TEV Response
to the
South Worcestershire Development Plan
'Given our purposes we welcome the fact that the Government is placing localism at the heart of the planning system. Strong local engagement and control over development decisions is to be welcomed. But it should also be recognised that there are some issues which will require consideration over a wider area than that of an individual local authority if appropriate decisions are to be made. The potential impacts of some development may extend over an area far greater than that of a local planning authority. Specific examples in the Vale of Evesham are developments which increase movements of heavy goods vehicles and developments which increase disproportionately commuting to other parts of the West Midlands'.

Dire Consequences of Climate Change impacts on Water Supplies to Growers

Following on from the above TEV Press Release on September 21st 2011 - (Please see the News Page for full details) 2 major reports have recently been released which address the concerns about the future of our water supplies here in the UK. After what has been the driest year recorded here in the Vale of Evesham, this matter of water availability will increasingly affect all of us locally. So maybe this is a good time to look into the ways we manage water both individually and collectively?

Here are the 2 major reports to view and download as pdf files -

The case for change - current and future water availability

Water for Life - government white paper
