BOOKING ESSENTIAL. 4 THE WYNNSTAY ARMS 5 By now you may have heard that the Government has announced two things which affect our campaign to save free TV licences for over 75s. They are launching a consultation on whether to ‘decriminalise’ the Licence Fee and have announced a new ‘Simple Payment Plan’ so people can pay their Fee monthly rather than in one lump sum. For those just getting by, the Simple Payment Plan doesn’t go far enough – spreading out your payments doesn’t make £157.50 extra a year any more affordable. And even if enforcement of the Licence Fee happens through the civil rather than the criminal courts, older people could still receive a visit from the bailiffs if they can’t pay. Whatever the future of the licence fee, in 116 days four million over 75s will lose their free TV licence. We can’t let that happen. That’s why the Government and the BBC need to urgently work together to find a solution. And why we’ll continue to fight to save the free TV licence for all over 75s and keep working so your voice is heard.

  • Town Tree Cover in Wrexham County Borough
    1 Town Tree Cover in Wrexham County Borough Understanding canopy cover to better plan and manage our urban trees 2 Foreword Introducing a world-first for Wales is a great pleasure, particularly as it relates to greater knowledge about the hugely valuable woodland and tree resource in our towns and cities. We are the first country in the world to have undertaken a country-wide urban canopy cover survey. The resulting evidence base set out in this supplementary county specific study for Wrexham County Borough will help all of us - from community tree interest groups to urban planners and decision-makers in local authorities Emyr Roberts Diane McCrea and our national government - to understand what we need to do to safeguard this powerful and versatile natural asset. Trees are an essential component of our urban ecosystems, delivering a range of services to help sustain life, promote well-being, and support economic benefits. They make our towns and cities more attractive to live in - encouraging inward investment, improving the energy efficiency of buildings – as well as removing air borne pollutants and connecting people with nature. They can also mitigate the extremes of climate change, helping to reduce storm water run-off and the urban heat island. Natural Resources Wales is committed to working with colleagues in the Welsh Government and in public, third and private sector organisations throughout Wales, to build on this work and promote a strategic approach to managing our existing urban trees, and to planting more where they will

The tree has been showing signs of ill health for the last two years, with the tree producing far fewer leaves than normal, making the canopy look ‘thin’. Over the summer the Wrexham Councils Senior Tree Officer identified a large fungus growing at the base of the tree as Meripilus giganteus (Giant Polypore). Unfortunately Meripilus is a fungus which causes ‘white rot’ in the tree, breaking down lignin which gives wood its strength and rigidity. As the tree was close to a very busy path, our tree officer had for reasons of health and safety, no choice but to instruct contractors to fell the tree. The trunk of the tree has been turned into two benches, one has been sited on the edge of the playing field next to the tall poplar trees, while the other is near the shelter adjacent to Ruthin Road. At about 150 years old, the felled beech was the oldest tree in Bellevue and was the only tree to be growing before the parks creation in 1910. The old maps show that the area as open fields At about 150 on the edge of Wrexham. The shape of the tree, with the trunk years old, the separating into lots of branches just above head height, hinted at felled beech possible pollarding early in its life.
