IN THE NEWS
Tarporley homes plan approved DEVELOPERS have won their battle to push through plans for nearly 100 homes on farmland between Nantwich Road and the Tarporley by-pass. Cheshire West and Chester councillors gave the go ahead to Fox Strategic Land and Property to develop the site despite huge local opposition. Campaigners said the new development would eat up a chunk of the countryside and that the homes should have been built on a brownfield site instead. Tarvin planning concern PLANS for 130 homes in Tarvin would create big traffic problems, according to Tarvin Parish Council. The council has asked the developers Taylor Wimpey to look again at the scheme for Tarporley Road or spend a lot more money on road widening and markings.

Forest holiday park fears LOCAL people have raised concerns over plans for a holiday village in Delamere Forest. The Forestry Commission wants to allow 78 log cabins to be put up within the forest in order to bring in money. The holiday park, at Kingswood, would also include 300 car parking spaces, a new visitor centre, restaurant and shops. But local campaign group Communities Against Delameres Destruction (CADD) are worried about the potential impact on the forest wildlife, public access, and increased traffic and parking. Going batty in Beeston A RARE species of bat has been found at Beeston Castle. Volunteers from the Cheshire Bat Group discovered the lesser horseshoe bats during a hibernation check recently. The species has not been seen in Cheshire since 1948

Hospice fundraising manager Jane Thompson said: The team as Skin Deep have always been incredibly supportive of the hospice finding lots of ways to help us raise funds to support our patients and their families. As well as raising money they have given us wonderful Clarins raffle prizes and goodie bags for our ladies events and these are always very popular and help us to raise even more money. The support of the community and local businesses is pivotal to us raising the 6,500 we need each day. For more information go to www.stlukes-hospice.co.uk

Mens Singles winner Peter nosworthy Treasurer Allyson Clarkson then gave a detailed written and verbal report on the Clubs healthy financial situation but added a note of caution about the affordability of installing floodlights, an idea mooted by some members. Mens Captain Keith Barker reported on the Clubs playing success during the year in the Cheshire Shield competition, the summer and winter leagues in each of which the club fields five teams, the in-club Senior and Junior competitions and the four American Tournaments, the last of which took place on New Year Bank Holiday Monday in memory of Carolyn. The new 12-strong committee was elected, and after paying a further fulsome and personal tribute to Carolyn Bunting, the President, Barry Cooper, presented the cups and trophies to the Clubs various tournament winners. The evening concluded with a splendid buffet meal and a challenging back-to-school quiz.

APRIL DELIGHTS
gArdening by JAnet HeAtH
by now you should have plants growing as well as the weeds! if you have perennial weeds that are difficult to eradicate by digging up, spray them with a glyphosate weedkiller that is taken into the leaves and kills the plant including the root. be careful not to spray any on plants you wish to keep as it will kill them. glyphosate is good to get rid of perennial weeds such as dandilions, docks, ground elder and bindweed. Plant out seeds of lettuce and other salads and carrots outdoors towards the end of the month. Plants grown indoors such as tomatoes or courgettes can start to be hardened off by putting them outside when no frost is forecast. Give the lawn a spring feed and weed application. Applying this as a solution that is watered onto the grass with a watering can is effective, although the weeds look unsightly when they die off. Tulips and narcissus are in full flower now. You may find plants for sale if you missed buying bulbs last autumn. The ever reliable Allysum will brighten a sunny spot with yellow flowers and Aubretia will cascade over walls in April. Easy to grow and to keep them compact after flowering, give them a trim to ensure the plants remain bushy. Shrubs in flower in April include Amelanchier which has masses of white flowers in spring and foliage that colours red in autumn. Kerria has pom poms of yellow
flowers on upright stems and is easy to grow in sun or light shade. Magnolias are in flower in April so looks out for Magnolia Susan for purple flowers or the small Magnolia Stellata with star shaped flowers. The flowers can be damaged by frost so if you can site the plant out of the first rays of the morning sun, this will give them some protection. Another plant for a lightly shaded spot are the Acers. The smaller varieties such as Acer palmatum dissectum with delicate foliage, do not like early morning frost which will damage new leaves. They grow best in the lee of taller trees or a house which is slightly sheltered and on lighter soil which does not dry out.

Peckforton and Beeston WI Our March meeting commenced with the usual business and among other things we were informed that we have an open invitation to join Tilstone Fearnall WI at any of their meetings; members were also encouraged to help at the Cheshire Show and to put in an entry this year. We had two choices for our summer outing and after a vote it was decided to visit Plas Teg in Wales. We welcomed Father Michael Burgess who gave an extremely amusing talk about The Seven Deadly Sins, comparing how they are perceived in the present day as opposed to those of earlier times. Father Burgess has a brilliant sense of humour and a great ability to entertain his audience even whilst discussing a serious subject. Everyone in the hall thoroughly enjoyed listening to him and he provided many laughs to send us on our way. Tea and cakes rounded off the meeting and our next one will be at 7.30 pm on Wednesday 4th April at Peckforton Village Hall when Doug Haines will speak about The Impact of the Gentry on our historic County, do come and join us.
