The C2C TWAO has been granted, with powers to compulsorily purchase land and fell hundreds of mature trees across Madingley Hill and Coton Orchard. They accept the harm is likely permanent, but approved it anyway. gov.uk/government/publicatioโฆ

Wassailing wasnโt just singing. It was a winter blessing for orchards, where people toasted trees with cider and hung bits of bread for the robins. A good harvest began with a good song. #FolkloreThursday

And donโt forget the financial exposure of the GCP schemes running over budget and the significant cash flow deficits. Borrowings not having been accounted for in the Countyโs capital strategy as the accountable body.

Judge Mark Bishop called CCC โrigid and blinkeredโ in the St Ives Busway HSE ruling. The same mindset underpins all their decisions. CSET gas pipeline. C2C overlaps with the Madingley Hill reservoir and EWR. Huge cash deficits. Yet CCC pushes on, ignoring sensible alternatives ๐

Sent this of effect of ash dieback at Madingley Wood.
Not one of the reserves managed by @wildlifebcn in the report below.
Woodlands in crisis:
Nearly 6,000 trees were examined by @wildlifebcn across 21 sites. Overall, almost a third (29 per cent) of trees were affected by disease. For ash, the figure was far higher, at 82 per cent.

In @thetimes @LiddleRod calls these โstories of vanishingly small importanceโ happening โin every town or city,โ where โthe beauty of our surroundingsโ is quietly eroded. The @CambsCC bonkers busway is one of them. The Inquiry has wrapped and now we face months of waiting โ but we canโt let the decision be made in the shadows. Speaking up matters. Please keep watching thetimes.com/article/1c8ccd1โฆ

The trees that are โtoo shortโ for animals to graze under, โtoo closeโ to be a traditional orchard, the meadow that is โspecies poorโ, the non-fruit trees that donโt even exist and the grass that is โover mownโ ๐
