Nature Survey

Warwickshire County Council, in partnership with the Local Nature Partnership, is seeking support from residents, businesses and community groups to share their views on natural environments, biodiversity and local areas. The survey seeks to find out which areas of the recovery of our natural world they think should be prioritised.

The LNRS will be a key strategy that will outline a roadmap for restoring and improving Warwickshire’s natural environment, ensuring that it is sustainable now and for future generations.

Have your say now to help shape the recovery of nature in Warwickshire.

The survey can be found at: https://ask.warwickshire.gov.uk/bi/nature-recovery/

The survey closes on 8th September.

Compton Verney Sprint Triathlon

https://www.do3.co.uk/compton-verney-sprint-triathlon

~200 participants

A sprint distance race starting at 8.30am and finishing around 11am, featuring a 400m swim in the lake at Park Farm, a 21km bike ride around the Warwickshire countryside and a 5km run around Compton Verney/Combrook on the trails and local roads

Run https://www.strava.com/routes/2923924748954485966

There will be marshals on key junctions on the routes to assist, we have a private first aid company with an ambulance, and a bike breakdown vehicle.  There will be directional signage for where a marshal isn’t required.  The race is being overseen by the sport’s governing body, British Triathlon, and we will have a technical official present at the event and motorcycle officials on the bike routes.

We will be putting up signage in the week running up to the event and aim to take this down within 2 days after the event.

We don’t expect the volume of participants to create any significant issues, and we hope drivers will be patient and pass cyclists and runners safely.  It would be great if people came out to cheer the athletes on – it’ll be a big (and tough) day for many of them!
