In This Issue: All the News That Fits: Yarpole Parish News 4 Yarpole Community Shop 6 Parish Footpaths Officers 9 Parish Hall Update 15 Camilla and Dave 17 October 2020 In this issue: All the news that fits: Yarpole Parish News 4 Yarpole Community Shop 6 Parish Footpaths Officers 9 Parish Hall Update 15 Camilla and Dave 17 End of Harvest - Carol Clare Edible mushrooms foraged in Mortimer Forest. Barbara Flaherty Jeanette Kinsey. Brier Art Studio. See p.31 2 Dear Readers, It seems just like yesterday that I was reading Hetty’s upbeat editorial. As I write this editorial I am listening to our Prime Minister explain that the new Covid restrictions for England could last six months. My recollection is that it was only recently that people were being encouraged to return to their place of work. Now we are advised, if we can, to work from home. Pubs, bars, and restaurants must close at 10pm. The rule of 6 has been accorded the force of law. Indoor sports, such as 5-a-side football, have been banned. Wedding celebrations are to be limited to 15 guests. One consolation, if it can be categorised as such, is that funerals can go ahead with up to 30 mourners. As I sit finishing the October edition of The Parishioner my computer tells me the UK has recorded 4,926 new coranvirus cases, the highest daily figure since May. On the positive side Police Chiefs have rejected the PM’s offer of military support. We are living through a perilous period of history. We need to help each other and prepare for the times that lie ahead. This is a responsibility that extends beyond Yarpole. Large numbers of us have friends and family living not just in the UK but across the world. The ability to use social media to communicate with them has become an imperative, not a form of amusement. Better times undoubtedly lie ahead. In the meantime we need to extend the hand of friendship to our friends and family wherever they are. As I wrote this editorial it was announced that people in Scotland are to be banned from visiting other households indoors. By the time you read this editorial will this also be the case in respect of England? We must recognise the importance of maintaining or establishing routes of communication, both family and friendship, that weakens the grip of the Covoid 19 virus.

The meeting received an update on planning developments both at county and nation- al level. Herefordshire Council have started the process of reviewing and updating their Core Strategy, which may eventually necessitate a review of the Yarpole Group Neighbourhood Development Plan. There has also been a White Paper consultation on “Planning for the Future” and the Parish Council agreed to respond to this, and write to the local MP, to ask that the position of community neighbourhood develop- ment plans in any new planning system be defended and secured. An update on the consultation over the proposed yellow line scheme was noted at the meeting. ADL (the traffic consultants working for Herefordshire Council) received an overwhelming majority of objections to the proposed scheme during the Formal Consultation process (22 out of 24 responses were objections), and will be proceed- ing to write an Objection Report to the Council recommending that the scheme be ceased as a result of this. Concerns about parking at the junctions in the area, and how this can cause dangerous obstructions to traffic, have been raised at Parish Council meetings by residents dating back to 2009. The Parish Council supported the yellow line scheme as a proportionate response to address the problem, knowing that the scheme would go through a full public consultation so that residents would have the opportunity to have their say on the proposals before any scheme could be final- ised (as noted in my article in the April Parishioner). The Parish Council were con- tent that as a result of the public consultation the proposed scheme would not pro- ceed. The Community Field working group provided an update on their initial meeting with Red Kite, the landscape consultants who will be developing plans for the field based on the results of the community survey, and it was agreed that Battlefield be asked to undertake the topographical survey of the field which is required for the plans. The resignation of the Footpath Officer was noted, and thanks recorded to Peter Greer who has agreed to step back into the role on a temporary basis until March 2021. The Parish Council will be looking to recruit a team to take on the role – anyone interested in joining the team, please get in contact (and watch out for the posters around the village about the role). 4 A full and wide-ranging discussion was held around the subjects of Parish Council agendas and how the Parish Council can raise awareness of its work across the Parish. A resident had raised concern that people were not aware of what was being discussed at Parish Coun- cil meetings, and it was reiterated that agendas are made available online and on notice boards and clearly state items to be discussed, and that residents are always welcome to attend meetings and raise issues. I also do my best to keep residents informed through these articles in The Parishioner, in which I aim to summarise the main items discussed at the most recent meeting. Parish Council agendas are required to include all items for dis- cussion and be published 3 working days in advance of meetings. They cannot be pub- lished any earlier than this – as items (particularly planning) often come through at the last minute – and if it’s not on the agenda, it can’t be discussed. I’ve also recently started post- ing notice of PC meetings on the Yarpole Community Facebook page – and it was suggest- ed that, as my Parishioner article has a print deadline on the 10th of the month (so before draft minutes are normally produced) – I look to put this article on the Parish Council web- site – and link to this on Facebook – so there is a slightly quicker availability of infor- mation. Another resident has also suggested that I could use email circulation to send out the PC agenda when it is ready. You can sign up to receive news items via email from the Parish Council on the Parish Council website, and I will start using this facility for anyone interested. If you go to the front page of the website – on the right hand side of the page there is a box where you can enter your email address to receive news updates from the Council. I am aiming to put a news item out as soon as the Parish Council agenda is ready – so if you want to receive this update straight to your email – please sign up. If you’re particularly interested in planning applications in the parish – you can also receive planning updates on relevant applications direct from Herefordshire Council via email. Visit https:// www.herefordshire.gov.uk/planning-services/planning-lists-notices/2 and follow the link to enter your email address. The next meeting of the Parish Council will be held on Tuesday 6th October. Information on whether these will be held on Zoom or at the village hall will be posted on the agendas and Parish Council website. All Parish Council information and minutes can be found at www.yarpolegroupparishcouncil.org.uk. Residents are welcome to attend meetings and time is always allowed at the start of the meeting for issues to be raised.

