Coventry Cathedral paving art marks Covid-19 Day of Reflection
The Covid-19 National Day of Reflection was marked in Coventry on Sunday with a large floor mural at the city's Cathedral Ruins.Members of the public were able to reflect on the impact of the pandemic, with the artwork unveiled by deputy leader of Coventry City Council Abdul Salam Khan."As a city we came together to reach out in any way we could to support vulnerable members of our community and anyone who needed help," Khan said."I'm proud that the city played a leading role in the roll-out of the vaccines and the hope and support it provided to people during such a momentous time."
He added: "I hope this piece of art gives a place of peace and quiet reflection to anyone who feels they would like to come and have a few moments to reflect on what was a challenging and worrying time for us all."
The artwork was produced by street artist Katie O, who said the lockdown period had shown how the arts could help to bring people together."I'm grateful for the opportunity to mark this important day," she said.

The Shropshire waterways being boosted by natural flood work
The second phase of a natural flood management (NFM) scheme that is being delivered in Shropshire is on target. Called 'slow the flow', the project runs until next March and is aimed at delvering NFM schemes across seven catchments in the Corvedale: Aston-on-Clun (the unnamed tributary of the River Clun), Battlefield Brook, Clunton (the unnanmed tributary of the River Clun), Gobowen (tributaries of the River Perry), Hilton Brook, Shyte and Sytche Brooks, Much Wenlock, and the River Corve and tributaries. During the scheme, Shropshire Wildlife Trust (SWT) has been liaising with local flood action groups and the National Flood Forum to target where its work is most needed. It comes after Shropshire Council with Telford & Wrekin Council secured over £750,000 from DEFRA's Natural Flood Management Demonstrators fund. In order to meet the requirements, Shropshire Council worked with Cardiff University to monitor the effectiveness of NFM features to establish a method of quantifying the benefit of wood debris dams in a computer model. The impact of Covid meant that a large number of interventions could not be delivered, so the council was unable to allocate the remaining capital. However, because SWT has previously worked in the catchment before, it is continuing the work it started in 2018. During the first phase, over 100 landowners were engaged with and more than 350 people attended events linked to the project. A total of 1,000 NFM interventions had been installed, including storage ponds, swales, woody debris dams, sward lifting, improving field infiltration, tree and hedgerow planting. People were able to see some of the key work as part of the Shropshire Hills Summer Forum and Field Visits event. Starting at Wildehope Manor, a Grade I listed building that is looked after by the National Trust in Longville in the Dale, near Church Stretton, walkers were able to see some of the leaky barriers along the Wilde Brook that reduces the amount of water in the stream during high flows. 'It's working with natural processes,' said Sarah Mackness, water resources project manager at SWT. 'The designs we have used have evolved across the length of the project. 'We are replicating a lot of the work in the Corvedale, but we've also got funding for other catchments across Shropshire 'For every £1 spent on natural flood management, after 10 years there's a £4 benefit in terms to reduced risk to communities downstream and infrastructure. After 30 years, that goes up to a £10 benefit.' Ms Mackness also showed visitors how simple methods like placing a sill across a track can also prove effective. 'It was coming down the track, round the corner, and straight down the track,' she said. 'Heavy rain was washing soil away. Something as simple as a sill across the track is enough to cause the water to flow into the ditch at the side and flows much slower before it eventually reaches the stream at the bottom. 'How can we slow the water down, slow the infiltration and store the water upstream?' However, Julian Radliffe, who owns the land, said it doesn't always work. 'In the roadway, they put French drains in which are effective but over the years we probably have to dig them out because they get silted out,' he said. 'Then the water comes, down this track not down the ditch. We've got to bring our small diger and clear away the vegetation. 'The attrition rate on the dams is higher here than we expected because the flow has been much heavier because of the change of the climate than we originally modelled.' Ms Mackness added: 'It only works when you're working with landowners. Because of how the project is funded, we don't have any funding for maintenance. 'With it being a demonstrator project, especially the initial phase, we've learnt a lot from it and what we thought would happen hasn't always been the case.' Two people who went on the trip said it was very beneficial. 'We've had heavy rainfall that's travelled across two of our fields,' said Emily Esp. 'There's been houses and garden landscaping that's changed over time. I would like to help them by slowing the flow from the fields. I can't control what goes on in their garden and what they do with their landscaping, but I can slow it before it gets there.' Martin Steer added: 'It's nice to have engagement from the farmer as well. It's great to see all these people come together – they're all sharing knowledge. 'It is good progress being made, with soil management coming at the top of the agenda.'

Isolation fear as fees 'price out' elderly Warwickshire students
A group of elderly students say they face becoming socially isolated after the cost of their college course more than doubled, leaving them "priced out", with friendships "torn apart".The students of upholstery, who are mostly aged between 70 and 80, attend weekly classes run by the Warwickshire College Group (WCG) at Leamington Spa course previously cost about £250 per term, however from September the fees will jump to £561. A spokesperson for WCG said the previous fee at £7.57 an hour did not "adequately cover the costs of delivering the course" and the increase was essential in order to keep the course "financially viable". The group added that without the increase, the course would need to be Jennifer Handscombe, 79, who has attended classes for more than seven years, described attendees as a "community". "There a lot of people who are dreadfully upset, there has been tears and people are genuinely worried," she said."It is something that has been part of their lives for so long, it is something that they do every week with a group of people that they know and love." Underlining her point the college had been an important source of interaction for people, she added: "We've learnt valuable skills, had our brains stimulated and our bodies kept active - but now we are being priced out of this activity."She said that relationships formed between staff and students would be "torn apart". A WCG spokesperson said leisure courses, which made up about 2% of the college's curriculum income, were "fully self-funded by participants" and were not supported by the Government or loans. They added that a minimum price of £17 had been set per teaching hour for the courses, which ensured other areas of the college did not need to subsidise the fees. Ms Handscombe acknowledged that cheaper classes were offered by the local authority, but said it was the quality of the college's teaching that drew the students."You're working with a group of people who you have developed a connection with and the tutors who run the courses are brilliant and do an amazing job," she said.

Tolkien inspires naming of Leamington's four peregrine falcons
Down the riders came, tearing down from the mountains of Mordor, through Rohan to the Shire - and there they found Frodo, Merry, Pippin and it might not have gone exactly like that but those are the four names which have been chosen for the peregrine falcon chicks hatched this year at Leamington Town Wildlife Trust invited people to share their ideas for the three females and one male before putting them to a final vote (Sauron was barred from voting).More than 900 took part in the poll and the Lord of the Rings-themed names emerged victorious, named after JRR Tolkien's hobbits. Other suggestions included the sky and stars as well as names with connections to Leamington - but ultimately, the trust said, the Middle-Earth theme was a "clear favourite".A spokesperson added that the names were submitted by Natasha and Charmain and Charmain added: "The Lord of the Rings is a British classic and these four little ones will soon wander."A live video feed continues to monitor the peregrines' progress after the chicks hatched at the end of April, at the Grade II listed town hall.
