1 St. Mary's Church ST. MARY'S CHURCH - PURLEY ON THAMES ********************************************************************** ** SUNDAY SERVICES From this month, there is a change to the pattern of Sunday Services - see page 3 for full details. RECTOR Rev. Roger B. Howell, The Rectory, 1 Westridge Avenue, Purley on Thames Tel: 417727 CURATE Rev. Brendan Bailey, 10 Knowsley Road, Tilehurst Tel: 451411 READERS Jean Rothery Wally Watkivs Tel: 843625 Tel: 426170 CHURCHWARDENS Jackie Benstead David Jordan Tel: 429116 Tel: 415994 CHURCH ADMINISTRATOR CHURCH HIRINGS Sally Robertson Liane Southam Tel: 625978 Tel: 428243 BAPTISMSEnquiries about baptism should be made to the Rector (417727) WEDDINGS Enquiries about weddings should be made to Jackie Benstead (429116) FUNERALSEnquiries about funerals should be made to the Rector (417727) 1 LETTER FROM THE CURATE SEPTEMBER 1997 Dear Friends, Now is the time for the return to school and, in a few weeks time, to college for those going to college. It often seems to me that the time of the summer vacation gets shorter and shorter. I remember seeing some shops with back to school displays before the end of July. No longer do we have the opportunity to enjoy the present moment but we are encouraged to push on to the next stage of our lives. This is equally true for Church ministers as for everyone else. No doubt many of you are aware that the Rector, Roger Howell, is having a sabbatical break for the next three months until the beginning of December. This is not a holiday, but the chance to step back from the day to day pressures of parish ministry and reflect on the life of the parish church and its members. There is also the space and time to engage in some study and personal development. Roger will be handing over the reins of St. Mary's to me for the whole of these three months. Any matters of parish concern should be directed to me from September 1st to November 30th inclusive. This sabbatical period is not a modern invention of the management training schools. It is part of the biblical pattern for the re-creation of society. In the same way that the Ten Commandments call for one day's rest in seven, so the Old Testament calls for a special period of rest every seven years. This time known as the Sabbath Year, was the time when fields were left fallow. They could then regain their strength for more usual intensive growth for the other six years. Every 50 years there was to be a year of Jubilee which was even more special for the people of Israel. This was to be time when debts were cancelled and any land which had 2 been bought and sold would revert to its original owners. There has been for many years a call to return to this principle of Jubilee in Western society as it rushes towards the next century. In particular there is growing pressure to use the Millennium to proclaim a year of Jubilee for those countries which are among the poorest in the world. They are in debt to richer nations to the extent that they owe far more per head of population than most people earn per year. The Jubilee 2000 Campaign is working towards presenting a massive petition from many different nations to the summit meeting of the G7 group of richest nations at the turn of the Millennium. It would be a wonderful opportunity to allow the poorest nations of the world, all in the developing world, to make a fresh start for a new century. There is a copy of the petition and further details of the campaign on a noticeboard in the foyer of Church. Please come and sign it to join with millions of people throughout the world who are backing the campaign. If you would like to take a blank petition form and some useful answers to those awkward questions which people ask, please do let me know and I will pass those on to you. Yours in Christ, Brendan Bailey SUNDAY SERVICES FOR SEPTEMBER 7th Sept. 9.30 a.m. Family Worship 11.15 a.m. Morning Worship 6.00 p.m. Holy Communion 14th Sept. 9.30 a.m. Family Worship 11.15 a.m. Holy Communion 21st Sept. 9.30 a.m. Holy Communion 11.15 a.m. Morning Worship 6.00 p.m. Evening Worship 28th Sept. 9.30 a.m. Family Worship 11.15 a.m. Holy Communion 3 PARISH REGISTERS Baptisms 20th July Hayley Christine Morgan Samuel James Morgan Marriages 5th July Peter Painter & Helen Williams 2nd August Christopher Deacon & Nicola Leth Funerals 4th July Joyce Beatrice Allchorne (burial at Pangbourne Hill) LUNCH POT Lunch Pot re-opens after the summer break on Thursday, 11th September at the new time of 11.45 a.m. to 1.00 p.m. We start the new term with the autumn menu offering two choices of homemade soup, jacket potatoes with a range of fillings, as well as a savoury homemade `special'. Come for a light lunch or a more substantial meal and finish it off with home-baked cake and a refreshing cuppa. There is something for everyone at reasonable prices. We offer good food and a warm welcome to all. Highchairs are available for little ones and there are toys and colouring to keep children occupied while Mums take a break. This new term is remarkable because after two years of running Lunch Pot Nicki Woodward is stepping down and taking a well earned rest. At the end of July regulars at Lunch Pot showed their appreciation and Nicki was presented with a gift and a bouquet of flowers. Nicki has created a very welcoming and happy atmosphere at Lunch Pot and her topical theme days have been very popular. Last term helpers wore hats