FEBRUARY NATURE NOTES

February 17, 2010 · Leave a Comment 

By Neil Pinder There are around 30 native tree species in Rushcliffe and on farmland Ash and Oak predominate. These, along with Elms, were planted or grew up along the enclosure hedges that are now around 200 years old. Elms still exist in the hedgerows and grow into tall bushes before being stricken with Dutch Elm disease once more, only for suckering re-growth to return. Hedgerow elms are mainly English Elm whilst Wych Elm is more a woodland species and is common in Old Wood at Bunny, the Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust’s reserve on the A60, where mature Wild Cherries grow too. Hornbeam is not... [Read the full story]

HEALTHY GINGER BY THE FOOD CONSULTANT

February 17, 2010 · Leave a Comment 

Ginger is a great remedy for nausea and has been used by many generations for nausea during pregnancy and travelling. But ginger can be used for any type of nausea, is also a good treatment for indigestion and is generally fast-acting. It is also warming and a gentle detoxifying for the body and can be a powerful anti-inflammatory that can relieve the pain of arthritis. For its strongest effects, pour hot water on a thumb-sized piece of peeled, crushed fresh root ginger and drink it as a tea. You can also use ginger in stir-fried vegetables. Simply finely chop the ginger and fry it with the onion... [Read the full story]

CENTRAL AVENUE – MOST LAWLESS ROAD

February 15, 2010 · 2 Comments 

The pedestrianisation of Central Avenue was heralded as a victory for pedestrians and a bright new future. Why is it then, that as I sit with coffee at a pavement café, I count countless law breakers entering the 7am until 7pm curfew for cars? There is a flagrant disregard for the law and the restrictions and no entry signs are abused by countless motorists, vans and lorries, not to mention the cyclists who think they are beyond the law. I have written to Rushcliffe Borough Council and Nottinghamshire Police with my facts, but six months later have not had a reply from either.  I have spoken... [Read the full story]

A recent cabinet meeting has revealed Rushcliffe Borough Council’s ‘Core Strategy – Option for Consultation’ document, which outlines the vision and proposals for development in Rushcliffe over the next 16 years. One of the key issues to come out of the meeting, was the Cabinet’s desire to stress that the Government’s target for the number of new homes in Rushcliffe (15,000) is far too high, but whilst continuing to oppose the figures, the Council must retain control of the planning process. Rushcliffe Borough Council leader, Cllr Neil Clarke, said: “I wish to be absolutely clear... [Read the full story]
