How time flies when you are having fun. Spring is in the air, the bulbs I planted in October are poking their heads through the frost laden soil. The nights are drawing out, and there is a new expectation in the air. Spring is my favourite time of the year, as the life is restored into dried up trees and plants, the circle of life. We pass through many seasons in life. Some are new and exciting, yet others are dull and depressing, and yet others are heart breaking and soul destroying, and most of the time, all are out of our control. Yet, just as the weather comes in seasons, life still carries on and new seasons follow, and as a Christian, we can know without a doubt that Jesus is with us. He is the only one who can take us to the place of new growth, of healing, restoration and looking forward to the future with expectation, just as we wait for the flowers to bloom in Spring. As sure as those bulbs I planted in October will bloom in spring is the assurance that God is always with you. Psalm 18:2 The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. The Leadership Team have been talking about many things to build on the future of The Scroll Church, and are coming up with ways to build ourselves up spiritually, and also socially as a Fellowship. So over the next year, there will be several events which we would like to encourage you to attend. Ruth 3 — SOCIAL EVENTS AT THE SCROLL CHURCH — by Rev. Ruth The first social event will be a Beetle Drive with fish and chip supper. Please add your name to sign-up list in church. BEETLES AND CHIPS? Beetle Drive with Fish ‘n’ Chip Supper Saturday 10th February at 5pm Add your name to the list in church for our first social event of the year - the last Beetle Drive we had was very popular with lots of fun for all ages. Do sign up and come along! There will be a joint Lent course held at Trinity and shared with Father Geoff and the congregation from St Michaels and All Angels Church. — LENT GROUP — Mondays, beginning 19th Feb at 2.30pm A Lent Group will be held at Trinity for five consecutive Mondays at 2.30pm starting on Monday 19th February. We shall be looking at one of The York courses called, ‘On The Third Day’. Please let Ruth know as soon as possible if you are attending so that the booklets may be purchased. At Easter we shall be holding a Sedar Service on Maundy Thursday, where we mark the Passover. On 13th May a Frugal Lunch will be held at church after the morning service. Neil will be hosting a ‘Pop-up’ Church in the near future. This is a Fresh Expressions idea that is becoming popular around the country. It could mean meeting for: a meal; a cup of coffee at Costa or any of the local independent coffee shops; an Indian; or just a pub lunch as a group of Christians sharing in fellowship outside the church walls. 4 As you know we have been holding a Breakfast Church which has been predominantly for young people, but we wish to extend that to all age fellowship. So our first All-age Café-style Worship will be held on March 11th, Mothering Sunday and subsequently 10th June starting at 9.30am. There will not be an 11am service on those days. Please come along and enjoy sharing breakfast with your church friends. — BREAKFAST CHURCH — Sunday 11th March, 9.30am - Mothering Sunday Come and enjoy breakfast at a café-style worship where everyone is welcome…and yes, that means EVERYONE! Mike will have his apron on, with spatula in hand for your egg and bacon orders as we ramp up the heat in the kitchen! We are also planning a Sunday Afternoon Church Picnic and outing to Cassiobury Park, date to be announced (during the warmer months!) We shall need your help with this next one please. The Scroll Church is planning to run a Holiday Club for 5-11 year olds from 13th-17th August from 9.30am - 12.30pm. If you can spare a few hours in that week to help out we would be very grateful. And finally, on Saturday 23rd June at 7.30pm, we will be hosting a Gospel Outreach evening led by Helen Shapiro…YES, you read that right, the same Helen Shapiro who sang, ‘Walking back to happiness.’ She is a converted Jewess, and sings well known songs as well as her own gospel songs. Please invite your friends along, it will be a great evening. Put the date in your diary - there will be more information and publicity about this soon. And finally…finally, we are appealing for an Events/Social Co-ordinator. Is this you? Please speak to Ruth or one of the Trustees if you feel called to take on this important roll within the life of the church. Please keep checking the weekly notice sheet for more information on all the above. 5 — DO YOU WANT TO FAST THIS LENT? — in the words of Pope Francis Fast from hurting words and say kind words Fast from sadness and be filled with gratitude Fast from anger and be filled with patience Fast from pessimism and be filled with hope Fast from worries and trust in God Fast from complaints and contemplate simplicity Fast from pressures and be prayerful Fast from bitterness and fill your heart with joy Fast from selfishness and be compassionate to others Fast from grudges and be reconciled.” Fast from words and be silent so you can listen. — PASSION OF JESUS — Good Friday at Abbots Langley Methodist Church This year there is a new experience that those of all faiths and none can come and share. The telling of the PASSION OF JESUS is being streamed to the Methodist Church Big Screens from Trafalgar Square where it is being played to around 10,000 people. The doors will open around 2.30pm so that people may gather, just as they will be doing in London.The screen will show the same preliminary pictures as in Trafalgar Square and we are told that a compere will greet us before the performance starts at 3.15pm. About 1 hr 30 mins later everyone will have had an experience which they will not be able to forget. This is an event to tell people about it is not just for ‘church goers’ but those of all faiths and none, the believers and those who search for truth. Literally everyone. There will be publicity on Three Counties Radio and in the local press but as always a personal invitation is most effective. The Wintershall streaming on Good Friday 30th March will go to many churches throughout Britain and possibly worldwide. www.wintershall-estate.com/passion-jesus-london 6 Call to Worship Let us gather in this moment Let us gather wherever we find Just as we are ourselves Questioner, sinner, seeker Just as we are For we matter to God Each of us created in the poetry of More than doctrine, liturgy or love creed. And formed from the imagination of heaven. Let us gather in this space Just as we are Let us interrupt the world this Less than perfect morning And fully human Wherever we are in our needs and longings. And worship God.

