NOVEMBER 2020
I write this as the view from my window is looking
very autumnal. The leaves are turning and the nights
are drawing in, the warmth of summer is slowly
ebbing away. This time of year marks a change in
the churches year as we move away from Easter and
Pentecost and begin to prepare for Advent. In the
Church Calendar we have some significant moments coming up and the
Kingdom Season is almost upon us.The liturgists and those who plan our
lectionary have created a number of markers along the way that help
remind us of the role that Kingdom has in our faith.We have All Hallows
Eve (Halloween), All Saints and All Souls and then Christ the King. In
between we have Remembrance Sunday and in more recent years
Armistice Day has taken on new resonance in society as a whole.
These moments all have something in common they are about memory
and remembering and they remind us that we belong to something bigger
than ourselves.These memories are all the more poignant this year for me
as we have just had a significant family funeral. We have been looking
through old photographs. It was a very odd feeling as photographs going
back to the early part of the last century were recovered. I am sure over
time we will as a family sit down and work out who they all are and no
doubt scratch our heads as we work out the significance of why certain
shots were taken. It struck me that the black and white photographs have
lasted far better than colour from the 60’s & 70’s. I guess most of us of a
certain age have boxes of old photographs and possibly even slides. Slide
shows feature strongly in my memory as when I was growing up every
friend and relative seemed to want to show us their holiday slides. What
struck me is that these pictorial records of life are very much a unique part
of 20th Century life, everything now is digital and dare I say it disposable.
Now if we don’t like them we simply delete them or manipulate them in a
computer until they look the way we wanted them too.

These church festivals allow us to remember. All Saints reminds us that we
are part of a worldwide church which stretches back through history and we
give thanks for the ordinary Christian men and women who worshipped and
prayed often in the same churches as we do today who have gone before
us. There is a strong and unbreakable spiritual bond between those in
heaven who have gone before us, and the those of us living in this present
time.The Book of Common Prayer refers to those in heaven as the Church
Triumphant and those of us who are here and now as the Church Militant.
Strange terms in the 21st Century but it captures well the sense that the
Kingdom is both here and yet to come. Those who have gone before us are
the great cloud of witnesses that cheer us on that the writer to the Hebrews
reminds us of, for we collectively are the Saints.
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let
us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles.
And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, …” Hebrews
12:1
All Souls allows us a moment of reflection as we remember with
thanksgiving those who have died who we love but see no more. It offers us
a powerful window in to God’s heart of compassion for those who grieve
and mourn the loss of loved ones and allows us as a church to accompany
one another on that journey. It reminds us too that we have a Saviour who
has overcome the sting of death and fulfilled for us the promise of eternal
life.
It is in the festival of Christ the King that we are reminded that our faith has
a Saviour who will return to wind up history and restore God’s Kingdom.
Jesus is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords and it is to him and him alone we
owe our homage and worship. It marks the end of the Church year with a

strong reminder that Jesus Our Saviour is prophet, priest and King.
Ultimately this is a period of reflection, of memories and of thanksgiving like
the season of autumn it can feel full of melancholy but it is also one of joy
and celebration. In our COVID dominated world it is good to be reminded
that there is life beyond ourselves and that there is an unbroken chain of
Christian witness going back through the centuries. Sometimes we need to
stop and reflect that there is more to life than this present moment, that
things will change and we will see a new creation. Until then we simply
need to share with each other the joys and tears of our common humanity
and remember with thankfulness those who have gone before us in faith
who have ensured that we can take forward the message of hope for our
world. Archdeacon of Hereford, the Ven Derek Chedzey
From the Rector of Bromfield Benefice
Dear Friends in Christ,
November is the month of remembrance; of loss and mourning but
thankfulness too. You may have seen online or in the media that
Remembrance Sunday parades are being cancelled because of the current
health emergency. That may be so, but in our churches we will certainly be
marking this important occasion, at our services on the day.
If you can’t parade, why not come and stand with us as we remember the
fallen, those who gave much, or indeed all, for the cause of peace and
freedom?
We will pray for peace, hope for better days, and give thanks for the
sacrifice of so many.

