A popular nature site has been given a boost to help wildlife and make it more attractive to visitors.
Telford & Wrekin Council has completed a programme of clearing dead and overgrown trees and plants at Horsehay Pool in Spring Village, to the delight of residents.
By removing dead trees that straddle the brook and excavating the channel that had silted up, the Friends of Horsehay Pool and project officers have separated the island, recreating an aquatic habitat and protecting nesting birds from predators. To further enhance the site, the council supplied bulbs that were planted earlier in the year by the Friends group.

What Halloween is like at the farm in the middle of the M62 - Jill ThorpHalloween has come and gone with little celebration from us. As children we would attend the odd party usually wearing a homemade costume, but being on the outskirts of a village at the top of a long steep hill, trick or treating never really reached our door. It would need to be a very determined trick or treater to trudge all the way out to Stott Hall. Getting past our Fort Knox style gate would deter most and those that decided to go through the creepy forest would definitely be spooked to death by the yelps, shrieks and hoots of the resident wildlife.
