Red Kite spotted<br />
near Groby<br />
ON A COUPLE of occasions at the end of March, I have<br />
seen a Red Kite flying up the hill from the A50 travelling to<br />
the Martinshaw Woods.<br />
Hopefully if they are left alone we may see a small brood fledged from the<br />
wood.<br />

IF A CHILD, YOUR BEST FRIEND,<br />
OR A STRANGER HAD A<br />
CARDIAC ARREST, COULD YOU<br />
HELP SAVE THEIR LIFE?<br />
THIS MAGNIFICENTLY graceful bird of prey is<br />
unmistakable with its reddish-brown body, angled wings<br />
and deeply forked tail.<br />
It was saved from national extinction by one of the world’s longest-running<br />
protection programmes. It has now been successfully re-introduced to<br />
England and Scotland. Red Kites are listed under Schedule 1 of The<br />
Wildlife and Countryside Act.<br />
Is your SMART METER<br />
working properly?<br />
IN HIS March 27th <strong>2024</strong> article in the Daily Telegraph,<br />
Matthew Lynn claims that households may well have been<br />
overcharged for their energy use, at a time when many are<br />
already struggling to pay their energy bills.<br />
Matthew explains that, according to the latest figures from the<br />
Department for Energy, Security and Net Zero, of the 30 million meters<br />
installed in British homes, almost FOUR MILLION are not working<br />
properly. The estimate was 2.7 million in June last year, but has now been<br />
revised dramatically upwards.<br />
Matthew writes: “If ITV is looking for a follow-up to it’s hit drama about<br />
the Post Office scandal its producers and script writers do not have to look<br />
very far. It is playing out in real-time right now. In reality, the smart meter<br />
fiasco risks turning into the next Horizon scandal.”<br />