What can you think of that is more important to do at 11.00am on Sunday
8th November 2020? This year marks another centenary, this time of the
unveiling of the Cenotaph in London. Cenotaph means ‘empty tomb’. It
symbolises the unprecedented losses suffered during the First World War
and is dedicated to 'The Glorious Dead'. There are no names inscribed on
the Cenotaph, which allowed individuals to assign their own meaning to the
memorial. It also provided a tangible place of mourning for those whose
husbands, sons, brothers, friends and relations died during the war without
a known grave. The original Cenotaph in London was not as we see it today!
Made of wood and plaster, the first structure was only intended to stand for
one week, but it proved so popular that a permanent replacement was
commissioned. After the original was removed in January 1920, the new
Portland stone memorial was completed and installed, ready to be unveiled
by King George V on Armistice Day – 11 November 1920.
Each year wreaths of poppies are laid by royalty, heads-of-state and other
officials. Wreaths are then laid by the heads of the military services and
these are followed by the wreaths of veterans organisations.
We do this too, in our own small and local way.
We will stand, in silence, because sometimes there are just no words which
will do. The week before, on 2nd November, we will mark the Solemnity of
All Souls, and remember by name all those we have loved, and love still, but
see no longer and, we pray, are in the hands of God.
We will remember them, too.
This year of Coronavirus, there is much to remember, much to mourn and
much to place into the hands of God because our hearts are too full.
God stands with us too, walks with us, cries with us and rejoices with us.
As you remember, give thanks too for all the good we have, handed down
to us as a solemn gift by those who have gone before.
One of my favourite modern poets, Malcolm Guite, wrote these words in a
poem called Silence:
November pierces with its bleak remembrance
Of all the bitterness and waste of war.
Our silence tries but fails to make a semblance
Of that lost peace they thought worth fighting for.
Our silence seethes instead with wraiths and whispers,
And all the restless rumour of new wars,
The shells are singing as we sing our vespers,
6
No moment is unscarred, there is no pause,
In every instant bloodied innocence
Falls to the weary earth, and whilst we stand
Quiescence ends again in acquiescence,
And Abel’s blood still cries in every land
One silence only might redeem that blood
Only the silence of a dying God.
Your Priest and friend Justin
From the Rectory – November 2020
Early November brings with it a theme of Remembrance and remembering.
On November 5th we mark Bonfire Night and remember Guy Fawkes and
the attempt to blow up parliament, an occasion where remembering brings
with it an air of festivity. Less than a week later our remembering is rather
different as we pause on Remembrance Sunday (November 8th) and
Armistice Day (November 11th) to remember those who died fighting in two
world wars – and in various conflicts since. Less well-known as an occasion
for remembering is All Souls Day on November 2nd, when we remember
and give thanks for the life of all the faithful departed, particularly those we
have known and loved who have died, whether they died recently or years
ago.
This year our remembering will perhaps be especially poignant in the light of
the pandemic, something which has affected all of us in terms of the
lockdown and various restrictions, but something which has probably also
affected all of us in deeper ways too, whether we have lost anyone we knew
to it or not. The number of people who have died due to the pandemic is
reported on the news daily, but it is easy be lulled into just hearing numbers
and to forget that each of those numbers represents people who have lost
their lives and families whose lives will be changed forever. In an attempt to
get the figures into some sort of proportion, a friend recently set out to walk
one step for every person who had died in the pandemic in the UK, a figure
which was at the time about 43,500. Doing this he walked about 22 miles.
How much further would it be by the time you read this, or by the end of
the pandemic?
One of the difficult things this year has been the restrictions on funerals,
meaning that we have not been able to gather to remember those who
have died in the ways we would normally. These restrictions look as if they
7
will be in place for a while yet and so it will probably be some time before
we are able to hold memorial services for people whose funerals have taken
place during the pandemic. If, in the meantime, you need some space and
time out to remember, our churches and churchyards are there for you, and
you are welcome to make the most of the space, and the peace, they
provide.
Rev’d John Beesley
Remembrance Day
Remembrance Sunday this year falls on November 8th. Inevitably the
current restrictions mean that we cannot mark the day as we would usually
and so there are two plans, the one we hope to be able to do and the
reserve plan in case of bad weather.
If the weather is reasonable we will gather in Diddlebury Churchyard in time
for the service to start at 10:50. You are welcome to bring a chair if you will
struggle to stand for long. We will, of course, have to observe the
appropriate social distancing. The service will follow the usual format as
closely as we can, although we are currently not allowed to sing which
means we cannot have hymns. We will have the service outside even if it’s
cold (but dry), please look at the weather and make your own judgement on
whether or not it is sensible for you to come.
If we have rain, or if it’s too windy to be outside, we will have the service in
Diddlebury Church. To maintain social distancing in the church we are very
restricted as to how many people we can fit in. This means that we will have
to ask everyone who would plan to attend the service if it has to be inside to
contact me in advance (tel. 841488 or email revjbeesley@gmail.com) so
that we know how many people plan to be there. Places will be allocated on
a first-come, first-served basis and we may reach a point where we cannot
allow any more people in. Please remember that masks should be worn in
church unless you are exempt from wearing them.
We will also put a Service of Remembrance on the Corvedale Churches
YouTube Channel, for those of you who can access that.
On Armistice Day, November 11th, there will be short Acts of Remembrance
in Culmington Church and at Diddlebury War Memorial at 10:50am and
(socially distanced) you are welcome to join us.

