  • 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. THIS MAGAZINE Published bi-monthly, six times a year. Delivered free to all homes in White Waltham, Shottesbrooke and Woodlands Park.

  • Borough Local Plan: Submission Version (2017) 1 Foreword
    Borough Local Plan 2013 - 2033 Submission version Borough Local Plan: Submission Version (2017) 1 Foreword Foreword by Leader of the Council and the Lead Member for Planning We are delighted to present the Borough Local Plan for the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead. The Borough Local Plan promotes a sustainable pattern of development for the Borough until 2033. The new development that is proposed in this plan aims to provide for new housing and affordable housing to fulfil the needs of all of our residents, whilst at the same time protecting our valued natural and built historic environment and assets. The plan aims to protect and enhance those elements that make our Borough special in the eyes of not only our residents but all those who choose to visit, work and invest in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead. We are privileged to be home to one of the most recognisable and valued historic assets in the country, Windsor Castle and the Windsor Great Park which the Borough Local Plan seeks to protect not only for our own benefit but also for future generations. The Borough Local Plan is based on a substantial and robust evidence base and on the results of the consultation exercises we have carried out in the past, as guided by national policy and legislation. We have worked with partners including our neighbouring local authorities, statutory bodies and local communities and agencies, as well as considering the many emerging and adopted Neighbourhood Development Plans being prepared by parishes and neighbourhood forums. Planning often presents difficult choices and requires a balance of national policy and local wishes.
