The Friends of the South Downs will be getting a new Policy Officer as I have decided to move on. In the meantime I will leave you with a picture of this bench the society has had built adjacent to the #SouthDownsWay. Attending the opening is a fabulous memory of my time here.

@anooshka_rawden Bit sad myself! Loved being able to love the Downs for a living!

Exceat was an important port and in the 1100s paid more taxes than Seaford or Lewes. Being a port, the plague in the 1300s killed many....

Keys bits of the #EnvironmentAct come into play today. It's also the Queen's Speech - to be delivered by Prince Charles. This article covers some of the housing/levelling up policies in advance of the speech.

795 objections to the planning application for this infill in Cumbria. Hoping this means the bridges in and near the #SouthDowns are more likely to be treated well.

[The HRE Group @theHREgroup]

Check out this insightful piece from @matthew_weaver in today's @guardian looking at #GreatMusgraveBridge and @NationalHways attempted abuse of emergency development powers to force through infillings elsewhere.
This is a wholly disreputable organisation.

Apparently this is the "most viewed" UK news story on the @guardian website today.
Who says folk don't care about heritage...or vandalism...or Government-owned companies perpetuating deceit to get their own destructive way?

@theHREgroup @guardian One of my tweets on this was my second most popular ever. And there were so many objections to the planning application. People are very interested I think.

Few pics from Sunday's stroll on the Downs. So much nature exploding into life & colour. Pockets of bluebells, wood anemones, very active skylarks, variety of finches, buzzard, plus plenty of butterflies (incl. silver-washed fritillary, comma & painted lady). #SouthDowns #Sussex
