A linear park is a new one on us! All part of what's happening in the North West of the city. A prestoncouncil councillor has called for some major tree works to be done to hide the line of pylons through it ⚡
The facility has been in the pipeline since a masterplan for the area was adopted in 2017 to guide the development of the 5,500 new homes that it is expected will be built along a corridor to the south of the M55 by the mid-2030s. The green space will stretch in a south-westerly direction from the junction of Sandy Lane and Bartle Lane to a point just north of Hoyles Lane.
“If you think of the word ‘park’ in your head – and you think of a children’s [play area] – you don’t want [children] underneath pylon cables, do you? I wouldn’t,” said Cllr Hensahw, who proposed an alternative vision for the space as one for running or “active travel”. City council planning case officer Robert Major said that the masterplan had likely reserved the space surrounding the pylons for a park because it was not otherwise “developable”.
He warned that any trees planted to mitigate the effects of the pylons would have to be of varieties that would not grow too close to the power cables.However, councillors were also told that the design of the park would ultimately be in their hands as it would require a formal planning application from the authority itself, on which committee members would have the final decision.

Relationship between mental health and climacteric adjustment in middle aged women: a confirmatory analysis - BMC Women's HealthBackground Climacteric changes in women are associated with an increased probability of psychological symptoms. Identifying the relationship between adjustment to this period and mental health helps to plan for middle-aged women’s health improvement. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the relationship between climacteric adjustment (CA) and mental health in middle aged women. Method This cross-sectional study was conducted on 190 women aged 40 to 53 years. Mental health symptoms (including hypochondriasis, anxiety, depression, and social impairment) and CA were assessed using 28-item general health questionnaire and the CA questionnaire, respectively, as a self-report. Data were analyzed using linear and stepwise regression methods, and the fitting of the resulting conceptual model was assessed using AMOS software. Results The results showed that hypochondriasis score and social impairment, anxiety level and CA in the perfection dimension, and social impairment score and CA in perfection, decline in beauty, and sexual silence dimensions had an inverse relationship. Moreover, the relationship between anxiety score and CA in the reaction to end of menstruation and the relationship between social impairment and decline of femininity were positive and significant. Factor analysis of the conceptual model obtained from the study results demonstrated a good model fit (CMIN /DF = 0.807, P = .671). Conclusion The results showed a relationship between CA and psychological symptoms in middle-aged women. In other words, the level of hypochondriasis, anxiety, and social impairment symptoms decreased with increasing CA in sexual silence, perfection, and decline in beauty.