Local Poppy Appeal News:
Whilst the Covid-19 pandemic has impacted how we can deliver the Poppy
Appeal this year, our dedicated staff, volunteers, partners and suppliers
have been working hard to ensure that the 2020 Poppy Appeal is going
ahead and the nation can take part in Remembrance activity.
Each year 40,000 volunteers from all across the UK make the Poppy Appeal
happen. However, many of our volunteers, or someone they live with, now
fall into vulnerable categories, so it is simply not safe for them to take part
this year. As a result, we will unfortunately not able to deliver boxes of
poppies to every local business that has supported the Poppy Appeal in the
past. However, we have developed a range of new and exciting fundraising
and donation tools that the public can access via our website to enable
companies and communities to support the appeal. These are available on
the Legion websitewww.rbl.org.uk/poppyappeal
Poppies will also be available in local supermarkets and sites where possible
This Poppy Appeal, we are presented with huge challenges due to the
impact the Covid-19 has had across our society. The pandemic has left some
in the Armed Forces community, as in many others, in dire need of urgent
help and support. We are asking our partners, volunteers, fundraisers,
members and staff to come together and get behind the Appeal in a way
not asked of them before. As no door to door collections can take place
please try and buy a poppy where you can or you can donate on line. I am
aiming to place boxes in the local pubs and The Garage at Aston Munslow,
safety permitting. If anyone has a special request for anything please give
me a ring on 01584 873142 and I will do my best to get it to you. If you are
not able to donate online please send donations to me at 3 Mayfields,
Ludlow SY8 2QB. Could I take this opportunity to thank all the collectors in
the Corvedale who for many years have done a stalwart job and lets hope
they will all be back knocking on doors again next year. Who knows!!

16Culmington Road Closure
Shropshire Highways propose to carry out Carriageway Resurfacing Works
from Stud Farm Junction to Sparchford, Culmington.
The work is programmed to commence on 9th November 2020 and is
expected to last for up to 3 days. The normal working hours will be between
07:00am to 17:00pm Monday to Friday. The proposed scope of the works
are listed below;
• Patch carriageway by milling and inlaying,
• 40mm of AC10 Close Surf 100/150 0.5% Enriched PSV 60 (Surf 2 ENR),
• Side Carriageway throughout working zone and sweep,
• Carriageway Marking Replacement,
• Concrete grips to SD-500-27.
Unfortunately, because of the nature of the works, it will be necessary to
close the road to traffic for the duration of the works during the working
hours mentioned. Every reasonable effort will be made to complete the
work as soon as possible. Due to the road being a no-through road, there
will be no diversion route necessary. Inevitably there will be some disruption
during these works, for which we apologise in advance. Access to frontages
will be maintained up to the closure, however, please liaise with the
Operatives on site.

