Our old normal was not okay, we were quite simply living too fast and too furiously. Stress and limited time had become badges of honour. 2. The earth desperately needed a break from our incessant over-consumption. We should never ever allow that to happen again. 3. During lock-down, it has become clear, that what we really need, above food and shelter, is other people. 4. Our homes really truly are our kingdoms and the place where we are safest and happiest. 5. The designer clothes in our wardrobe and the expensive cars on our driveways did us no good when push came to shove. 6. It was the strength of our minds, our relationships and our ability to adapt which saw us through the hardest of times. 7. When the world became dark and scary, it was not greed that appeared from every street in every town, it was kindness. 8. Our children are more adaptable than we think. We all are. We should always remember how well we did in a situation we could never have predicted. 9. We met ourselves in the quiet during the lock-down. We made a connection with ourselves we had been avoiding for a very long time. You may not even realise that but you did. Don’t let it slip again. 10. Our priorities in life needed rearranging, like the cupboards and the drawers we have been de-cluttering. Put family, kindness and people at the top and let everything else find its place in the pecking order. 6 E.SHEVLANE GROUNDWORK EXCAVATOR & OPERATOR Paving - Brickwork - Driveway - Block Paving - Pressure Washing - Garden, Garage & Shed Clearance, Drainage - Septic Tank Installation - Ditching Tel: 07951 831530 Call now for a free no obligation estimate Email: [email protected] Hertingfordbury based company Good, friendly service Gardening August.

  • East Herts District Plan
    East Herts District Plan Strategic March 2017 Land Availability Assessment 1.0 Introduction 1.1 National planning policy requires all Local Planning Authorities to produce a technical study known as the Strategic Land Availability Assessment (SLAA) in order to identify sites with potential for future development. The SLAA has informed work on the District Plan and Neighbourhood Planning. It has also assisted with the identification of future land supply. 1.2 The SLAA is a ‘live’ document in that it should be updated on a regular basis in order to reflect changing circumstances. Therefore, this version of the SLAA presents the most up to date position as at March 2017. 2.0 Methodology 2.1 Paragraphs 019 to 021 of the PPG identify that, when undertaking a SLAA, sites should be considered against three criteria, namely; suitability, availability and achievability. These terms are explained below. Suitability The assessment of suitability takes into account a range of policy constraints. These include environmental and heritage designations, impact on landscape and character, flooding and Green Belt / Rural Area Beyond the Green Belt. Availability A site is considered to be available if there are no legal or ownership issues which would prevent the site coming forward for development. Achievability Achievability is effectively a judgement about the economic viability of a site, and the capacity of the developer to complete the development over a certain period of time. 2.2 Having assessed each site against the three criteria, a conclusion can be reached. If a site is considered to be suitable, available and achievable, then it is regarded as being ‘deliverable’.

  • Admission Rules for Community and Voluntary-Controlled Co-Educational
    The Highfield School Admission arrangements for 2020/21 The school will have a published admission number of 180 Section 324 of the Education Act 1996 requires the governing bodies of all maintained schools to admit a child with a statement of special educational needs that names their school. All schools must also admit children with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) that names the school. Rule 1 Children looked after and children who were previously looked after, but ceased to be so because they were adopted (or became subject to a child arrangement order or a special guardianship order). Rule 2 Medical or Social: Children for whom it can be demonstrated that they have a particular medical or social need to go to the school. A panel of HCC officers will determine whether the evidence provided is sufficiently compelling to meet the requirements for this rule. The evidence must relate specifically to the school applied for under Rule 2 and must clearly demonstrate why it is the only school that can meet the child’s needs. Rule 3 Sibling: Children who have a sibling at the school at the time of application, unless the sibling is in the last year of the normal age-range of the school. Note: the ‘normal age range’ is the designated range for which the school provides, for example Years 7 to 11 in a 11-16 secondary school, Years 7 to 13 in a 11-18 school. Rule 4 Children for whom The Highfield School is their nearest school. Rule 5 Children who live in the priority area for whom it is their nearest Hertfordshire maintained school or academy that is non-faith, co-educational and non-partially selective.

  • Porvoo Prayer Diary 2021
    PORVOO PRAYER DIARY 2021 The Porvoo Declaration commits the churches which have signed it ‘to share a common life’ and ‘to pray for and with one another’. An important way of doing this is to pray through the year for the Porvoo churches and their Dioceses. The Prayer Diary is a list of Porvoo Communion Dioceses or churches covering each Sunday of the year, mindful of the many calls upon compilers of intercessions, and the environmental and production costs of printing a more elaborate list. Those using the calendar are invited to choose one day each week on which they will pray for the Porvoo churches. It is hoped that individuals and parishes, cathedrals and religious orders will make use of the Calendar in their own cycle of prayer week by week. In addition to the churches which have approved the Porvoo Declaration, we continue to pray for churches with observer status. Observers attend all the meetings held under the Agreement. The Calendar may be freely copied or emailed for wider circulation. The Prayer Diary is updated once a year. For corrections and updates, please contact Ecumenical Officer, Maria Bergstrand, Ms., Stockholm Diocese, Church of Sweden, E-mail: [email protected] JANUARY 3/1 Church of England: Diocese of London, Bishop Sarah Mullally, Bishop Graham Tomlin, Bishop Pete Broadbent, Bishop Rob Wickham, Bishop Jonathan Baker, Bishop Ric Thorpe, Bishop Joanne Grenfell.

This is far more than has ever been written by any author born north of the Grampians and whatever may be said ; about the quality of these productions, two agreeable facts may be stated regarding them.
