It illustrates how much need there was for a cycle route Association (now to be called an active travel way) between Minsterley and Shrewsbury (undoubtedly the need has increased Annual Show significantly since then) together with how much income could be generated by such a route.

  • Planning Wars
    February 2019 February 2019 ! Free PLANNING WARS An emotive email about planning applications and how these can become divisive has been circulated by local councillor Heather Kidd. In it she states: “Waging war on individuals, making an application personal helps no one and often divides communities. Shouting at people or threatening them will achieve nothing except bad feeling and long lasting ramifications in communities. They have no effect on Planners and their decisions.” • Heather’s plea: Page 11 Return of the peregrine falcon Natural England has reported sightings of peregrine falcons around the Stiperstones over the Christmas period. The peregrine falcon has survived a government ordered cull in 1940 of some 600 birds, followed by the threat of DDT in pesticides in later years. Simon Cooter writes: “Since the ban of DDT in 1980 this remarkable bird has made an incredible recovery and is now widespread across the UK” • Simon Cooter: Page 27 Snailbeach District News - Issue 355 Page 1 February 2019 Get the latest from us online snailbeachdistrictnews.co.uk Notes from February The Editor CONTENTS I need some HELP!

    LONGDEN and ANNSCROFT with PULVERBATCH- Benefice of Great Hanwood, Longden and Annscroft with Pulverbatch May 2020 DAY 4 AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL www.amnesty.org.uk notes from Ian Ross We are ordinary people from across the world standing up for humanity and human rights. BAD NEWS Iran Women and girls in Iran are not allowed to leave their homes unless they cover their hair with a headscarf and cover up their arms and legs with loose clothing. A movement against the compulsory hijab erupted in Iran in 2017 when one woman staged a solo act of resistance. She removed her headscarf and silently waved it on the end of a stick. Countless women across the country joined her, staging their own protests. They become known as the “Girls of Revolution Street.” In 2018, Nasrin defended some of these women who faced prose- cution. Now, Nasrin has been sentenced to 38 years in prison and 148 lashes after two grossly unfair trials, and is separated from her husband and two children. Women should be able to choose what they wear, and lawyers should be able to defend their right to do so. This is the harshest sentence recorded against a human rights defender in Iran in recent years, suggesting that the authorities are stepping up their repression. Help free Nasrin This isn’t the first time Nasrin has been targeted. In 2010 she was sentenced to six years in prison for her human rights work. But when thousands of people like you stood up to demand her freedom, she was pardoned and released.
