Suffolk


AT the Southwold Wildlife Group’s February


Wildlife Trust meeting


SWT Community Fundraising Manager Michael Strand gave a thought provoking illustrated talk on the subject of ‘Creating Wildness’ with examples from Trust reserves such as Bradfield Woods, Knettishall Heath and Arger Fen. The Trust manages around 1% of the land in Suffolk and, whilst remaining open to the possibility


of


further acquisitions, there are diminishing


possibilities for


this in the future. In the light of this, a review of conservation practice has been undertaken and future plans for reserves will


emphasise management reducing and allowing


natural forces to take the lead, thereby ‘creating wildness’. This approach will stimulate a greater variability of habitats


Harleston Wives


THE Wives this week had company from Pulham Ladies Group and Diss Trefoil Group. There was a large group this week and we were entertained by folk musician David Young. David comes from Diss and over the years has written many songs about local lyrics. With his guitar for accompaniment he sang many of these to us. They included songs and lyrics about Farmers Market, Sandboy, Dead in Paper, Tom Blane and many others. With most of the songs he gave us a little history about how he came to write them and their subjects. After entertainment


our


group had all brought food for everyone, so we then all had a lovely supper. Bonus ball winner Steve from bowling and raffle winners included Linda S, Diane and Ginny.

Where appropriate grazing will be used to reduce biomass and create microniches – a patchwork of habitats. Natural processes, such as the flooding of Hazelwood Marshes, and intervention, such as the translocation of the Fen Raft Spider in the Waveney Valley, will be incorporated as appropriate. Management planning will be flexible and adjusted over time. invertebrates

be running the Southwold to Bungay via Halesworth route during March. Passengers will need to change buses to a First bus in Bungay. This will mean buying two separate tickets for the journey and we will be reducing the price of all tickets between Halesworth


and


Bungay during this period so that customers will not have to pay more money. We will also offer refunds on tickets that can no longer be used for all or part of the journey. We do not have final details of the price change yet.


Any passengers travelling between


Stoke Holy Cross and Framingham Earl High


School are advised to apply for school transport as soon as possible through Norfolk County Council's website to be considered for transport assistance. The cost transport


of will be £55 until


Easter, then £110 from Easter until the end of the school year. Our contracts with Norfolk County Council for evening and Sunday buses, and with Suffolk County Council for buses between Halesworth and Southwold finish on Sunday 31st March. We will also be withdrawing our buses between Halesworth


and


Bungay from the same date. We are not yet aware of the details of any new contracts that county councils will be awarding. We also intend to cease operating route 272 between Southwold and Bungay High School at the end of the spring term on April 5th and route 90 between Halesworth, Beccles and Southwold after operation on Saturday 20th April. We provide these routes for Suffolk County Council and we presume SCC will be able to find a replacement operator, as we were not the only company that bid to run these routes.


The reason that we are withdrawing these routes is that they continue to run at a loss. We have sustained losses of several million pounds in our Beccles based operation in the last few years. This has been because of the loss of contracts to other companies, the decline in the rural bus market and high operating costs and poor reliability which we have been unable to address at a small operation that is remote from our main business. We have also suffered from direct competition from First bus, whom most users now seem to prefer. We hope that First will have the good grace to step in and provide the extra facilities such as Sunday buses and the through route to Halesworth that we have hitherto provided, and not just focus on the profitable sections of route in Bungay and Poringland. We would like to thank our passengers who have supported these routes in the last few years.
