Dear All

The postponed meeting to discuss the proposed 5G mast has now been rearranged for 5pm, Sunday 25th September at Greenmount Old School.

Note that the objection date has now passed, and it is thought that this proposal will not go to a council planning committee. The decision date is 17th October.

I have attached an article from today’s Manchester Evening News which covers the problems residents in Rochdale have faced regarding the siting of one of these masts in a residential area. In this case Rochdale Council were overruled by the Government’s Planning Inspectorate, this has happened in many other areas around the country.

Hi Folks,

Many thanks to the few who turned out on Friday to help with the TWIGS area in Tottington. We made a vast difference to the area by opening up it up for more light to reach their growing area. The very tidy brash fences as ever are fantastic!

Paul and I have planned the next two Woodland Management sessions which are:

• Friday 30^th September meet at 10am at Old Kays Park for more tree felling
• Friday 28^th October meet at 10am at the end of Laurel Street Tottington BL8 3LZ (the turning circle) to work on the Kirklees Valley/Lines with crown lifting and tree/bush maintenance work

Enjoy the last days of the summer period,

All the best,

Alistair

Dear All

Hi Folks,

The next Greenmount Woodland Management day is on Friday 9^th September meeting at 10am. We are going to be working in the TWIGS area close to Tottington Station on the Lines.

Meet at the bridge on Kirklees Street at 10am, hopefully the gate will be open by the side of the road so parking can be off road.

I look forward to seeing you there.

Have a lovely weekend,

Alistair
