Some studies suggest Coronavirus can live on paper and cardboard surfaces for up to 24 hours, and so any paper delivery represents a transmission risk. Local hand-deliveries also mean that delivery volunteers will touch gates and letterboxes and may come into close proximity with those who may be shielding. For these reasons, parishes have been encouraged to look to digital communication and telephone calls to keep in touch. Do please forward this magazine to others that may enjoy it. The magazine is also available online at: https://www.achurchnearyou.com/church/11789/news/ 3 BENEFICE LETTER Where do we go from here? As you read this, we will be not too far away from Advent and Christmas, and then of course the end of a year which has been for all of us like nothing we have ever experienced before. Along of course with the understandable questions “how has this pandemic happened, and why?” And the almost inevitable “where does God figure in all of this?” People often ask me about the God of Old Testament, seeing him as angry and vengeful as he watched people rejecting him and then punished them severely for breaking the covenant they had together. And more than one person has said to me that this pandemic is the wrath of God, nature biting back for the way we’ve treated His gift of Creation. But even in the Old Testament we see that God never abandoned his people-he always relented and brought them back into the fold. And in the New Testament of course we see the vulnerability of God-the helpless child dependant on human care and love. The young itinerant Rabbi relying on the help and hospitality of others. A man who cries inconsolably at the death of a friend; and a man who finally, abandoned by everyone, went humiliated, afraid and alone to torture and death. A man buried in a borrowed grave. Yet it was in this extreme helplessness and vulnerability that he defeated, on our behalf, a greater enemy than we face today. And if you want to talk of the wrath, or the anger, of God, just look at the way Rabbi Jonathan Sacks described it in a conversation with Steve Chalke; “it is perhaps better, and far more accurate to understand God’s anger as his anguish-a dimension of his love, but never an emotion in opposition to it.” God grieves and suffers with us, because He IS love and his love is redemptive, not vindictive. He stands with us through every time of trial and sorrow and is close to those in anguish. As St Augustine said, ‘God is closer to us than we are to ourselves’. And in a world that sometimes threatens to overwhelm us it’s important that we don’t lose sight of the things we know as we try to get to grips with questions we can’t answer. I find a great deal of comfort today in some words that Paul wrote in his letter to the Philippians- “do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your petitions to God. And the peace of God which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.” (ch4: v6-7) And we have been here before, haven’t we? The world has seen plagues, two major world wars, a Spanish flu pandemic, and now this. And once 4 again the determination to overcome has surfaced. 2000 years ago faith in Christ empowered ordinary people to do extraordinary things, and if there has been any kind of upside to this pandemic, perhaps it’s been in the way that we’ve also seen ordinary people do extraordinary things. Captain Tom. Frank Mills, a 6 years old with Spina Bifida walking 10 metres a day to raise money for the NHS. The dedication of those caring for the sick and vulnerable. The selflessness that’s come to the fore in our benefice and our communities as people look out for each other. All signs of hope that God will bring peace and calm to his troubled world- that as he so often does He will bring good out of evil. There is much talk of when we will “get back to normal”, but there is also a definite groundswell of opinion that the “old normal” is not fit for purpose. So as we look towards Advent let’s keep our focus on those things we know. We know that our Carol Service and Christmas services won’t be the same this year, but in our hearts we will still welcome the Christ child as we have done in years past; we will still give thanks for the gift of salvation to a broken world. Christ calmed storms, cast out demons and healed the sick, and he was called Immanuel- “Christ with us.” And that’s something else we know- He is with us now and has been for always. His part is-and has always been- to save. Ours is to trust. Richard Humphrey ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CHURCH OF ENGLAND & DIOCESE OF BRISTOL NEWS New app launched to encourage young people to explore the Bible in new ways. A new app has been launched that aims to encourage more young people to read the Bible. The LecDeck app provides users with a Bible passage, thought-provoking questions, a quote and a prayer focus. These are all based on the Lectionary – the cycle of biblical readings that runs year to year – and are designed to help young people engage with God’s word. This follows the successful launch of LecDeck in October 2019, originally as a pack of 52 cards used by families and youth leaders to explore the Bible. Dan Jones, creator of LecDeck and Youth & Children’s Adviser for the Diocese of Bristol, said: 5 “It’s been amazing to see The LecDeck establish itself as a versatile resource for both youth leaders and families alike. The positive feedback has inspired the writing team to make the Year B edition of the LecDeck more accessible, and we are so excited to announce the development of the LecDeck App for Android and Apple iOS formats. “The LecDeck App offers young people and youth leaders age-appropriate devotions that they can follow on their mobiles. Our hope is that the App will attract and encourage more young people to read the Bible and help them grow in their relationship with God." The Church of England follows a three-year cycle that dictates which Bible passages are focused on each week. Years A and B are currently available on the app and year C will be added in 2021. The app is available for a one-off payment of £5.99 for both Android and Apple iOS formats. Years A and B are included on the app and Year C will be added in 2021. Original packs of the LecDeck for Year A and Year B are still available and cost £8.00 each (free P+P in the UK). To purchase the LecDeck cards please follow this link to the Bath and Wells Diocese website: https://www.bathandwells.org.uk/2020/10/new-lecdeck-app-launched/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY 8TH NOVEMBER 2020 In recent years Remembrance Sunday has been a fairly quiet occasion at St Anne’s with, larger services and parades taking place at bigger churches and memorials locally.

  • Appendix4 A4174 Carriageway Maintenance History
    Appendix4 A4174 Carriageway Maintenance History The Avon Ring Road A4174 was completed over a 20 year period from the 1970s to mid 1990’s providing a ring road around Bristol from the A38 at Filton to the A4 Bath Road. Little carriageway maintenance has been required over the past 20 years due to the relatively new asset despite surfacing exceeding design lives. Maintenance is generally carried out in conjunction with other major schemes to reduce traffic disruption. Recent locations where maintenance has been combined with improvement schemes are; - Road Safety Improvements and signalisation of roundabout (Kingswood 2009) - Bridge joint repairs (Bromley Heath – July 2009) - Road Widening (Stoke Gifford Roundabout – 2010) - Public Transport improvements e.g. Bus lanes and road widening (Stoke Gifford– 2011) - Cycle and pedestrian improvements (Hambrook 2014) A major maintenance bid (£4million) was successful in 2005 to reconstruct the carriageway from the M32 junction through the MOD roundabout. Due to increasing traffic flows and an aging asset a significant proportion of the carriageway is becoming more and more in need of major maintenance. In order to achieve cost effective solutions the authority has investigated and trialled innovative maintenance techniques such as retecturing and rejuvenation. Recent carriageway maintenance schemes include:- Carriageway Resurfacing Road Name Locality Area – sq/m Year A4174 Filton Road Hambrook 688 2007 A4174 Ring Road Emerson Green 3,352 2011 A4174 Ring Road Siston 9,544 2011 Carriageway Retexturing Road Name Locality Area – sq/m Year A4174 Ring Road – Longwell Green 3000 2008 Marsham Way Rbt A4174 Ring Road – Downend 3,500 2008 Wick Wick Rbt Carriageway Preservation – Fort Seal Road Name Locality Area – sq/m Year A4174 Ring Road Downend 10,220 2010 A4174 Ring Road Siston 18,000 2010 Current Surface Condition photographs.
