In January 2009, the Local Government Minister, Dr Brian Gibbons asked this Commission to review the electoral arrangements in each principal local authority in Wales. Dr Gibbons said: “Conducting regular reviews of the electoral arrangements in each Council in Wales is part of the Commission’s remit. The aim is to try and restore a fairly even spread of councillors across the local population. It is not about local government reorganisation. Since the last reviews were conducted new communities have been created in some areas and there have been shifts in population in others. This means that in some areas there is now an imbalance in the number of electors that councillors represent.

  • Conservation of Notable Species in Sandwell Country Park
    Provisional Review of Scarcer Sandwell Valley Invertebrates. version 10 (March 2015) NB. This updates and replaces previous versions. Please inform us of any obvious errors or updates to help us refine our work. Contents Page 1 General comments 2 Map of the Valley 3-5 Table showing some scarce invertebrates 5-8 information on some scarcer species 9 Woodland Habitat Indicator Species 13 Notes on Butterflies of the Valley 14 Notes on conservation of the invertebrates Background Since 1974 local naturalists and Country Park Rangers have been gathering data about Sandwell Valley Wildlife. The advent of the EcoRecord database at the Wildlife Trust For Birmingham & the Black Country has enabled some 35 000 individual Valley wildlife records of over 4000 species to be computerised. The use of English Nature 'Recorder' has not only enabled analysis of the records into categories of rarity, but also enabled us to see the location of these species so that Country Park Managers and other interested parties have much more precise information on them than before. This is a seventh update of the original. It includes notes on many interesting local and scarce insects. This update retains lists of the Valley's ecological indicator species, concentrating on established woodland indicators. The final part lists the Butterflies of the Sandwell Valley with notes. Limitations of the current data set There are great differences in observer coverage on many potentially valuable Valley sites. Many organisms have not received attention for a variety of reasons- shortage of specialists and lack of identification literature for many obscure groups may mean that it is many years before some become accessible for study.

  • Cheshire Wildlife Trust
    Cheshire Wildlife Trust Heteroptera and Diptera surveys on the Manchester Mosses with PANTHEON analysis by Phil Brighton 32, Wadeson Way, Croft, Warrington WA3 7JS [email protected] on behalf of Lancashire and Cheshire Wildlife Trusts Version 1.0 September 2018 Lancashire Wildlife Trust Page 1 of 35 Abstract This report describes the results of a series of surveys on the Manchester mosslands covering heteroptera (shield bugs, plant bugs and allies), craneflies, hoverflies, and a number of other fly families. Sites covered are the Holcroft Moss reserve of Cheshire Wildlife Trust and the Astley, Cadishead and Little Woolden Moss reserves of Lancashire Wildlife Trust. A full list is given of the 615 species recorded and their distribution across the four sites. This species list is interpreted in terms of feeding guilds and habitat assemblages using the PANTHEON software developed by Natural England. This shows a strong representation in the sample of species associated with shaded woodland floor and tall sward and scrub. The national assemblage of peatland species is somewhat less well represented, but includes a higher proportion of rare or scarce species. A comparison is also made with PANTHEON results for similar surveys across a similar range of habitats in the Delamere Forest. This suggests that the invertebrate diversity value of the Manchester Mosses is rather less, perhaps as a result of their fragmented geography and proximity to past and present sources of transport and industrial pollution. Introduction The Manchester Mosses comprise several areas of lowland bog or mire embedded in the flat countryside between Warrington and Manchester. They include several areas designated as SSSIs in view of the highly distinctive and nationally important habitat, such as Risley Moss, Holcroft Moss, Bedford Moss, and Astley Moss.
