These benefits include the storage and capture of carbon, rainfall interception, shading and many others. These services are provided for free by nature to society. It is possible to value some of these services in economic terms by calculating the cost of society providing these services in another way without the benefit of nature. TVERC used the i‐Tree Canopy tool to estimate tree cover and the benefits that these trees provide. Based on this study, Slough has an estimated tree canopy cover of 16.8%. This tree cover provides annual benefits of approximately £380,000 to the residents and businesses of Slough. Tree canopy cover in Slough is below the recommended target for urban tree cover of 20%.

  • Quarter 1 Appendix a , Item 13. PDF 301 KB
    Shropshire Council Monthly Investment Analysis Review June 2020 Shropshire Council Monthly Economic Summary General Economy The “Flash” (i.e. provisional) Manufacturing UK PMI rose to 50.1 in June from May’s final release of 40.7, suggesting there was a stabilisation in manufacturing activity following the downturn recorded in the previous three months as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. In a similar vein, the “Flash” Services PMI rose to 47.0 in June from 29.0 in May, signalling the slowest pace of contraction in service sector output since the start of the downturn in March. As a result, the Flash Composite PMI reached 47.6 in June compared to 30.0 in May. This was the largest monthly increase since the series began in 1998 and exceeding market forecasts of a rise to 41. In the process, the Composite PMI illustrated that the easing of restrictions related to the coronavirus has had a favourable impact on economic activity, with business operations gradually resuming in a number of sectors and staff brought back from furlough. Meanwhile, the Construction PMI, which is released on a different timescale, rose to 28.9 in May from an all-time low of 8.2 in April, reflecting a gradual reopening of construction sites following lockdown measures being eased in the UK. The final reading of first quarter GDP was confirmed at 2.2% q/q and 1.7% y/y, which was marginally lower than preliminary estimates, as the coronavirus lockdown weighed on activity. More timely GDP data for April, however, confirmed that the economy shrank 20.4% m/m compared to March, as government restrictions on movement dramatically reduced economic activity.
