Angela Hewitt questions the decision by the Isle of Wight Council to allow hedgerows along the Racecourse to be removed, pointing out the impact it will have on migrating birds
with a focus on the inclusion of housing affordable for Island residents, coastal flood protections and a new Mission Zero Community Hub, Green Councillors announce they will support the Alliance budget this Wednesday
The schemes aim to reduce the risk of flooding and coastal erosion to more than 3,700 Island homes and businesses, vital infrastructure and more than 300 hectares of protected habitat
Looking after (with the help of the hardworking volunteers) the many trees and woodlands that the council already owns, is a key part of its commitment to the UNESCO Biosphere
The three-year programme will seed and support new and existing underwater seagrass meadows, which if restored to a sufficient scale can contribute to the UK's carbon emission targets
The programme will help Isle of Wight creatives to develop their practice and will offer Creative Zoom sessions, 1-2-1 creative business mentoring, photo shoots, portfolio sessions, away days, and much more. See all the details within
