Our churches will be very busy! During Lent we have travelled with Jesus, following the accounts of his work in our Gospels, hearing the words he spoke, sharing in the joy of the disciples and their despair on Good Friday. The Cross casts its shadow on the last days of Jesus life, and he is laid to rest in a tomb guarded by soldiers. Then Easter Day dawns, we see the empty tomb, and our Alleluias ring out, “Christ is risen. He is risen indeed” Peter Millar expresses the wonder and mystery of the resurrection in his poem, The Invitation of Easter: And across our beautiful, evolving world, another Easter dawns, tenderly inviting us to ponder upon wider truths and alternative visions.

Pembridge Parish has undertaken to prepare an NDP and this process has been subject to environmental appraisal pursuant to the SEA Directive. Pembridge Parish is located about midway between Leominster and Kington on the A44. The draft Pembridge NDP includes 17 objectives and it is intended that these objectives will be delivered by 26 criteria based planning policies. There are 7 site allocations are proposed here. The environmental appraisal of the Pembridge NDP has been undertaken in line with the Environmental Assessment of Plan and Programmes Regulations 2004. Stage A of the SEA process involved Scoping and Stage B provided a review and analysis of the NDP.

  • ELECTORAL REVIEW of HEREFORDSHIRE
    22 November 2012 Review Officer (Herefordshire) LGBCE, Layden House, 76-86 Turnmill Street, London EC1M 5LG Dear Sir ELECTORAL REVIEW of HEREFORDSHIRE I support the Commission’s plan for a 53 member council made up of single member wards, and hope the Commission will resist any moves to make way for any multi- member wards. There were some gremlins however in your report – most notably mis- reading of compass bearings! Eardisley is firmly located in the west, whereas Colwall is the east (page 15), and Fownhope is east of Hereford (page 17). But the Commission is to be congratulated on steering through a workable solution despite all the constraints imposed both by the regulations and the socio-political geography of Herefordshire. There does seem to be some problem with Holmer parish which has been included within adjacent areas of Hereford city without making this clear. This seems certain to meet with justified resistance from residents of Holmer parish. Otherwise I support the thrust of proposals for warding within Hereford city, as well as those for Ledbury and Leominster, and am content with the proposals for Ross on Wye. I support the bulk of the Commission’s proposals in rural areas but have some suggestions below which better match community links. First some suggestions for change of name of proposed rural wards LGBCE Nov 2012 comment preferred name Burghill long straggly ward from outskirts of Queenswood Leominster to Hereford Bishops Frome potential confusion with other communities Cradley within Frome valley which aren’t is this ward – prefer name of main parish in the ward Walford prefer current name which implies links Kerne Bridge across River Wye Ashperton Frome valley Clehonger name Madley as more central parish Madley & Clehonger Kimbolton Kimbolton & Brimfield Colwall The Commission has suggested that Mathon be added to Colwall but Colwall ward is already large enough and Mathon has stronger ties with Cradley so inclusion with Bishop’s Frome, renamed Cradley , would produce slightly more balanced electorates.

Ed (hons) Friday 22nd May 2020 Dear Parent/Carer, As Chairs of Governors of the schools in the Herefordshire Marches Federation of Academies we are writing to you today to communicate our shared response to the government’s aim for schools in England to begin to reopen on June 1st. You will by now have received a letter from Peter Box or Maggi Newton outlining the plans for reopening the nine HMFA schools and stating clearly the criteria for reopening. They have our full support as governors for this approach. It has been a challenging time for us all: for the children, for you as parents and carers and for staff in schools. We as governors have been pleased and encouraged at the school communities’ positive response to the challenges and we thank you all for your support throughout the past months. We are proud that the schools within the federation have worked so well together to provide both for children of key workers and for children being home schooled. Staff have continued to plan and deliver education for all children; in school, online and over the phone. We appreciate the positive feedback from parents regarding teachers’ support for pupils throughout the pandemic. On May 10th the government announced that it wanted schools to prepare for partial reopening, ideally from June 1st. Since that time the HMFA leadership team have been considering how this might be possible in each school.