Planning Application: To consider any applications ; NONE
The Chair updated Council on todays meeting of the South Planning
committee which had approved the supermarket scheme at Rocks Green.
Sainsburys would be the operator of the site. The scheme had been under
review since 2014 and he expected completion by Xmas 2021.
Highways: To review (1) Speeding issues on the Leintwardine road into
Bromfield. (2) Racecourse Road Issues. Norma Lea also raised the ongoing
issue at Fishmore ,so repair work had been carried out but the road
remained dangerous . Issue had been reported by herself & Clerk.
Because of the difficulty in contact Highways staff the Chair requested that
Cllrs email him and copy the Clerk with the outstanding issues and he would
then go direct to the Chief Ex to attempt to get some of the issues resolved.
Broadband Update: Update on Superfast Broadband Vouchers
The Chair outlined the scheme and that vouchers were available from SC to
help subside the cost of broadband installation in rural area. The vouchers
available for both Business & Residential users.
PO Counters: To review current services . The Clerk had spoken to the
mobile service provider from Cleobury North PO , he reported that he had
visited three times and trade was brisk with customers travelling to visit the
PO plus local area. He thought the parking location of the mobile vehicle
18could be better so that customers avoided stepping out into the way of
traffic and he had raised the location with the PO.
Planning Consultations: National & Local (paper to follow from Chair)
The Chair outlined some of the Governments proposals for changing the
laws. He felt that Bromfield would not be effected but that the changes
would effect other parts of the County. Planning permission regulations
could would be changed this would have a major effect. He would
update Council as this progressed.
Before closing the meeting the Chair advised the meeting that there had
been one case of Covid 19 identified at Ludlow school. Council felt that if
lockdown regulations were enforced once again that further support was
needed in the area and it was agreed that an Extraordinary meeting would
be called to discuss options if the situation became worse.

month, but apart from news of cancelled activities and postponed meetings
I think they are at as much of a loss to find interesting comments as I am, at
least I’m not alone! One notice that maybe of interest to our members
concerned the AGM which should be held in November, but the
recommendation is that “trustees (officers and committee members) remain
in office until an AGM can be held”. It is worth bearing in mind that without
filling the vacancies that will no doubt arise (there are 2 including the
secretary, who have indicated they will be standing down), then the Institute
cannot continue to operate, so please let Eileen or Pam know if you feel you
could consider joining the committee, an extremely friendly group I can
assure you.
The results of the October competition results are as follows:-
Object beginning with F Flower of the month
1st Farthing, Annie Jones Fuchsia, Sue Parker
2nd Fan, Sue Parker Dahlia, Margaret Edgar
3rd Feathers, Barbara Wright Michaelmas Daisy, Janet Kynman
Next month we will welcome entries for a flower of the month only, as is
usual (whatever that is?) by November 12th, so please don’t forget to send
your pictures in to our overworked impartial adjudicator.

