Question: The money, from conservation funding body Wren, will be used to help Fairy Glen Local Nature Reserve's leat flow once again. Bat boxes and a new notice board will also be installed and work to control non-native species will be carried out. The leat, next to the River Colwyn, originally fed a waterfall feature and a nearby mill pond in the 1900s. Work will start in March and is expected to take four to six weeks.

Answer: Cash to restore Colwyn Bay's Fairy Glen Nature Reserve waterway


Question: A total of 30,076 people have now died in hospitals, care homes and the wider community after testing positive for the virus, up by 649 from Tuesday. Communities Secretary Robert Jenrick said they were "heartbreaking losses". On Tuesday, the number of deaths recorded in the UK passed Italy's total, becoming the highest in Europe. The latest total for Italy, which also records deaths of those who have tested positive for the virus, stands at 29,684. The UK now has the second-highest number of recorded coronavirus deaths in the world, behind the United States which has more than 70,000. Experts have warned that it could be months before full global comparisons can be made. Each country also has different testing regimes, with Italy conducting more tests than the UK to date. Mr Jenrick told the government's daily coronavirus briefing: "It is difficult to make international comparisons with certainty, there will be a time for that." However, Prof Sir David Spiegelhalter - a member of the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage) advising the government on the pandemic - said the UK "should now use other countries to try and learn why our numbers are so high". Prof Spiegelhalter tweeted the remark as he urged ministers to stop referencing an article he wrote for the Guardian "to claim we cannot make any international comparisons yet". He added that his article was only referring to it not being possible to make "detailed league tables" to compare international deaths. Earlier in the Commons, Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said the government had been too slow to introduce the lockdown and too slow to increase the number of tests. And challenging Prime Minister Boris Johnson on the rising numbers of deaths in care homes, the new Labour leader said: "Twelve weeks after the health secretary declared that we're in a health crisis, I have to ask the prime minister - why hasn't the government got to grips with this already?" Meanwhile, testing for coronavirus in the UK has fallen to its lowest level in a week. The government provided 69,463 tests in the 24 hours up to 09:00 BST on Wednesday, lower than its testing target of 100,000 for the fourth consecutive day. It had previously pledged to conduct 100,000 tests a day from the beginning of May - it has reached that number on two occasions. As well as tests conducted in person, it also includes thousands of postal tests, which have not necessarily been carried out on the day. Shadow health secretary Jonathan Ashworth tweeted: "Testing should be going up, not be on this downward trajectory. Ministers need to explain why they are failing to deliver the testing promised." Earlier, Boris Johnson said it was his "ambition" to increase coronavirus testing capacity to 200,000 a day by the end of May. On Tuesday, the UK recorded 6,111 new cases of coronavirus - the third highest daily total so far. The number of new cases - more than 6,000 - may seem shocking. It is after all one of the highest daily totals so far. But it is not quite what it seems. Because many more tests are being carried out than they were (even taking into account the dip in activity since the 100,000 mark was "hit" last week) more cases that would have previously gone undetected are now being diagnosed. Two thirds of these new cases are among groups that just a month ago would mostly not have been tested, including the over 65s and those who have to leave home to go to work. It does not mean there is more virus circulating. All the indications - from hospital admissions to deaths - show the number of infections have been falling for some time. The seemingly large number is simply a consequence of testing more. It has been just over nine weeks since the UK recorded its first death on 2 March. The personal stories of those who have died are continuing to emerge. Among those was Jennie Sablayan, a 44-year-old haematology nurse who worked at the University College London Hospital for more than 18 years. The hospital said she was an "expert in her field" who treated cancer patients with kindness and dedication. Senior NHS pharmacy technician, Jermaine Wright, 45, was described as a "people person" with a passion for food and football. He was called the "driving force" behind London's amateur football scene. Afua Fofie, a healthcare assistant in London, was "known for her infectious laugh and willingness to go the extra mile for patients and her colleagues", according to the Hounslow and Richmond C ommunity Healthcare Trust. Meanwhile, five residents have now died at care home at the centre of a Covid-19 outbreak on the Isle of Skye. In other developments:

Question: The changes will see council tax bands E-H rise from April 2017. An opposition amendment meant SNP members were forced to vote for a motion noting that they had failed to make radical enough changes. Finance Secretary Derek Mackay said the changes were "the first step in a journey of reform". The council tax freeze is to end in 2017, meaning all properties could potentially see their bill rise. But the order passed at Holyrood means the top four bands will rise in proportion to the others. The average band E household will pay £2 per week more than at present, and those in the highest band about £10 a week more Parliament had to pass a piece of secondary legislation in order to raise the bands, and this went before MSPs as a parliamentary bureau motion after Finance Secretary Derek Mackay persuaded the local government committee to support the move. Green member Andy Wightman put forward an amendment accepting the changes, but noting that parliament "regrets" that the plans "undermine the principle of local accountability and autonomy and fail to address a number of issues". This was accepted by MSPs, with all opposition members supporting it and SNP members opposed. This meant government MSPs had to vote in favour of a motion critical of their approach in order to get the order passed. The average annual increase in council tax as a result of the band adjustments would be; Opposition members have repeatedly called for a different approach from the Scottish government, with many pointing to the findings of the Commission on Local Tax Reform. Mr Wightman said the government plans were a "tepid re-heat of a discredited system" and were "fatally flawed", but said the Greens would support the order no matter what amendments were made. Finance Secretary Derek Mackay replied that the changes were just the "first steps on a journey of reform", hitting out at "opportunistic opposition" over the vote. He pointed out that the plans would raise £100m to be spent on education, and said the SNP would not let party politics get in the way of this. But Tory member Graham Simpson said this was "uncharted territory", with the government aiming to raise money at a council level and then spend it nationally on education. He called this an "attack on local democracy". Labour's Alex Rowley said the government had not been honest about their tax plans, but said his party would support the rate rises as they were better than the existing system. And Lib Dem leader Willie Rennie said his party would oppose the order as it would only "embed" the council tax, calling for "true reform". At decision time, Mr Wightman's amendment was passed by 65 votes to 63 after an amendment put forward by Mr Mackay was defeated by the same margin. The final motion then passed by 92 votes to 35. Analysis by BBC Scotland Political Editor Brian Taylor These are not ordinary times; this is not routine politics. The SNP is in a minority - and, boy, do the other parties want to emphasise that point. I detect a real difference from the parliament of 2007/2011 - when deals were common, especially between the SNP and the Conservatives over the budget. Now the Tories, emboldened by their electoral second place, are resisting SNP blandishments - while Labour, the Greens and the Lib Dems are similarly immune to appeals for consensus. This may change - there may yet be bargains to come - but right now the tone is different. The outcome? Parliament carried an amendment from the Greens which gave the go-ahead to the upper band increases but added some decidedly sharp criticism of the government which, understandably, was inimical to ministers and their supporters. In vain, did Derek Mackay, the finance secretary, accuse his opponents of opportunism. In vain, did he advance a neutral amendment of his own - offering talks and stressing the twin aims of a progressive and fair local government finance system. In order to secure those higher band charges, in order to secure the anticipated £100m for spending on school attainment, SNP MSPs were obliged to swallow their pride and vote for an amended SSI which criticised their own government.

Answer:
MSPs vote to raise top four council tax bands
