I gently explained, in a rather watered down way, the significance of the Fifth of November, with the rather nice local link that my predecessor in 1605, Robert Wright, was also chaplain to the then King, and was in attendance in Parliament, and therefore the vicar of Sonning was also spared being blown sky high on that historic day! I suppose the ‘elf and safety’ mafia have probably done for the traditional bonfire and home firework display, and perhaps this is the main reason why some children have lost sight of the historical link. Well, let us never allow such a muddle to befall the festival of Christmas so that children no longer hear of the wonderful message of the angels. Heaven only knows there are enough distractions in December which threaten to eclipse the birth of the Christ child, but year by year, churches around the world are filled to capacity with those coming to worship the new born King. From a Christian’s point of view, coming together for this celebration is a natural response, but any realist knows that at least some of those who join us for our main services in December are not regular churchgoers, and maybe some would not even regard themselves as Christians, and yet still they come. I am always delighted to welcome new faces to St Andrew’s and we are certainly blessed with lots and lots of them at Christmas. I suspect that one of the reasons for this is that coming to church is part of a traditional Christmas for many, with the (huge) tree, carols by candlelight, the crib, advent ring, bells, choirs, midnight mass and of course interesting and brief sermons from the clergy! Long may that continue, not just because it is the bread and butter of what the church does at this time of year, but also because it is part of this country’s heritage; of what makes us British, and arguably that Christian heritage is being marginalised as never before. Traditions and customs matter, not just in a faith, but also in the life of a nation, and we should cherish this major Christian festival, not just because of the precious gift of Christ, but because it is so much part of our nation’s culture. It has been really good to journey with our adult confirmation course members as they have explored the Christian faith, and it has been a pleasure to see the group grow and develop. When working with either adults or children in the field of teaching the faith, one is reminded of the centrality of Jesus in all that we believe as Christians. His birth at Bethlehem was an event which changed the world forever, and his teachings, if applied to our own lives, will transform us for the better. The gift of Christ, unlike all the other gifts of Christmas, will never be tired of, wear out, or let us down. That eternal gift is on offer to all, whoever or whatever we are. This year at St Andrew’s, as well as our charming nativity set inside the building, we will be transforming the south porch (nearest the St Sarik room) into Bethlehem’s manger. A large nativity set has been bought with a legacy in memory of baby Lewis Kettle, and so we shall transform that ideal space into an outside Christmas witness. Do come down and have a look. Weather permitting it will feature in the crib service on Christmas Eve as well. I do commend the use of nativity sets at home, especially homes with children, as a reminder of the reason for the celebration. They speak to us of the powerful message of God coming to live among us, in the most humble of circumstances, and they help concentrate the mind in the midst of the tinsel, turkey and trash on TV! Caroline, Alice and Annabelle join me in wishing you all a blessed Advent and a very happy Christmas, when it comes. Warm wishes.

    From: Sent: 27 March 2020 11:36 To: [email protected] Subject: GE202003362 - ONR resposne to Wokingham Borough Council Local plan Update Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Completed Dear Sir/Madam, In response to your emails dated 3 February and 18 March regarding the 2020 Wokingham Borough Local Plan Update consultation, please find below ONR’s response, which is provided in line with our Land Use Planning policy published here http://www.onr.org.uk/land-use-planning.htm. Since ONR responded to the previous draft Local Plan Update consultation on 21 January 2019 (see email below) the proposed development locations included in the draft local plan have significantly changed. Additionally, the Detailed Emergency Planning Zone (DEPZ) for the AWE Burghfield site has been re-determined by West Berkshire District Council under the Radiation (Emergency Preparedness and Public Information) Regulations (REPPIR) 2019 resulting in a larger DEPZ. ONR’s current position remains that we would be likely to object to: • developments within the DEPZ, unless the West Berkshire District Council emergency planner provides adequate assurance to ONR that any adverse impact on the operability and viability of the off-site emergency plan could be mitigated. • large scale developments within the circular 5km Outer Consultation Zone (OCZ), which extends beyond the DEPZ from grid reference SU684680, unless the West Berkshire District Council emergency planner provides adequate assurance to ONR that any adverse impact on the operability and viability of the off-site emergency plan could be mitigated. ONR has previously responded regarding the two development locations below which are included in both the 2018/19 Local Plan Update consultation and the 2020 Local Plan Update consultation: 1.
