Parish of Walford Election – Your New Council

The combined Council Elections were held on Thursday 5th May, when the Public voted for their new Parish Councillors and Ward Councillor at Walford Village Hall.

Please take the opportunity to come to the Parish Council meetings, which are held once a month – usually on the second Wednesday of each month at either Walford or Bishopswood Village Hall. Our new Community Officer is also organising quarterly ‘Meet the Councillors’ sessions; the dates and locations for these will be published in this and subsequent Newsletters.

Notices of meetings are always posted on the 8 Parish notice boards 3 clear working days before each meeting and a list of meeting dates, times and locations is included at the end of this newsletter. 2 Meet Your New Council for 2011 - 2015

AONB Staff and Volunteers dressed for the recent 40th birthday Around 75% of Walford parish lies Georgian event in Ross within the boundary of the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The area was designated in 1971 and so this year is the 40th anniversary of its establishment.

During this 40th birthday year a special series of 4 free celebration events has been arranged focussing on the themes of hidden industry, viewpoints, river connections and hill 'Lord Nelson and his entourage On the Way to the Wye' forts. Events at Tintern and Symonds Yat took place in April and May and the 3rd event, ‘On the Way to the Wye’, was recently held in Ross, the only town within the WVAONB area. This celebrated the Georgian era during which Ross-on-Wye emerged as the gateway to the Wye Valley and the Wye Tour became an important tourist attraction. Many visitors, including artists, poets and writers, came to the town and surrounding area and the Picturesque movement began. The final event in the series entitled ‘Mediaeval Mayhem’ will be held at Chepstow Castle on 18th September The Wye Valley AONB unit in Monmouth is responsible for the administration of the AONB and it arranges events and walks in the AONB area which are advertised in its ‘Wye So Special’ leaflet and ‘Picturesque’ Newsletter. In addition publications are regularly issued giving information about the attractions and self guided walks within the area. The most recently published, ‘Walk this Wye’, describes a selection of 12 walks accessible by public transport

If you’re interested you can volunteer to help the unit with the conservation tasks or events and activities regularly held each year throughout the AONB area

Further information about the WVAONB, the events, activities and volunteering can be obtained by contacting the WVAONB Administration Officer on: Tel: 01600 713977 Or on the Website: www.wyevalleyaonb.org.uk

Woodland Catherine Murray 6 A report from our new Rights of Way officer

As the newly appointed Rights of Way Officer for Walford, I would firstly like to thank Mike Downey for his years of hard work on the never ending cycle of maintenance and clearance. I have held this post in the past, and was happy to take up the reins again when Michael stood down, as I have a working knowledge of much of the network within the Parish. However, I have a full time job and have limited time available to check our Rights of Way, especially footpaths on the 'flatlands' and Chase Hill, between our 'southern hills' and the Ross town network. Within Walford we have approximately 25.7 miles of Rights of Way. With such an extensive network I would be very grateful for any help that is on offer.. If you walk or ride in our Parish, & feel that a path or track is becoming overgrown or blocked, PLEASE report it, either directly to me, or through our Parish Clerk. If it is a definitive Right of Way, then it is our duty to keep it open. However, if you are willing, it would be very much appreciated if individuals trim the occasional overhanging bramble, or suchlike, as they pass. It all helps. Presently we have ongoing funding to help with maintenance from Hereford Council, in an agreement called The Parish Paths Partnership. This money is not meant to be used to cut hedges that overhang Rights of Way - this is the landowner's responsibility in most cases, and the co-operation of landowners within the Parish is essential and much appreciated. Hedges grow outwards very quickly!

A good proportion of our parish is within the WVAONB, with the Wye Valley Walk route passing through as well. I believe that we are very lucky to have so many paths & tracks to share - please enjoy & appreciate!

To raise issues regarding any ROW please contact the parish clerk.

The Lengthsman report

The Lengthsman has been busy keeping the ditches and verges clear throughout the Parish. The bus shelter roof at Howle Hill has been repeatedly vandalised, with the roofing felt being torn off. It has now been repaired with a zinc roof – in order to deter further vandalism. The War memorial has been tidied up by cutting the hedge and clearing the weeds.

If anyone is aware of any issues in the parish relating to the verges on the highway or the local bus shelters, then please let us know so we can attend to them; your reports help us when work is being scheduled.

To raise issues regarding tasks for the Lengthsman please contact the Parish clerk.

