07583 532309 Newsletter www.haveringeastlondonramblers.btck.co.uk email: [email protected] Mobile: 07583 532309 Newsletter and Programme August to November 2019 We hope you enjoy the variety of the rambles that we do! Where might you lead walkers on a ramble? Page 1 Chair's Report Time flies by so quickly and here we are again with a new programme, which will take us up to the end of November. I would like to extend my thanks to the Committee, who continue to do an excellent job, and to the walk leaders who kindly give their time to take us on wonderful walks. Our last social, which was on 20th March, was a great success. I have now had the time to arrange our September social, which will take place on Wednesday, 18th September, 7pm at The Harrow Pub in Hornchurch. Further details to following in your e-newsletter. I do hope as many of you as possible can come along. On 17th October we have our AGM at Hornchurch Library. Three members of our Committee will be standing down. All of these committee members have done a tremendous job over the years, which is appreciated by everybody. I would like you to consider whether you would be able to help fill any of their roles. The roles available will be Treasurer, Membership Secretary and Webmaster/Communications. The time commitment for each of these roles is not significant over the year. The minimum time over a year for the Treasurer role is 6 days; Membership Secretary, 4 days; and 15 days for the Webmaster/communications role. Full training will be given for anyone who wishes to take any of these roles on. If anyone wishes to consider, or take on the Treasurer role, we would like to provide early training leading up to the AGM. By the time you read this programme you will have had the role profiles and more in-depth details, via your newsletters. Any time you can give to support the work of our group will be invaluable and will help us continue to provide co-ordinated and effectively communicated walks. Teamwork is everything. We can achieve great things if we pull together to strengthen our group Best foot forward and happy rambling. Ellen Page 2 Information and Web Master It seems strange writing this in June, with momentous things about to happen before the new programme you are reading expires. Will Brexit happen? Who will be the new Prime Minister? Who will be the new Webmaster? ‘I can’t do that’, you may say. Well perhaps not the first two, but certainly don’t rule out the last. What is the Webmaster Role? To be the public face of the group, and provide information to potential and existing members. To keep details of walks up to date, and notify members of changes. To maintain contact with RWH – advertiser. How is this done? The website is the public face of the group, which will be found on Google. Try Googling ‘walking Romford’ or ‘Ramblers Barking’ It has the essential information about the group. We use Mailchimp to circulate information. This is a bulk e-mail programme, which, once used, is a lot easier than talking about it. RWH Contact once a programme to find out if support for following programme and raise invoice. Technical skills. Modern software is written so that most people will be able to use the basic features straight away and develop skills for the more complex. Handover Obviously this is a brief summary. I would be happy to show you how the software works on your PC, and if something puzzles you then I would be happy to help. You don’t have to be a Computer Nerd to do this job, you will develop the skills very quickly. You may decide to change things - I hope that you do. It's a rewarding role. I started the webmaster role in September 2010. Over the years many have said how much they like the website, and the Newsletters. I thank each and every one for looking. Without you there would be little point in the post. All best Peter Page 3 Secretary’s Report The next AGM will again be held in the main hall at Hornchurch Library on Thursday October 17th, commencing at 7.30pm. This is a plea for assistance. Some of the committee are considering resigning and we do need replacements. Can you possibly join us? The job is not too arduous. Speak to anyone on the committee, they will give any help if needed. The group must continue. Ken Havering Footpath & Walking Environment Officer Vacant Walks Secretary Thank you to all walk leaders. As you can see from the gaps in this programme, new walk leaders are always needed. So if thinking of leading a ramble for the first time, we're here to help, please just ask. Marion GROUP MOBILE PHONE To receive text alerts (group members only please) of short-notice walk changes because, for example, you're not easily able to access email alerts sent out, please follow the instructions below. Remember to add the group mobile phone number 07583 532309 to your own phone contacts. To Subscribe, please text: OPT IN followed by your name. Your details will then be added to the group mobile CONTACTS list. To Unsubscribe, please text: STOP followed by your name. Your details will then be deleted from the group mobile CONTACTS list. Page 4 Dogs on Walks To comply with the Disability Equality Act (2010), we must allow registered assistance dogs to participate with their owners e.g. guide, hearing, service, therapy and seizure alert dogs. We will continue to let Walks Leaders decide whether to allow non-assistance dogs to participate in their walks. Walks: Information for Walk Leaders and All Ramblers Check our website (see page 1) for up-to-date walk information. Check the web calendar, found under 'Our Walks' on our website, to see what days are available when booking a day to lead a walk. Walk Leader's Checklist leaflets are available from the Walks Secretary. Remember to tell the Walks Secretary when submitting your walk if you don't want it to go on Walkfinder (no reason is needed, it's your choice). Information to help you decide whether you would like your walk included or excluded from Walkfinder entries on Ramblers.org.uk. As a general rule, London walks are added as Members Only (to keep numbers to a manageable level), with country walks going Public (unlikely to get too many walkers to be a problem). When we meet somewhere for forward travel (by car or train for example), these also don't get added (we can't give an accurate walk start time). No walk leader names or phone numbers are added on Walkfinder, instead we use the group name / email / mobile (see page 1) for the contact options. Page 5 Visit the Transport for London web site (tfl.gov.uk) to check your route and the availability of public transport before travelling, especially at weekends, to allow for the planning of alternative routes. Car Share Please car share where possible, as parking is often quite limited. Walking with the Ramblers All sporting activities have inherent hazards associated with them, and rambling is no exception. In spite of the safety of members always being the paramount concern, accidents will occasionally occur. It is therefore important that when entering into the activity, each member appreciates that they have a responsibility to identify the hazards associated with the activity, and take all reasonable steps to eliminate or minimize the potential for an accident to occur. The Ramblers Association is a company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales. Company registration number 445892. Registered charity in England and Wales Number 1093577. Registered office, 2 Floor, Camelford House, 87-90 Albert Embankment London SE1 7TW. Incident Report Forms - Revised Form Out Now!

