  • Iconic Bees: 12 Reports on UK Bee Species
    Iconic Bees: 12 reports on UK bee species Bees are vital to the ecology of the UK and provide significant social and economic benefits through crop pollination and maintaining the character of the landscape. Recent years have seen substantial declines in many species of bees within the UK. This report takes a closer look at how 12 ‘iconic’ bee species are faring in each English region, as well as Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland. Authors Rebecca L. Evans and Simon G. Potts, University of Reading. Photo: © Amelia Collins Contents 1 Summary 2 East England Sea-aster Mining Bee 6 East Midlands Large Garden Bumblebee 10 London Buff-tailed Bumblebee 14 North East Bilberry Bumblebee 18 North West Wall Mason Bee 22 Northern Ireland Northern Colletes 26 Scotland Great Yellow Bumblebee 30 South East England Potter Flower Bee 34 South West England Scabious Bee 38 Wales Large Mason Bee 42 West Midlands Long-horned Bee 46 Yorkshire Tormentil Mining Bee Through collating information on the 12 iconic bee species, common themes have Summary emerged on the causes of decline, and the actions that can be taken to help reverse it. The most pervasive causes of bee species decline are to be found in the way our countryside has changed in the past 60 years. Intensification of grazing regimes, an increase in pesticide use, loss of biodiverse field margins and hedgerows, the trend towards sterile monoculture, insensitive development and the sprawl of towns and cities are the main factors in this. I agree with the need for a comprehensive Bee Action Plan led by the UK Government in order to counteract these causes of decline, as called for by Friends of the Earth.

  • THE COASTAL COMMUNITIES of SOUTH EAST ENGLAND Recommendations to the South East
    THE COASTAL COMMUNITIES OF SOUTH EAST ENGLAND Recommendations to the South East LEP Prof Steve Fothergill Centre for Regional Economic and Social Research Sheffield Hallam University Final report December 2012 1 Summary This report considers the policy implications arising from a statistical review of the South East’s coastal communities, completed in April 2012. It also builds on discussions involving coastal local authorities, private sector representatives and other local partners. The statistical review identified the South East’s coastal communities, which have a combined population of one million or around a quarter of the LEP total, as on average an area of social and economic disadvantage, well adrift of LEP averages and sometimes behind national averages as well. The review also flagged up important differences between places along the coast and put forward a six-fold classification of areas that has won wide support. The present report makes ten recommendations: 1. The South East LEP needs to be ‘spatially aware’. The big internal differences within the LEP area, and in particular the distinctive needs of the coastal strip, need to inform the full range of LEP activities. 2. Strategic plans and priorities should give special attention to the coastal strip. This includes in the allocation of resources. 3. Transport links to parts of the coast need improvement. Accessibility remains an important constraint in a number of local areas. 4. The seaside tourist industry should be treated as one of the drivers of economic growth. Tourism along the coast continues to employ as many people as manufacturing, and there are opportunities for growth.

Conclusions 20 Summary In February 2006, Ministers asked the Environment Agency to review the need for such large-scale transfers of water to south east England. We reported our preliminary findings at the Secretary of State’s water meeting on 1 June 2006. This report provides our assessment of the need for large-scale water transfers to south east England. We conclude that there is no new evidence of a need for large-scale transfers of water to south east England from the north of England or from Wales.

  • Is the Greater South East a Mega-City Region?
    IS THE GREATER SOUTH EAST A MEGA-CITY REGION? Paper presented to a seminar held by the Institute for Public Policy Research (ippr). Professor Peter Hall Institute of Community Studies, London 10th December 2004 A paper commissioned for ippr’s Commission on Sustainable Development in the South East and Centre for Cities. www.ippr.org IS THE GREATER SOUTH EAST A MEGA-CITY REGION? Peter Hall This paper presents a new geographical-planning concept: the Mega-City region, object of a major new EU-funded research project, POLYNET (Section 1). It presents some technical building blocks, importantly explaining that this is a concept dependent on functionally-defined urban areas, not conventional administrative units (Section 2). It introduces a suggested South East Mega-City region, the biggest of eight such regions studied in the POLYNET project (Section 3). It then presents key findings on the region: on population (Section 4), employment (Section 4), commuting (Section 5), and the measurement of polycentricity (Section 6). It then presents a summary account of attempts at strategic planning of the region over the past half- century (Section 7) before a more speculative discussion of future options for its planning and governance (Section 8). The main conclusions are then summarised (Section 9). This paper makes use of POLYNET findings and data, although the views presented are the author’s own and not those of the POLYNET team. The paper does not necessarily represent the views of the Institute for Public Policy Research (ippr). 1. The Mega-City Region: A New Spatial Concept South East England is an example of an emergent urban phenomenon in course of formation in the most highly-urbanised parts of the world: the Polycentric Mega-City-Region.

In Britain the term Prehistory refers to the period before Britain became part of the Roman empire in AD 43. The prehistoric period in Britain lasted for hundreds of thousands of years and this long period of time is usually divided into: Palaeolithic, Mesolithic, Neolithic (sometimes these three periods are combined and called the Stone Age), Bronze Age and Iron Age. Each of these periods might also be sub-divided into early, middle and late. The Palaeolithic is often divided into lower, middle and upper. Early Britain British Isles: Humans probably first arrived in Britain around 800,000 BC. These early inhabitants had to cope with extreme environmental changes and they left Britain at least seven times when conditions became too bad.
