When Arranging Funerals Either in the Comfort of Your Own Home Or in the Pleasant Surroundings at Fern House 72 Coggeshall Road, Braintree CM7 9BY LETTER FROM THE EDITORS Advent draws near! As we approach Christmas and the New Year, perhaps we should start by looking back to our Remembrance Service at Bardfield Saling on 11th November. It was very moving to see the cardboard figures in the pews of those who had lost their lives, and a reminder as we come to happier times of the sacrifices made. We are grateful too for Mo’s efforts on the memorial in the centre of Great Saling and the support for this from the Great Saling Action Group. To celebrate Christmas we have our traditional Carol and Christingle Services - see page 3. And this year, especially if you have young children, why not join in the Christingle making at Parks? The maga- zine also has some interesting material on the meaning behind the twelve days of Christmas (see page 15) and mistletoe (page 19). Added to which we have our Salings Christmas Celebration see page 4. And if you wander along to the Bool Room that evening you can get an update on our work on the Neighbourhood Plan. Christmas is also a time when we remember those less fortunate - so can we draw your attention to the advert for the Braintree Foodbank on p5, and to that for CHESS, the Chelmsford homeless project, on page 9. So, let us close by expressing a warm THANK YOU to our read- ers, distributors, contributors and advertisers! With our best wishes for the Christmas season and a successful 2019.

Deaf/hard-of-hearing - NGT TextRelay 18001 101 3 4 CHRISTMAS APPEAL: The foodbank has recorded a 65% increase in demand since last year and I am asking every- one please to give generously to our Christmas collection this year. Food donations will be collected by the PCC's following the services at Great Saling Church on 2nd December and at Little Saling Church on 9th December. Your donations may also be left in the churches in the days prior to the services if you are unable to attend. Sadly many families are now having to choose between eating and heating. Please do help if you can. With many thanks, Rev. Helen Pelly 5 Dear Friends, A Google search on my computer just now offered me 905 million hits for the phrase “Come Home for Christmas”. From this mere fact I conclude that, a) there are lots of versions of a song with that name and b) coming home for Christmas is an important thing for people all over the world. So, are you going home for Christmas, or are your family coming home to you? Often, we answer that question differently depending on our age, and what generation of our family we are in. Where, indeed, is home? Is it where you live, where your parents live, where you were born, or where your an- cestors come from? Different people will use these different definitions, and in their own way they are all valid. Famously of course the Holy Family went home for the first Christmas – Jo- seph and Mary had to travel to Joseph’s ancestral town of Bethlehem for the census. It makes me glad ours are done by post or over the net these days! Because of course upon arrival ‘home’, Joseph and Mary couldn’t find any accommodation so Jesus was born among the farm animals and slept in a manger. Although he was in one sense born “at home”, Jesus was actually born homeless, and would spend much of his ministry wandering, without perma- nent accommodation. Many people today are rather rootless too, moving frequently for work, or because of family circumstances. Sometimes it is hard to work out where home is, and we can easily become like Marvin Gaye (or Paul Young if you’re under 50) and say “Wherever I lay my hat, that’s my home”. But, for the sake of a stable (no pun intended) emotional and physical life, having a place to call home is very important for us. At Christmas it is appro- priate for us to pause and remember those in our society who are homeless – and please remember to support the Food bank when you do your Christ- mas food shopping. However this year, I’ll be thinking a lot about what it means to “come home for Christmas” in a spiritual sense. I believe that God is calling us to be his family, his children, and to come to him in faith, not just at Christmas but for all of our lives. On January 10th 2019 in St Mary’s Stebbing, the next Alpha Course, for all residents of the Pilgrim Parishes, begins at 7pm. So, if you want to know more about coming home to God, please call Angie on 01371856696, and in the meantime have a wonderful Christmas and a peaceful New Year. With best wishes, Tim 6 Celebrate Christmas at one of our churches: ‘The Sweet Cookies’ Are putting on a concert on Sat- urday 26th January 2019 "Close harmony singing in a variety of styles, to suit all tastes” 6pm in St James Church, Great Saling, Tickets £5-00 to include drink & nibbles Tickets will be available: at coffee mornings, Christmas events or from Lydia Roe In aid of the fabric of Great & Little (Bardfield) Saling Churches. 7 Alpha course at St Mary’s, Stebbing starts 7pm Thurs 10 Jan 2019 & every Thursday until 28th March (12 weeks).

