  • The Parish of Christchurch the Priory Church of the Holy Trinity, Christchurch St George, Jumpers  St John at Purewell for Sunday 9 May, 2021
    The Parish of Christchurch The Priory Church of the Holy Trinity, Christchurch St George, Jumpers St John at Purewell for Sunday 9 May, 2021 Dear Friends, Our journey through these eight weeks of Easter takes a new direction on Thursday 13th, when the Church celebrates Ascension Day. In addition to our customary morning services at the Priory (11.00) and St George’s (10.00), we shall mark this important festival by holding a Eucharist for Ascension Day at 7.00pm that evening in the Priory. The Ascension appears in the list of Jesus’ life events recorded in the Apostles' Creed – conception, birth, crucifixion, death, resurrection, ascension and, the only one yet to happen, when Jesus shall “come again to judge the living and the dead”. Ascension is the sign that Jesus has been vindicated as our Saviour and now reigns as Lord; that "at the name of Jesus, every knee shall bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord" (Phil 2.10). Ascension is the confirmation that the salvation Jesus achieved on the cross and released through the resurrection means that humanity has been redeemed and is now taken up into heaven with Christ. Ascension is the sign that, in Christ, we have direct access to God our Father, to worship him in all we are and in all we do; for Christ has restored the fellowship of heaven and earth. * * * * * As every year since 2016, Thy Kingdom Come begins on Ascension Day and continues until Pentecost, on May 23rd.

    Dorset Coastal Community Team Connective Economic Plan: Christchurch Coastal Area Plan 2016 The Christchurch Coastal Area plan is a daughter document of the Dorset Coastal Community Team Connective Economic Plan and covers the coastal area of Christchurch. This plan has been written by the Dorset Coastal Community Team with input from Dorset Coast Forum members. Dorset Coastal Community Team Connective Economic Plan Christchurch Coastal Area Plan Key Information This document is linked to the Connecting Dorset Coastal Community Team Economic Plan and (Sections 1-4 can be found in this) 5. Local Area (Provide brief geographical description) Christchurch is the most easterly coastal town of Dorset. It boarders Bournemouth to the west and the New Forest, Hampshire to the east. Christchurch Harbour is the town’s natural harbour with two Rivers the Avon and the Stour flowing into it at its northwest corner. Stanpit Marsh lies at the northern edge of the harbour and is a 65,000 Hectare local nature reserve. To the west side of the harbour is the prominent natural coastal headland, Hengistbury Head which protects the harbour. The harbour contains large areas of saltmarsh and is protected by Mudeford spit (a sandbar) which has fine sandy beach on both sides of a walkway lined with beach huts. Christchurch is a gateway town to the Jurassic coast, home to the nearby Highcliffe Castle and the cliff line of the Highcliffe to Barton Geological SSSI. The coastal area has a rich and diverse blend of historic, geological and environmental features and is a thriving community hub. It is an important place for coastal recreation and tourism activity, steeped in social history.

See table 7.2.2 for details of other route options considered here. 7.1.4 This part of the coast includes the following sites, designated for nature conservation, geological or heritage preservation (see map C of the Overview): Solent and Dorset proposed Marine Special Protection Area (SPA) Highcliffe to Milford Cliffs Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) for its geological interest 7.1.5 We have assessed the potential impacts of access along the proposed route (and over the associated spreading room described below) on the features for which the affected land is designated and on any which are protected in their own right. The levels and patterns of public access along this length of coast would be unlikely to change significantly as a result of our proposals and we have therefore concluded that our proposals would not be likely to have any significant impact on these features.