Information supplied by Councillor Luke Freeman – Lengthsman Co-ordinator. 7 Recreational Field for Walford Parish Since our last report the project has moved slightly forward – there was a survey carried out which was attached to the last newsletter and we have had 30 replies. Although it was disappointing that so few did respond, it was nice to see that some people did and to see their reaction and thoughts to help us with this project. When this committee was first formed, we looked at 18 different areas within Walford where we felt we could create this facility. But through process of elimination i.e.: suitability, we were left with the one site that would be suitable for such a facility. The following data was as a result of the survey replies and we have based our facts and figures on the those responses.

Do you support the Recreational Field Project? (Those who replied)

Percentage in favour: 72% Not in favour: 24% No opinion: 4% Sports and activities that villagers are interested in:

Cycling: 23% Football: 17% Cricket: 12% Villagers who responded asked that the following activities be provided:

Playpark 18% Football pitch 14% Canoe Lake 13% Sports Field 11% Cricket Pitch 7% Equally divided the rest want the following:

Basketball Hoops BBQ Area Picnic Area Climbing facility Rugby Field

Return of the Village Fete A Pavillion Benches and Views Competitions

Overall, from those 30 who responded – there was interest in the village having a centre and that centre be one of activity. We feel very positive at this juncture and are now planning to seek further advice and guidance on how to progress this work through to the next stage. Once we have confirmation that our proposals are achievable it is my intention to hold a public meeting and involve the residents of Walford Parish in full discussions and planning for the project going forward. However, we are a long way off from that work yet, but you will be getting updates regularly via this publication and also the Parish Council Minutes where you will be able to see how we are progressing. We have met with the land owner – who at this moment is open minded with this project and has offered support and advice as he can. We are currently working on CAD drawings of the site and once they are of a suitable standard they will be submitted to the land offices in Worcester who will advise if we could potentially change the use of the site from agricultural to recreational use and what that will entail. Until we have that detail we will not be in a position to progress the project further. However, work in progress continues, data is being collected around use, funding and costs. We are also looking into maintenance, sustainability, resources and management as well as revenue. We continue to visit sites in other counties to gather information on how such facilities work and what steps we would need to take to ensure viability and the pleasure and safety of all users.

Councillor Cheryl Carpenter - Chair Walford Recreational Field Project 8 Updates to on-going projects Walford Links Cycleway and footpath project

There is not a great deal of additional information to report since the Spring Newsletter. However, progress is gradually being made. Councillor Philip Heath has had a meeting with Hereford Council regarding the project and he reports that due diligence is complete and costings are now being prepared.

There has also been some activity with regard to what the project might have to find in terms of funding.

Hereford Council Rights of Way department are in the process of looking into how to go about establishing the Rights of Way needed for this sort of venture, but it is understandably a slow process, and as such one with which patience is required.

We hope to have more significant information to share in the Autumn Newsletter. The Village Warden Scheme

Ward Councillor Jarvis has raised this subject with the new ‘Health and Well-being’ board, made up of a consortia of GP’s, the PCT and the Council. The concept was endorsed at the meeting and we can now move ahead with a view to implementing the plan.

There is a need and the scope for the third sector to be involved; the reasoning is that funding is tight in the current climate and so the parties involved are looking at the best way to bring the project forward from a funding point of view.

Superfast Broadband for Herefordshire

There is currently a bidding round taking place, involving the big players in the industry, such as BT, Virgin Media and Sky, for the contract to supply Superfast Broadband to South Herefordshire.

Due to earlier efforts, Kerne Bridge Ward is perfectly placed to become a key site when Phase 1 is implemented. Kerne Bridge Canoe Launch site Now that the elections are out of the way, work on the business plan for Kerne Bridge continues, guided by the advice on promoting tourism responsibly in an AONB.

As ever, we would welcome points of view from Parishioners. Please send any views and comments to the Parish Clerk. 9 Bishopswood Village Hall

Bishopswood Villlage Hall continues to be well used by the local community, With the regular classes, clubs and associations that hold meetings we have a very full calendar. We are very pleased that we have now been granted a full licence, we can now have a licensed bar at all our events without impacting on the bars needed for wedding receptions etc.

On Saturday 2nd April Bishopswood’s Got Talent had it all - Comedy sketches, recitals, dancing and singing were all in the line-up. On Friday 29th April we celebrated the Royal Wedding - with a ‘street party’.

The Village Hall AGM was held on 5th May. Elections were held and Officers remain the same (Chairman – Chris Puzey, Vice-Chairman – Don Bent, Treasurer – Monica Edmunds) Events in June will include our fabulous Community Lunch on the 19th, and a Fashion Show and Sale on 23rd. Our table sales will continue through the summer months and on July 10th we celebrate all things Strawberry – ‘Teas’, Jam, etc at our ‘Strawberry Fayre’.

