Our Bromley Branch takes home a green gong at the Bromley Environmental Awards:
Last Friday (26th June) our Bromley branch won a prestigious accolade in the Business Environment category for building energy efficient design, renewable energy installations, energy management and landscape biodiversity measures at the Borough of Bromleys Environment Awards, 2009.
Bromleys Mayor, Councillor Douglas Auld hosted an evening celebrating sustainability in the Council Chamber and its lush gardens which houses a moat, a marvellous duck house and fountain accented by a live orchestra and on a beautiful summers evening.
Environmental champion, Alistair McGowan presented our very own Scott Mackenzie and Aaron Bekir with the Business Environment trophy and commented Can you build one of your stores near my house please?.
Details of all winners will soon be available at http://www.bromley.gov.uk/environmentawards

Predator Trap using live bait “The Phil Trap; Using live bait humanely kept.
Trap includes a 22mm thick laminate glass window (1,200 mm X 900mm) to prevent predators catching the live bait (in this case rabbits) or penetrating the glass. Live bait are fed by an auto feed station seen in the video and feed lasts for 5 months (but you can make it last longer …with more feed storage. Water is provided via a permanent river which runs at the end of the wire tunnel. The long period of self servicing by th elive bait of food and water means human scent is not as much of a concern as all other traps that require more frequesnt servicing.
The activation pad is concelled under the leaf matter at the foot of the impenetrable laminated window which was prepared by the same glass manufacturer for the Taronga zoo tiger enclosure in Sydney. The activation pad triggers the guillotine type drop down door, which is accellerated by large spring loaded + gravity.
The trap actively catches Feral Foxes and Feral Cats in Australia. But I am certain it would catch others in other ecosystems, such as Leopard, Puma etc and Wild Digs and hopefully a remnant thylacoleo or big cat or whatever it is that appears periodically in a remote area.
It utilises the enticing principles used in a greyhound race track. The predator becomes fixated on the prey and gets led into the trap.
Use the design concept, It works. This design is free to use and is humane, unlike the “Red Neck” jaw traps that are cruel beyond comprehsion, let alone the fact that they also destroy other animals unintended for capture.
My trap is maintenance free for 5 months other then visual checks on daily runs but you can hooka Transmitting device to signal closure.
the trap is Fixed in a position. It is not transportable, without a major physical exercise.
The trap consists of two sections the trap itself and the cage section that contains the live bait (in this case rabbits). The two a re separated by galvanised wire cage material and the laminated/impenetrable glass panel. The trap section detaches from the cage section to permite transportation onto a utility or tray back vehicle. This prevents personal injury from a wild aggressive predator.
The only condition I ask if you intend copying my design is that the design of the trap must be called PHIL’s PREDATOR TRAP. It is my only claim to fame and help protect native animals being destroyed by introduced predators like cats and foxes. It does not harm either the live bait or the target trapped predator.
If you need more details email me on catchitalive@hotmail.com and I will happily answer any question.
Good Luck, enjoy and good health to our endangered wildlife.
