Nicholas Coleman+FollowCheshire farm faces new rail threat—againAfter years of battling to save nearly half their land from the scrapped HS2 rail line, the Edge family in Wimboldsley, Cheshire, are back in limbo. Despite HS2’s cancellation, a new north-south rail plan has revived fears of losing their dairy farm, just as they were finally close to selling up for retirement. This uncertainty isn’t just about one family—it’s affecting entire communities along the old route, with empty homes and stalled futures. How much longer should residents be left hanging, unable to plan their lives or businesses? What’s your take on the ongoing impact of these shifting rail plans? #Business #Industry #Cheshire00Share
martinezlaura+FollowHedgehogs in Cheshire pick food over fancy gardensTurns out, hedgehogs in Cheshire aren’t swayed by flowerbeds or bug hotels—they’re all about where the food is! Researchers set up hidden cameras in over 400 gardens and found these little creatures flock to spots with the best snacks, sometimes even sharing bowls with foxes. When food runs out, hedgehog numbers drop fast. With their population shrinking due to urbanization and other threats, simple acts like leaving out cat biscuits or creating wild corners in your yard could make a real difference. Anyone else tempted to set up a hedgehog buffet? #Science #Cheshire #Hedgehogs00Share
