From Wednesday 24 August, we need to bring in a hosepipe ban (also known as a Temporary Use Ban) for everyone we supply water to.After the driest July on record, and below average rainfall in 10 of the last 12 months, water levels in our rivers and reservoirs are much lower than usual. We have more teams reducing leakage than ever before, working 24/7 to find and fix over 1,100 leaks a week. The recent heatwaves mean that demand for water has also hit record highs.We’ve been working around the clock to supply everyone, and customers have been brilliant at saving water where they can. This week’s rain isn’t enough to get levels back to where they need to be, and with low rainfall forecast for the coming months, we now need to take the next step in our drought plan. Everything we do now will help protect the environment and supplies next summer.-Thames Water <a data-hashtag class="hashtag" data-id="hosepipeban" href="https://campdenonline.beam.gg/search?hashtag=hosepipeban"> <a data-hashtag class="hashtag" data-id="hosepipeban" href="https://campdenonline.beam.gg/search?hashtag=hosepipeban">#hosepipeban</a> </a> <a data-hashtag class="hashtag" data-id="water" href="https://campdenonline.beam.gg/search?hashtag=water"> <a data-hashtag class="hashtag" data-id="water" href="https://campdenonline.beam.gg/search?hashtag=water">#water</a> </a>

Plans to turn a popular <a target="_self" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.gloucestershirelive.co.uk/all-about/cotswolds">Cotswolds </a>tea room into a home are up for debate next week. Paul Owen and Karen Pinfold want permission from <a target="_self" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.gloucestershirelive.co.uk/all-about/cotswold-district-council">Cotswold District Council</a> to change the use of Badgers Hall Tearoom and Bespoke Accommodation in Chipping Campden to unrestricted residential use. What are your thoughts on this? Let others know below …… Fully Article:The High Street tea rooms have a 4.5 star rating on Trip Advisor but the applicants wish to cease trading after running Badgers Hall for more than two decades. They have planned to retire for several years and have previously sought to sell the property, engaging agents in 2018 to market the premises for sale for a year.The premises relaunched onto the market in February 2021 but they have not received a reasonable offer to date. The planning statement reads: “In addition to the desire to retire, the changing economic circumstances brought about by the <a target="_self" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.gloucestershirelive.co.uk/all-about/coronavirus">Covid-19 pandemic</a> has impacted upon the business due to the ongoing economic uncertainty, which in turn will have affected the ability to sell the premises as a business opportunity.“These more recent circumstances have compounded the applicants’ desire to cease trading from the premises and retire and thus they seek to use the building solely as a residential premises for their own use.”Chipping Campden Town Council has objected to the proposals as they say it will hurt trade in the town. “It is in the main retail area in the town and will have an adverse economic impact on the other businesses in the High Street,” they said.

Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust had 1,376 followers 5 days ago . Today, millions of people own dogs, and dog-walking is one of our most popular outdoor activities. It’s something the whole family can enjoy, and is a great way of interacting with the natural world around us. But it’s really important to strike a balance between getting out and about with your dog and giving wildlife and wild places space to thrive. That’s why we’ve teamed up with National Trust and Cotswolds National Landscape to talk about the canine code.
