Now, with the election behind us, we look to the new decade and like those Wise Man, following the star, contemplate the horizon ahead, wondering where the journey of the next few years will take us. The majesty, joy and intimacy of our Lessons and Carols service and those of Christmas Eve / Day and the delight of the music making in church by young local people (thank you to June and others for Christmas in Concert), pointed our attention in the direction of a world where, in humility, we lay aside our self-interest and bring ourselves up to the challenge of being God-centred – where our standards are measured against those of compassion, tenderness, living simply, justice and mercy. As the lives of young people like Jack Merritt (RIP) and Greta Thunberg inspire us to live responsibly, may we continue to press our politicians to face up to the immediate challenge of global warming, ‘respect other faiths and cultures, fight poverty and injustice and seek those values, the truths of Advent, which are beyond GDP and a prospering economy, hope, in faith, for joy and, ultimately, peace’*. Our Prime Minister now has the chance to confound his critics and, not least, fulfil the promises made of resourcing the NHS and conducting Brexit efficiently. For those living with disappointment can they lay aside grudges, and the pleased their smugness? As we ‘follow the star’ we discover our fellow travellers are both strong and weak, triumphant and broken, resilient and vulnerable, yet it is together, by owning the part we have to play no matter how insignificant it seems, that we will bring about the united, just and caring society we seek. May the love of the Christ child be for all of us in 2020. * Brenda Vance rootsontheweb.com 5 Messy Church is taking a break during the school Christmas holiday, but will return in February.

At Girlguiding we look to the future. So far over 110,000 Promises to reduce plastic use have been made across the UK thanks to our girls. Most of the promises are as small as reusing a water bottle but they add up over time. We also had many Brownies, Rainbows and Guides taking part in Parliament Week, so girls get some understanding of the importance of politics and making your point of view heard. We start with debates over their favourite animals so that one day they can debate on what they believe in. These are all little things that could make big changes over time. And you can do something like this too. Volunteering your time to help run the weekly Wickham Bishops Brownies or Beacon Hill Rainbows meetings can make a big difference.

There have been some administration issues to consider, such as insurance and health and safety, but these have been resolved. Two groups have already started: the ‘Warhammer Alliance’ modelling club has met twice, running under the auspices of the Scout Group and interest in this is increasing. The group meets on the third Saturday of each month; so next meeting is 18th January – 1.30pm to 3.30pm. The computer coding club has also started, teaching children to design and create computer programs. This is an activity already promoted by Essex Libraries in other branches and a welcome addition to our library. It is hoped that the Ancestry Tracing group, another service offered elsewhere by Essex Libraries, will start early in 2020, along with a ‘Beginner’s Bridge’ club, a Men’s Reading group and a ‘Scrabble’ club. In readiness, the latter group has its own email address of [email protected] and enquiries are welcome by email. By the time that you read this, a Facebook page will have been created to include details of all of these new groups. To find it, search Facebook for “Friends of Wickham Bishops Library”. Members of the Library Working Group held a meeting recently with Ruth Warboys of Essex County Council to discuss possible ways forward for the core library services in Wickham Bishops. Ruth is keen to promote more community involvement in the running of the library as well as providing library ‘outreach’ possibilities into places such as nursing homes and play-groups. However, Ruth stressed that in order to promote Essex CC’s five-year strategy to reverse the decline in use of library services, it is imperative that we make more use of the existing services. If you are not currently a library card holder, please consider joining and make use of the facilities on offer. It really is a case of ‘Use it or Lose it’. 9 Great Totham Women’s Institute ... As our meeting date in December fell on the day of the General Election, we held our Christmas get-together at the Barn Church in Prince of Wales Road. We were made to feel very welcome and, although a little smaller than the Village Hall, all the facilities were available with Christmas decorations as an added bonus! We really appreciated the Barn providing the venue for us. Members and guests from Eve’s Corner, Danbury and Maldon Wycke Women’s Institutes were welcomed with drinks and were royally entertained by Steve Galler.

