Bucknell Newsletter including Bedstone and Brampton Bryan Summer 2016 No: 11 2 Bucknell Newsletter Summer 2016 From the editor Somewhat later than intended, but I hope this doesn’t detract from your enjoyment of this edition. Communication in our rural community is so important as it has the power to bring people together and ensure everyone knows what’s taking place. If you’re about to organise an event or have news you’d like to share, please contact me in good time with the details. Articles, jokes and feedback are also especially welcome. Thank you to all the advertisers who pay promptly and keep the newsletter afloat. Without your support there would be no newsletter. Do please read the article about the Midlands Air Ambulance Charity. It provides such a vital life-saving service and deserves our support. Finally, a personal plea. If you’d be willing to help with compiling the newsletter, I could really do with some help - a voluntary activity seems to be turning into a full-time job!

    2020 UCCWG Short Report

    Upper Clun Community Wildlife Group www.ShropsCWGs.co.uk Annual Report 2020 Summary The full report can be found on the website Birds We found 6-8 breeding pairs of Curlew. All are on high ground above 350m. in the west. The population has declined steadily since our first survey found 21-22 pairs in 2007. We have no evidence that any young fledged. We are working with the Shropshire Ornithological Society Save our Curlews Campaign. In 2018 and 2019 we found nests and protected them with electric fences, then attached radio tags to chicks when they hatched, to see how they used the landscape and what happened to them. We wanted to do the same this year, but were prevented by Covid19. We will do it again next year. Lapwings declined from 6 pairs in 2004 by around a pair a year up until 2010; only two pairs have been found since, both in 2012. No young are known to have fledged since 2008, so Lapwings appear to be extinct as a breeding species. Snipe have disappeared too, the last known breeding on Rhos Fiddle in 2009. Kestrels are declining, and only one nest was found. Six Red Kite nests were found including a new one. At least five nests were successful, producing a total of at least 8 young. Red Kite is a conservation success story. First breeding in the area was in 2007, and since then a total of 51 nests have been found, of which 35 were successful, producing 51 young. Dippers inhabit the fast-flowing rocky streams.

  • Rural Settlement List 2014

    Rural Settlement List 2014

    National Non Domestic Rates RURAL SETTLEMENT LIST 2014 1 1. Background Legislation With effect from 1st April 1998, the Local Government Finance and Rating Act 1997 introduced a scheme of mandatory rate relief for certain kinds of hereditament situated in ‘rural settlements’. A ‘rural settlement’ is defined as a settlement that has a population of not more than 3,000 on 31st December immediately before the chargeable year in question. The Non-Domestic Rating (Rural Settlements) (England) (Amendment) Order 2009 (S.I. 2009/3176) prescribes the following hereditaments as being eligible with effect from 1st April 2010:- Sole food shop within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £8,500; Sole general store within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £8,500; Sole post office within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £8,500; Sole public house within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £12,500; Sole petrol filling station within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £12,500; Section 47 of the Local Government Finance Act 1988 provides that a billing authority may grant discretionary relief for hereditaments to which mandatory relief applies, and additionally to any hereditament within a rural settlement which is used for purposes which are of benefit to the local community. Sections 42A and 42B of Schedule 1 of the Local Government and Rating Act 1997 dictate that each Billing Authority must prepare and maintain a Rural Settlement List, which is to identify any settlements which:- a) Are wholly or partly within the authority’s area; b) Appear to have a population of not more than 3,000 on 31st December immediately before the chargeable financial year in question; and c) Are, in that financial year, wholly or partly, within an area designated for the purpose.
  • How Family Farms in the Shropshire Hills AONB Are Adapting To

    How Family Farms in the Shropshire Hills AONB Are Adapting To

    How family farms in the Shropshire Hills AONB 1 are adapting to agricultural change Vicky Wooda and David Gibbonb a. Farming Community Officer, Shropshire Hills AONB, [email protected] b. Agricultural and Rural Livelihood Systems, UK [email protected] Keywords: family farms, uplands, agri-environmental schemes, diversification, sustainability Abstract Family farms in the Shropshire Hills are important as food producers, but are also vital in maintaining the special landscapes of this area, as well as contributing to the rural economy and to local community development. However, managing an upland family farm as an economically sustainable business and livelihood in today’s agricultural climate is challenging. Previous data collected for this area showed that: average incomes are low, succession is problematic for all as the average age of the farmers is almost 60, many farmers work very long hours without help in terms of time and labour and there is an overall sense of isolation from the local community by many. The paper presents a cross section of family farm case studies in the Shropshire Hills, examining how these farms have changed, or are planning to change, their mode of action in order to address the challenge of running an economically sustainable family farm. The paper looks at six farms, examining their uptake of agri-environmental schemes and any changes in farm management that such schemes may have prompted, examples of diversification such as eco- tourism, links with local markets and consumers, and farm long-term financial viability. The main conclusion from this study is that farmers adopt very different strategies and enterprises which are intended to make their livelihoods more sustainable, so there is clearly not one model that is successful in all circumstances.
