  • Minutes of a Meeting with Bedford Borough Council Highways Department, Borough Cllr. T. Wootton, and Representatives from Staplo
    Minutes of a Meeting with Bedford Borough Council Highways Department, Borough Cllr. T. Wootton, and representatives from Staploe, Little Staughton, Colmworth and Bolnhurst and Keysoe Parish Councils on Wednesday 19th February 2020 at 2pm at Keysoe Village Hall, Keysoe Row West, Bedford MK44 2JE Present: Andrew Prigmore (Bedford Borough Council Highways Dept.), Borough Cllr. T. Wootton, Lucy Crawford (Clerk to Staploe Parish Council), Cllr. Veronica Zwetsloot (Staploe Parish Council), Cllr. Kevin Head (Little Staughton Parish Council), Cllr. Gordon Johnstone (Wyboston Parish Council), Cllr. Martina Perry (Bolnhurst and Keysoe Parish Council) and Cllr. Beverley Brightman (Colmworth Parish Council). Apologies: Gareth Turner (Bedford Borough Council Highways Department) 1. Consider the introduction of a 50mph limit on Bushmead Road All the parish councils represented supported the introduction of reduced speed limits on the Bushmead Road to a maximum of 50mph but KH suggested it should be 40mph in places. They recounted witnessing several nasty accidents on the road (one requiring an airlift to hospital). They also recounted many near misses some of which they believed were due to large HGV’s passing at speed when the road is not wide enough and cars being forced into the middle of the road by potholes. They acknowledged that recent repairs had improved the worst areas of the road but were concerned that some areas with failing patches had not been addressed. Andrew Prigmore explained that the worst areas had been repaired at a cost of approximately £70K but they had to choose the worst areas due to their limited budget. He reported that police data showed that none of the accidents on the road had been directly caused by excess speed.

  • 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".

  • Reflections & Prayers for Sunday 11 October 2020
    Reflections & Prayers for Sunday 11th October 2020 This week we look at Stewardship. During lockdown, many have used their gifts, abilities, and talents God has given by sewing masks, scrubs, or doing shopping for those isolating – all ways of loving our neighbours. Today Tom Venner helps us look at loving God with our money. 1 Contents Reading for this Sunday p. 2 Reflection p. 3-5 Prayers p. 6-7 Parish Prayers p. 8-9 Gospel Reading Luke 18:18-30 A certain ruler asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. You know the commandments: ‘You shall not commit adultery; You shall not murder; You shall not steal; You shall not bear false witness; Honor your father and mother.’” He replied, “I have kept all these since my youth.” When Jesus heard this, he said to him, “There is still one thing lacking. Sell all that you own and distribute the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.” But when he heard this, he became sad; for he was very rich. Jesus looked at him and said, “How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God! Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” Those who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?” He replied, “What is impossible for mortals is possible for God.” Then Peter said, “Look, we have left our homes and followed you.” And he said to them, “Truly I tell you, there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, who will not get back very much more in this age, and in the age to come eternal life.” 2 Reflection from Tom Venner It is commonly said that one should not speak of religion, politics or money in polite society, but in today’s Gospel Jesus is challenging us to think of all three.
