CQC Registered Provider 1-341050661 RETURN TO CONTENTS PAGE The Parish Magazine - May 2017 5 The vicar’s letter DEAR FRIENDS I have recently re-read each of my previous annual church reports and as I reflect on almost nine years here I offer the following observations on some of the lessons that I feel we have been learning at St Andrew’s. These can be summarized by three words, all helpfully beginning with C! CHANGE Edmund Burke said 'A state without the means of some change is without the means of its conservation'. I firmly believe that the same is the case for a church. It was made clear to me by numerous people from within and outside of our church life that 'this parish doesn’t do change!' Looking back, I feel that there is a little truth to this but also think it is worth pointing out that most churches and indeed communities are exactly the same. While the core worshipping life of our parish church, our liturgy, remains mostly the same there have been many other changes and I believe these have been necessary and for the greater good. Some have not been easy to bring about and lessons in resilience and single mindedness have also been learnt by myself and lay leaders. However, there is no doubt in my mind that in order to preserve this beacon of faith at St Andrew’s for many generations into the future, we needed to accept that change was both necessary and healthy. It is superb that we have had a majority of the PCC over these years who have understood this and embraced it. COURAGE In 2009 the PCC set its course and much of my time and energy has been invested in trying to implement that vision which flowed from the ‘Parish Profile’ document created in 2008 to recruit a new vicar. Archbishop Donald Coggan used to finish interviews with his clergy by saying 'don’t take care, take risks'. If our PCC hadn’t followed this advice and had instead followed the 'better not' siren voices there would have been no Ark or parish office, no new national award winning magazine with universal and free delivery and arguably no serious commitment to focusing on and investing in the urgent task of taking the gospel to children and young people. What has been needed is courage to take the plunge once the course was prayerfully set. In the same way, some difficult issues, which had arguably been avoided for decades, have needed courage to finally address, and now this has happened, the way is clear for new work and opportunities. Sadly there are too many examples of churches that, while full of good intentions, never reach their full potential because of a lack of courage to face down inevitable opposition to change. I thank God that I have been able to work with some fine and courageous colleagues on the PCC who have helped lay the foundations for all that is now planned. CONFIDENCE Finally, I believe that we have been taught to have more confidence, under God, in what we are seeking to do as the church for Charvil, Sonning and Sonning Eye. Too many churches limit the scope of ambition that God has for them and often it is an issue of confidence. Yet if we truly believe that we are the body of Christ, and if we fully put our trust in God and his direction for our church, the possibilities are endless. I believe the magazine is a powerful symbol of this growing confidence, and was delighted to receive this feedback recently from someone who had seen it for the first time: 'it has a fantastic range with Jesus bubbling all the way through.' Praise be to God for that.

  • ID No Comment
    M3: General comments on minerals strategy ID No Comment 441 (Defence Infrastructure It is evident from Background Paper No 3 that MOD safeguarding interests are clearly identified within the draft plan. Organisation) Chapter 5 outlines the potential birdstrike risk associated with restoration schemes within an MOD safeguarding consultation zone and acknowledges that mitigation will be necessary to reduce the birdstrike risk. I can therefore confirm that the MOD has no objections to the draft plan however it is crucial that the MOD is invited to comment further once specific sites have been allocated to ensure that the birdstrike risk is appropriately addressed. 168 (PAGE) Policy M3: Strategy for the location of mineral working 6. The identification of the new area of working at Cholsey is broadly supported as the southern site to replace Sutton Courtenay when supplies expire around 2020. Cholsey is closest to the demand nodes and has limited risk of flooding. Continued extraction is supported at the existing areas of working (the Lower Windrush Valley, Eynsham/Cassington/Yarnton, Sutton Courtenay, and Caversham). These sites can provide sufficient resources to meet the above supply requirements and are well located to the principal centres of demand - i.e. where significant housing development is proposed - at Oxford, Witney, Didcot and Wantage & Grove. In addition they are well located to the strategic transport network to access centres of demand in the north of the County at Banbury and Bicester. 7. Notwithstanding this broad support, the policy as drafted is objected to: the wording should be amended so as not to necessarily restrict working at the reserves at the Lower Windrush Valley, and at Eynsham/Cassington/Yarnton.

The project was commissioned by Mr Paul Browne, of Mott MacDonald, Demeter House, Station Road, Cambridge, CB1 2RS. This report comprises the first stage of a process to determine the presence/absence, extent, character, quality and date of any archaeological remains that may be affected by redevelopment of the area. Site description, location and geology A site visit was made on 8th July, 2002, in order to determine the current land use on the site. The Caversham Lakes site comprises approximately 250ha, and is bounded to the south by the northern bank of the River Thames, and to the north by Henley Road. Access onto the site is via Marsh Lane, from Henley Road. The site comprises an irregular shaped parcel of land occupied by several large lakes, occupying the sites of former gravel quarries, a marina, open space and one active gravel working.

P/20/S3501/FUL) Address: North Lake, Caversham Lakes, Henley Road Proposal: Change of use of an established lake for recreation and sports purposes Applicant: Cosmonaut Leisure Ltd. Date received: valid by SODC on 21 September 2020 Application target date: SODC target date: 4 May 2021 RECOMMENDATION: That South Oxfordshire District Council (SODC) be informed that Reading Borough Council raises an OBJECTION to the proposal on the following transport grounds: 1. Insufficient information has been submitted with the planning application to enable the highways, traffic and transportation implications of the proposed development to be fully assessed. From the information submitted, it is considered that the additional traffic likely to be generated by the proposal would adversely affect the safety and flow of users of the existing road network within Reading, contrary to Policies TRANS4 and TRANS5 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035; 2. The proposed development does not comply with the Local Planning Authority’s standards in respect of pedestrian facilities and, as a result, is in conflict with South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035 Policies TRANS2 and TRANS5; and 3. That SODC is sent a copy of this report for their information and use. 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Council has been notified of an application within the adjacent authority area (within South Oxfordshire District) which directly adjoins the Borough boundary in the eastern extremity of Caversham (Emmer Green ward). The site currently has an undeveloped appearance and was formerly a gravel extraction pit, which ceased operation approximately ten years ago.