Classes and clubs continue to be well attended. We also welcome back Sarah in July (27th) and August (24th) with two Dance Workshops. The August Bank holiday sees the return of the ever popular BBQ and Duck Race. Breakfast continues to pull in a good crowd, hosted by All Saints Church and in aid of the Organ Restoration Fund. www.BVHonline.co.uk has all the details of these and other events at Bishopswood Village Hall. See below for a schedule of coming events.

Walford Village Hall Committee considers it part of its remit to hold social events where local residents can meet under a general title such as a “Quiz Night” or a tasting of “Puddings Evening” where there is the opportunity for village residents to meet up and socialize often for the first time with people they rarely see or have not met before. It is a fun get together

Such a night was held on Friday June 3rd. A Pudding Tasting session for the family. The format on these occasions is for a volunteer group of cooks to make a different type of pudding for the sweet toothed audience to try. It is expected of the diners to try each of the six or so puddings on display and then if it is all novel to them and they like them, they can ask the cooks about the ingredients and preparation and timing.

Not a big attendance this time. Around thirty turned up and in between helpings they were invited to take part in a mini quiz come Brainteaser session. Not compulsory to do and no marks out of ten at the end but it always proves a popular diversion in between “eat ups”. So there we have it... Just one of the activities that happen at Walford Village Hall .

There’s more of such to enjoy later this year. Keep an eye on the notice boards. Alternatively, if you want to further information on this or other activities call Terry Snow on 01989 567639 or email [email protected] Information supplied by Councillor Terry Snow.

WALFORD PRE-SCHOOL PLAYGROUP We are based at Walford Village Hall during term time and offer pre-school children a chance to have lots of fun and adventure whilst learning through play. Our 2010 OFSTED report stated that our “Children thrive as a result of the environment and support they receive.”

For more information, please see our website: www.walfordpreschoolplaygroup.co.uk Playgroup children at the recent May Fayre Or call our Play Leader, Sara Jones on 01989 566979, or during sessions on 07765 005871 111 St Michael and All Angels Church - Walford This is situated at the same sharp corner of the B4234 as Walford Court, with the Walford war memorial behind its protective barrier and the lime trees forming the Road of Remembrance (for the WWI casualties – one tree was planted for each man killed) leading up to the church and forming one side of the churchyard. The church is presently dedicated to St. Michael and All Angels, having been St. Leonard’s until the major refurbishment of 1887. There are two interesting pictures inside the church by the main doorway which show the inside of the church before this refurbishment. Feel free to come and look!

Walford is now in the same ‘ecclesiastical’ parish as St. Mary’s Ross, (under Rev. Sarah Jones) having been in the Kerne Bridge Group of Churches (Walford with St. John’s, Howle Hill, Bishopswood, Goodrich, Marstow and Welsh Bicknor) until about ten years ago. St. John’s and Welsh Bicknor churches have closed, but the others are still going, merely grouped differently. Rev. Owen Williams, who was priest–in-charge of Walford for seven years, retired last October, and at present there is no-one particularly for Walford, although it is hoped to appoint someone on a “house-for-duty” basis this autumn.

The present pattern of services is 9.30am Holy Communion first Sunday in the month, 9.30am Matins second Sunday in the month, 6.30pm (in the summer, 3.30pm in winter) Evensong on the third Sunday in the month, 9.30am All Age Communion on the fourth, and Communion with Healing also at 9.30am on any fifth Sunday that occurs. A notice is normally up on the notice-board near the entrance gates if you wish to check. Everyone is very welcome.

For more information, the Church Office in Ross is normally open each morning (Tel: 01989 562175) or contact Walshaw at 01989 763167, who can point you in the right direction. All Saints Church - Bishopswood

All Saint’s Church Bishopswood has played a central role in the community since it was endowed in 1841. The church is a simple building, hidden in the trees to the East of the main B4234 Ross-on-Wye to Coleford road. Constructed of the green stone from the Forest of Dean it is known locally as "The Church in the Woods".

12 Planning - The Mill Race Pub development proposals

SITE PLAN

Following the obligatory Public consultation held by the applicant at the Mill Race, the Parish Council held a public meeting on Tuesday 31st May, at which the applicant and his Agent made a presentation and held an open question and answer session with members of the public and the Parish Council.

As a result of the public consultation and subsequent meeting of the Parish Council, the proposals for the development were amended by the applicant, in order to address the concerns expressed by local people regarding the original plans.

