The Point, Cardiff

RIP
Beautiful art music venue in a converted church in Cardiff Bay, is forced to close after complaints of noise by the neighbours who had moved into new flats that were built close by.
What a bunch of wankers.
People should know what is in the area before they move there.
The whole idea of moving to certain areas is because you are supposed to like them.

It's rather like building flats or houses next to a motorway, then the residents complain about the noise and have the road closed so they can sleep at night, yeah right.
But sadly back to the real world, its happened in this case.
Serious shame and piss poor performance on behalf of Cardiff council.

Too many developers turning buildings into flats down the bay. The Coal Exchange comes to mind.
Hopefully with the recession, developers will have better things to worry about, such as trying to avoid insolvency like the rest of us.

Fluorine added to UK drinking water

So the UK government is allowing the local health authorities to force the water companies to add fluorine to drinking water. In order to prevent tooth decay in children. This is because sadly some parents in the UK are basically incapable / incompetent or both, when it comes to teaching their children to brush their teeth and use mouthwash, whilst letting them eat crap containing large amounts of sugar.
Here is a good Guardian link on the subject.

Another good link is also about the high level of fluorine in tea and the potential risk it poses.

By the way I have been drinking tea since I was a small child, so have ingested plenty of fluorine and I have plenty of fillings.

Attracting and dating women

*Cool* website I just found

Check this site out:

I just discovered a rather unusual website, and I thought you
might be interested in it too.

It shows men how to get women to approach you first for a date,
no matter their looks, age, or income.

Talk about a role reversal. What I like about this is, when a
woman approaches you, it gets rid of all your fear of rejection.
Plus, you know she likes you for sure.

Anyway, you can check it out at:

PS. Oh yeah, I think this website may come down soon, so it's a
good idea to check it out right now.

Planting in preparation for a greener tomorrow

NEW trees were planted in a Sheffield park as part of a campaign to make the city greener.
Conservation experts are worried the city is losing its urban forest and have published a report detailing the decline.

It is estimated around 35,000 - or 70 per cent - of the city's trees will be lost over the next 40 years and action needs to be taken to reduce the impact of this loss.

But it can take as long as 40 years for newly-planted trees to become established and make a significant contribution to the environment.

The report focuses on the Broomhill, Central and Nether Edge areas of the city and surveyed more than 50,000 trees in council and private ownership.

Council bosses launched the report with a tree planting session at the South Yorkshire Wood Fair in Endcliffe Park.

Coun Shaffaq Mohammed, the council's cabinet member for environment, said: "We are keen to work with people in the local community to plan future tree planting and to identify the best locations where this can happen successfully.

"We also want to work with local schools to raise awareness of the importance of trees to the environment and to organise a support programme to advise people on the best species for planting in the area and how to maintain the trees properly."

Coun Mohammed planted the first of six London Plane trees in Endcliffe Park.

Suggestions for planting locations may be sent in to Tim Shortland in the council's Parks and Countryside Service at Meersbrook Park, Brook Road, Sheffield, S8 9FL or by telephoning 0114 2734190.

Turning a new leaf

By David Bocking

Thousands of trees in Sheffield are expected to die over the next ten years. David Bocking reports on how the city aims to keep its green mantle

It'll be worth keeping an eye on Sheffield's golden canopy this autumn.

First of all an extra 5,000 or 6,000 assorted trees are due to appear around the city over the next few months, thanks to a £50,000 grant allocated by the council.

But also cast a glance at Sheffield's tree-lined avenues, in Nether Edge or Broomhill, for example.

These are the old trees, planted in a 30 or 40 year period in the late 1800s as the Victorians sought to mark their pride in their city by planting ash, lime and sycamore for future generations. Enjoy them now, because many won't be around much longer.

"It's like having a population of octogenarians," says Dan Lewis, the council's tree and woodland manager, "Because they're even-aged, thousands of them are going to die over a short period of time."

A recent audit of trees in Nether Edge, Broomhill and central Sheffield found that nearly 8,000 are likely to die over the next ten years and nearly three-quarters of the trees in this area (as many as 35,000) are likely to be lost before 2050.

"I found that frightening," says Dan. "Any trees we plant now are going to take 40 years to grow, so we can't wait."

Actually, Dan has been waiting for quite some time. He's been warning of the imminent loss of our tree-lined streets and gardens for more than 12 years and now, it seems, the replanting is finally set to begin.

The council says the £50,000 tree budget is probably the greatest single amount ever allocated specifically for tree planting in the city and represents a major boost to Sheffield's 'urban forest'.

"Sheffield has probably the best urban treescape in the country," says Dan.

Viewed from above Sheffield has nearly 15% tree cover, or nearly 54 square miles of tree canopy within the city boundary.

In some American cities the figure is closer to 50% but 15% is very good for urban Britain, says Dan.

"In a city that's just brilliant, You go to Norfolk Park or other vantage points and it's just fantastic. And many of those Victorian trees were planted by ordinary people."

And that's the plan for the new 'urban forest'. The council will be looking for Sheffield people, local schools and other organisations to suggest places where trees are needed. Then, after a successful site visit, the proposers will be invited to plant their own local trees.

"It's an awareness raising campaign," says Dan.

"It's not just about putting trees in the ground, it's about engaging with the public and helping to generate local pride."

The new trees will be rather different to the large-leafed trees of 130 years ago.Many will be easier to maintain as they produce smaller leaves and drought resistant species have been selected to withstand our changing climate.

"The way the climate is going, we've got to hedge our bets now," says Dan, possibly not intending a pun.

So as well as selected native trees, we'll be seeing the honey locust and the gingko or maidenhair, which dates back 190 million years.

The planting programme will in itself help Sheffield deal with some of the effects of pollution and climate change: trees and their leaves help to remove potentially deadly air pollutants like PM10s (from vehicle exhausts) by collecting them on their leaves, where they are washed out of the air into the ground.

They also help to slow water run-off and flooding and urban trees can help regulate temperature in heatwaves.

Dan hopes to see an increase in tree cover in the city centre – he's identified potential sites on Devonshire Green, off West Street, in several car parks and even on Fargate.

"It's up to the people of Sheffield where they're going to be. I'd love to see 10% tree cover in the city centre but I don't know if that will be possible."

He walks through the streets of Nether Edge as he talks, frowning up at the towering centenarians, many of which are finally losing their will to live.

"We're looking at what the Victorians did for us but we should be doing something for the next generation. They don't have a voice as yet but we can't just can't just sit here without putting something back."

l More information at Sheffield Wood Fair in Endcliffe Park tomorrow. Or, says Dan: "Ring 2500500, say 'Can we have a tree?' and we'll look into it".
