  • Parish Profile for the Benefices of St James Church, Biddenham and All Saints Church, Kempston (Held in Plurality)
    The Diocese of St Albans Living God’s Love Parish Profile for The benefices of St James Church, Biddenham and All Saints Church, Kempston (held in plurality) Living to love God and serve our local communities Thank you for considering our benefices - we are grateful for your interest. First of all, can we show you a little of whom we are in a couple of photos? 1 1 Summary We are benefices in a period of transition: For years we have been two comfortable, warm parishes having many admirable features and serving an area of settled housing. We have been caring communities with a faithful core of members and full churches at the Christian festivals. We have had well maintained churches and a strong choral Eucharistic culture and active Sunday schools. But the world around us has changed. We are now surrounded by areas of new-build estates and a new village populated largely by un-churched residents looking for community. More generally we have an increasingly secular and consumerist culture where the preferred activities on Sundays do not include going to church. People have little knowledge of the Christian faith and therefore reject its validity. We recognise that we have to change: We need, with the help of our Vicar, to learn more about our faith and to increase our commitment to Jesus Christ and knowing Him as Lord and Master, so that we can take the Gospel out both into our traditional areas and into the new-build estates. We must develop an enthusiasm about our faith; otherwise nobody will listen to us.

  • CPC Draft Minutes March 2021
    Appendix 1 Borough Council Report to Parish Councils March 2021 Petition to improve flood defences Over the Christmas period there were worrying floods in the borough and these are becoming a more regular occurrence. Investigations revealed that the current flood action plan was drawn up in September 2015 whilst there was another risk assessment in November 2020 it is unclear to see how it follows from the action plan in 2015. In the 2015 plan there are several actions which are still ongoing, and it is unclear whether they have been completed. Therefore, a petition was started by the Conservative Group to review the causes of the local flooding and seek improvements to the flood defences. It also asks for more action to be taken to increase flood protection in the Borough. You can find more information here: http://chng.it/VYvBwZ8q This petition was accepted by Full Council on Wednesday 24th February and the Council has committed to set up a “water management forum”, to included Councillors, that will facilitate the promotion of good practice in our communities in relation to flood risk. Controversial route 'E' for East West Rail a source of increasing concern for Borough residents The chosen route selected for the East West Rail project - route E - continues to prove controversial and Borough Councillors received a petition this month, signed by over 1600 Bedford residents, objecting to it. The petition was debated at a heated meeting of the Borough Council on 24th February, when a number of residents from parishes in and around the route, put a series of questions to Council Leaders, and calling for the Council to "hold a full public consultation to be followed by a debate at Full Council in respect of the Council's decision to support Route E".

  • Marstonmarston Moretaine, Central Bedfordshire Marstonmarston Moretaine, Central Bedfordshire
    MarstonMarston Moretaine, Central Bedfordshire MarstonMarston Moretaine, Central Bedfordshire Marston Thrift represents a unique and exciting opportunity to create a viable and sustainable new village community of 2,000 homes close to Marston Moretaine in line with the Central Bedfordshire local plan. What you see here is only the beginning of the journey, we will deliver: • 2,000 new homes, including a range of home types and tenures. We will work with the country’s best housebuilders to craft homes of the highest quality. The range of homes will be designed around fresh air, green space and excellent connections • A 50 bed extra care facility • Two new lower schools and one new middle school, delivered alongside the new homes to cater for the increased demand for school places • A community hub with healthcare, retail, and leisure opportunities • Improved walking, cycling, and public transport facilities, including a dedicated ‘park and change’ facility • An extension to the existing Millennium Country Park, providing a significant new area of open space for new and existing residents to enjoy • A new community woodland delivered in partnership with the Forest of Marston Vale Trust, contributing to the overall objective of increasing woodland within the Marston Vale 1 2 Marston Thrift is not reliant on significant new infrastructure and benefits from the recently completed improvement work carried out on the A421. The site is free from physical constraints, in single ownership and has immediate accessibility to existing transport connections. We are therefore capable of delivering housing early within the plan period, with the first residential completions anticipated within three years, of obtaining an outline planning consent, helping to meet Central Bedfordshire’s strategic housing needs from the outset.

    National Character 88. Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire Claylands Area profile: Supporting documents www.naturalengland.org.uk 1 National Character 88. Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire Claylands Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper,1 Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention,3 we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas North (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which East follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. Yorkshire & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform West their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a East landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage Midlands broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will West also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Midlands East of Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features England that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each London area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental South East Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. South West The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.
