EVERYDAY FAITH: July 13Th at 7Pm COVID GUIDANCE and RISK Dear All, I am not sure how far the news spread earlier this year that I had bought a house in North Yorkshire - a house to retire to. I have been faffing around for ages as to when to retire and where to retire to. As a single person this is a big decision, and the protocol is not to retire where you have served as a priest, so it means a fresh start. However, a way opened up and I have felt God’s call to North Yorkshire for the next phase of my following him. As the house needed a lot of work done, it made sense to have it done before I move in so didn’t fix a date to leave then. Now I have. My final Sunday here will be September 12th. Keep the day free as there will be a service and eats (I hope – Covid permitting). I have met and got to know so many of you in my time here that I hope you’ll feel able to come, whether you count yourself as a signed up church member or not. I will miss you all and it is the hardest part about leaving. When I arrived here back in 2006, my remit as the new Team Rector was to bring the 8 churches into a team (they hadn’t been before). I replaced 2 ½ paid clergy at that point. That meant a lot of upheaval and anxiety then. However I knew even then that the way forward for small churches such as exist in villages was to work together as a team. None would be sustainable on their own. I knew they would never be served by more paid clergy and possibly less. Down the years, we have been blessed by having retired clergy and lay ministers who have helped so much and are not paid, as well as curates here for their training time. However, it is bizarre that now I come to leave, the churches find themselves in a state of upheaval again. More change lies ahead – hastened by a drop in income due to Covid and fewer available clergy – the diocese is undertaking a big review of how churches across the diocese will be organised and staffed. We do not know yet how that will affect the Woodfield Team. For those who don’t know the process, an outgoing priest is never replaced immediately, there is always a gap (ask me if you want to know why). At present, I won’t be replaced for a while pending the decisions to be made as to reorganization across the whole diocese. However the Team is better placed than many as you have Revd Rick Tett who will be heading up the enterprise together with our valiant band of lay ministers and retired clergy (not paid) and of course Revd Wilma Colley, our curate, (also not paid) until her curacy comes to an end next year. It will mean that we need all hands on deck from everyone though and we will need all to play their part. That is where things stand for now. For me it all seems very strange after nearly 31 years of being a parish priest to look to a new way of life. It will seem strange for you that I won’t be here and things will change. I know however that we are all in God’s hands and we matter to him. That is our stability in times of change. God bless. Vivien EVERYDAY FAITH: July 13th at 7pm Continuing on from last month, Everyday Faith will continue (by popular demand) with more of a Bible study looking at the early chapters of the book of Revelation – that last book of the Bible that has flummoxed more people than any other part of the bible. The meeting will be on Zoom so contact Vivien Elphick on [email protected] for the link. COVID GUIDANCE AND RISK ASSESSMENTS Ever since Coronavirus came along, we as churches have had to observe a very strict regime around sanitizing, mask wearing, social distancing and not singing. Risk assessments which give an idea of what we have been doing are on the church website. When the government announces a change in what is allowed, we can’t always act immediately as we then have to wait for detailed guidance to come through from the Church of England; the Cof E in turn has to negotiate what is needed with government departments. At the time of going to print with this edition of the parish magazine, Step 4 of the government’s plan will not take place until July 19th. For weddings and funerals, the number allowed depends on the size of the building and how many it can hold socially distanced. It also depends on the size of ‘bubbles’ so even then it is not an exact science. We are working to a figure of 50 at Donisthorpe church. A NEW HEART FOR THE WHOLE PARISH Potentially the most important development in the Parish in the last 20 years! We have approval to revitalise St John’s Church, Donisthorpe into a new beating heart to focus community activity over the next millennia. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. An ambitious project to use St John’s Church building both to continue to provide spiritual sustenance and to be open for use by the community for the benefit of many. We have already announced the glad tidings that after huge amounts of work and effort we have permission to alter completely the interior of St John’s, while keeping the exterior basically as built in the 1800s. The project isn’t to provide a church interior that just looks different but serves only for Sunday worship. It is to provide an exciting and enhanced new space for all to use: the school, clubs and more. It will benefit so many is many different ways. We’ve held to this vision to provide the community space ever since the church hall had to be closed in 2007. The challenge is to raise £500,000 to provide the area with this centre available for so many different people. We’re over half way there with the money from the sale of the church hall. Our desire is to raise the balance within the next 12-18 months. And we need your help! We want this to happen but need you on board too. 1. Is there anyone who is good at videography who could make a promotional video for us? So that we can show you all exactly what is to happen. Contact Vivien on 01530 270354 2. We have some limited funds left from money given for the repair and updating of the church hall – given over 15 years ago. We would like to use that money for this project. To that end we set out here a formal notice to change the use for this money Parochial Church Council: St John’s, Donisthorpe with Moira and Stretton-en-le-Field Purpose for which money or other property was given: for the repair and upgrading of the Donisthorpe Church Hall, Church Street, Donisthorpe NOTICE is given that money and other property given for this purpose cannot be used for that purpose because: • In 2007, the church hall was closed due to the state of disrepair and insufficient funds were available to re- open it • The hall has been sold and converted into residential accommodation If you gave money or other property for that purpose you are entitled to claim it back. If you wish to do so you must tell Revd Vivien Elphick of The Vicarage, High Street, Measham DE12 7HZ within 3 months of the date of this publication. If you wish the money or other property to go to a similar charitable purpose and to disclaim your right to the return of the money or other property, you must ask the person named above for a form of disclaimer. If you do not either make a claim within the three months or sign a disclaimer, the Charity Commission may make a Scheme applying the property to other charitable purposes. You will still be able to claim the return of your money or other property (less expenses), but only if you do so within 6 months from the date of any Scheme made by the Commission. Date of this notice: the date of this publication RIDE AND STRIDE DAY: Saturday September 11th JThe annual Ride and Stride day is fast approaching! Can you help? Can you ride your bike or walk between churches and again get sponsorship. It’s all in aid of the Leicester Historic Churches Trust. Half of the money raised goes to the Trust for the upkeep of Leicestershire’s historic churches (and that includes us!) and half comes back to our local church. Please contact Joan Smith Tel: 01530 515068 if you can help by riding or striding. SERVICES ACROSS THE WOODFIELD TEAM. All services begin at 10am. Because we operate as a Team of 8 churches, there is a service every Sunday at one of the churches – so if it isn’t a Sunday for Donisthorpe, you’d be really welcome at one of the others.

