Anthony Ashley Cooper, Earl of Shaftesbury, is celebrated today for his work The Diocese of Karachi (Pakistan) as a social reformer. A deeply committed evangelical, he was clear that “Christianity is not a state of opinion and speculation. Christianity is essentially practical.” His reforming work changed the lives of factory workers, women and children in coal mines, chimney sweeps, people with NOTES: mental health issues. The Shaftesbury Society, set up to continue his work, is now part of Livability, the largest Christian disability charity in the country.

There were no Declarations of Interest. 2348. Public Forum - No members of the public were present 2349. Confirmation of the Minutes of the meeting on 1 September 2020 The Minutes were approved and would be signed by the Chairman at the next meeting held in person. 2350. Matters arising from the September PC meeting 1. Belchamp Otten Community Woodland project (Item 2332.1) – Former Councillor Mark Skellett had confirmed that all three landowners approached at Belchamp Otten had declined to take part in this project. The PC were not in a position to purchase land for the project, because of their limited resources and they also noted potential problems with public liability if residents used equipment to prepare and maintain such a site. Although supportive of the idea, the Council therefore concluded that this project could not be taken forward at this time. They wished to record their thanks to Mark Skellett for his work on this project. 2. ECC Salt Bag Partnership for 2020 (Item 2334.3) – Members wished to thank John Clarke for agreeing to store the salt bags at his property.

  • New Bishop of Colchester Says These Are Exciting Times for the Church
    Friday 2nd May 2014 NEW BISHOP OF COLCHESTER SAYS THESE ARE EXCITING TIMES FOR THE CHURCH The Venerable Roger Morris, Archdeacon of Worcester, has been nominated by Her Majesty the Queen as the new Bishop of Colchester in succession to The Rt Revd Christopher Morgan. Roger Morris said: “I am really thrilled to have been asked to come and serve the churches and people of this wonderfully varied part of Essex. Everyone I’ve met has been incredibly warm and friendly and generous – so much so that they have made coming here feel a lot like coming home. “These are exciting times for the Church as we live out and celebrate our faith in new, engaging and transformative ways. This is a time in which we are called to re-imagine a vision for the church in the 21st Century which is authentic and relevant and helps us become all we are called to be. “As Bishop, I believe that it is important to make a priority of being available, being approachable and being known. Bishops are often talked about as being shepherds and Pope Francis talks of the importance of the shepherd ‘smelling of the sheep’. That means spending time with and knowing and identifying with the people we are privileged to serve. I am really looking forward to getting out and about and getting to know the people of the Colchester Area.” The Bishop of Chelmsford, The Right Reverend Stephen Cottrell, added: “It is a joy to welcome Roger Morris as the next Bishop of Colchester. This is a time of great opportunity for the church in north Essex.

The right to respond to planning applications is a very important one to both Parish Council's and to the residents that they represent. 2. The proposed revisions maintain the right for Parish Council's to comment on all planning applications. However they will remove the right for a Parish Council to request that certain applications be considered by the full Planning Committee rather than by an individual planning officer. This currently occurs where the local Parish Council views differ from those of the Planning Officer dealing with the application. 3.The removal of the right to request that an application be considered by the Planning Committee applies to the construction of 1-2 dwellings, to Listed Building and Conservation Area applications and applications for extensions and smaller works. In small rural communities most planning applications will fall into this category and to remove this important facility, except where the planning development manager deems the proposals 'significant,' is not acceptable. In a small community even comparatively small developments and changes can have a significant impact much more so than in larger residential areas.
