Some more photos were sent in from the chair of our Parish Plan Steering Group, Iain Roxburgh. He managed to snap Solihull's Lord Mayor Norman Davies admiring the work of the council, npower and Meriden Primary School's Eco Club. Cabinet Member for the Environment Councillor Kate Wilde was also in attendance and will be featured later in our blog when more photos come through. What a great effort by all who are featured in the team photo. By this time, students from Meriden Primary School's Eco Club were back at their desks.
It's important that residents understand Meriden's wild fowl need proper feeding. The project team erected an information board featuring the wild fowl it attracts and how to feed them responsibly. Basically, the old tradition of using white bread is dangerous to their wellbeing. Grain, wheat, carrot, lettuce, and seeds are what they need. And remember, any uneaten bread will attract uninvited guests - the rats! There's a link to the RSPB website for further feeding tips http://www.rspb.org.uk/advice/helpingbirds/