I first completed the northern Way of St James in the autumn of 2016. It's deeply satisfying for the soul when prayer, solitude and the unrelenting tread of boot leather come together. During the pilgrim- age, yellow arrows painted on lamp- posts guided me through mountainous terrain. I came to rely on these arrows in this unfamiliar, beautiful place. One year yielding to another can be unsettling. We look back at the past year and think of the unexpected things that happened. We know the year ahead is full of the unforeseen but hope that our loved ones and ourselves are kept safe from harm and sadness.

  • 2021 Feb Salings Magazine
    LETTER FROM THE EDITORS We are looking out over the last sprinklings of snow as we edit the magazine this month - waiting, like many residents, for warmer weather and the roll-out of the vaccines. Nonetheless, we did see our first snowdrops in Wethersfield Church last week - a promise of better times to come! Normally, of course, we take the opportunity of the editorial to high- light some of the forthcoming events. This has proved a bit difficult at the moment, as we do not know when it will be safe for the govern- ment to relax the COVID-19 restrictions and the ‘stay at home and protect the NHS’ message. This is a particular problem for events like our Fete and Car Display which have a long lead time. Many classic car clubs publish an annu- al calendar of forthcoming events, and we have to decide whether we want to be in it or not. To get round the problem, we have set up a new website dedicated to major forthcoming events in the Salings - stjamesgreatsal- ing.wordpress.com - and decided to tell car clubs that we are plan- ning for an event this year. The website will allow us to update people on changes to plans or specific government restrictions. And with regard to other adverts in the magazine - please phone and check their current status before making a journey! To all our readers, please stay safe, look out for your neighbours and let others know if you need help. Contributions to the next edition by the15th of Feb to: [email protected] 2 From Revd Janet Parker A small booklet and card had been popped through Mary’s door on Christmas morning.

    Preliminary Ecological Appraisal The Salings Neighbourhood Plan Prepared for: Great Saling Parish Council Bardfield Saling Parish Council August 2018 T4ecology Ltd 2, Elizabeth Way Heybridge Maldon Essex CM9 4TG Tel: 07546 946715 Email: [email protected] Web: www.t4ecology.eu Report Reference MH787 Version -Dated August 2018 Peter Harris Bsc (hons) MCIEEM This report is for the sole use of the client Great Saling Parish Council. No liability is accepted for conclusions/actions by any third party. All rights reserved T4 ecology Ltd 2018. August 2018 Page 2 of 51 1. Survey Finding and Recommendations Summary The survey element identified that protected and priority species have been previously recorded within the boundaries and are therefore currently, or have been present. In addition, key ecological features have been identified that will support such species. However, whilst present and identifiable, the main finding from the survey identified that the key ecological features are currently relatively disparate and isolated from one another. Therefore, it is critical to retain the features and networks from a strategic level down to a site by site level to ensure retention of key habitats and networks as part of a Neighbourhood Plan (NP). This report has set out the factors to consider in delivering such a strategy, identified the ecological processes that may need to be undertaken and makes recommendations for enhancement that could be included in future proposals. Consequently, in respect of these Parishes, it is concluded that in considering the NP, the focus should be upon encouraging and welcoming ‘good’ well designed schemes that retain key ecological features, that have been designed around ecological constraints and are also innovative in their approach to ecological management and enhancement right from the beginning of the design stage.

On the early pages of the magazine you will see adverts and requests for help for two of our major events over the summer - the Plant Sale on the early May Bank Holiday (May 7th) and our Salings Fete and Vehicle Display on 24th June. We do hope you will support these events with your presence, and if you have not already been ‘roped in’ to help (especially for the Fete & Vehicle Display) do get in contact with Colin Davidson. Now if you get as far as page 16, you will see that Great Saling Parish Council will be holding their Annual Parish Meeting on the 9th May 2018 at 7pm in the Millennium Village Hall.