    Location Mackmurdo Place, Wickham Bishops, Witham, Essex Housing English Rural Association Housing Association Partners Wickham Bishops Parish Council; Maldon District Council; Essex Rural Community Council (enabler) Scheme An innovative local needs development enabled through the rural outline exception site process. The scheme provides a mixed tenure approach using a distinctive cross-subsidy model. The overall development consists of 15 for market sale by Lynton Homes, the remaining land having been gifted to English Rural who are developing a further 12 affordable homes, including two discounted market sale homes that are being sold on a shared equity basis with local connection requirements – these are specifically targeted at older local households looking to downsize. There are two further shared ownership homes being sold on a restricted staircasing lease and eight affordable rent homes. All the affordable homes are subject to local occupancy restrictions outlined in a S.106 planning agreement. The development demonstrates what can be achieved through strategic partnerships on rural exception sites. English Rural worked with local and market partners securing a range of tenures which are designed to meet the needs of the local community, specifically older households looking to downsize who were identified as a key demographic during the enabling process. Need The development helped to meet a need for homes identified by the Rural Housing Enabler, who worked closely with the local community through the parish council to undertake a detailed housing needs assessment. Aside from the 15 homes for market sale, which meet local demand from higher income households within the wider community and district, the development comprises of 2 x two bedroom bungalows for discounted market sale, 1 x two bedroom house and 1 x two bedroom bungalow available on a shared ownership lease; 3 x two bedroom houses and 2 x two bedroom flats, 1 x one bedroom bungalow and 1 x two bedroom bungalow for affordable rent.

Maps © and database Crown copyright & Landmark Information Group All rights reserved. May 2011. 3 4 SUMMARY. This Report presents the results of the field survey of the operating railway line between Shenfield and Southminster. A companion Report is published for the two now-discontinued railway branches from Witham to Maldon, and from Woodham Ferrers to Maldon. Fieldwork was carried out between April and August 2007. The purpose of the Survey was to detail what survives of the structures of these lines and their accompanying works including buildings, bridges, embankments, cuttings and subsiduary constructions, to review the statutory designations and to suggest possible further usage for the lines. INTRODUCTION. Much of the track line and adjacent land of the two discontinued lines is in private or corporate ownership and is publicly accessible only where it is crossed by public roads and paths. Small parts have been developed by Local Councils as “Trails” as a public amenity. There are two Nature Reserves. Where building development has been permitted on the former track, some recognition of the former alignment is still recognisable by the line of streets, footpaths and land/property boundaries.

Geology, Location & Landscape Geology Fig 1A Blackwater Bridge The bedrock of Maldon District is London Clay; a silty clay deposit laid down in a warm sea some 55 million years ago, and is up to 150m deep. The geology of our area is complex, being dominated by subsequent deposits from the glaciers and rivers that have criss-crossed the region over the past 0.5 million years of the Palaeolithic period. These deposits may be found in our gardens and comprise: brickearths, glaciofluvial sands and gravels, head deposits, and alluvium. The last ice sheet stopped some tens of miles south of here - c.11,000 years ago - the start of the Mesolithic Age, before retreating back up north. Location and Landscape The western boundary of Wickham Bishops Parish roughly follows the Blackwater River (Map 1 Wickham Bishops Parish Boundary). East of the river the land rises quite steeply to a height of 77m, where the main part of the village is situated. The total area of the parish is approximately 762 hectares. There are two roads passing through the parish from Witham, which is 2.5 miles NW of the village, to Maldon which is 3 miles to the SE.

There are communities all over the UK that have successfully developed a Neighbourhood Development Plan as a tool to influence planning decisions in their area. “Neighbourhood planning gives communities direct power to develop a shared vision for their neighbourhood and shape the development and growth of their local area. They are able to choose where they want new homes, shops and offices to be built, have their say on what those new buildings should look like and what infrastructure should be provided, and grant planning permission for the new buildings they want to see go ahead.” (Gov.uk definition) The Plan must meet a number of Basic Conditions and other statutory requirements set out in Paragraph 8 of Schedule 4B of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended). A Basic Conditions Statement accompanies this Plan outlining how it meets these requirements. The basic conditions that the Plan must meet are that it: contributes to the achievement of sustainable development takes account of National Policies and Guidance is in general conformity with the strategic policies contained in the development plan for the Maldon District does not breach and is otherwise compatible with EU obligations.