Corvedale Book group report October 2020.
With the autumn evenings closing in, a larger group than usual, ten
of us, zoomed in to discuss Mark Slouka’s novel The Visible World.
Written in three sections, the first part is fragmentary as the child in
the book recalls the snippets of his past he pulls together from
conversations he has overheard and stories he has heard from his parents
and friends. It is a memoir describing his parents lives as they resettle in
America after leaving occupied Czechoslovakia in the middle of the war. As
with many immigrants their stories, religious and folk customs, food and
traditions assume a greater importance than perhaps they had in their
homeland. Not all of the story seems to make sense, with half mentioned
snippets of hardship and atrocities.
In the second part of the tale, as a young adult, the author returns to his
homeland, after his mother’s suicide, to try to retrace his parents footsteps
both in Prague and the nearby villages and to find out about the man his
20mother had loved so much. He discovers his former home, survivors from
that period who add flesh to the bones of the story and more details about
the reprisals which followed when seven brave young men, resistance
fighters, attempted to assassinate Reinhard Heydrich, the leader tipped to
succeed Adolf Hitler. Hundreds of men, women and children were
slaughtered, entire villages were razed and the seven were exterminated in
the village church on 18th June 1942.
The third, more readable section of the book is a novel which tried to make
sense of the fragments gained above and weave them into a brief but
intense and very poignant love affair. It seemed to be a way to make sense
of his own, disjointed personal history.
The book reviews were very positive about this intense writing style which
won some awards. Our reaction was more mixed. Reading a section at one
go seemed to be the best way to get the feel of the book, otherwise it was a
slow start with each memory seeming detached and in limbo. The
descriptive writing was beautiful and the sentences were carefully thought
through. The writing was described as ‘clear and incisive’. For one reader it
conjured up Edward Hopper stylised landscapes. We wondered aloud for a
while why he was obsessed about his parent’s life, about why his father had
continued to love and be devoted to his mother, who still held a candle for
her former lover. The novel reveals one possible answer which helps to
make some sense of the past.
21The description of the way a young couple fell deeply in love during the
throes of a bleak wartime period contrasted with the barely suppressed
fears of the British trained partisans both before and after the attempted
assassination. You could feel the suppressed energy and terror as they
waited in the church cellar to be smuggled out in coffins when the hue and
cry had died down. The horrors of war are clearly portrayed. The
subjugation of the people through starvation and fear of reprisals divided
families and friends. The losses were evident and hard to witness. This
contrasted with small acts of courage and bravery when people chose to
stand up for their country and each other.
In the end it came across as a story about love of family, community and
country. The love between couples, the love of a child or between people
working to a shared purpose. A book that was thought provoking and good
to read, despite its disturbing content. Our discussion helped to pull its
fragmentary start together, for me at least.
Our discussion on Thursday 12th November will focus around Their eyes
were watching god by Zora Neale Hurston. This is described as ‘one of the
very greatest American novels of the 20th century’. A timely read while we
await the outcome of the US elections.

Peter’s Article
Wood-Pasture; An honourable past and a big future?
Many of us no doubt have crossed into Herefordshire to visit Croft Castle,
it’s a lovely trip through a dreamy border landscape and our expectations
are gratified on arrival. The castle has an extensive estate flowing upwards
from the castle and spreading to left and right. The higher reaches of the
hill beyond are well treed, but no ancient wooded vista this, the sight we
see may be the somewhat unwelcome one of dense ‘modern’ conifer
plantation, at least at first sight!
The ground on the slope behind the castle is famous for its sweet chestnut
trees, many of them are said to have been planted in ‘battle formation’ in
22celebration of the repulse of ‘The Spanish Armada’ and therefore should be
comfortably over 400 years in age. A great many of them seem to be old
pollards. In former centuries attitudes to trees was very different to today;
they were seen as ‘work-horses’ and successively cropped, in the case of
sweet chestnut to produce a useful, hard and light carpentry wood, and the
leaves a browse for the cattle while the trunk would a delightful scratching
post.
A pollard may be recognised as it has
many ‘poles’ originating from a single
level where the tree was previously cut,
usually above height cattle and deer
could browse the new shoots.
Characteristically, the lower trunk flairs
out below this level, and with the flair at
the base, has a ‘double flair’ appearance
sometimes strikingly different from a
‘standard’ tree.
Wood-pasture can also be readily recognised, it is a large open grassland
with plentiful single or groups of trees within it. People usually refer to it as
‘parkland’, and interestingly it often evokes a feeling of satisfaction and
venerable antiquity, and is often these days only seen around some noble
house. Needless to say, the builders of such houses were not necessarily
themselves of ancient noble lineage and the ‘parkland’ was a useful adjunct

