Gurnard Film Society Little Voice Friday 7Th March 7.30 P.M
2 LETTER FROM ALL SAINTS’ 27 Most of us can find the first three months of the year slightly depressing. The colour and excitement of Christmas is behind us and before the coming of spring we could be faced with at least three months of grim weather. The poet John Clare however, in his book the Shepherd’s Calendar, found the months of February and March to be a time of looking forward to spring and a time of inspiration. He did however spend periods of time in various asylums in the Northampton area! In his poem February he writes;- A calm of pleasure listens round And almost whispers winter bye While fancy dreams of summer sounds And quiet rapture fills the eye This year March will be when the season of Lent begins. Christians use this period of time to prepare for the season of Easter, which for many marks the season of spring. Having just spent the last week in January accompanying my wife whilst she photographed various birds and animals on the Island I know the signs of spring are all around us. We were surprised to find a squirrel looking for food down a track in the West Wight and although we returned to the same point several times we didn’t see it again. He must have eaten, seen the rain and gone back to sleep. The ducks show every sign that spring isn’t far away and are preparing for a future generation of birds. But for all the spring signs, the colour in the countryside has that pastel quality that is found only in winter. -

Passenger Information During Snow Disruption December 2010
Passenger information during snow disruption December 2010 A Rail passenger Information during snow disruption December 2010 Headline Findings 1. The National Rail Enquiries (NRE) website appears to have coped well with very high volumes 2. The online real time journey planner on the NRE website did not show correct information for some train operating companies (TOCs) 3. The online journey planners on TOC and third-party websites did not generally reflect the contingency timetables in operation 4. Tickets continued to be available for sale online for many trains that would not run 5. Station displays appear to have reflected formal contingency timetables, except for Southeastern 6. Station displays and online Live Departure Boards did not always keep pace with events 7. The NRE call centres appear to have provided good information, but queuing times of 11 or 12 minutes were common. 1 The National Rail Enquiries appears to have coped well with very high volumes We saw no evidence that the NRE website crashed or was slower than usual, despite a large spike in volume (Chris Scoggins reported that the volume on 2 December was twice the previous record peak on 7 January 2010). 2 The online real time journey planner on the NRE website did not show correct information for some train operating companies NRE had to advise passengers not to use the journey planner for enquiries about East Coast, Southeastern and South West Trains. This was a significant failure, with three scenarios: 2a Although the journey planner showed services from a contingency timetable for East Coast on 1 and 2 December, it also showed services from the base timetable that were no longer running. -

Northwood Plan.Pub
Northwood Parish Plan October 2007 Contents 4 Foreword 5 An Introductory Summary 7 Background to the Parish Plan 8 Our Community - a Brief Overview 13 How the Parish Plan Was Created 15 Summary of Consultation Outcomes 18 Subject Areas • Social and Community • Services • Economic • Land and Environment 39 The Next Steps 40 The Parish Action Plan 45 Sustainability 46 Appendix • Questionnaire Responses, including Quotations • Community Organisations and Contacts • Acknowledgements Copies of this document may be obtained in large print by contacting Paul Fuller 289595 - 74 Wyatts Lane 3 Foreword Work started on the Parish Plan in 2003, although it wasn’t until 2005 when the IW Rural Community Council embraced the perseverance of the Northwood Community Partnership in seeing the Parish Plan properly funded, and this was when the hard work really began. At that time, Northwood ‘broke the mould’ in that we became the first unparished area in the country to receive funding from a RCC for its Parish Plan. With our new Parish Council being established next year, it is with pride that our community has created this Parish Plan based upon the views that Northwood holds most passionately. I hope when reading this Plan it becomes clear how strongly some residents feel about Northwood, and what we can do as a community to preserve, enhance and develop the village for future generations. By doing much of the work ourselves, we have ensured that sufficient funding remains to allow each household in the village to receive a copy of this Plan. I would like to thank everyone who has contributed, all local and all voluntarily, particularly my predecessors Mike Andrew and Councillor Roger Mazillius, for being ’volunteered’ to co- ordinate the Plan when nobody else wanted to! The time to prepare, write and evaluate the consultation processes for the Parish Plan has been immense, and created many sleepless nights for those involved. -
