    Newsletter July 2020

    Hemingford Grey Parish Council Newsletter July 2020 Notes from the Chair There’s no denying the last four months or so have not been easy and unfortunately there are still likely to be difficult periods ahead. However, as we carefully and gradually come out of lockdown, it's right that we start looking towards the future. The pandemic has shown us that, people suddenly confined to their homes and locality discovered a world and community literally on their doorsteps that they’d either forgotten about or had been too busy to engage with. I believe that hope can be found in this, and particularly in the resurgence of community spirit. The numbers who volunteered for the HemingfordHub or just helped out a neighbour demonstrate that when the going gets really tough, we come together to support each other. And, when individuals from across the local community join forces, these actions become all the more powerful. So perhaps the one “silver-lining” of the coronavirus outbreak and the enforced lockdown, could be a lasting and positive effect on community engagement. To that end, in this edition of the newsletter, we update you on some of the initiatives that Parish Council are already taking forward and ask you to join us. That could be as simple as watering one of our recently planted trees, getting involved in one of our forthcoming events, such as the rescheduled litter pick, joining one of our working groups, or becoming a Parish Councillor. But whatever it is, you decide to do, or how much time you can offer – let’s take something positive out of the last few months.

    1 Agenda Item No: 4 ST IVES BRIDGE CHAPEL

    Agenda Item No: 4 ST IVES BRIDGE CHAPEL – MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND POTENTIAL FUTURE USE To: Assets and Investment Committee Meeting Date: 16th December 2016 From: Deputy Chief Executive, Chris Malyon Electoral division(s): St Ives Forward Plan ref: N/a Key decision: No Purpose: To propose a formal agreement with the Norris Museum to manage the Chapel of St Ledger, St Ives River Bridge on behalf of Cambridgeshire County Council. Recommendation: It is recommended that the Committee; Agree the proposed draft agreement set out by the Norris Museum for management of the asset. Officer contact: Name: Stephen McGee Post: Bridge Engineer – Highway Projects Email: [email protected] Tel: 01223 715652 1 1. BACKGROUND 1.1 St Ives River Bridge and Chapel is a 15th century six span stone arch structure and is noted for being only one of four bridges in England to incorporate a chapel. The structure is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and Grade 1 listed and therefore any structural or fabric alterations must be approved by Historic England. 1.2 The bridge was originally a toll bridge under the ownership of the Duke of Manchester. By 1921 the bridge had fallen into disrepair and the Duke sold it to Huntingdonshire County Council (predecessor to Cambridgeshire County Council). Since 1921 the bridge has been the responsibility of the County Council, forming part of the highway asset and therefore maintained as such. 1.3 Legal records show that the Chapel wasn’t included at the time, but was sold separately under another conveyance dated in 1928 from Mence & Mence to the County Council for the Administrative County of Huntingdon.
