  • 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 Morris Brothers(Sons of Charles Henry and Emily Morris)
    Great War in the Villages Project The Morris Brothers (sons of Charles Henry and Emily Morris). Prior to the commencement of the Great War there were two families that shared the same surname of Morris living within the parishes of Wellesbourne. The family of Henry Charles Morris and Emily, his wife, were relative newcomers to the area whereas John Henry and Alice Morris could trace their roots within Wellesbourne to at least the 18th century. It appears that the families were not closely related. Entries in the local South Warwickshire newspapers during the years of the Great War suggested that there were two members of Henry Charles’s family that served in that war, his sons Harry and Jesse. Henry Charles Morris was born during the early months of 1867 in the south Oxfordshire village of Horspath. He married Emily Pinn in Headington, Oxfordshire during the spring or early summer of 1892. She was also a native of the county. Recordsi suggest that the couple had 11 children yet only 6 survived infancy. Harry Morris. Private, Oxford & Bucks Light Infantry (Believed). Harry was born on the 13th October 1894 in Headington Oxfordshire and subsequently baptised in the Holy Trinity Church of Headington Quarry on 25th November of the same year. The family then appeared to move around the country possibly as his father sought work. They arrived in Wellesbourne around January 1905 when his son Harry was registered to join the village schoolii, the family having previously lived in Chandlers Ford, Hampshire. The 1911 census, the last prior to the commencement of the Great War, indicates that Harry, then aged 16 years worked as a General Labourer.

  • Technical Note
    Technical note Project: Stratford-on-Avon To: Warwickshire County Council Additional Road Capacity Subject: Evidence Review From: Atkins Date: May 2016 cc: 1. Introduction 1.1. Background to the Study Atkins has been commissioned by Warwickshire County Council (WCC) to undertake a study to evaluate the impact of additional highway capacity in Stratford-on-Avon. This is in response to a number of existing transport issues within the area and to take account of the likely impact of Stratford on Avon District Council’s proposals for potential housing and employment growth sites for the Local Development Framework up to 2031. The study will also assess whether there are opportunities for reducing traffic dominance in the town centre (e.g. on Bridge Street, High Street and Clopton Bridge) as a result of the provision of additional highway capacity. A number of discrete tasks have been identified as being required for this Study. A list of the tasks is shown below: (i) Stage 1 - Evidence Review (ii) Stage 2 - Road Capacity Options (iii) Stage 3 - Assessment of Options (iv) Stage 4 - Cost assessment (v) Stage 5 - Cost-benefit Analysis (vi) Stage 6 - High level environmental assessment (vii) Stage 7 - Town Centre Benefits (viii) Stage 8 - Recommended Approach This Technical Note presents the findings from Stage 1 – Evidence Review. 1.2. Purpose of the Evidence Review A review of pre-existing datasets and documentation has been undertaken to identify the existing and future transport related issues and problems affecting Stratford-on-Avon. The aim of this review is to summarise the network conditions and local travel demand behaviours relevant to Stratford-on-Avon.
