Leamington Spa Splash pads closed with 'great sadness'
The splash park had reopened after revamp work in July. It was previously earmarked for refurbishment as part of a council project, alongside the park in Warwick.The council said it had been forced to close the site with "immediate effect", and officers "do not expect" the site to reopen for the rest of the school summer holidays.
In Warwick, the council is facing ongoing challenges with the project due to the "more complex nature" of the work.It is not yet known when the paddling pool will open. A sign was also put on the gate surrounding a splash park in Coventry's War Memorial Park by the city council stating that the area would be permanently closed. However the council said the attraction was only closed for the "foreseeable" and it was exploring options for its future, saying no decision had yet been taken.Following the Leamington Spa closure, Warwick District Council said: "The council understands the disappointment that this will cause especially given the fine weather and is working hard with the contractors to fix the issues."

In defence of blackberry picking
On holiday in West Wales last week, the blackberries were the best I've ever seen. They gleamed jet black from the hedgerows, dangling in enticing trusses over the grass verges, glossy fruit the size of cocktail olives peeking through the fences and at field edges. We filled bags, boxes, and even my hat – a few purple stains being small price to pay for another few pounds of the sweet, well-flavoured fruit. As a child in the Seventies and Eighties, I'd have been shoulder-to-shoulder with plenty of other families busily stripping the berries from the bushes. But while passing strangers nodded approvingly at the sight of our brimming containers or flashed thumbs up as they drove past, we encountered no one else picking, and the quantities of over ripe and 'gone over' berries suggested no foragers had made an earlier harvest. The same is true in my home city of Bristol, where I gather blackberries from loaded patches on the Downs alone. I'm not the only person who has noticed a petering out of blackberry picking. In a recent letter to the Telegraph, reader Kate Pycock of Ipswich remarks 'in recent years I have noticed that I seem to be the only person who picks any' of the blackberries plentiful near her Suffolk home. So why the decline? After all, with the cost of living crisis, and awareness of the health benefits of fresh fruit, you'd think that the availability of free berries would be a godsend. I blame the pernicious rise in risk aversion. I don't mean just a few bramble scratches (although stories of unpleasant, but very rare, incidences of hogweed burns suffered by foragers don't help). But worse than that, we've lost the ability to trust food that doesn't come with a label. We have delegated responsibility for the safety of what we eat to the supermarkets, so if something goes wrong, it is their fault not ours. I'm often advised to pick only berries above dog-leg-cocking height, as if the (literally) low-hanging fruit was in some way permanently contaminated. My answer is two-fold: if it makes you feel better, by all means look further upwards for your berries. But also, don't imagine that the pristine-looking produce in sealed plastic on the supermarket shelves has been untouched by wildlife or vermin, both in the field and in the storage units prior to packaging. So pick your berries, and wash them in a large bowl of cool tap water. TikTok may be awash (literally, again) with tips to use vinegar, salt, bicarb, or all three, but there's no need unless you like the flavour of vinegary, salty or soapy fruit... Obviously, we don't wash all of them. Quite a few (yes, ok, high-up ones) make their way into my family's mouth as we pick. Partly it's because there's something very special about sun-warmed berries straight from the plant, but also there's the game of chance – will it be sweet or sour? The different wild cultivars on a single country lane manifest themselves with subtle, and not so subtle, flavour variations. It's biodiversity, the environmental buzzword of the decade, in action on your tastebuds. As Kate Pycock says on the decline of blackberrying, 'whatever the reason, it makes me sad.' Me too, although it does mean I have a freezer full of fruity booty, and a tray of blackberry-and-apple flapjacks in the oven right now. Berry lovely.

