“It’s great that they are thinking about now but they need to be thinking about landscaping plans for the future,” she said.
“There needs to be a landscaping plan going forward. We were the beneficiaries of a beautiful landscaping strategy in the early 20th century we should leave a similar legacy.”

While Ms Mayhew said it was a loss to have had the Tombland trees cut down, she said it also demonstrated how much people care about the city’s trees.

Boy Scouts, Detachable Collars, and a Troy Connection? By Don Rittner on December 30, 2020 at 9:21 PM

Chances are everyone knows a Boy Scout or two. This youth building movement began in London back in 1908. It was brought to America shortly after by W. D. Boyce, an American newspaperman, who after being aided by a London scout thought it would a great program for kids in the US.

Boyce was encouraged to take it nationally by Edgar M. Robinson, a leader of the YMCA in New York City, and offered financial help. That year the Woodcraft Indians led by Ernest Thompson Seton, the Boy Scouts of the United States headed by Colonel Peter Bomus, and the National Scouts of America headed by Colonel William Verbeck were absorbed into the new Boy Scouts of America.

Master the art of paper selection with advice from Graphic Thought Facility
Choosing a paper stock is like choosing a typeface. Done with sufficient skill, it’s a powerful way to craft the character of a piece of print – but it can also undermine your design and dilute its impact if you make the wrong call.

A divisive bid to build eight flats on the site of a former scout hut has been refused by councillors in a meeting which saw one exasperated member call her colleagues “idiots”.
Norwich City Council’s planning committee met virtually on Thursday to consider the plans for eight two-bed flats in a three-storey building on the site of the now-demolished Vikings Venture Scout Hut on Dereham Road in Norwich.
Opinion on how to proceed was split, and as a vote was taken councillor Judith Lubbock put her head in her hands and, not realising her microphone was on, said “oh dear… Idiots”.
