legal: None from this report Risk Management: None from this report Staffing (including Trades Unions): None from this report Equalities/Human Rights: None from this report Community Safety: None from this report Sustainability: None from this report Budget and Delivery: Estimated cost: n/a Budget: n/a Expected delivery: n/a Background and Information 1. A petition has been received, signed by 41 people, requesting the Council to lower the existing 40mph speed limit to 30mph in Eyeworth in line with Central Government guidance. 2. Speed limit advice issued by the Department for Transport does suggest that local authorities should treat 30mph as the default speed limit for villages. For the most part, Central Bedfordshire Council has adopted that principle, but we have to consider the individual circumstances to determine if a 30mph speed limit is reasonable and there will be a reasonable level of compliance.

We have developed a range of services to facilitate this mission based upon our member's feedback. Our members told us that the options available for autistic adults without a learning difficulty can be very limited, as they often do not qualify for support. In response, Autism Bedfordshire began to develop a range of services for autistic adults in Bedfordshire who are at risk of social isolation but do not qualify for statutory support. Since then we have continued to grow and adapt to an increasing demand yet our vision has remained the same: to empower autistic adults across Bedfordshire. are run across the county for able autistic adults, these EVENING groups are supported by at least twMo EmMemPHbeISrs SoOf tLhUeT aIOduNltS services staff team. The groups meet regularly at the same venue enjoying a range of leisure activities that the group SOCIAL has planned to do.