They Always Drive Past Our Little Emporium But little do they know, That whilst many have experienced a moratorium We have continued with the show! Challenged with starting this month’s missive with the word “Tadpole” (don’t ask) my brother stepped up with an excellent acrostic for the first line - as my attempt was lamentable - and so this months offering begins! Many villagers are currently making and preserving the various fruits and vege- tables of the season in jams, jars and pickles and so pectin and preserving sugar have joined our shelves. We do still stock a good range of the same too - so if time and energy are against you you can always enjoy some straight from the shelf! We have received many kind donations of local produce for our shop as the earth has been plentiful in her yield this year.

For generations animal husbandry and the farming of fruit, potatoes and hops have lent its lowland plain a rural charm and colour which vies for attention with the more dramatic uplands and gorges of the catchment periphery. Little wonder that much of the valley is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural beauty, or that its towns and villages swell with visitors during the spring and summer.

A drone is a piece of technology that flies in the air and you operate it from a remote controller. These days, as technology has progressed, it is unusual to find a drone without an inbuilt camera of some sort. Drones are getting cheaper and better, meaning they can almost fly themselves with intelligent flight functions such as ‘follow me’ and ‘return to home’ modes, making flying much easier. Drones have in the past been misused meaning regulations apply to owning one. You must have a licence to fly a drone and can only fly one under 250g in confined spaces which is what we had to do to take these pictures! Thanks to Julian and Challis Stokes for letting me take this photo from their garden to get this view of the church which has never been seen before.

  • Yarpole Community Hub Questionnaire March 2021 SUMMARY of FINDINGS
    Yarpole Community Hub Questionnaire March 2021 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS 1 Contents Demographics of the Yarpole Parish Background to the survey Analysis: About you Facility use The Community Shop The Gallery Café The Church The Parish Hall Volunteering Communication 2 Demographics of the Yarpole Parishes Yarpole Group of Parishes comprises of the two parishes of Croft with Yarpole and Lucton, and the hamlets of Bircher, Bicton and Cockgate. We are located mid-way between the market towns of Leominster and Ludlow (approximately 6 miles away). Hereford, the county town, lies some 18 miles to the south. The parish had a population of 787 in 2011. Our parish’s demographics reflect those of the wider County of Herefordshire – historically with an ageing population and lower average earnings than England and Wales as a whole. (In 2011, 33% of the population were aged 60 and over, compared to 18% nationally and at around £450 per week, average wages in the county are 13% lower than across the West Midlands and 18% lower than for England.) Our community falls within 5% of the most deprived areas of the UK in terms of isolation and geographical barriers to services (e.g. distance to schools, GPs, shops, etc.) and within the most deprived 7.5% in terms of living environment (e.g. condition of housing, availability of heating). As local services have decreased and amenities closed down around the country, it increasingly falls to rural communities to provide facilities, activities and services, which would not otherwise be available. We are proud that our community takes a proactive stance to improving our shared spaces.

There have been some minor changes to the allocation sites and settlement boundaries for Bircher and Yarpole. These changes were as a result of the representations to the draft consultation on the plan itself rather than the response to the HRA report consultation. However there were no changes to the overall vision and objectives of the existing planning policies. 2.0 Screening of draft NDP 2.1 Regulation 102 of the Habitats Regulations 2010 requires that a Screening Assessment be undertaken, in order to identify the ‘likely significant effects’ of an NDP.
