  • Parish Profile for the Benefices of St James Church, Biddenham and All Saints Church, Kempston (Held in Plurality)
    The Diocese of St Albans Living God’s Love Parish Profile for The benefices of St James Church, Biddenham and All Saints Church, Kempston (held in plurality) Living to love God and serve our local communities Thank you for considering our benefices - we are grateful for your interest. First of all, can we show you a little of whom we are in a couple of photos? 1 1 Summary We are benefices in a period of transition: For years we have been two comfortable, warm parishes having many admirable features and serving an area of settled housing. We have been caring communities with a faithful core of members and full churches at the Christian festivals. We have had well maintained churches and a strong choral Eucharistic culture and active Sunday schools. But the world around us has changed. We are now surrounded by areas of new-build estates and a new village populated largely by un-churched residents looking for community. More generally we have an increasingly secular and consumerist culture where the preferred activities on Sundays do not include going to church. People have little knowledge of the Christian faith and therefore reject its validity. We recognise that we have to change: We need, with the help of our Vicar, to learn more about our faith and to increase our commitment to Jesus Christ and knowing Him as Lord and Master, so that we can take the Gospel out both into our traditional areas and into the new-build estates. We must develop an enthusiasm about our faith; otherwise nobody will listen to us.

  • Minutes of a Meeting with Bedford Borough Council Highways Department, Borough Cllr. T. Wootton, and Representatives from Staplo
    Minutes of a Meeting with Bedford Borough Council Highways Department, Borough Cllr. T. Wootton, and representatives from Staploe, Little Staughton, Colmworth and Bolnhurst and Keysoe Parish Councils on Wednesday 19th February 2020 at 2pm at Keysoe Village Hall, Keysoe Row West, Bedford MK44 2JE Present: Andrew Prigmore (Bedford Borough Council Highways Dept.), Borough Cllr. T. Wootton, Lucy Crawford (Clerk to Staploe Parish Council), Cllr. Veronica Zwetsloot (Staploe Parish Council), Cllr. Kevin Head (Little Staughton Parish Council), Cllr. Gordon Johnstone (Wyboston Parish Council), Cllr. Martina Perry (Bolnhurst and Keysoe Parish Council) and Cllr. Beverley Brightman (Colmworth Parish Council). Apologies: Gareth Turner (Bedford Borough Council Highways Department) 1. Consider the introduction of a 50mph limit on Bushmead Road All the parish councils represented supported the introduction of reduced speed limits on the Bushmead Road to a maximum of 50mph but KH suggested it should be 40mph in places. They recounted witnessing several nasty accidents on the road (one requiring an airlift to hospital). They also recounted many near misses some of which they believed were due to large HGV’s passing at speed when the road is not wide enough and cars being forced into the middle of the road by potholes. They acknowledged that recent repairs had improved the worst areas of the road but were concerned that some areas with failing patches had not been addressed. Andrew Prigmore explained that the worst areas had been repaired at a cost of approximately £70K but they had to choose the worst areas due to their limited budget. He reported that police data showed that none of the accidents on the road had been directly caused by excess speed.

  • MARY WILKINSON – Interview No 23
    THE COHEN INTERVIEWS MARY WILKINSON – Interview No 23 Edited by Tim Cook and Harry Marsh Annotation research by Diana Wray Transcription by Olwen Gotts for WISEArchive ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is one of 26 interviews with social work pioneers conducted by the late Alan Cohen in 1980 - 81. The period of social work history Alan wished to explore with the interviewees was 1929 - 59. With one exception (No 24, Clare Winnicott), the interviews were unpublished until this edition in 2013. The copyright is held by the not for profit organisation WISEArchive. Each interview is presented as a free-standing publication with its own set of notes. However, readers interested in the Cohen Interviews as a whole and the period discussed are referred to: (a) the other 25 interviews (b) the Editors’ Introduction (c) the Select Bibliography. All of these can be found at http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/services/library/mrc/explorefurther/subject_guides/social_work ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mary Wilkinson The interview with Mary Wilkinson is the shortest of the 26 and in many ways the most difficult to categorise as the interviewee represents an older style of working, within the probation service, rather than the more pioneering and reflective approaches of the other 25 interviewees. Mary Wilkinson’s voice is however clear and forthright and offers valuable points to consider when reflecting on the history of social work development. She stayed in one area, Bedfordshire, all her working life (1939-1972) and placed great emphasis on the importance of having roots in the community and being widely known in the area. She saw this as enabling her to do a better job and was critical of those who perhaps only stayed for two years.

  • CPC Draft Minutes March 2021
    Appendix 1 Borough Council Report to Parish Councils March 2021 Petition to improve flood defences Over the Christmas period there were worrying floods in the borough and these are becoming a more regular occurrence. Investigations revealed that the current flood action plan was drawn up in September 2015 whilst there was another risk assessment in November 2020 it is unclear to see how it follows from the action plan in 2015. In the 2015 plan there are several actions which are still ongoing, and it is unclear whether they have been completed. Therefore, a petition was started by the Conservative Group to review the causes of the local flooding and seek improvements to the flood defences. It also asks for more action to be taken to increase flood protection in the Borough. You can find more information here: http://chng.it/VYvBwZ8q This petition was accepted by Full Council on Wednesday 24th February and the Council has committed to set up a “water management forum”, to included Councillors, that will facilitate the promotion of good practice in our communities in relation to flood risk. Controversial route 'E' for East West Rail a source of increasing concern for Borough residents The chosen route selected for the East West Rail project - route E - continues to prove controversial and Borough Councillors received a petition this month, signed by over 1600 Bedford residents, objecting to it. The petition was debated at a heated meeting of the Borough Council on 24th February, when a number of residents from parishes in and around the route, put a series of questions to Council Leaders, and calling for the Council to "hold a full public consultation to be followed by a debate at Full Council in respect of the Council's decision to support Route E".
