It’s an important, powerful word, and as such I hoard it like a miser, choosing to dole it out with all the associated ceremony to people who do things so trivial and tedious and absurd that it would make an absolute mockery of the word.

A total of £25,000 has been awarded to 14 environmental projects across the Cotswolds. The funds have been allocated by the Caring for the Cotswolds grants panel, after applications were reviewed by the scheme s newly formed youth panel. The Caring for the Cotswolds scheme is managed by the Cotswolds National Landscape team. It is built around a visitor-giving model, where visitors voluntarily contribute to member businesses, who pass the funds along to be allocated as grants to projects that benefit the Cotswolds unique landscape and heritage. One of the new projects was developed by Chalford Parish Council. The village s biodiversity group has restored a number of wildlife sites in the village and the project will create a guided nature trail featuring these sites, so that residents can explore and learn about the wildlife in their area.
Bank Street in Melksham VIA GOOGLE MAPS THE following planning applications have been decided by Wiltshire Council recently. Malmesbury: A planning bid by Orysya Lyvchanyn to build a gabion wall on land adjacent to Waitrose has been declined.

According to the decision report, planning officers thought the bid would be considered intrusive and uncharacteristic of the area. They wrote: The proposals result in an unnatural, manmade landscape feature of substantial scale in an open agricultural field and this is considered intrusive, incongruous and uncharacteristic of the locality with consequent harm to the character, appearance and visual amenity of the locality.
