#planetryalignment feeling small in the company of Venus, Jupiter, Mars and more.

Shocking viewing.

Local people have long known about the problems caused by sewage overflows, but now the company stands accused of murky accounting practices that may have prioritised shareholder dividends over water bills and the health of our rivers.

High on the #Longmynd, #ChurchStretton, #Shropshire tonight. A rare clear moment between storms. #MilkyWay #photograghy @stormhour.bsky.social

Some decided to damage Scrooge's Gravestone in St Chad's. Quite disappointing that someone felt it fun to damage something that has been there for 40 years and has become a quirky tourist attraction.

It has been reported to the police. If anyone witnessed whoever did it can you get in touch.

This is sad..

If you've ever watched Christmas TV, you'll have seen this; Scrooge's grave from the 80's Christmas Carol movie, filmed in Shrewsbury

The crew left it on location at St Chads where it's been visited by tourists for 40 years.

Until now

Inexplicably destroyed .. apparently by vandals

Well done Active Travel England team for publishing guidance to help councils deliver "school streets" that work for schools and local communities. These schemes restrict motor traffic outside schools during pick up and drop off times, reducing congestion, boosting safety www.gov.uk/government/n...

📢 an exciting opportunity to support nature recovery in Shropshire! Nestled amongst the Stiperstones and the Long Mynd, Betchcott Hill is a vital habitat for wildlife, including beloved curlew. But we can't do it without your help 🤝
