Cutting flowers
Wiltshire Council has become notorious for cutting front-line services - youth provision, buses, recycling centres, Children's Centres and so on. The latest victims are flowers and paddling pools. Flower beds in the towns which were previously maintained by the council will be grassed over and toddlers' paddling pools in Melksham and Warminster will be closed. As usual the council says if anyone wanted to run the facility at their own expense then they would be allowed to.

10 modern day feminist icons you need to know about from Carey Mulligan to Tina Brown and including the token man - Nick Clegg
Fiercely intelligent, funny and up for a fight, they're battling gender inequality in the capital. From the British actress calling out Hollywood misogyny to the anti-FGM campaigner, Kate Wills introduces ten contemporary crusaders you need to know about The A-list Activist Carey Mulligan As laundry worker Maud Watts in Suffragette, Carey Mulligan plays a foot soldier of early feminism. But getting this story to the big screen has been a struggle. 'I think we have a sexist film industry, and stories about women are largely untold,' said Mulligan recently. 'I think a lot of people decided that it [Suffragette] wasn't financially viable.' The Oscar-nominated A-lister is unafraid to throw her star power behind the cause. 'I feel confident talking about feminism. It's become a slightly taboo, dirty word in the Western world and people feel nervous about using it... but I'd happily describe myself as a feminist.' F-word-averse stars, take note.
