Tempsford Times TEMPSFORD Issue 76 TIMES July/August 2019 The village magazine of Tempsford, Bedfordshire www.tempsford.org WELCOME TO “THE WHEATSHEAF” UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT TEMPSFORD SHOW SEPT 7th FULL SCHEDULE with all the details, classes etc IN OUR PULL-OUT CENTRAL SECTION www.tempsford.org PARISH COUNCIL ELECTIONS Elections for the seven positions of Councillors on Tempsford Parish Council took place on May 2nd . Six of the present councillors were nominated and re-elected unopposed. The 7th position was filled by co-option at the Parish Council meeting of May 20th. Lisa Filby had expressed an interest in becoming a councillor before the election and submitted her nomination to CBC by the due date. However, a slight error on the form which could have been corrected at the time of submission, was not spotted by the CBC office and so was not accepted. However it was later admitted and the Returning Officer allowed her name to be put forward for co-option. The Parish Council was therefore pleased to accept Lisa as its newest member at the recent meeting. We welcome her as a new and younger resident of Tempsford and look forward to her enthusiastic involvement in Council work. At the same meeting Adrian Besant was elected to be Chairman, and Simon Fraser as Vice Chairman in place of Jim Donnelly. We would like to thank Jim for all the years of excellent service he has given Tempsford Parish Council in this role.

It emerged in June that Central Bedfordshire Council (CBC) will announce a major retreat on one of the key parts of its Local Plan strategy, that of the vast numbers of houses proposed east of Biggleswade and in between Tempsford and Everton. The Local Plan shows where houses will be built in our area in the next 15 years and originally involved huge numbers being constructed around Biggleswade and Sandy. It is now more than a year since the Plan was approved - despite opposition from many members of the public and Independent councillors - but before it can be formally adopted by the Council, the Plan must be approved by a Government inspector. The inspector's public inquiry is currently ongoing and a number of the new Independent councillors have attended to express their concerns about the Plan. Adam recently spoke at the inquiry held by Inspector, Matthew Birkenshaw. He drew attention to the flawed process offered by CBC, citing the following: - The Plan was allowed to advance despite public opposition of more than 99% in some areas - Little justification of CBC's estimates of the number of houses required. - Lack of planning for infrastructure such as healthcare and education He also pointed out how little explanation there was for certain sites being selected and others not, and described the Council's Local Plan process as "a shambles", at which point the Inspector revealed something very interesting... But first some background. As mentioned above, when the Local Plan was being debated at the Council, CBC was very keen to include 5,000 houses proposed east of Biggleswade and the 10,000 in between Tempsford and Everton. Both huge developments. At the time Adam pointed out that CBC had very little evidence these were appropriate locations and eventually the Council agreed to put them in an appendix of 'sites for future growth'. To many, banish- ing them to this Appendix 7 was not enough. The Plan still implied they were suitable for development even if it wasn't going to happen immediately. At the inquiry, the inspector let slip that CBC had approached him to say it was now prepared to consider removing the whole of this Appendix 7 thus taking www.tempsford.org 4 the sites out of the plan completely. This was not something council officers had announced to councillors or to the public at any point. Adam approached a Council officer involved in the process and they admitted that although this change would have to go out to consultation, the removal of the sites was indeed something CBC would now like to consider. How things change! A date of 18th July has been announced for the inquiry to consider the formal removal of Appendix 7.

He showed us around, introduced Carlo, his chef, and made us most welcome. He spoke of his hopes for “The Wheatsheaf”; he has redecorated the restaurant and furnished it with new tables and chairs, and is going to fit new pumps and refrigerated cabinets into the bar to improve the range of drinks available. We had an excellent meal, beautifully and freshly pre- pared with an excellent flavour; the menu has a good selection of English fare as well as Italian, but do choose the Tiramisu on the desserts menu—it’s Carlo’s speciality—tell them I told you to try it. AB www.tempsford.org 5 The Tempsford Museum and Archives organised their first coach trip recently to the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire on June 15th with a coach of 30 people enjoying a very pleasant day out, leaving Tempsford at 9am. The weather held out for most of the day with just a twenty minute downpour after lunch. Most of those who went along, chose to do their own thing and walked around the 150 acre site, some of which was badly flooded with all the rain we have had recently. Some however, decided to go on a guided tour on a buggy, with a two course lunch included. These people were treated to a view of the only memorial relating to Tempsford on the site. This was a memorial to those who worked and flew from RAF Tempsford during WW2. (See photograph) Carole Gosling arranged for everyone on the coach to have a little Goodie Bag containing sweets, a drink and some savoury nibbles, which were enjoyed by all. The coach returned to Tempsford at 7pm and a good day was had by all. www.tempsford.org 6 In the Stuart Memorial Hall, Church End.

You may remember in my last letter I referred to “Thy Kingdom Come…” an initiative by the Archbishops of Canterbury and York to pray for our parishes and communities. You may also remember that Davina and I were going to walk between all four parish churches on Saturday 1st June! Well- we did it! My iPhone told me it was ten miles all round, some twenty thousand steps! Not only did we manage it, but also a number of others joined us, (including some dogs!). Some completed the whole walk, others just part of it. It was hot, about 24 degrees, but very rewarding! It has been suggested we do it all again in September! We’ll wait and see on that one! We prayed and chatted as we walked, as well as praying in each of the churches. You might think that walking ten miles is not such a great achieve- ment, but to be able to pray for all people, those who live in our parishes, those who travel in to work in our communities, is a basic element of our Christian faith. As I write this piece the commemoration for the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings is taking place. You can definitely describe this as a great achievement, as it marked the beginning of the end of the Second World War. The sacrifice of the soldiers, sailors and airmen of all nationalities, working together to overcome the tyranny of the occupying German forces. As Christians we are called to make sacrifices, it may not be that we are to give our life as Jesus did, but small sacrifices as part of our love for others. Perhaps we don’t think of them as a sacrifice in the normal sense of the word, but giving up something in order that others might have more than they might necessarily have, is a sacrifice. That may include time, and/or giving up an activity that we enjoy so that we can perform an act of kindness for someone else.

We have developed a range of services to facilitate this mission based upon our member's feedback. Our members told us that the options available for autistic adults without a learning difficulty can be very limited, as they often do not qualify for support. In response, Autism Bedfordshire began to develop a range of services for autistic adults in Bedfordshire who are at risk of social isolation but do not qualify for statutory support. Since then we have continued to grow and adapt to an increasing demand yet our vision has remained the same: to empower autistic adults across Bedfordshire. are run across the county for able autistic adults, these EVENING groups are supported by at least twMo EmMemPHbeISrs SoOf tLhUeT aIOduNltS services staff team. The groups meet regularly at the same venue enjoying a range of leisure activities that the group SOCIAL has planned to do.

  • 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.
