The Bishop of Peterborough then issued an investigation into the state of Peterborough Cathedral’s finances which produced a report recommending the appointment of a Chief Executive Officer.

    Explore The Weald Moors A guide to the habitat, flora and fauna of east Shropshire’s largest wetland landscape EXPLORE THE WEALD MOORS A few miles beyond the historic market town of Wellington one of Shropshire’s largest and most elusive wetland landscapes begins to unfold. This is a place for quiet reflection but one where the serenity of apparent wilderness disguises mankind’s influence at every turn. Here, you’ll find an enduring stronghold for some increasingly rare wildlife, so come with us now and let’s explore the fascinating natural heritage of the wild and evocative Weald Moors… EXPLORE THE WEALD MOORS EXPLORE The East Shropshire Moorlands Flat, low-lying, and poorly drained, the Weald Moors had the ideal recipe for wetland development but how did this perfect storm ever arise?

  • Arboricultural Report Trees on Rocks Green Development Site, Ludlow, Shropshire Pickstock Homes March 2021
    Arboricultural Report Trees on Rocks Green Development Site, Ludlow, Shropshire Pickstock Homes March 2021 1. Instructions and scope of report My instructions are: 1) To assess the health and condition of several Ash trees on site 2) To consider their appropriateness to the site and its future use This survey follows up on the BS 5837 survey carried out by Sylvan Resources Ltd in October 2017. The plan in Appendix 1 indicates the locations of the trees identified in the initial survey. The relevant trees are numbers; 2, 3 and 13. 2. Instructions received from Pickstock Homes, 17 Mile Oak, Maesbury Road, Oswestry, Shropshire SY10 8GA 3. Background to Ash dieback and the current situation at Rocks Green Ash dieback, Hymenoscyphus pseudoalbidus or Chalara, is a damaging disease affecting Ash trees by causing leaf loss and crown dieback. Early sightings of the disease were discovered around 2012 – 2013 in South-East England. Since then it has spread across the UK and was first detected in Ludlow, Shropshire in 2016. Guidance indicates that it is better to retain Ash wherever possible because of the contribution they make to ecosystems. However, where public safety is concerned, complications resulting from the disease present increased risks. These arise from weakened crowns, deadwood, reduced stability and the increased likelihood of further infection in neighbouring trees. Ash dieback has been observed in the Ludlow area and there is a high likelihood that Ash trees on this site will become infected if they have not already. 4. Tree 2 The previous report considered Tree 2 to be healthy, although it had some root damage and a crack on the north side of its stem (Appendix 2).