The rationale for the development was explained by the owner as follows: “In order to ensure the survival of the Mill Race in an ever changing marketplace we have put in a planning application which includes some staff accommodation and some guest bedrooms. The Mill Race provides a meeting point for everyone in the village and surrounding area and we are looking to secure the long term future of this facility by diversifying the business to ensure that it remains commercially viable and the guest rooms will provide a necessary income stream.

Many pubs such as this one in rural locations have closed because it is no longer viable to operate as a business. We are hoping that the planning application will continue to receive local support. We have already obtained planning consent for a village shop / delicatessen on the front of the pub and we would be looking to develop this as part of the proposals. ” Luke Freeman – Owner of the Mill Race Pub.

The Parish Council hold a view that a viable local Pub is an important part of the community and having considered the revised plans, the public and the Parish Council were prepared to support the application. 13 Some thoughts from our new Community Officer

Walford Parish Council over many years have acknowledged the existing communication bonding problem with our physically drawn out parish. Our community being the excellent community it is, has established relationships via Village Hall and local interest groups. Your previous PC initiated the Parish News letter which has been applauded by all and is distributed on a quarterly basis, obviously postage costs are appreciable and the letter itself can only convey so much. Cllr John Daniels Your Present Council has now gone one stage further in appointing a ‘Community Officer’ whose responsibility will be to promote opportunities to meet your council members enabling them to represent your views in council and forward to District Council if deemed necessary. I am sure that we are all appreciative of our wonderful locality and our community with a wish to either enhance parts of it or retain parts as we deem fit. This needs a positive united front via your Parish Council to promote community views.

As your Community officer my first task has been to initiate an opportunity to meet socially your recently elected parish councillors. Four venues a year corresponding to the issue of the News letter are envisaged and these are tentatively in place. I shall attempt to contact further venue opportunities with a view to spreading them about the parish as best possible, thus enabling all to visit a local venue near to you but please travel to all venues if possible and meet your neighbours and councillors.

Attendance at the average PC monthly meeting has not generally been encouraging for your councillors who do put in many hours of their time on your behalf. It would buck them up no end if they saw that their community was appreciative. Your local views as to traffic, highways, footpaths and planning issues etc, are necessary, enhancement is possible, councillors cannot be expected to know all aspects and it’s too late or difficult to amend these once a decision has been made without your possibly well informed experience of the situation.

I look forward to seeing you at the forth coming “meet your council” venues. The first of which will be at Bishopswood Village Hall on Saturday morning between 10.00 am and 12.00 noon on the 23rd of July, tea and a little extra will be available for you to hold onto whilst socialising, have fun and do get involved.

14 Police report from June PC meeting A new Chief Constable has been appointed and there will be dramatic structural and political changes on the way, probably after 1st September; however, Community Officers are being funded for the next 2 years. ‘Operation Wingspan’ has been a great success, mainly due to information gleaned from the Public; it has resulted in successful drug busts and one handgun has been taken off the streets. The Police thank members of the Public, who supplied useful information. There has been success in dealing with scrap metal dealers, the Police have been stopping and checking that they hold licenses, please ask to see the license of any scrap metal dealer who calls round. There have been reports of thefts from sheds locally, which are generally insecure; please make sure that your sheds are secure and that particularly valuable items are kept in lock up garages. Cars are being broken into in beauty spots, usually because items are left on display; please make sure that items of value are out of sight when you leave your vehicle.

Please encourage people to contact the police with information about anything they consider suspicious: Tel: 0300 333 3000, e mail on: [email protected] Know your Parish Quiz KNOW YOUR PARISH? The following photographs are of four premier residences in the parish. No cribbing or looking over your neighbour’s shoulder, can you identify them? Answers please to be given at Bishopswood Village Hall on the 23rd of July between 10.00am and 12.00am. When your Councillors will be on hand to meet and greet you and answer any questions you might have to put to them. Watch this space there will be a regular quiz in future Parish news letters.

15 VOLUNTEER DRIVERS NEEDED

Community Transport Schemes operate in every parish in the county and rely on volunteer drivers to provide transport for local people, who often have no other means of getting about. With local bus services under threat due to cuts in local authority funding, it is important that community transport providers have the resources to meet the increasing demand for their services.

If you are a good driver and have some time to spare, even if it’s only a couple of hours a week, then you could make a big difference to someone’s life in your community. You could either drive your own car, for which you would receive a mileage allowance to reimburse your running costs, or a minibus or smaller vehicle owned by the scheme. Journeys are usually made within Herefordshire, but schemes may also take people further afield eg for hospital appointments.

If you would like more information on being a volunteer, or details of your nearest community transport scheme, please contact Paul Paice, Rural Transport Adviser, on 01432 262971 or email [email protected]
