  • Annual Reports
    Annual Report 2016-17 Gathering on the Green - July 2016 Community Litter Pick – March 2017 Brickhill – Annual Parish Meeting St Marks Church and Community Centre, Calder Rise, Brickhill, Thursday 16th March 2017 Annual Overview by Cllr Mark Fitzpatrick, Chairman of Brickhill Parish Council Introduction Welcome to St Mark’s for the 13th Annual Parish Meeting for Brickhill. The Annual Parish Meeting is not a council meeting. It is intended to enable parish electors and local organisations, including the parish council, to meet and discuss items of interest or concern. We can share news of what has happened over the past year and what is planned for the future, as well as allowing residents to ask questions. Work of the Parish Council 2016/2017 Over the past year, the parish council met 10 times. There have also been meetings of its Planning Committee, Allotments and Open Spaces Committee and other groups. The agendas and minutes of these meetings are available on the parish website. Residents are welcome to all meetings of the council and its committees. During the past year there have been three parish councillor vacancies. Nick Carter had been co-opted in early 2016 and sadly died in December 2016. He had made a strong contribution to the council during his short time with us. His fellow councillors made a donation to the PEPS team at St John’s, Moggerhanger, in his memory. The vacancy will be filled by Lynne Seymour. Alex Chrusiack resigned when he moved out of the area, with James Cross elected in October 2016 to replace him.

  • Sharnbrook Academy Federation Consultation on Proposed Changes to Age-Ranges, Structures and Admissions
    Dear Parents and Carers, Sharnbrook Academy Federation Consultation on proposed changes to age-ranges, structures and admissions Our last update on the structure of the Sharnbrook Academy Federation’s schools was in July. At that time we were looking to consult on change in the summer of 2015. Since then we have continued to work up the detail of these changes. We have also maintained a dialogue with Bedford Borough Council, our feeder lower schools and the St Albans Church of England Diocese. From all that we have heard, we have decided to bring our consultation forward, to shorten the period of uncertainty for parents and staff. We are now therefore publishing our Consultation document today and this can be accessed via the following link http://www.sharnbrook.beds.sch.uk/saf-governance/13589.html. Our proposal is as follows: That Harrold Priory Middle, Margaret Beaufort Middle and Sharnbrook Upper Schools should become a single school, based on the three existing sites, offering provision from age 9 (Year 5) to age 18/19 (Year 13) and that Lincroft School should extend its age-range to become an all-through secondary school offering provision from age 9 (Year 5) to age 16 (Year 11). The consultation will run until 12pm on 27 February 2015. You will have several opportunities in January to meet with us to hear more about our proposal for change. The consultation document is detailed but in summary: The proposal does not affect any lower schools and has the support of Bedford Borough Council Strong Key Stage 2 provision in Years 5 and 6 will continue By bringing Harrold Priory, Margaret Beaufort and Sharnbrook Upper School together and extending the age range at Lincroft, we can deliver a high quality Key Stage 3 curriculum and have Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 in one school.

The parcel is only separated from the settlement edge to the sprawl of large, built- south by occasional hedgerow trees. However, the low hedgerows, and intermittent up areas hedgerow trees along the remaining boundaries provide little separation between the parcel and the rolling farmland beyond the parcel to the north, west and east, so that despite its proximity to Luton, the parcel relates more strongly to the wider countryside and its release would constitute significant sprawl into the countryside. Purpose 2: The development of the parcel would result in little perception of the narrowing of the gap Preventing the between neighbouring towns because the larger towns to the north of Luton, including merger of Flitwick, are separated by the chalk escarpment running east-west which would limit the neighbouring towns impact. Purpose 3: The proximity of the adjacent residential settlement edge has some urbanising influence on Safeguarding the the parcel particularly as the occasional hedgerow trees on the boundary offer little countryside from separation. However, there is no urban development within the parcel itself and openness encroachment and undulating topography of the parcel give it a stronger relationship with the wider downland countryside.
