    2018 to 2038 Pre-Submission Version Prepared by Holt Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group on behalf of Holt Town Council Council with support from: Photographs courtesy of Josh Dyall, Rodney Smith, members of the Steering Group and their friends. If you would like this document in larger print or in any another format please contact Town Clerk, Holt Town Council, [email protected] or telephone 01263 712149 2 Holt Neighbourhood Plan Pre-Submission Version v1 Holt Neighbourhood Development Plan Foreword Welcome on behalf of Holt Town Council and Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group to the Holt Neighbourhood Plan, which will have a positive impact on many aspects on the future of Holt. We have to be realistic about housing in that the necessity for more homes is nationwide and we shall not escape certain numbers being allocated to Holt. However, with the Holt Neighbourhood Plan addressing topics such as character, style and size, we at least have the opportunity to guide planning to suit the needs of our own residents and necessary infrastructure, as our Plan will be a document which gives legal weight. Neighbourhood Development Plans arise from the Government’s Localism Agenda to ensure that local communities are closely involved in the decisions that affect them. Through the aspirations and needs of the local community of Holt you have identified matters which will help to determine how our town changes over the coming years. The Holt Neighbourhood Plan has been developed over the course of the last few years and drafted by a Steering Group that includes Town Councillors, local business owners and representatives from the local community.

  • Mission Studies As Evangelization and Theology for World Christianity
    Mission Studies as Evangelization and Teology for World Christianity Refections on Mission Studies in Britian and Ireland, 2000 - 2015 Kirsteen Kim DOI: 10.7252/Paper. 000051 About the Author Kirsteen Kim, Ph.D., is Professor of Teology and World Christianity at Leeds Trinity University. Kirsteen researches and teaches theology from the perspective of mission and world Christianity, drawing on her experience of Christianity while living and working in South Korea, India and the USA, with a special interest in theology of the Holy Spirit. She publishes widely and is the editor of Mission Studies, the journal of the International Association for Mission Studies. 72 | Mission Studies as Evangelization and Theology for World Christianity Foreword In 2000 and in 2012 I published papers for the British and Irish Association for Mission Studies (BIAMS) on mission studies in Britain and Ireland, which were published in journals of theological education.1 Tese two papers surveyed the state of mission studies and how in this region it is related to various other disciplines. Each paper suggested a next stage in the development of mission studies: the frst saw mission studies as facilitating a worldwide web of missiological discussion; the second suggested that mission studies should be appreciated as internationalizing theology more generally. Tis article reviews the developments in Britain and Ireland over the years which are detailed in these articles and bring them up to date. It further argues that, while continuing to develop as “mission studies” or “missiology”, the discipline should today claim the names “theology for world Christianity” and “studies in evangelization.

Even schemes buoyed by a visit from the S of S for Transport are still at an early stage, eg Skipton - Colne at Decision to Initiate, and Ashington - Blythe – Tyne at Decision to Develop. No scheme can proceed into delivery until it has a Decision to Deliver. So, taken at face value, even Phase 2 of the Western section of East West Rail (Bicester - Bedford) has yet to be confirmed.

  • The Charles Harrison Collection of 'Concorde' Covers, Cards And
    First Session Lots 501–951 Monday May 23rd at 2 pm The Charles Harrison Collection of ‘Concorde’ Covers, Cards and Ephemera Charles Harrison (1924–2008) Most people will have their own memories of Concorde but for Charles Harrison, living only a few miles from R.A.F. Fairford, it will be the moment the British assembled Concorde prototype 002 touched down at 2.46pm on 9 April, 1969. Charles watched Concorde fly along the same flight path many times and never tired of hearing the roar of the engines and seeing the aircraft turning over Highworth, his home town, on its approach into the Fairford airfield. At the age of 15 Charles joined the Royal Air Force (1939) as an engineer apprentice and during the Second World War served in North Africa, Malta, Sicily and Italy as ground crew. Not one to miss an opportunity, Charles began to collect autographs from movie stars and entertainers on their visits to the troops. After the war he was stationed in Rhodesia and on leaving the RAF joined Vickers Armstrong at South Marston as a flight test inspector. Around the same time some of Concorde’s future pilots were Vickers Armstrong’s test pilots. In the 1950s Charles was involved with the Supermarine Swift, a single seat jet fighter, which could reach supersonic speed in a slight dive and it is not surprising that this is where Charles interest in supersonic flight and Concorde began. From Concorde’s early days at the Fairford Flight Test Centre to its commercial retirement, Charles arranged through friends and flight contacts for covers to be carried on many of Concorde’s flights including the development flights.