  • 1 Conservation Casework Log Notes March 2018
    CONSERVATION CASEWORK LOG NOTES MARCH 2018 The GT conservation team received 136 new cases in England and TWO cases in Wales during February, in addition to ongoing work on previously logged cases. Written responses were submitted by the GT and/or CGTs for the following cases. In addition to the responses below, 47 ‘No Comment’ responses were lodged by the GT and 5 by CGTs in response to planning applications included in the weekly lists. Site County GT Ref Reg Proposal Written Response Grade ENGLAND Bristol Local Plan Avon E17/1570 n/a LOCAL PLAN Bristol Local Plan CGT WRITTEN RESPONSE 31.03.2018 Review We are grateful for the opportunity to comment on this Local Plan Review. As previously notified to you, The Gardens Trust, which is the statutory consultee on matters concerning registered parks and gardens, is now working closely with County Gardens Trusts, and the responsibility for commenting on Local Plan Reviews in this context has now passed to Avon Gardens Trust. The Trust notes that Policy BCS22 Conservation and the historic environment in the Core Strategy of June 2011, and Policy DM31 of the Site Allocations and Development Management Policies of July 2014 are proposed to be retained. The Local Plan Review consultation document makes a number of strategic proposals, for example to meet housing need, to provide new transport infrastructure, and in respect of employment, land. Such proposals may, depending on location, detailed siting and design, have an impact on registered and unregistered historic parks and gardens. 1 The Trust does not seek to comment on such proposals at the present time, but would expect to be engaged in its role as statutory consultee as and when the details of such proposals are known.

    Jinder Ubhi From: Laurie Baker Sent: 27 February 2018 19:38 To: Londonplan Cc: Peter Heath Subject: New draft London Plan Dear Sadiq Khan, I have consulted with members of the London Geodiversity Partnership (LGP) and these are the comments of the Partnership on the geodiversity aspects of the draft London Plan: Comments on Policy G9 Geodiversity In general there is an improvement on this section of the previous London Plan. Policy G9 is divided into two parts. On Development Plans, Part A, 1) and 2) are identical to the previous wording; do you see the previous reference to London’s Foundations as superfluous in the policy. For development proposals, Part B says “where relevant” but this is unnecessary. In B 2), developments should also protect SSSIs. In paragraph 8.9.2, when referring to SSSIs it should say “Interest” not “Importance” The paragraph states that “London’s geodiversity Sites are shown in Figure 8.1”. However, it says “National/Regional Geodiversity Importance” and the LGP would like SSSIs to be shown. (Peter: Does the map layer I sent you from Natural England work for you?) As they are part of the Plan, LGP would like LIGS also to appear (with correct LF numbers) on figure 8.1. On Figure 8.1, although it says the reference numbers come from SPG 2012, they bear no relation to London’s Foundations. The numbering of sites in LF should be used. In the table below, I have tried to allocate the number given in figure 8.1 to show the problem. I have tabulated the sites below, with the new sites 60‐72 marked with red numbers.

  • Traffic Noise Maps of Public Parks in Havering May 2018
    Traffic noise maps of public parks in Havering May 2018 This document shows traffic noise maps for parks in the borough. The noise maps are taken from http://www.extrium.co.uk/noiseviewer.html. Occasionally, google earth or google map images are included to help the reader identify where the park is located. Similar documents are available for all London Boroughs. These were created as part of research into the impact of traffic noise in London’s parks. They should be read in conjunction with the main report and data analysis which are available at http://www.cprelondon.org.uk/resources/item/2390-noiseinparks. The key to the traffic noise maps is shown here to the right. Orange denotes noise of 55 decibels (dB). Louder noises are denoted by reds and blues with dark blue showing the loudest. Where the maps appear with no colour and are just grey, this means there is no traffic noise of 55dB or above. London Borough of Havering 1 Bretons Outdoor Recreation Centre 1. Coronation Gardens 2.

The ALGG SPG document is guidance that is supplementary to London Plan policies. While it does not have the same formal development plan status as these policies, it has been formally adopted by the Mayor as supplementary guidance under his powers under the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (as amended). Adoption followed a period of public consultation, and a summary of the comments received and the responses of the Mayor to those comments is available on the Greater London Authority website. It will therefore be a material consideration in drawing up development plan documents and in taking planning decisions. The All London Green Grid SPG was developed in parallel with the area frameworks it can be found at the following link: http://www.london.gov.uk/publication/all-london- green-grid-spg .
