Why has @BristolCouncil decided not to designate Yew Tree Farm as a Local Green Space (LGS) in its proposals for the new Local Plan? It was going to do so when the 2019 consultation was held. Here is our case for the farm to be given LGS protection: bristoltreeforum.org/wp-content/upl…
Did you know most councils spray parks with toxic pesticides? They contain chemicals which are harmful to our health, our pets and native wildlife😲 Sign the petition to ban the use of urban pesticides now: pesticidecollaboration.org/calling-for-th… #GoPesticideFree

I went on the first march for nature a few years ago. It was a lovely social event, with a few thousand people, most of whom I knew, but to be honest, fairly ineffective. Today was a proper mass movement: 100,000 passionate people fighting to restore nature. Real progress!
Could we please stop denigrating wild animals by associating them with the worst possible human traits? I'm thinking in particular of loan sharks, weasel politicians, wolves in sheep's clothing and Laurence Fox.
Utterly nailed it.
Increasing access to green spaces is a must– and allotments are a great way to do that , and more . But when you’re a venture capital-backed firm developing on species rich grassland , with breeding skylarks . . . you’re in the wrong @RootsAllotments novaramedia.com/2024/01/24/cap…
"If a new definition of 'ugly' land is made, there is then a risk that landowners will allow their land to uglify to meet the stipulations." Thanks to @RosieP4 for pointing out the flaws in the logic re #GreenBelt planning. @UKLabour and @Keir_Starmer telegraph.co.uk/money/property…
An ancient hedgerow in an SNCI was ripped out, and the mitigation saplings are being eaten by cows because they’ve not bothered to fence it. Cows will eat 100% of these saplings, as those spirals are only meant to protect against rabbits.

I will always be fascinated by the fact that most industrial age cities in the northern hemisphere developed, & still do have, richer areas to the west of the centre, & poorer areas in the east, because the prevailing wind means west is less affected by the city’s own pollution.
DEVELOPER PROMISES vs REALITY This is in Witham, Essex. Utterly depressing. @BraintreeDC could you tell us what you can do about this? TPO'd trees were to be retained by Bellway for public green space. @JamesAbbott2013

Still in pursuit of an answer: BCC ‘as landowner’ is no longer siding with @CothamSchool and the CRA is robustly defending the decision to register Stoke Lodge - but who was making decisions to try to undermine PROWG? And at what level? #AuditCommittee