23to their self-image. There may also be a subliminal association with hunting
especially of deer which in the middle ages could be taken not only as a
mark but a veritable proof of nobility.
There is another reason why this type
of landscape may evoke deep
feelings of antiquity in us, as the
current belief seem to be in favour of
this landscape, (let us now call it
wood-pasture), was what man,
crossing into the land which was to
become Britain encountered after
the last ice-age abated some 10 to 11
thousand years ago, (there is another
school of thought which suggests
that this primeval woodland was in fact continuous…. so called ‘closed
canopy’). If the ‘open canopy’ merchants are right, could there be some
kind of deep ‘folk memory’ of a fabulously ancient past landscape seeping
into our subconscious? Well, The National Trust who own the place lock,
stock and barrel are certainly excited about the idea of wood-pasture and
show us a 16th century map which demonstrates what looks suspiciously
like very extensive Croft wood-pasture. They are engaged in an intriguing
project to remove later coniferous woodland and plant stands of hardwood
trees to re-create this landscape form. The Trust’s ecologists are also fired
by this notion as it turns out that wood-pasture supports a hugely greater
diversity of plants and tiny beasts than open monoculture grassland, and

24A Meeting held with John Bellis, Drainage and Risk Manager from
Shropshire Council, Johnathan Stigwell (Engineer) and colleague Nicholas.
Ian Steele Chairman of Culmington Parish Council , Heather Coonick (Parish
Clerk) along with Cecilia Motley (Shropshire County Councillor) and Jayne
Disley from the Flood Action Group met this last Friday 23rd October to walk
through areas of Culmington to discuss the flooding which occurred this
February 2020 with John Bellis and his colleagues.
(Bottom Photo)
(Photo - Parish Councillors meeting with landowner
Mr John Turley), It was a very positive and useful
afternoon. Johnathan Stigwell and Nicholas did
some work on the village drains and attention will
be given to the main road drains once traffic
management measurers can be put in place.
Further measures and projects for our area were
discussed and walked over with the cooperation of
a local landowner and are in the planning and
investigation stage and the hope is, if implemented
will complement
work already
undertaken
through the ‘slow
the flow project’
and improve any
flooding in future
in our area.

surely, we are all now being to understand how important and urgent that
sort of thing is for the very survival of the world as we know it. Perhaps here
there is here a way of producing meat which is historically and
environmentally sound, if less intensive.
At the outset I mentioned the higher reaches of the hill above Croft, near in
fact to the famed ‘hill-fort’ of Croft Ambury, and here there is a startling,
fascinating and profoundly poignant thing to find. Clearly, when the modern
planters blanketed the hillside with trees, for some reason (I would like to
think in deference to these ancient wood-pasture giants), they left quite a
large number of (now dead) pollarded trees which still stand cheek by jowl
with the giant conifers, like ancient shrines in a sea of glassy
sky-scrapers.
It is a wonderful example of how a landscape change can be seemingly
profound, but still fail to totally extinguish the more ancient terrain it made
shift to replace.

29Letter from Westminster, November 2020
My Bill to clean up Britain’s Rivers
Britain’s rivers have historically provided habitats for our wildlife,
pleasure to our population, as well as coursing through our culture.
They flow throughout South Shropshire, just as they flow through our
folklore and literature as well as invigorating our famous green landscapes.
It is frankly shocking that, in the 21st century, 40% of all our rivers in
England and Wales are polluted with human sewage, now threatening our
own health as well as the aquatic species who live in them. Much of this
pollution enters our rivers when wastewater is discharged from the very
sewage treatment works whose purpose is to clean it up. In part this is
because regulations have not kept up to date with changes in behaviour and
pressure from development, so now all too frequently pollutants enter our
rivers untreated.
This is simply not good enough. I have always believed we need to leave our
own part of the planet in a better condition than we found it. So this is why,
when I was successful in the Private Members Bill ballot earlier this year, I
decided to table a Bill in Parliament to tackle one of the prime causes of
persistent pollution of our rivers.
During periods of ‘unusually heavy’ rainfall the capacity of the sewer
network is widely acknowledged to be incapable of coping. To avoid