Holy Trinity: The church that survived the Coventry Blitz
On the night of the Coventry Blitz on 14 November 1940, 550 German Luftwaffe rained down 30,000 incendiary devices on the city over an 11-hour buildings in the city centre were destroyed, including the cathedral, but the Holy Trinity Church survived, and that was in large thanks to Reverend Graham Clitheroe, the church's vicar at the and two others, including his curate and one of his sons, defended the church and stopped it from going up in flames - even pushing bombs off the church roof to stop further to their actions, the church lived on to be one of Coventry's landmark three spires, offering stunning views of the city skyline. The church already had a long history before that fateful night - with the first known reference to it in original Norman church was destroyed by a fire in 1257, and was rebuilt entirely during the 14th tower was rebuilt in about 1650, with the spire built later in the 17th 237ft (72.2m) high, it is one of the tallest non-cathedral spires in the UK. To get to the tower and spire, there is a fair bit of climbing to enter by some worn stone steps, leading to a wooden door. Behind this, you are met with another spiral staircase that leads to the one point, the staircase splits - one section continuing up into the sky, while the other leads onto the lower up, you enter a bell room. "This is a floor that was laid when Gilbert Scott - an architect in the 1850s - renovated the whole of the inside of Holy Trinity Church," said Bill Johnson, the buildings bell ringers would have rung the bells at a lower level than the current bell room."The tower supports the spire, but it was decided when Scott was doing the renovations that these huge bells would make the tower and the spire too unstable," said Mr Johnson."So, Gilbert Scott took the bells out, and arranged for a wooden structure to be built just on the other side of the church called a campanile."The bells were hung in this structure and could be rung from the campanile… at ground level." Continuing up the steps towards the spire, they are far less worn - because it was a route that was not well travelled."It was only [for] the issue of maintenance – gutter clearing, whatever might be necessary," said Mr the base of the spire, he said: "We can look right up inside because it's hollow, and we can see right up to the very top."Listen: Climbing the tower of Coventry's Holy Trinity ChurchAs you glance up, you can see steel ladders, which, although mostly used for maintenance purposes, did have an intended second use."There was a chance we might get a peregrine falcon nesting here... on the first set of windows down from the spire, there's a falcon scrape which is a nest for the peregrine falcon," he said."So we installed that, we installed a camera with it, but the ungrateful falcons went to nest in St Michael's next door."

Uniformly is an online marketplace specifically for school uniforms, where you can search for items to buy from other parents or the PTA at your child's school might hold second-hand clothing sales, so get in touch to find out if your child's has one. Some charity shops have been selling old uniform for as little as £1. FREE CLOTHING WEBSITES Sign up for a Freecycle account and you can search for uniform being given away for free or you can add in a "wanted" post. This is a great way of finding school specific blazers and jumpers in your local area. USE LOYALTY POINTS Tesco Clubcard is one of the best loyalty schemes which can help towards the cost of F&F school uniform, either online or in-store. Collect Clubcard points by shopping at Tesco then use the Clubcard app to convert the points into vouchers. Present the vouchers at checkout in store to get the money off, or you can apply them at checkout if shopping online. You earn one point for each £1 spent and each point is then worth 1p. Once you've earned 150 points, equivalent to spending £150, you receive a voucher worth £1.50. APPLY FOR A GRANT Local councils will supply grants of up to £200 to families who don't have the money for uniform. The grant will also cover other essentials such as PE kit and travel costs. Find the contact details for your local council at FIND A SWAP SHOP Pop-up swap shops are a brilliant way for families to manage back-to-school spending. Not only can you pick up items cheaper, but it saves waste. A 2020 report by The Children's Society found 1.4 uniforms are thrown away in the UK every year. You can find details of some already established swap shops at The website also offers guidance on how to set up your own. Level Trust runs an online uniform exchange with over 60 schools across the UK. TRY OUTLET STORES Prices at outlet stores are often more appealing than their high street counterparts. Clarks Outlet offers lots of shoes with 50% off online. Delivery's £4.95 if shopping online. M&S Outlet also has dozens of outlet stores which have 30% or more off the main M&S store price. BUY TO LAST Where possible, go for more natural fabrics, especially if using a tumble dryer. They can be dried at a slightly higher temperature and are more resistant to holes so it could mean buying less in the long run. Check the label and look after your child's uniform properly to help avoid extra costs. Wash whites separately, using bio detergent and sticking to low tumble-drying settings will help prevent damage and shrinking.
