  • The Worcestershire Biodiversity Action Plan
    The Worcestershire Biodiversity Action Plan Abstract Following its commitment to the 1992 Convention on Biological Diversity the UK began to develop a policy and strategy framework, beginning with Biodiversity Action Plans and recently with a focus on ecological networks and green infrastructure. This project contributed to Worcestershire’s Biodiversity Action Plan review process by demonstrating how green infrastructure (GI) can be identified and delivered in the Urban Habitat Action Plan. GI provides multifunctional benefits, so will help encourage biodiversity through a wide network of green spaces and corridors in urban and natural environments. It is crucial that biodiversity is conserved and sustainably managed for future generations because it provides direct and indirect services for people, such as food and climate regulation. i Worcestershire Biodiversity Action Plan 2018 H14 Urban HAP Table of Contents Abstract ................................................................................................................................................... i Table of Contents .................................................................................................................................... ii Table of Figures ...................................................................................................................................... iii Abbreviations ......................................................................................................................................... iv 1 Introduction

These intangible features require protection and considerate development within the boundaries. One parish but Hanley Castle and Hanley Swan are different villages. They have nothing in common. Please do not confuse matters by assuming they are one. As an issue of heritage it is important that they retain their own identities.

Home Choice Plus is a way of allocating housing and advertising other housing options across the participating Local Authority areas. (Home Choice Plus will also be used for advertising other housing options such as private rents and intermediate rents). This booklet explains how to look for housing across all of the Districts involved in this scheme. Please see website for further information. Who is eligible to join the Home Choice Plus register? • Some people travelling to the United Kingdom are not entitled to Housing Association accommodation on the basis of their immigration status. • You may be excluded if you have a history of serious rent arrears or anti social behaviour.

  • Asset Mapping Including Report Fote Malvern 2020
    Asset Mapping Asset mapping is a widely used approach, based on the assumption that every community has a range of assets, relationships, and networks that are of great value. By bringing local stakeholders together, the approach enables the community to become aware of the assets it has that relate to a particular focus. It highlights how these can be utilised for the greater good. We have been re-visiting the attached Mapping Assets for People Living with Dementia in Malvern Report (Evans & Brooker, 2020) in the light of Meeting Centre developments in the UK. This provides a report of an Asset Mapping exercise that was undertaken in the Worcestershire town of Malvern. This work was commissioned by a national Charity called Friends of the Elderly (FoTE) who operate several care services for those affected by dementia in Malvern. We believe that this document would be of great value for people wanting to set up Meeting Centres, and indeed other community-based interventions and activities. The non-deficit approach has great synergy with the Meeting Centre community engagement process and could be enormously useful for communities to participate in. It would reveal gaps in provision and where there was overlap. The approach works well with those wanting to establish common ground. Evans, S.C.E. & Brooker, D.

  • GOING with the FLOW; How Colwall Stream Reaches the River by Rebecca Roseff
    GOING WITH THE FLOW; How Colwall Stream Reaches The River by Rebecca Roseff Running along the edge of our garden in Colwall is a small stream, which though low in summer never actually runs dry. This is surprising as its source, a marshy area on the west side of the Malverns, is hardly half a mile away, you wouldn’t think there would be enough rain in that small amount of ground to keep it going throughout the year, but there is. I have always been intrigued by this stream because it takes what seems to me a contrary route. Rejecting the direction of all other streams in Herefordshire that go south, towards the Wye, this stream takes the opposite direction; north and into Worcestershire. To do this it has to make its way across the low lying area between Colwall and Mathon that geologists say had once been a glacial lake and then somehow find a gap through the steep hills around Suckley. Once past these its way is clear and it continues east along lower ground to the Teme five miles west of Worcester. I promised myself I would walk its whole distance one day, to see what fields and woods it passed, what mills it had powered and houses serviced along its 15 mile course to the end. So one fine May morning I set out with my walking companion, equipped with water and sandwiches, to follow its route. We left the house just after eight allowing ourselves a whole day to complete the task. I had calculated we could do it, there were footpaths all the way that followed, crossed and re-crossed our stream and, if we timed it right, we could catch the 417 bus back to Ledbury and from there the train home to Colwall.
