Byline: MICHAEL BROWN

"Not only do the clean-ups help to improve the appearance of estates, but they're a good way of fostering community cohesion in a neighbourhood with people coming together with similar interests for a common goal," he said."There was also a bit of fun to be had - I was in goal for a penalty shoot-out with youngsters on the estate - and let in so many that I got tips from them about how to be a better goalkeeper.John Lee, chief executive at YHN, said he hoped the event had encouraged residents to look after their green spaces."We work hard to provide a safe, secure and attractive environment in all of our communities and the fantastic response from tenants shows that they take pride in where they live and that they are just as keen as us to maintain their attractive living spaces.Extra police patrols were laid on during the event so that residents could raise any concerns or questions with officers. And other help came from the Cyrenians, West End Women and Girls Centre and Healthworks Newcastle, with Hutchinson's Fruit and Veg providing free refreshments."There were many comments about how the planting and clean-up has made the estate look far greener and cleaner," she said."It's all about building links with communities and working together to continue to make improvements to our neighbourhoods."Jubilee Estate residents joined staff from Your Homes Newcastle (YHN), Newcastle City Council and Northumbria Police to "take ownership of the environment they live in," by digging up weeds, planting new flowers and picking up litter."The event was also a great way for staff to meet tenants who they may not come into contact with on a regular basis, and therefore build up better relationships with our customers.""People young and old on the estate got involved, together with partner agencies, and local businesses supported the initiative.CAPTION(S):SOCIAL housing tenants on a city estate spent two days transforming their community into a cleaner, greener place to live.WORKING TOGETHER Claire Buglass of Your Homes Newcastle, Pinner Rana, of Northumbria Police, Jo Jefferson of the council and resident Margie Driver plant bordersBenwell and Elswick acting neighbourhood inspector Pinner Rana, who was in goal for a penalty shoot-out involving estate youngsters, said the event had been "a great success".

BEST OF THE BUNCH Nerine […]

BEST OF THE BUNCH Nerine WHILE many gardeners will now be contemplating which spring-flowering bulbs to plant up this autumn, others will be sitting back to enjoy their summer bulb choices - and the nerine is one of the best lateflowering beauties. N. bowdenii produce beautiful, pink funnel-shaped flowers ahead of their strap-shaped leaves in September, bringing a welcome splash of colour to fading borders and patios.

Nerines need plenty of heat in early summer while they are dormant. They should be placed in a very sunny, sheltered spot with welldrained soil - ideally by a house wall - and just be left alone to do their thing.

3 Cannabis Farms Found Every Week

Byline: LOUISE COOPER

"Within West Yorkshire, a large number of our cannabis farms are, in fact, very small with a high percentage of them constituting fewer than 20 plants.A request from The Examiner to break down the quantity of drugs was declined by Freedom of Information Officers who said data was not collated to specify the number of plants."They also demonstrate our determination to being proactive in finding the factories and to act on information that the public provide.They believe the house in South Avenue had been used to produce a large number of plants.One neighbour said: "We noticed the gardens were very overgrown and we wondered if anyone was living there.The number of incidents for 2010/11 was 137.In 2008/2009 the force recorded 100 incidents of cannabis cultivation and this rose in the following year to 173.* FACTORY FARMING: These cannabis plants were discovered at a house in Huddersfield earlier this year. Below: The house in South Avenue, CowlersleyMany of the farms, especially the larger ones, see the criminals using light and heat systems to cultivate the plants.The Cowlersley house was searched by officers last week, after the landlord discovered plastic sheeting in several of the rooms.Some of the factories had been growing plants with an estimated street value of over pounds -m. In a separate incident in the same year police found cannabis almost pounds 100,000 at a mill complex in Kirklees.Police have also used heat-detecting equipment on board the West Yorkshire force helicopter to detect high heat source readings through roofs."When police arrived they carried out a number of boxes and other containers".CAPTION(S):Figures released by West Yorkshire Police Under a Freedom of Information request showed the force's detection of cannabis cultivation in the last three years has seen more than 400 operations shut down.Back in 2008 officers swooped at a house on Richmond Road in Hanging Heaton, Batley, and found more than 300 plants.A West Yorkshire Police spokesman said: "The figures reflect our force's intention to make West Yorkshire a hostile environment for people wanting to grow cannabis.Around 300 cannabis plants were recovered at the two factories inside the Headfield Mills complex off Savile Road, Savile Town in Dewsbury."These represent a very small cultivation operations."But one of the biggest hauls for Kirklees division officers was uncovered in dawn raids last year at nine properties in Heckmondwike and Batley when 2,000 cannabis plants were seized.And in the latest incident, police recovered growing equipment from a house in Cowlersley.The electricity meter had also been bypassed, which is typical of cannabis production on a large scale.THREE cannabis farms are being discovered every week in Kirklees.Many of the farms and factories have been found after public tip-offs to police. On many occasions, people have become suspicious of houses where the curtains are never drawn back or where there is often a heavy smell in the area.A spokesman said: "Enquiries are continuing and we would urge anyone with information to contact the Valleys Neighbourhood Policing Team on 0845 6060606.The cannabis factory spanned over several rooms contained lighting units and ventilation systems were found and the electricity supply had also been diverted.New figures show that a police crackdown on cannabis cultivation in Kirklees last year saw police raiding premises around three times a week.

Simple ground rules for barn conversion; Sponsored by

The building was to be insulated to a high specification and energy would include a high percentage of renewable, locally generated sources.The pond supports newts and dragonflies, primarily, and a range of pond insects and water snails. There is also a wide range of birds finding a rich haven on the edge of the fells.It has been in her family for quite a while and, in the last few years, she has set about making it a beautiful and low-energy building, with a wildflower meadow selected to consist of upland fell plants.Replacing concrete roof tiles are local slate tiles in keeping with the feel of the place. A solar thermal water heating panel on the roof kept a tank of water at a good 41 degrees for a shower, even early in the morning.The house has most internal walls and roof lined with a very thick layer of insulation made from local wool and assembled in Penrith. The old stone stalls from the byre form the ends of the kitchen units. The tops for these units are made from recycled plastics, such as yogurt pots, pressed into colourful work surfaces.There is a ground source heat pump for heating, and a log stove in the open sitting room.Firstly, whatever could be salvaged from the old building should be reused in the new one, providing it was useful. Locallysourced materials were to be used wherever available.Materials were to be sustainable, such as local wood and stone, while the use of PVC was to be minimised. Other materials could be recycled ones. If any of the old barn material was not going to be reused there, she would see if other local people had a construction use for it, so waste was minimised.Finding builders willing to work with these kind of specifications is an important part of going green in building work.When the owner set about getting the barn into a liveable condition she set a few green ground rules for herself and builders to follow. I thought these were an interesting guide to anyone doing conversions and building work who wants to consider the environment.Of course, we don't all have the chance to rebuild barns, but applying some of those green principles to whatever building projects we want done would greatly reduce the environmental impact on the world around us. It might also make our little corner a nicer place to be.To be more precise, I visited his old barn, which the current owner has been converting into one of the most ecologicallysound and beautiful places I have ever visited.JOHN peel was a famous fox hunter, I am not.
