  • 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.

  • Minerals Site Allocations Plan – Repreferred Options Consultation
    9. APPENDIX B Minerals Site Allocations Plan – Report of Preferred Options Consultation – Appendix B 1.1 This report sets out the preferred options identified in the Bedfordshire and Luton Minerals Site Allocations plan alongside a summary of the consultation responses. It also contains initial officer recommendations in relation to the issues raised 1.2 A complete set of responses to the Minerals Site Allocations Plan is available on request 2. General 2.1 Go-East considers that Preferred Option Report has been produced in a comprehensive and systematic fashion. It notes that a sustainability appraisal has been carried out and is pleased to see a commentary on how this has influenced the development of the preferred options throughout the document, including the testing of potential sites and the justification for site selection. 2.2 It considers that layout, form, content and use of maps in the document are satisfactory. It does, however, suggest that a useful piece of evidence to underpin the submitted document would be a review of sites not worked for ten years or more to establish the likelihood of production being revived. 2.3 It also suggests that the overall need for minerals that is set out in the Site Allocations DPD is a strategic matter which should be addressed in the Core Strategy. 2.4 It must also be highlighted that operators and landowners whose sites were within the Issues and Options papers and have not been included within the Preferred Options have objected to their non inclusion. 3. Chapter 4 Aggregate Minerals – Overall Need Question 1 Do you agree that the identified need is correct? Please give reasons with your answer.

  • MEMORIES of a BIGGLESWADE BOY by Eric James Lund
    IN MEMORY OF ERIC LUND VICE PRESIDENT OF THE BIGGLESWADE HISTORY SOCIETY WHO PASSED AWAY ON 24 NOVEMBER 2016 AGED 89 MEMORIES OF A BIGGLESWADE BOY by Eric James Lund as published in fourteen parts in the Biggleswade History Society Newsletter between April 2014 and July 2015 The memoirs cover the years 1930-1946 Photographs, illustrations and captions were added by the Society’s Editor. Some were scanned from original photographs supplied by Eric. Most were chosen from the Society’s archives. Attached at the end of ‘Memories of a Biggleswade Boy’ is an autobiographical piece which Eric wrote in response to a request by the Society’s Newsletter Editor for a ‘Meet the Vice President’ feature. It appeared in the October 2011 issue and has been included here because it is a fitting tribute to the man and continues his story almost to the present day. MEMORIES OF A BIGGLESWADE BOY BOYHOOD YEARS – 1930 to 1940 – Part 1 By Eric James Lund. September 2013 I was born in Runcorn in Cheshire but in 1930, when I was three years old, my parents moved to Biggleswade. Therefore apart from initial babyhood, my boyhood, teenage and adult life, (except for the first 6 months of 1946 working in Rochester, followed by 2 years army service), has been spent in Biggleswade, thus making me just about eligible to be called a ‘Biggleswader’. An appeal in 2013 by Roy Chadwick, Chairman of Biggleswade History Society, to members to write some of their memories made me aware that already my memory of some of those childhood days of some 70 to 80 years ago is getting quite faulty, so I decided to set my fingers to work on the keyboard while I can still remember a few things.
