The application forms and project appraisal documentation used for the 6Cs SGI capital projects funding have now been put on the Documents section of the 6Cs website. Our intention in making this paperwork available is to assist anyone who may need to develop similar forms and guidance notes in the future. Please feel free to adapt these documents to your own needs.
We reported in June on the completion of the Hicks Lodge National Forest Cycle Centre near Ashby de la Zouch and the Erewash Valley Trail on the Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire border. Since then land acquisition in the Soar Valley for the Syston Lake Nature Reserve has been completed. The Long Horse Bridge, which forms the key part of the Derwent Valley Greenway project, was lifted into place across the River Trent on 15th September 2011. The Shipley Lakeside Nature Reserve was launched on 2nd December 2011, with the new name of Woodside Nature Reserve.

On 11th October 2011 the Environment Minister, Richard Benyon, launched the National Green Infrastructure Partnership. The partnership is scheduled to have no more than a two year lifespan. It does not affect the planning or re-designation of land, but is intended to provide communities with the support they need to create more green space in their local areas. Further details remain sketchy but we have expressed an interest in being involved with this partnership.
Timed to co-incide with the National GI Partnership launch, the Landscape Institute has published 'Local Green Infrastructure helping communities make the most of their landscape'. This includes eight brief case studies and is available through the Landscape Institute's website www.landscapeinstitute.org
