In light of the recent flooding events in my local area on New Year’s Eve & NY Day. I wanted to do a piece on how wetland woodland can act as a great natural flood defence, and why you shouldn't build 150 new houses on one.
Enjoy!

@TalkingTurkeyWB hi Ian, we really appreciate your article on our exercise to seek views from the wider community on our future but could you change the headline? We are not 'facing closure' and putting what we're doing in those terms could be seen as alarmist.

1st of 12 cookery workshops, where we knocked up 8 different salads & dips.
We looked at different ingredients from sumac to pomegranate molasses and Ali talked about some quick/cheat ideas to ‘spruce up yer grub’ from lemon oil to curry mayo. It all tasted delish.