marking Lady's Day at Ascot and Wimbledon fortnight saw Tennis Ball Meringues, Boris Becker baked beans and Henman Hotdogs on the menu. We are very grateful to Nicki for looking after Lunch Pot so well and we hope Nicki will still keep in contact with us, this time on the right side of the kitchen counter! Don't forget our new opening times - 11.45 a.m. - 1.00 p.m. every Thursday during term time at the church. We look forward to seeing you. Abi Stinson 4 5 DISTRICT NOTES We now have a full complement of first tier officers at Newbury. As well as Roger Gibbins (ex Berks CC) as Director of Social Services, we have J. Mercer (ex LB Wandsworth) as Director of Education and Mike Harris (ex Newbury DC), John Ashworth (ex Berks CC) and D. Taylor as Corporate Directors. All will be taking up their positions in the next few months. There has also been an agreement on all the positions in the new Authority and these are being advertised first to existing Berks CC and Newbury DC employees. The change of name to West Berkshire Council has been approved and will take effect from 1st April 1998. There have been many complaints about vans parked on Knowsley Road. I am pleased to hear that this should now be resolved as the firm concerned now have a yard elsewhere. Two particular projects will probably affect many residents of Purley. These are the Reading Car Parking Strategy and the enhancement of the Oxford Road area from Reading West Station to Norcot roundabout. You may find it worthwhile to visit the Reading Civic Offices to find out more and to make your comments to Reading Borough. The Government have been consulting on the setting up of Regional Development Agencies. The one for the South East, which includes us, will stretch around London from Kent to Buckinghamshire. I think most would agree that this makes very little sense as the several areas have very little in common. They are also talking about a new Food Standards Agency, partly as a result of the concerns about e-coli and BSE. This year there will be even stricter control over the use of fireworks with shells not available for sale to the public and bangers, squibs, jumping jacks and mini-rockets banned entirely. Also, the minimum age has gone up to 18. Could I repeat again the warning for people not to park their cars on pavements. You are doing no-one a favour, rather you are obstructing the pavement (an offence) and also probably doing considerable damage to services such as gas, water, electricity and telephone which are often just beneath the tarmac. In my own street (Cecil Aldin Drive) we are continuously having to have the pavements dug up to repair the damage. John Chapman Newbury District Councillor, Purley Ward PURLEY ON THAMES PARISH COUNCIL 6 A reminder to all landowners to trim back their garden hedges, shrubs and trees alongside pavements and public footpaths. These must be cut back to the edge of the pavement or path and any overhanging branches on trees etc. up to a height of 8 ft. We now have new Parish Council noticeboards around the village. If you wish to place a notice on these, can you please get in touch with me so that I can authorise this and insert the notice for you. R.F. Fullbrook, Clerk to the Council ARTHRITIS RESEARCH COUNCIL The Thames Vale Singers are very kindly giving a concert for us in Pangbourne Village Hall on Saturday, 27th September at 7.30 p.m. Tickets are £3.50 to include light refreshments. There will be a raffle. Tickets can be obtained from the following members or at the door: Anne Bolam (421020), Sheila Aris (427721), Pamela James (843511) PURLEY CRAFT FAIR Saturday, 11th October : 2.00 - 5.00 p.m.

  • Full Council 25Th January 2021 Agenda Item No.: 17Iii REGULATION 18 CONSULTATION on the EMERGING DRAFT of the WEST BERKSHIRE
    Full Council 25th January 2021 Agenda Item No.: 17iii REGULATION 18 CONSULTATION ON THE EMERGING DRAFT OF THE WEST BERKSHIRE LOCAL PLAN REVIEW TO 2037 Initial draft response to the consultation, prepared by Councillor Lister, Leader of the Council. This document is a work in progress. We note that the Sustainability Assessment is an interim document and separate comments are sought. Our feedback to the Sustainability Assessment is included in our response to the Local Plan, policy SP 17, as advised by West Berkshire Officers. Section 1.4 • "contribute to the achievement of sustainable development … such that the right development happens in the right place at the right time benefiting communities and the economy. We acknowledge the needs for sustainable development and the importance of selecting the right place, at the right time. There are different pressures on communities - ensuring 'viable villages' in rural areas is as important as respecting the limits to growth in more urbanised areas that may be constrained by geography or through limits on infrastructure. Where infrastructure is constraining growth in one area then it is necessary to consider growth in other areas. Section 1.12 • "the Local Plan will replace in one document the three documents listed above" We welcome the merger of the 3 documents as this should enable West Berkshire Council to articulate a clear strategic vision for the district. This must align with sustainable growth that takes into account the challenge of moving towards a net-zero carbon. We are unclear on the status of the Sustainability Appraisal, in which an interim version has been published.