30flooding sewage over farmland, streets or properties, the Environment
Agency grants permits for untreated sewage to discharge directly into our
rivers.
Shocking as this sounds, it is meant to be for brief periods of time, through
the 18,000 treatment plants designated Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs).
But last year, the water companies have admitted over 200,000 CSO events
spilled raw sewage into rivers across England for over 1.5 million hours.
But there is something we can do to avoid this. I applaud the action the
government is taking through the landmark Environment Bill. This legislation
includes for the first time a requirement for water companies to publish a
drainage and sewerage management plan every five years. I have tabled an
amendment to this Bill to strengthen these plans explicitly to cover water
quality and the impact of pollution from sewage, to help inform debate
around the government’s very welcome plans to set a target for water
companies to reduce discharge of phosphate.
My Private Member’s Bill, published last month, goes further. It contains a
suite of measures to address the extensive failings in regulation,
enforcement, transparency, investment and infrastructure which drives the
contamination of our rivers with wastewater. We need water companies to
be more transparent and encouraged to monitor, report and mitigate
wastewater discharges better.
We also need to make our rivers fit for recreation, particularly given the
renewed enthusiasm for ‘wild swimming’ during the Covid pandemic. My
Bill calls for each water company to reach bathing quality standard on two
inland waters a year. By improving the ecological health of our rivers, we
could deliver in relatively short timescales, huge benefits for wildlife and
biodiversity as well.
31The Environment Bill requires the government to set legally binding targets
to improve the health of our water bodies. To ensure these targets are
delivered promptly the new Office for Environmental Protection must be in
place swiftly as we exit the Brexit transition period. It must have the
necessary independence and enforcement mechanisms to hold public
bodies and Ministers to account. We also need to ensure the Environment
Agency has sufficient resources to work with communities in fulfilling its
role, and political support to uphold standards where water companies fail
to comply.
I accept that these improvements won’t be cost free. So I have proposed
that Ofwat’s objectives should allow capital investment in improving water
quality to be eligible under the five yearly pricing review mechanism.
If we are to fulfil our obligation to leave the environment in a better state
for future generations, we must act now to clean up our rivers. This is not a
partisan issue – it affects us all. So I am hoping to encourage as many
colleagues as possible to support my Bill and help make it law. If you would

Hospital Discharge
Since March hospitals have been working
closely with community health, social care
partners and local councils to improve the discharge process. Triggered by
Covid-19, the aim has been to make sure no one is in hospital longer than
they need to be.
We are gathering people’s experience of discharge under the current
arrangements and have worked with local hospital trusts, the Clinical
Commissioning Group and Shropshire and Telford & Wrekin Councils to
develop a short questionnaire.
We want to hear about what is working well and where the experience of
leaving hospital could be improved.

Out of hours Palliative Care
We would like to know about the experiences of those who have received
'out of hours' palliative care since the beginning of March 2020. Out of
hours is during evenings, weekends (from Friday evening to Monday
32morning), and public holidays.
We would like to gain an understanding of the needs and experiences of
palliative care patients and their carers in order to help ensure that out-of-
hours care is both effective and efficient.

Shropshire Council welcomes feedback on a draft Community and
Rural Strategy
Shropshire Council is inviting feedback on a draft strategy designed to
reflect the rural nature of our county, and to set out shared priorities for
the future. In the summer of 2019 Shropshire Council started work with a
range of partner organisations to develop an evidence base and identify
shared priorities. Workshops were held with town councils, parish councils,
councillors, voluntary and community sector groups and organisations and
Shropshire Business Board to consider the issues most important to our
local communities. The data, information and feedback obtained from

