The other reserves the trust has bat improvement plans for are: Lower Woodford, The Firs in Braydon, Blackmore Copse near Salisbury, Clouts Wood in Wroughton, and Great Wood near Royal Wootton Bassett.The work would involve managing woodlands to provide roosting sites for the bats with techniques like "veteranisation".

This is when roosting features are put in smaller trees that will then become useful for bats as the trees get older, which mimics more natural roosts.Improving and creating ponds is also important as they support insects, a main food source for many bats.There is also a multi-year monitoring programme planned to track populations, understand their movements and identify key areas for conservation action.

A campaign to reopen a Borders leisure centre has gathered pace after close to 1,000 supporters packed into a public meeting.The Laidlaw Memorial Leisure Centre in Jedburgh closed last November when its operating trust became insolvent.

A hike in energy prices and staff costs, coupled with a reduction in footfall since the pandemic, were blamed for annual losses of up to £50,000.

Gary Feldman, who chairs Jedburgh Community Council, is leading the campaign to reopen the facility. He said: "Opening the swimming pool is seen as vital for everyone who has come to this meeting."The decision to turn down Diana Sosoaca's candidacy because of her views was widely criticised in Romania.

He denied he was "Moscow's man", in a BBC interview last year, but referred to Vladimir Putin as a "patriot and a leader" while pointing out "I am not a fan".Meanwhile, Romanian police said they had carried out raids in several counties around the country, targeting 27 individuals as part of a criminal case relating to the creation of an organisation "with a fascist, racist or xenophobic nature".
