    Tring Team Parish Profile for Part Time Team Vicar 2016

    Tring Team Parish Profile for part time Team Vicar 2016 Tring Team Parish General Information Summary The Tring Team Parish consists of five churches on the edge of the Chilterns. Tring itself is a market town of 14,000 with the church of St Peter and St Paul, and there are four village churches: All Saints, Long Marston; St Cross, Wilstone; St Mary’s, Puttenham; and St John the Baptist, Aldbury, all of which have a modern liberal outlook, but worship in a wide range of styles. As a parish we have been working with Tring School over a number of years as a central part of our mission. The school has 1,500 students of whom very few come from a worshipping background. This puts us in an interesting place where there is genuine crossover between the church and the secular world, with new insights and challenges coming from this dynamic. This is central to our mission and we are working out how to engage with new families whilst keeping faith with those who have grown up in the church. We are located in the Chilterns in an area of outstanding natural beauty, where Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire meet as the Chiltern Hills merge into the Vale of Aylesbury. The A41 links to the M25 eleven minutes away and the frequent train service Tring Station to Euston making the area a very successful and extremely buoyant residential location. There is much encouraging activity happening in our churches and many things to celebrate. We have some huge congregations across the Team (c6,500 attending all Christmas services, 800+ people in our

Our response, which begins on the following page, starts with an overall summary of our position on the draft local plan, and then gives more detail with regard to particular sections, policies and proposals (referenced and in plan order). Each element indicates whether our statement is in support, objection or as a comment. We did not find either the online portal or the downloadable pro forma to be conducive to an effective response, and we trust that this will be acceptable. There is much to be commended about the plan, but we also have serious reservations. We are, however, strongly supportive of the council taking steps to continue progressing with consultation on the plan in these difficult times. It is essential to have an up-to-date plan in place at all times for the sustainable management of development in an area with such a potent combination of development pressures, regeneration aspirations and a sensitive environment. The council is to be commended for the steps it has taken to give stakeholders as much of an opportunity to comment on the current proposals as it can under the current circumstances.

Bryan Barnes: 00:12 It's lost its character. We've got a mishmash of modern buildings. There's no coherence to it.

But I'm a former councillor of this town. I mean I liked Aylesbury as it was 35 years ago. When it grows and grows it can get out of hand and it doesn't then look or feel as it did then. It was quiet for a market town. It did have its own market, cattle market, sheep market, which sadly has all disappeared. And of course over all those years, the town has extended and grown, as a lot of smaller towns in the country have had to do so.

    Understanding Flood Risk in Dacorum Borough

    1 Appendix C: Understanding flood risk in Dacorum Borough 1.1 Dacorum Borough Dacorum Borough covers an area approximately 212km² and has a population of approximately 153,0001. There are 25 wards within the borough, the largest of which is Apsley and Corner Hall with a population of approximately 10,2002. Other sizeable wards include Bovingdon, Flaunden & Chipperfield, Chaulden & Warners End and Leverstock Green. The Chilterns dominate the north of the borough amongst agricultural land. The southern and eastern areas are urbanised by small villages and hamlets with the two large towns of Hemel Hempstead and Berkhamsted. 1.2 Hydrology The principal watercourses (Appendix A) in the borough are as follows: • River Gade (source located in the central band of the borough) • River Bulbourne (source located near Northchurch) • River Ver (begins in the grounds of Lynch Lodge, Kensworth Lynch) • Tring Bourne (minor watercourse located to the north-west) There are numerous tributaries to these watercourses including Main Rivers, The Grand Union Canal, smaller Ordinary Watercourses and unnamed watercourses. A summary of watercourses within the Borough is provided in Appendix A. Following the EA’s Management Catchments, Dacorum Borough lies within the Thames and Chilterns South catchment in the north-west, and the Colne catchment which forms the majority of the borough. The Thame and Colne are the EA Operational Catchments within the borough. Average rainfall within the borough at Rothamsted No2 (nearest climate station) indicates average annual rainfall of 712mm which is relatively dry compared to the rest of the UK3. 1.3 Topography The topography of the Borough primarily comprises a plateau of elevated land which form the Chilterns to the north and north west of the borough linked with the valley slopes of the Rive Gade and River Bulbourne.