  • Lanchester Building, Hempstead Road
    PART A Report of : HEAD OF REGENERATION AND DEVELOPMENT Date of Committee: 30 th January 2014 Site address: Lanchester Building, Hempstead Road Reference number: 13/01134 /FUL Description of development: Conversion of building for use as a primary school with nursery, including two 3 storey rear extensions, alterations to elevations and new entrance canopy. Formation of external play areas, including new surfacing, seating, fencing and gates, and alterations to landscaping. Erection of fencing around the boundaries of the site. Alterations to vehicular access to West Herts College and the provision of 7 car parking spaces, coach lay-by, cycle shelter and new footpaths. Applicant: West Herts Community Free School Trust th Date received: 6 November 2013 st 8 week date (minor): 1 January 2014 Ward: PARK SUMMARY Full planning permission is sought for the conversion of the existing Lanchester Building at West Herts College into a two form entry primary school with nursery comprising the associated extensions and alterations to the building and external ground works to facilitate this use. The building itself is locally listed and the whole site is located within the Civic Core Conservation Area. The adjacent Little Cassiobury is a Grade II* listed building. The proposed use of the Lanchester Building as a primary school will meet an identified and immediate need for primary school places within the central area of Watford. The use of the building as a school does not require planning permission; however, the proposed external works to the open space in front of the Lanchester Building are considered to have a moderate negative impact on the character and appearance of the Civic Core Conservation Area and the setting of the locally listed Lanchester Building.

  • Character of Area Study
    Watford Character of Area Study Adopted December 2011 0B1.0 Introduction The Borough of Watford is a well established urban centre in West Hertfordshire that contains a diverse patchwork of areas reflecting different types of built form. These character areas provide the spatial framework for local neighbourhoods and reflect the multifunctional nature of the town as a location for employment, leisure, study and residential provision. Although these areas provide a network of urban form, rich in “place identity”, they remain at risk of degradation from the pressures of new development. There is therefore a need to identify the Borough’s existing character areas and to provide a reference for guiding contextually responsive development that reinforces local character. 2.0 Urban Conservation Strategy 2.1 The need for a comprehensive study identifying character areas within the Borough was set out in the Council’s Urban Conservation Strategy, as detailed in the Watford District Plan 2000 (adopted 2003). The Urban Conservation Strategy sets out to deliver a package of different documents covering the various heritage assets within the town, including: conservation areas, Statutory Listed Buildings, Locally Listed Buildings and archaeology. The Character of the Area Study provides an overarching resource on urban form for the whole Borough and not just areas or buildings that are designated as heritage assets and referred to in the District Plan and the Urban Conservation Strategy. 2.2 The Watford District Plan 2000 and the related Supplementary Planning Guidance Note 28 (adopted 2003) includes information on Historic Environment Character Zones in Watford. This map based resource provides general information on the historical character zones that exist within the Borough and their archaeological potential.

  • Nationallylistedbuildings Final 2014
    Nationally Listed Buildings in Watford Updated 2014 1.0 Introduction 1.1 A 'Listed Building' is a building, object or structure that has been judged to be of national historical or architectural interest. It is included on a register called the "List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest," drawn up by the Department of Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. At a national level English Heritage (EH) administers the listing system on behalf of the Secretary of State. 1.2 Nationally Listed Buildings are subject to national and local policies. These are set out in: • National Planning Policy Framework (2012); • Watford District Plan 2000 (2003)*; • Watford Local Plan: Part 1: Core Strategy (2013)*; • Watford Local Plan: Part 2: Development Management Polices (draft)*. *(The Watford Local Plan replaces the Watford District Plan.) 1.3 Nationally Listed Buildings are located throughout Watford, with a concentration along The Parade and High Street. Some of the buildings are situated within Conservation Areas and are subject to the relevant planning policies concerning Conservation Areas, as well as the specific polices relating to Listed Buildings. The contents of the List of Buildings of National Interest are also included on the Historic Environment Record maintained by Hertfordshire County Council. While this does not additionally increase the level of protection afforded to the buildings, it does reinforce and aid the recognition of their contribution to the wider historic environment. 2.0 The Listing Process 2.1 The first buildings to be Nationally Listed in Watford were designated in 1952, with the most recent addition occurring in 2008.
