However it also carries a virus Alan Darrant which is deadly to the red and therefore they cannot co-exist. This virus does not seem to affect the grey squirrel, so it is simply a carrier.

How many times have you seen a youngish Sycamore tree with of ash die back and other tree diseases, a major expense several dead branches in the Sid valley? Quite a lot, and this is most likely will be felling dead trees. Should they be left for wild bees’, caused by the grey squirrel. Similar damage can be seen on Beech, Oak, Sweet owls’ and woodpeckers’ nests or should they be felled for public safety? Another dilemma is whether to remove ivy from tree trunks – a valuable source of nectar for bees or an extra burden on the tree? Should hedges be cut or left as foraging areas for bats, dormice and bees? The wildlife and its conservation in the Valley is of the utmost importance. The report from Woodlands and Estates describes the problems of squirrels as a pest, whilst the Sidmouth Arboretum article advises which trees to plant with bees in mind. January’s talk on bees will give us more insight into this subject. The disappearance of orchards, as described in Norma Cox’s article later in the magazine, also contributes to a significant loss of apple blossom for nectar foraging. Also in this issue are articles on the Sidmouth soldiers killed in the Battle of the Somme 100 years ago, our new book on Sidmouth lace, the Museum’s rare and valuable 190 year old accordion, the Scouts Himalayan balsam bashing, the Keith Owen Fund’s contribution to local causes including the new Scout Centre, Sidmouth in Bloom, the Literary Festival, and the refurbishment of Queen Victoria’s window in the Parish Church, and news of talks and walks.

  • Annex 1 Future High Streets Fund – Analysis
    Annex 1 Future High Streets Fund – Analysis The purpose of this document is to summarise the application process and key criteria associated with the Future High Streets (FHS) Fund, and present the potential town candidates which could form the basis of East Devon’s single Expression of Interest bid. This document has been compiled by officers across the council including planners, surveyors and economic development officers. Background The deadline for the submission of Expressions of Interest is 22 Mar 2019. There is likely to be a later opportunity to bid for the Fund as well. Initial awareness of the Fund emerged in autumn 2018 with fuller detail in December 2018 and then supplementary guidance more recently. As government has released more detailed information we have also sought clarification on what is and isn’t eligible or likely to be favoured. If we were to submit a bid for one of our established towns it should be recognised from the individual and collective analysis below that our high streets are not failing nor would those communities necessarily recognise or accept transformational intervention to solve a problem that isn’t significant i.e. replacing retail with alternative high street functions. However, it is also clear that other authorities not so different from nor far away from ours are preparing bids for some of their town centres. Government has said that it would like to see high streets across the regions benefit so it may well be willing to consider and work with bids of varying levels of under-performance to ensure a geographic spread.

  • Statement of Gemma Hatton Re O.P.A
    Statement of Gemma Hatton re O.P.A Intro by Lorna My name is Gemma Hatton, aged 31, married with three children under eleven, 2 boys and one girl. I was born and educated in Lyme Regis and my family have lived there for many generations. We were living in a two bedroom housing association flat in Lyme Regis and there seemed to be no prospect of obtaining a three bedroom property anytime soon, due to the waiting list being so long and open to people from all of West Dorset, not just those with a local connection. We were fortunate to be able to bid for a three bedroomed council owned dwelling in the village of Dalwood which is some ten miles from Lyme Regis. My husband was at that time working in Axminster and I was working in Musbury both of which are in Devon, that gave us a local connection. Dalwood is a nice friendly place but there is no school, so this means a trip of about three miles across the A35 to Shute. In Lyme of course we would have been able to walk to school. My husband now works in Lyme Regis and travels approximately 100 miles per week to his job. I too am still actively involved with Lyme Regis life which means a 20 mile round trip to attend rehearsals or to visit our extensive families. I have two grandparents, my own and my husband’s parents, our sisters and many other close relations all living in Lyme Regis. Whilst we have settled well in Dalwood, our family would have definitely stayed in Lyme Regis to be close to our families, if we thought a three bedroomed house would have been available within a reasonable time frame.
