THE GREAT COLLABORATION-LOCAL ACTION FOR SUSTAINABILITY
At the Sustainability Café held in Linton Village Hall on the 9th March, we introduced ‘The Great Collaboration”. This was originally devised in Fownhope to help capture what the parishioners were doing to reduce carbon and improve sustainability. It has now been rolled out nationally and is a toolkit to allow councils - both parish and county - to see what people are doing or not doing in their area. This data is anonymous but provides insight as to what is happening locally on a parish-by-parish basis.
By registering with ‘The Great Collaboration” and committing to carbon reduction, you’ll be having your say in how local environmental policy is formed to meet the specific circumstances of residents where you live. By using the Toolkit, your local councils will be able to see what is already being done in your community, what people are planning to do, and what’s holding them back from taking certain actions. They can use this information to inform their planning and decision making, to come up with support that is relevant to what’s actually happening in your area. There are currently 64 specific actions that you can choose - many you may have done, others you feel you cannot do, or you can commit to doing more. A lot of them are free and just reading through the list will give inspiration as to how you can do more – from changing your heating to writing to your MP. Please head over to greatcollaboration.uk, sign up and help to influence local policy. 

 

Don’t forget the next cafè is 13th April between 10am and 12noon at Gorsley Village Hall where we will be focusing on helping you recycle your old tec.

WAITES OF GLOUCESTER
Also on Saturday 13th April we are delighted to have an evening of music by The Waites of Gloucester.

BIBLE BRUNCH 
14th April: Romans Course
Paul’s letter to the Christians in Rome contains some passages which have comforted Christians down the ages Join us on the second Sunday of the month at Linton Village Hall to unpack this letter which has been described as the most important letter in history.  It had a profound influence on greats such as St Augustine, Martin Luther, John Wesley and even David Suchet.  
The mornings start with brunch at 10.30am before a combination of videos and discussion material, produced by The Bible Society, take us through the letter in 10 episodes.

ALL-AGE MORNING WORSHIP
April sees a slight change to our patterns of service with Communion services now on the first and last Sundays and All-Age Morning Worship on the third Sunday. The All-Age Morning Worship is on 21st April, looking at Love and Kindness.  People of every age are warmly invited to all our services.  Refreshments afterwards.

NEW PEDESTRIAN GATES FOR THE PLATINUM JUBILEE WALK
You may have noticed that all of the nine stiles along the route of the Platinum Jubilee walk have recently been replaced with pedestrian gates.  This has been done through a grant from the AONB and organised through the Ross ‘Walkers are Welcome’ group.   This has the double benefit of replacing some of the old stiles in our footpath network and also providing easier access for walkers.  The Parish Council therefore wishes to extend a thanks to the AONB for the grant funding, to Walkers are Welcome for all their effort and enthusiasm in making it happen and to the local landowners for their cooperation.  The gates are designed to be self-closing but do still check to make sure that they close behind you!  
For those who aren’t aware, the Platinum Jubilee walk is a 6 mile circular walk created to celebrate the Jubilee in 2022.  You can download a guide to the walk from the Herefordshire Council website.
