  • Parish Profile
    PARISH PROFILE Looking for an open door? Read on…. 1 BISHOP’S INTRODUCTION If you are looking for an opportunity to work with an ‘open’ group of people and churches, the Arden Marches group, located around the large ‘village’ (more like a small town with its 6,000 residents) of Studley in the west of the Diocese, has long been an example of positive creativity and spiritual life, with excellent relationships among them and with the Diocese as a whole. They are a great group of people! This post provides a large population base in Studley, with smaller but equally valued communities around it. Like other posts emerging in the Diocese at this time, the Rector of Studley and the Arden Marches will be ministering in the context of the wider Diocesan commitment to think imaginatively and creatively about how best to approach mission and ministry in village contexts. I hope the new priest-leader of this Group will have a key contribution to these consultations and the actions that will follow, as the Arden Marches Group have much to offer from which others can learn, with their track record of working together for many years and their well-developed lay ministry. Indeed, they have in the interregnum already decided to start the process towards creating only one PCC for the group. That perhaps gives an indication of their commitment and quality of relationships in working together. The Diocese of Coventry is a forward-thinking Diocese, which encourages innovation and imagination. We welcome applicants who are ready to join in this creative engagement in opening doors for the gospel, and in seeking to grow healthy church communities that worship God more fully, make more new disciples and transform their communities more effectively.

  • Studley Road Issues on the Agenda
    Studley road issues on the agenda Warwickshire County Council is listening to local concerns in Studley around traffic on the A435 main road through the village. In response to those local concerns, Warwickshire County Council recently commissioned an HGV origin and destination survey along the A435 corridor between M42 Junction 3 and Alcester. Transport consultants Atkins analysed the survey results and undertook a study outlining possible options for reducing the impact of HGV traffic on the A435. Atkins presented their draft findings and recommendations to a stakeholder meeting in July this year. Local MPs Nadhim Zahawi and Rachel Maclean along with representatives from Warwickshire and Worcestershire County Councils, Stratford-on-Avon District Council, Redditch Borough Council, Studley, Mappleborough Green and Sambourne Parish Councils and Highways England, all came together to hear the findings and start to discuss what could be done. The Atkins' Study Report and Executive Summary are available here http://warwickshire.gov.uk/A435Corridor . A public engagement event is to be held on Friday 3rd November at Studley High School between 5.30pm and 8pm to share the findings of the study with the local community. Stratford-on-Avon MP Nadhim Zahawi has offered to chair the event which will include a presentation of study findings by Atkins and an overview of potential next steps. There will be an opportunity for people to ask questions and to input into priority areas and ideas for future work. Cllr Jeff Clarke, Portfolio Holder for Transport and Environment at Warwickshire County Council said: “The Atkins study has considered a range of options for addressing the traffic and environmental problems experienced by local communities along the A435 corridor.
