REPORTS FROM CENTRAL BEDFORDSHIRE COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVES Cllr. Drinkwater had supplied the following report: I have been requested by a few members of the public to ask for a Salt Bin to be positioned at the top of Fakeswell Lane. This access is not good and with the snow and ice it becomes hazardous especially with the school bus reversing down into the road in the morning and afternoon. CBC no longer provide additional bins, it’s now left for the PC’s to provide and so l am asking on the residents behalf that you consider the purchase of a salt bin at this location.

  • Thomas Parrott of Shillington
    by Margaret Lewis (1177) in association with Wayne Parrott (775) and Harald Reksten (522) Born around th e time of the English Reformation, during the reign of Henry VIII, Tho­ mas Parrat of Shillington, Bedfordshire, was to live through th e turbulent times of th e succession of Henry's children, and then th e golden age of Elizabethan England. Al­ th ough spending most of his life in Shillin gton, Thomas was probably born in Luton, around 1535, based on the marriage date of his eldest son (1574). It has been sug­ gested that he is one of the sons of Thomas & Agnes Parret of Luton. This Thomas signed his will in 1558 at which time his son Thomas was aged less than 21 years, so it is a possibility. Whatever his origin, Thomas was obviously a man of means, and is frequently re­ ferred to as gentJeman in documents, as were his sons. H e managed to acquire quite a range of property during his lifetime. As well as holding property in Luton, S hilling­ ton and Upper Stondon in Bedfordshire, he also had land and farms in the parishes of Old Weston, Brington, By thorn, and Leighton Bromswold in Huntingdonshire. It is believed that he was the builder of the present day Model Farm in Old Weston. Thomas married some time before 1570 when he first appears in the Shillington regis­ ter. Based on his will he had four children before this time - namely Thomas (who married 1574), Robert (married by 1592), Mary (married in 1590) and Abraham (also married in 1590).

  • Kelly's Trade Directory Biggleswade - 1898
    Home Kelly's Trade Directory Biggleswade - 1898 I have transcribed the directory exactly as written, complete with abbreviations and punctuation that seem rather peculiar to us now. BIGGLESWADE is a market and union town, head of a petty sessional division and county court district, with a station on the Great Northern railway, 45 miles from London by the high road and 41 by rail 10½ south-east from Bedford and 11 north from Hitchin, in the Northern division of the county, hundred and rural deanery of Biggleswade, archdeaconry of Bedford and diocese of Ely, bordered on the west by the river Ivel, formerly navigable from its junction with the Ouse at Tempsford, about 4 miles distant, but in pursuance of the "Ivel Navigation Act" of 1876, the locks have been allowed to fall into disuse. The town was formerly governed by a Local Board, created by an Order of the Bedfordshire County Council, February, 22, 1892 but under the previous of the "Local Government Act, 1894" (56 & 57 Vict. ch. 73), it is now under control of an Urban District Council of 12 members; it is well lighted with gas supplied by a company, and water is obtained from springs in the neighbourhood. The church of St Andrew is an edifice of sandstone, in the Perpendicular style, consisting of chancel, clerestoried nave of four bays, aisles, south porch and an embattled western tower, rebuilt in 1720, and containing a clock and 5 bells : the chancel. rebuilt in 1467, by John Ruding, retains its piscina and sedilia for three priests, but the former has no basin and is now used as a credence table; a beautiful alter-piece, representing the "Last Supper", was presented by Charles Barnett esq.

  • Review Ofupper Stondon Information.Pdf
    Review of - 170531_area_d_assessments Upper Stondon We have found a number of significant errors in the report. It separates Upper and Lower Stondon and lack clarity on where the break of the two areas is. The break between the two is a green area. Upper Stondon has at most 3 houses and the Church along with two small commercial areas. It is not good to separate the two areas of the same Village! Stated Stondon is a village in the east of Central Bedfordshire and has a population of 2,300 people and contains 1,110 dwellings (population and dwellings combine Upper and Lower Stondon)350. The settlement is around 10 miles east of Flitwick and around 7 miles south of Biggleswade. Stondon is divided into two sections, Upper Stondon and Lower Stondon, with Lower Stondon being the larger of the two villages. Correction Why are Upper and Lower Stondon looked at separately? There is no real separation. The number of dwellings is 1023 based on last precept. Stated. Upper Stondon does not contain any services and facilities. Upper Stondon has 1 small Leisure Strategy site, whilst Stondon as a whole has a surplus of formal large recreation areas, play areas for children and facilities for young people. However, there is a deficit of informal large recreation areas, small amenity spaces and allotments. Correction This seems to contradict the information provided for Lower Stondon. There is no small Leisure Strategy site in Upper Stondon. Stondon as a whole has allotments and a range of spaces. http://www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/Images/stondon-leisure-schedule_tcm3-22084.pdf Stated However, there is a deficit of informal large recreation areas, small amenity spaces and allotments Correction There are:- Two large recreation areas (Hillside Road, Pollards Way) Allotments (since 2012 and 60 plots) What are amenity spaces? A large number of play areas.

  • Development & Infrastructure Central Bedfordshire Council Priory House
    Development & Infrastructure Central Bedfordshire Council Priory House Monks Walk Chicksands SHEFFORD SG17 5TQ Date: 3rd August 2020 RE: Local Plan updates Thank you for the information on the Local Plan and revisions. I stand by my original submissions but have the following points to add. Site HAS08 Land to the South East of Greenway Campton. The published size of the site in the Medium and Small sites in table 7.8 indicates a size of .47 hectares which seems small to have 66 houses built on it. If the site has been reduced to .47 I welcome this and propose that 20 to 23 houses would be more in keeping with a site of this size and location. In addition, I understood that this development was planned to mirror the other side of Greenway and that it would not be an estate development. The proposal sent around by the developer has been deliberately designed to allow additional developments in the future. These would be totally out of keeping with the village size and character as well as creating more issues with traffic, schooling and healthcare. A507 The technical report clearly identifies the issues and problems associated with the A507 particularly the area around Shefford and onwards to the A1M and also toward the M1. I do not feel the proposed road improvement at the Airman Public House will improve the situation, particularly with the increased traffic from Shefford, Stondon and Meppershall. The additional developments in progress, or proposed, along this corridor are way beyond the capacity for the existing road.