The Salings is fortunate in having two of England’s 1,600 Reg- istered Parks and Gardens - Saling Hall and Saling Grove - and we are pleased to report on changes at both. First, there are new owners at Saling Hall, who introduce them- selves on page 12 - please make them welcome when you meet them! And for Saling Grove, there will be an exhibition focusing on Humphrey Repton’s work - who designed the gardens and parkland there - every Sunday over the summer from May to August in the Orangery at Saling Grove, from 2pm to 5pm.

  • Stebbing Directory
    Stebbing Scene Your Village — Your Magazine Edition No: 130 Summer 2014 Stebbing Scramble on Monday 5th May The annual Stebbing Scramble (see more overleaf) is one of the many events which tell us that the busy summer calendar is building once more. Then on the 11th May came another ‘boys and their toys’ event in the form of a Tractor Road Run in aid of Farleigh Hospice. Thanks to Dick Hughes for the report and photos - also over on page 2. In an attempt to brighten up the magazine we have added a colour centrefold and, to kick off what I hope will be a regular addition, the school have put together some impressions of their Community Month. We hope you will enjoy the modest splash of colour we have been able to add. Your Editor’s life has already been brightened up by the welcome addition to our small team of Karen Howe. She will be taking over from Jackie Kingdom as Deputy Editor and taking on responsibility for our advertising - more of Karen on page 3 (which unaccountably caused her some amusement). Richard Foot Editor 1 Classic Scrambles in Stebbing Dunmow and District Motorcycle Club was formed in 1951. Early events included Trials, Grass Tracks and Scrambles. The Scrambles have always been held at Stebbing, although the track is now on the opposite side of the road to the original. The Pre-65 Motocross Club run their scramble event at Stebbing in conjunction with the Dunmow Club. They specialise in organising classic motorcycle scrambles in the East of England, one competitor being Clint Wright from Stebbing.

  • Bardfield Saling and Great Saling and Has Resolved to Extend the Parish Boundary to Include the Unparished Area of Bardfield Saling
    LETTER FROM THE EDITORS Plenty going on in the Salings! The arrival of autumn won’t see any letup in our social activities this year - on page 6 of the magazine you can read about the Salings So- cial event on 14th September. As 73 of you said in the Residents’ Survey last year that you missed the pub, we are expecting a good turnout! If that doesn’t appeal, the Camerata Singers, advertised on page 11, are leading Evensong later in the month at St James. The results of Braintree District Council’s governance review have also been announced, notably: 1. To extend the Parish boundary of Great Saling to include the unparished area of Bardfield Saling 2. Increase the number of Parish Councillors from 5 to 6 3. Rename ‘The Salings Parish Council’ So we are pleased to see that BDC have caught up with this maga- zine! Meanwhile, the Millibar and Clubroom at An- drewsfield have now been registered as As- sets of Community Value by both Uttlesford and Braintree District Coun- cils, and so join the White Hart Tearooms in Great Saling which have the same designation. So we trust you will enjoy reading this magazine and take part in the various events which it advertises.

  • Spatial Strategy
    CHAPTER 3 – Spatial Strategy Paragraphs 3.1 – 3.3 This supporting text was responded to by 7 people/organisations. Support 0 Object 5 Comment 2 Overarching Summary The Plan is not ambitious enough – it should be a plan for the world in the 2020s. The garden communities provide the perfect opportunity for a sustainable local economy in the information age. The strategy is too focused on housing numbers at the expense of everything else. It is not clear when and where the houses are needed. Consider that a plan is needed, not a spatial portrait. The phrase garden communities conceals unpalatable truths. This plan is not sustainable due to the size and lack of infrastructure. The plan clearly does not respect the local character of Uttlesford and the villages to be directly affected by this plan, especially those nearby the West of Braintree site. Statutory consultees and other bodies Littlebury Parish Council – Uttlesford claims it wants to be one of the best places to live in the 2020s and beyond. The plan must be much more ambitious and embrace the world of the 2030s if it to achieve this. Aiming for a sustainable local economy in the information age should be a priority. The Plan should deliver world class broadband throughout the district, early development of new large employment sites to attract growing industries, development of a comprehensive network of non-fossil fuel transport links and build on the enviable local education provision to give young people a head start. The proposed new garden villages provide a perfect opportunity to do so.