33across the county has been used to inform the draft Community and Rural
Strategy.
Gwilym Butler, Shropshire Council’s Cabinet member for communities,
place planning and regulatory services said:
“The draft strategy proposes a model where Shropshire Council will be an
enabler, either through delivering projects and initiatives itself, or through
finding the best way that it can assist local areas to deliver their own actions
in their communities. The draft strategy provides an opportunity to refresh
how the council and local areas work together.”
“Since starting work on the strategy, Shropshire has seen significant
flooding and the coronavirus pandemic. These events have had
considerable social and economic impacts, but they have also highlighted
how effectively local communities have responded to provide the right type
of support and services where they are most needed across the county.”
“Our key outcome focus will be around our priorities contained in the
strategy. How these will be delivered will alter in each place dependent on
need. Inclusivity across the whole county is the key message, whether rural
or urban or whatever your community may be.”
The draft Community and Rural Strategy is a high-level framework strategy.
It highlights many of the priorities that will be built into other local
strategies and delivery plans (for example, Shropshire Council’s developing
Leisure Strategy and draft Cultural Strategy).
This consultation is open for 8 weeks and is due to close on Sunday 6
December. The consultation aims to build on the engagement work
undertaken to date, and allow the public and a wider range of local

‘Flu Jab Invitations on Their Way’ say
Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin Health Bosses
Flu vaccination invitations are on their way by post,
text message or phone call, say health bosses at Shropshire, Telford and
Wrekin Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs). GP practices across the
county are now rolling out their vaccination programmes and Shropshire,
Telford and Wrekin residents are encouraged to book their flu jabs to
protect both themselves and their families. Patients are also reminded that
they do not need to contact their GP practice directly as surgeries are
currently letting people know how and when to book an appointment. This
will be done by post, text message or phone call with those most in need of
the vaccination prioritised first.
3536
Flu clinics may also be delivered differently to previous years as some
practices are working together to ensure maximum efficiency. As a result,
they may be asking patients to go to a different practice for their jabs.
Practices may also be using marquees, school halls or drive-through facilities
to ensure infection, prevention and control measures, as well as social
distancing guidelines, are upheld. Details of your practices’ arrangements
will be shared with you when you book your flu vaccination appointment.
The flu vaccine is offered at GP practices and local pharmacies. Patients are
encouraged to take up the offer of a free flu vaccine when contacted by
their GP practice. If a patient does not plan to attend their session, or has
had the vaccine elsewhere, they should decline their appointment at their
GP practice so that others can take their place.
Those eligible for the free flu vaccination are as follows:
Children aged 2 and 3 on 31 August, 2020
Children in primary school
Children in year 7 (secondary school)
Adults 65 and over
People with certain medical conditions (including children in at-risk groups
from 6 months of age)
Pregnant women
People living with someone who is at high risk from coronavirus (on the
NHS shielded patient list)
Frontline health or social care workers
Children in primary school and in year 7 of secondary school will be able to
access the free flu vaccine through the schools programme and not at a GP
practice.
For people aged between 50 A J Hoskins and Sons Ltd
and 64 that do not have

37first. If you are between 50 and 64 and you fall into another group eligible
for the flu vaccination, for example; you have a health condition which puts
you at risk from the flu, you will be invited earlier. Dr Julian Povey, Joint
Chair of Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin CCGs, said: “Every year the flu
hospitalises and kills thousands but the flu vaccine is the most effective way
to protect yourself, your friends and your family from catching the flu. “We
are encouraging all of those eligible to look out for their flu jab invitation
and not to contact GP practices directly, as people will be invited for their
vaccinations depending on their clinical need. Those most at risk will get
their jabs first.” The symptoms of flu are fever, cough, sore throat, runny or
stuffy nose, muscle and body aches, headaches, tiredness and some may
experience vomiting and diarrhoea.
Funding & Support from your Community Foundation
The Community Foundation has recently received additional DCMS funding
to support local community organisations in Shropshire. You can apply for
an emergency grant via our website for projects that are working to support
local people affected by the Covid-19 crisis.
The aim of the fund is to support organisations with the immediate and
unexpected costs the COVID-19 virus has created. Organisations would need
to be supporting members of the community. Grants are available to
support with the costs of providing a vital service to the community.
