Regional Environment Strategy
OUR ENVIRONMENT, OUR FUTURE THE REGIONAL ENVIRONMENT STRATEGY FOR THE EAST OF ENGLAND Produced by a joint working group representing The East of England Regional Assembly and The East of England Environment Forum JULY 2003 ‘OUR ENVIRONMENT, OUR FUTURE’ THE REGIONAL ENVIRONMENT STRATEGY FOR THE EAST OF ENGLAND PRODUCED BY A JOINT WORKING GROUP REPRESENTING THE EAST OF ENGLAND REGIONAL ASSEMBLY AND THE EAST OF ENGLAND ENVIRONMENT FORUM JULY 2003 FOREWORD This first Environment Strategy for the East of England region catalogues and celebrates the many diverse environmental assets which will have a crucial bearing on the continued economic and social development of the Region. This Strategy will complement the other regional strategies within the Regional Assembly’s family of ‘Integrated Regional Strategies’. It deliberately makes key linkages between the environmental assets of the region, and economic development and social inclusion. The delivery of the Strategy will be the responsibility of Government, local authorities and other public and private sector bodies, and the voluntary sector. Crucially, everyone who lives and works in the East of England and values the region as a diverse natural and built Further Information landscape, is an important stakeholder. The very act of producing the Strategy has raised many issues, challenges and missing If you have questions about the Regional Environment Strategy, or would like to find out linkages. We hope above all that the Strategy will assist our regional partners in focussing more about how the region is moving towards a more sustainable future, please contact: environmental consciousness at the forefront of other strands of public policy making. -
Cambridge Nature Network Final Report
Cambridge Nature Network Final Report FOREWORD I’m delighted to introduce this important report. For years, now, we have known we need to ensure nature’s recovery, and for years that has been an all-too-elusive ambition. In fact, we are still overseeing nature’s decline. It’s a ship that simply must be turned around. Now we have a clear way forward. This report, building on the ambition to double nature in Cambridgeshire, tells us precisely how and where we can do it. Working from the ground up, looking at real places and the actual state of nature, it offers for the first time a tangible plan for the revitalisation of nature in the 10km around the city of Cambridge, based on what is already there and how it can be brought back to life. And there’s more. Fully integrated with the vision for nature recovery is one for the enhancement and creation of green spaces for public recreation and refreshment – vital needs, as we have come to understand fully during the covid-19 crisis. The risk with nature recovery is that in our enthusiasm we may do the wrong thing in the wrong place: plant trees on peat or valuable grassland, or put hedgerows in where the landscape should be open. This report will ensure we do the right thing in the right place. It provides a place-based analysis of where existing nature sites can be enhanced, what kind of nature-friendly farming to encourage, how to create stepping-stones to create new, linked nature networks, and how, overall, the ambition for doubling nature can be met. -
MINUTES Date: Thursday 16Th June 2016 Time: 10.00Am
PLANNING COMMITTEE: MINUTES Date: Thursday 16th June 2016 Time: 10.00am – 12.05pm Place: Kreis Viersen Room, Shire Hall, Cambridge Present: Councillors P Ashcroft, B Ashwood, D Connor, L Harford, W Hunt, S Kindersley, A Lay, M Loynes, J Scutt and M Smith 186. APOLOGIES AND DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST Apologies for absence were received from Councillor Mason. There were no declarations of interest. 187. MINUTES – 12TH MAY 2016 The minutes of the Planning Committee meeting held on 12th May 2016 were agreed as a correct record and signed by the Chairman. The Chairman advised Members that it had been brought to his attention that a member of the public had tried to register their intention to speak against the application within the allocated timescale but due to an IT issue, their request was not received by Democratic Services in time. Therefore on that basis, a member of the public that had registered in time had been informed they would be given the full five minutes to speak. The Chairman therefore proposed to exercise his discretion and amend protocol in this instance and allow all speakers, including those in support of the application, to speak for five minutes. The Chairman highlighted that the amendment was seen to be an exceptional circumstance and as such the adjustment would not be seen to set a precedent for any future meetings of the Planning Committee. 188.

The Land Army
Stibbington Home Front Memories Project – Part 7 Land Army the Woman’s Role THE LAND ARMY The landgirls carried out a vital role on the farms, and for many, coming from factory work or domestic service, discovering the countryside was quite an eye opener! A whole range of new skills were waiting to be mastered. Clearly, in the early days, adaptations had to be made – one article in the Stamford Mercury in November 1939 declares: ‘It Isn’t Done on the Farm Not Fair to Milk With Pointed Nails Advice For Landgirls’ In May 1940, Lady Spencer visited Sacrewell, Burghley Estate and Fotheringhay Dairy and reported just how much the girls were enjoying their work. In January 1942, the first hostel for landgirls opened in Barnack, and the following extracts give a taste of what life was like for them: [PA 30/1/42] [1] Stibbington Home Front Memories Project – Part 7 Land Army the Woman’s Role [PA 30/1/42] A second hostel for 25 Londoners opened in Newborough later that year, and the previously empty Rectory at Thornhaugh was taken over to house another 26 girls. The girls get a couple of other mentions in the press, once when the Barnack Hostel presented Cinderella, ‘a delightful show’, and again when Evelyn Gamble and Maisie Peacock from Thornhaugh were each fined 2s 6d (12½p) at Norman Cross Court for riding two on one bicycle at Stibbington! OTHER ROLES FOR WOMEN Well before war was declared, women were being prepared for voluntary roles. In June 1939, for example, there was a report of a rally of women drivers at Woodcroft Castle, Etton ‘tests in wheel changing and driving wearing a respirator this week, map reading classes next week’ There were calls in 1940 for women who could ride a bicycle to act as messengers for parachute patrols; details of the Peterborough House WiVeS Service were published, encouraging those women unavailable to volunteer for Civil Defence Services who would however be able to offer help to neighbours in their immediate locality in the event of a raid. -
