Since December 2015 the curlew has been on the Birds of Conservation Concern red list as numbers have plummeted 50% in 25 years. The curlew may soon be extinct. Urgent conservations efforts across the UK are required and are being spearheaded by the Curlew Recovery Partnership -www.curlewrecovery.org. This is one of the few sites in Northamptonshire where curlews are known to be located. The curlews return to Landal Rockingham Forest Park each March with their haunting cry heralding the arrival of spring to the boggy grassland and wide open spaces which provides perfect breeding habitat during spring/summer to raise their chicks. Curlews need long grass from spring onwards to provide cover from predators for their eggs and chicks however since the park opened in May 2021 the grassland surrounding the lodges is regularly cut from February onwards. As part of the 2015 planning permission requirements the tourist development had been required to manage the grassland sympathetically for ground nesting birds in accordance with ecological advice. The many months of intrusive construction of and expansion of the holiday park could mean the death knell for the curlew on this North Northamptonshire site and will contribute to their national decline. During 2021 and 2022 I have tried to raise awareness of the curlews’ presence on the holiday park with the family owners of the land, site manager, the senior ecologist of Lockhart Garrett advising the development, British Trust for Ornithology, RSPB, Northants Wildlife Trust, Natural England, council’s ecologist (who is also Project Manager for the council's Minerals & Waste department) and Dean Wishart, Planning Officer hoping that that the curlews will have protection and conservation will be supported. Professor Russell Wynn, Manager of the Curlew Recovery Partnership has also communicated with the private and council ecologists about the curlews’ presence on the land to offer advice. Professor Wynn would be more than willing to offer ongoing help and support about curlew conservation should this be of interest. If you wish to object about this development I hope you will sign this petition which will be lodged with George Candler, Director of Economy and Place with North Northants Council responsible for signing off planning applications. In addition a copy will be lodged with Paul Hardingham of Landal Greenparks UK. I would also urge you to send an objection to NE/22/00266/FUL to North Northants Council as there are currently very few objections about this development and it will soon be decided. I hope you can help. Time is running out to save the curlew on Landal Rockingham Forest Park………

Steve Wright is a DJ loved by millions. He will be retiring in the not too distant future ,we will all miss him terribly when he goes but to axe his show before then is a terrible decision.

Steve Wright in the afternoon is the backbone of the daily BBC radio 2. It's an abomination that this show is to be axed after nearly 24 years of broadcasting it. It's all ages that listen to it and tune in just for this show. The ratings are very high, why break something that's not broken. People are just so upset with this decision and would like it overturned.

In Congleton Constituency, data from The Rivers Trust revealed that in 2021, there were 1477 raw sewage spills which occurred for a total of 6206 hours (equivalent to 258 days, or over 8 months of continuous discharge). Nationally, only 14% of UK rivers meet Good Ecological Status and 75% pose a serious risk to human health. We deserve better.

Steve is a wonderful dj and really funny guy with an amazing presence he is a master of communication and has a great sense of humour. Steve brightens up peoples days, the shift worker, the nurse, the doctor, the bus driver, the white van man, the sales rep, the teacher, the iron monger, the fisherman, the farmer, the retail worker etc etc

Please, please invite your MP to the UK’s first ever high-level briefing by leading scientists on the latest climate science and strategies for implementing net-zero. Amazing news! Chief Scientific Adviser Sir Patrick Vallance and other scientific leaders will brief MPs on the Climate and Ecological Emergency in JUST OVER A WEEK, on Monday 11 July. This will be a version of the briefing Sir Patrick gave to Boris Johnson, which the PM described as his 'Road to Damascus moment' on the CEE. 29,000 of us, together with 79 eminent climate scientists and 29 leading clinicians, called for an urgent briefing, so that climate policy can be based on science not lobbying and misinformation. Sir Patrick will brief MPs on MONDAY 11 JULY, 3.30-5.00pm, just like he did during the worst of the Covid-19 crisis. Accompanying him will be Prof Gideon Henderson, the Chief Scientific Adviser for DEFRA; Prof Stephen Belcher, Met Office Chief Scientist; and Prof Emily Shuckburgh, Director of Cambridge Zero, the University of Cambridge’s major climate initiative. An amazingly eminent panel. I am asking if you can do one thing – take one minute to write to your MP and insist they attend. We can get hundreds and hundreds of our MPs to turn up at this vital briefing so that they are up to date with the latest science and can act to protect us, as we elected them to do.

Just like in other sports, Formula One needs to play its part in tackling and removing the stain of racism and injustice from our society. Formula One can play a key role; making it clear it is anti-racist and does not condone racism anywhere within the sport; not through its words but its actions. It has millions of pounds at its disposal and a global audience - it can be a force for good and change. But sitting back, issuing generic condemnations will do nothing. Fans, friends and family of fans, teams, drivers and everyone working in Formula 1 can stand up and demand that Formula One Group and Liberty Media do something to match their public statements.

In the 21st Century no women should be paid less than their male equivalent. A Labour Council should be setting a good example to other employers.

Any day now it's expected to be announced that former Daily Mail editor Paul Dacre will be added to the House of Lords. In his time at the Mail, Paul Dacre has been accused of stirring up hatred against immigrants, politicians and judges alike - and now he could have a say on how the UK is run. And he and his paper are even currently facing legal action over alleged privacy breaches. At the very least, he should not be honoured with a peerage while the court case is in progress, but setting aside the legal action, someone like Paul Dacre, who used his time at the Mail to divide the country, represents the opposite of the values of fairness and respectfulness that we share as a country. He’s not the kind of person who should be celebrated by being made a Lord. Right now, it's still not confirmed, but if enough of us speak out against the idea of Paul Dacre being made a Lord, we can make sure his appointment doesn't become a reality.

Because it is of historical significance and should be returned to a welsh museum,The replica can then be transferred back to replace the Welsh historical artefact.
