Wassailing wasnโt just singing. It was a winter blessing for orchards, where people toasted trees with cider and hung bits of bread for the robins. A good harvest began with a good song. #FolkloreThursday

@markrwilliamson@CambsCC And donโt forget the financial exposure of the GCP schemes running over budget and the significant cash flow deficits. Borrowings not having been accounted for in the Countyโs capital strategy as the accountable body.
@Sam_in_Cam Judge Mark Bishop called CCC โrigid and blinkeredโ in the St Ives Busway HSE ruling. The same mindset underpins all their decisions. CSET gas pipeline. C2C overlaps with the Madingley Hill reservoir and EWR. Huge cash deficits. Yet CCC pushes on, ignoring sensible alternatives ๐
@greenarteries@markrwilliamson@MonicaHone@CambridgeIndy@GreaterCambs@CambsCC Where once there was grass now thereโs red tarmac. When once there were wonderful established cherry trees, now thereโs close to nothing. Think of this, Coton orchard and moreโฆ killing trees and green space Is the reason why GCP exists.
In @thetimes@LiddleRod calls these โstories of vanishingly small importanceโ happening โin every town or city,โ where โthe beauty of our surroundingsโ is quietly eroded. The @CambsCC bonkers busway is one of them. The Inquiry has wrapped and now we face months of waiting โ but we canโt let the decision be made in the shadows. Speaking up matters. Please keep watching https://t.co/KVh14yXmsx
Weโre excited to welcome the Tree of Hope from @nationaltrust, going into Cotonโs soil as Tree Week begins and the busway Inquiry ends. Planting hope for tomorrow ๐ณ๐
@BonkersBusway The trees that are โtoo shortโ for animals to graze under, โtoo closeโ to be a traditional orchard, the meadow that is โspecies poorโ, the non-fruit trees that donโt even exist and the grass that is โover mownโ ๐
