The Vicar's Letter
The Vicar’s Letter The Vicarage, Waltham Road, (corner of Foliejohn Way) Woodlands Park Telephone 01628 822000 Dear Friends, I have just heard the speaker in a ‘God slot’ on the radio talking about death. He began by suggesting that it is commonly assumed that Christians don’t really believe in death at all. Instead, he said, people think that Christians believe that when we die we go on living in some other realm or some disembodied form. And he went on: “Just to be clear: I believe nothing of the sort.... When you die, you die.” At this point, I was almost ready to applaud. Popular ideas about death, many of which are vaguely thought to be ‘Christian’, are often a long way from what the Bible really teaches about death. In particular, the idea that death is no big deal is actually a big lie, the product of wishful thinking and a misguided desire to offer some sort of comfort to the bereaved. But then the speaker went on to suggest that we should not find the reality of death depressing, because he felt that it is actually essential to living life fully. And that is where I have to part company with him, because the Bible — while certainly commending the wisdom of living life in the conscious awareness of its eventual end — sees death as a monstrous evil: a very real tragedy and a very real enemy.

Overview of Bridge Maintenance and Strengthening Works for 11-12
Overview of Bridge Maintenance and Strengthening Works for 11-12 General Management of Bridges/Structures The Royal Borough undertakes regular inspections of bridges and other highway structures to ensure public safety under the Highways Act section 41 in accordance with bridge code of practice 2005. These inspections identify works related to the condition of the structure and make recommendations for refurbishment, replacement or maintenance. Regular works include assessments that feed into the strengthening works programme; asset management activities to improve the processes for management of the structures’ stock and any temporary weight limits required prior to strengthening. These assessments may also consider the suitability of a structure to carry an abnormal load (e.g. mobile cranes). The Code of Practice for Highway Structures has also identified the need to complete detailed structural reviews of bridges every 12 years, to ensure that the load assessment remains to current standards, and is based on the current condition of the bridge. The following five structures assessments are overdue and have been identified as requiring an updated assessment in 2011/12 to comply with the National Requirements, and ensure they remain safe and serviceable. B418 Broomhall Lane – Sunningdale B422 Charters road – Sunningdale B425 Howe lane - Holyport B879 Plough Inn, B376 Horton road – Datchet B896 Fifteen Arch B3022 Slough Road - Eton. The assessment of these bridges would include determining both the safe load capacity of the bridges and any recommended repairs. Total costs for assessments to these 5 structures are £50,000 Specific Priority Works 2011/12 CG10 Blacknest Bridge, A329 London Road, Ascot. Blacknest Bridge carries the A329 London Road over a stream. -

ASCOG HOUSE AND MEIKLE ASCOG, ISLE OF BUTE, ARGYLL AND BUTE The history of the Ascog demesne goes back further than either of the two houses on it. In 1312 Robert the Bruce is said to have given Ascog to the Bute family of Glass. In 1594, the estate, including a mill, Loch Ascog and Nether and Over Ascog, was bought by John Stewart of Kilchattan, a distant kinsman of the Stewarts of Bute who became Earls and later Marquesses of Bute. Ascog House - John Stewart may have built the first house at Ascog, replacing an older tower. Despite the date of 1678 above one of the dormer windows, the original Ascog House was built earlier than that. With its stair tower and cap-house, it is of a type commonly built around 1600. In addition, in the wall of the present kitchen is part of a grand chimneypiece. This belonged to a great hall whose floor and ceiling were both at a higher level than today. In 1673 John Stewart of Ascog, grandson of the first John Stewart, married Margaret Cunningharn and it is their initials that are engraved on the house. They must have carried out a major reconstruction, lowering the floors to create two main storeys, and adding the dormer windows. John Stewart was rich enough to lend the Earl of Bute £9,385 to help re-build Rothesay Castle after damage in the Civil War. He was also crowner or coroner of Bute from 1666-98. During the 18th century, the original mullion windows of Ascog House were enlarged and fitted with sash and casement frames.