  • Settlement Hierarchy Background Paper
    May 2012 NORTH WEST LEICESTERSHIRE LOCAL PLAN: CORE STRATEGY SETTLEMENT HIERARCHY BACKGROUND PAPER 1 CONTENTS Page 1. Introduction 3 2. What does the Regional Plan say? 4 3. What is the next level outside a sub‐regional centre? 6 4. Which settlements could be rural centres? 7 5. Remaining Settlements 9 Appendix 1: What constitutes additional employment? 11 Appendix 2: Assessment of potential rural centres 13 Appendix 3: Assessment of villages 16 2 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 A key issue addressed as part of the Core Strategy is that of an appropriate settlement hierarchy to guide decisions on future development patterns. The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) reflects the approach taken in various former Government Policy Statements (e.g. PPG13, PPS3) about the need to ensure that new development is located wherever possible where alternatives to the private car exist. In particular, paragraph 17 establishes 12 ‘Coe Planning Principles’ which includes that planning should “actively manage patterns of growth to make the fullest possible use of public transport, walking and cycling, and focus significant development in locations which are or can be made sustainable”. 1.2 In addition, the adopted East Midlands Regional Plan (EMRP) provides some guidance as to the most appropriate locations for new development. This paper outlines the reasons behind the settlement hierarchy included in the Core Strategy, taking account of national and regional policies and also local circumstances. 1.3 The issue of settlement hierarchy was first considered in detail as part of the 2007 consultation. At that time the EMRP was going through the process of preparation and agreement.

  • Employment Scheme (Construction Phase)
    MERCIA PARK LAND AT HILL TOP FARM, STRETTON EN LE FIELD IN THE DISTRICT OF NORTH WEST LEICESTERSHIRE Planning Permission Ref: 18/01443/FULM Section 106 Agreement (9 October 2019 as varied 9 March 2020) Schedule Two Employment Scheme (construction phase) Employment Scheme (Construction Phase) This Employment Scheme was substantially drafted prior to and during the current outbreak of Coronavirus (Covid-19) and before government plans have been fully explained regarding how we will come out of lockdown. Whilst every effort will be made to keep these plans on track, it may be inevitable that current circumstances will impact on the delivery of the Employment Scheme. The site will be operated in accordance with the latest Government and Public Health (PHE) guidelines and Construction Leadership Council (CLC) Site Operating Procedures which are aimed at protecting the workforce, their colleagues, families and the UK population. The health and safety of site workforce and visitors is of the upmost importance and will remain our number one priority. Progress in a number of areas (particularly where activity requires contact with individuals, schools, training providers/colleges, universities, community organisations and other intermediaries, e.g. councils and DWP) may be hampered and IM Properties will consider the implications and how any potential impacts can be mitigated – and keep the situation under review. MERCIA PARK North West Leicestershire Employment Scheme (Construction Phase) – REVISED FINAL 16 June 2020 1 Introduction 1.1 Mercia Park will deliver a high-quality employment park and site for international calibre businesses. We will deliver a sustainable development that is a great place to work and which will provide long-lasting socio-economic benefits for North West Leicestershire and the surrounding areas.

  • Coalville Times at War
    Coalville Times At War Friday October 1st 1915 (Issue 1230) Page 1 ASHBY CITIZENS’ CORPS INSPECTION The Ashby Citizen Corps had a practice and drill in the Bath Grounds on Sunday, under G. J. German and were joined by the Woodville Company under Mr Freckleton. The drill consisted of exercises in preparation for the inspection by Lord Rankesborough, which is to take place next Sunday. Lord Rankesborough will be remembered by old volunteers as Major-General Brocklehurst, who inspected the Ashby Company about ten years ago at Ashby. Page 3 WOUNDED SOLDIER’S OUTING A JOLLY PARTY About 200 wounded and convalescent soldiers from the Base Hospital at North Evington, Lutterworth, Charnwood and Melton hospitals had a glorious time on Saturday. They were entertained by the employees of Messrs. Walker, Kempson and Stevens (Sileby Branch) and Mr J. W. Molt, (of Sileby). As usual, the motor car arrangements were under the able supervision of Mr C. Geoffrey Barradale, on behalf of the Leicestershire Automobile Club. An informal procession, which started from the Victoria Park Gates, was made through the town. As on previous occasions, the Tommies were heartily cheered and showers of cigarettes, fruit, chocolates, etc., went into the cars. At Sileby, large crowds of people greeted the soldiers. The village was handsomely decorated with banners, flags and festoons. In a field adjoining the Conservative Club, a large marquee and platform had been erected. Among those present were Col. Yate, M.P., Mr J. H. Bott (manager for Messrs. Walker, Kempson and Stevens at Sileby), Mr J. W. Moir, Mr Wye (secretary of Messrs.
