    “The Big Society is about transforming the way that the state and services function so that ordinary people are enabled to play a bigger part in meeting the challenges we all face. In its work with the RSA on Citizen Power, Peterborough City Council is leading the way in developing practical models for how this can be done” Gareth Davies, Head of the Prime Minister’s Strategy Unit “Places change for the better when you give people the power to do things differently. That takes courage and genuine commitment to new thinking and ways of working on the ground. Citizen Power is an excellent example of this” Irene Lucas, Former Director General, Department for Communities and Local Government “Citizen Power is one of the best projects on civic renewal to have emerged in recent years.

  • Dunstable and the Surrounding Area
    Dunstable and the surrounding area Excellent transport links between St. Pancras and Luton Parkway railway stations means Dunstable is easily reached from London. Excellent road links mean Cambridge is easily accessible and Luton Airport puts Dunstable in touch with cities from all over Europe Dunstable is the oldest charter town in Bedfordshire and is currently home to approximately 36,000 residents, who regularly elect their own Town Council and Central Bedfordshire Council representatives to manage local affairs. Dunstable is fiercely proud of its rich heritage yet, whilst it may be steeped in history, it is very much a town in the present, working towards a bright future. The Grove theatre which opened in 2007 provides Dunstable with a 780-seat purpose built arts and entertainment centre. The development which includes accompanying bars and restaurants overlooking the beautiful re-landscaped Grove House Gardens, provides a striking heart to the cultural identity of the area and a venue for a variety of events. Priory House Heritage and Tourist Information Centre also offers a full programme of entertainment and exhibitions as well as an insight into Dunstable’s amazing past. ZSL Whipsnade Zoo, formerly known as Whipsnade Wild Animal Park, is a zoo and safari park located at Whipsnade, near Dunstable in Bedfordshire. It is one of two zoos that are owned by the Zoological Society of London, a charity devoted to the worldwide conservation of animals and their habitats. Neighboring Luton is the home to Stockwood Park Discovery Centre and Wardown Park and Museum both of these are well worth a visit and are accessible by public transport.

This consultation seeks views on draft regulations concerning the interoperability of the railways. These regulations are necessary to meet the requirements of the Interoperability Directive 2008/57/EC which recast earlier versions and the deadline for implementation was 19 July 2010. The recast Directive contained new provisions for type authorisation of vehicles. It also has provisions for the reauthorisation process for vehicles authorised in another Member State which have been moved from the 2004 Safety Directive into the Interoperability Directive. ii.) The draft regulations will implement the Directive for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The reauthorisation of vehicles for the UK half of the Channel Tunnel are dealt with in bi-national safety regulations. All other requirements in the Directive in relation to the Tunnel will be implemented through these draft interoperability regulations. iii.)

  • ( 78 ) Dr. Bisbie's Manuscript Collections for Long Melford
    ( 78 ) DR. BISBIE'S MANUSCRIPT COLLECTIONS FOR LONG MELFORD. By REV. CECIL DEEDES, M.A. The name of,Dr. Bisbie, rector of Long Melford,is now very familiar to Suffolk antiquaries, but until the publication of Sir William Parker's History of Long Melfbrd, in 1873, his' claim to be. enrolled among the Suffolkworthies rested on a comparativelyslight founda- tion. Bishop Tanner's edition of Wood's Athenae Oxon. (ii., 1047), describes him ,as being, at the date of his taking the divinity degrees in 1668, " esteemed an excellent Preacher, and a zealousPerson for the Church of :England." Five of his sermons are named in Wood, and perhaps Dr. Grosart, whowrites the short notice of him in the New Dictionary of National Biography,is justified in saying, " His publications consist nearly whollyof violent invectives against the. nonconformists." For, zealbus antiquary as he was, Dr. Bisbie did not publish his antiquarian researches, perhaps because he shrewdly perceived that from a business point of view polemicalsermonswouldpay better. His own generation had been sovigorousin the destructionof antiquities,and his own parish had sufferedso lamentably in the general spoliation and blindiconoclasmof the age,that he probably indited his materials for the History of Long Melford principally for his own satisfaction, and, so far as he regarded posterity, more for a future race of antiquaries than for a public,who in the days of the second James, and the third William,heeded none of those things. It •wasnot till the first decade of the 18th century that the 'Societyof Antiquaries,the Gentlemen'sSocietyof Spalding, and other kindred bodies beganto constitutean educated publicwho caredfor antiqUities,and it wasnot till many years later that the world at large ceased to suspect the sanity of any diligent student of arclneology,or at least -to regard him with .mingledpity and contempt.
