Matters arising from the Minutes of the Meeting held on 17th May 2017 There were none. 5. To invite Dr James Cave from The Downland Practice to address the meeting Dr Cave explained how the retirement of two doctors, along with another doctor leaving and a further doctor on maternity leave had resulted in a challenging period for the practice. The Practice had received no applications for the vacancies but has now been successful in finding two doctors to join, however, the practice is still missing around 36-40 hours of doctor time which will currently be covered by a locum. Dr Cave confirmed that the Compton surgery will continue to be manned each morning and that there is a move to use Compton more in the future as the increase in part-time staff leads to a need for more space.

  • Historic Landscape Character Areas and Their Special Qualities and Features of Significance
    Historic Landscape Character Areas and their special qualities and features of significance Volume 1 EXTRACT Third Edition March 2016 Wyvern Heritage and Landscape Consultancy Emma Rouse, Wyvern Heritage and Landscape Consultancy www.wyvernheritage.co.uk – [email protected] – 01747 870810 March 2016 – Third Edition Summary The North Wessex Downs AONB is one of the most attractive and fascinating landscapes of England and Wales. Its beauty is the result of many centuries of human influence on the countryside and the daily interaction of people with nature. The history of these outstanding landscapes is fundamental to its present‐day appearance and to the importance which society accords it. If these essential qualities are to be retained in the future, as the countryside continues to evolve, it is vital that the heritage of the AONB is understood and valued by those charged with its care and management, and is enjoyed and celebrated by local communities. The North Wessex Downs is an ancient landscape. The archaeology is immensely rich, with many of its monuments ranking among the most impressive in Europe. However, the past is etched in every facet of the landscape – in the fields and woods, tracks and lanes, villages and hamlets – and plays a major part in defining its present‐day character. Despite the importance of individual archaeological and historic sites, the complex story of the North Wessex Downs cannot be fully appreciated without a complementary awareness of the character of the wider historic landscape, its time depth and settlement evolution. This wider character can be broken down into its constituent parts.

  • Church Magazine
    Church Magazine February 2016 Aldermaston and Woolhampton Benefice Beenham Midgham Woolhampton From the rector... was shopping in a large supermarket the other week and I found myself in the I ‘Seasonal’ aisle. It was a hive of activity because all the left-over bits from Christmas – the decorations and cards, chocolates and crackers – were being taken off the shelves so that Easter could move in. At the point at which I walked down the aisle there was a wonderful mixture of Christmas and Easter on the shelves – fluffy chicks and Easter eggs next to snowmen and reindeer. It struck me that this mixed up Seasonal aisle provided a rather nice picture of where we find ourselves in the Church year. The celebration of Candlemas which takes place 40 days after Christmas is a kind of crossroads between Christmas and Easter and marks the beginning of the journey from the ‘crib to the cross’ as one liturgy puts it. Candlemas – or The Presentation of Christ at the Temple – recalls the moment when Mary and Joseph brought their six week old son to the temple in Jerusalem. Watching and waiting in the temple courts stand two lone figures - an elderly man, Simeon, and an even older woman, Anna. To the casual observer Mary and Joseph would look no different from the many who flocked to Jerusalem fulfilling what the law required of them as an act of purification after childbirth and to present their first-born son at the temple as the Law of Moses required. But Simeon’s eyes alight on this one family among many and these old eyes opened by a life time of prayer and trust in God recognise that this was what he had been waiting for, he recognises in the baby Mary carries, the hope of Israel, the long-awaited light.

    I N D E X Page 1. Introduction 2. Early Successes 3. Background to the Plan 4. Parish Profile 5. History of Beedon 6. Issues Raised by the Questionnaire 7. Action Plan 1 I N T R O D U C T I O N The Steering Committee has pleasure in presenting the Beedon Parish Plan to all residents. We hope that it reflects the ideas and aspirations of the whole community and gives us a five-year action plan for the parish. The consultation has been thorough including meetings, a questionnaire survey and ongoing dialogue with West Berkshire Council officers and other agencies. The result has been that the Plan was formally endorsed by West Berkshire Council on 1st March 2011. The initial public consultation (Open Day at Beedon Village Hall) identified a number of key areas of concern and the purpose of this plan is an attempt to progress these concerns towards resolution, to increase communication across the parish and ensure that all sections of the community are involved in the decision-making process which affects our future and that of our children. We are privileged to live in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Let us work together to protect our environment, preserve our historic buildings, provide a safe place for our children and achieve the targets identified and set out in the Plan. This will all take time, but if we work together we can achieve great things now and in the future. Thank you all for your input. Date: March 2011 2 EARLY SUCCESSES 1.
