#votefornature#dayofaction#saveourgreenspaces The outskirts of my village has a pending application for 130 houses. It’s grade 1 agricultural land. It’s a diverse habitat. It’s recreation and amenity. It’s not in a sustainable location & infrastructure is terrible @bathnes
@BrokenBritain_7@bathnes Because they actually do good for the village. The rest of the candidates were unknown. And only one remains in Labour. Best not to talk on subjects you know nothing about.
People without a bloody clue about nature should not own land! 👇
Pleas have been made for tighter laws to protect nature habitats and green spaces after two acres of woodland and scrub were hacked down without warning in Ilfracombe leaving "a wasteland".
The sound of birds was replaced by the sound of machinery as mature trees and plant life were obliterated and secret gardens, which backed onto the haven frequented by deer at Langleigh, were suddenly exposed.
The landowner said he had cleared overgrown areas in order “to manage the field” after removing trees that had got out of hand for neighbours.
North Devon district and county councillor for Ilfracombe Sara Wilson said she was “really annoyed and angry” that the work, which had completely changed the environment, had been done in the nesting season (between March 1 and August 31) when the trees were likely to be full of life.

@drgbristow@bathnes That’s ok, I know it’s unbelievable to think developers and councils would suggest building on some of the best land in the country. Tbf it’s only used part of the year for sheep, sometimes a few cows. Further on down they use it for crops like potatoes.
@drgbristow@bathnes That’s what it is according to the land classification maps and B&NES acknowledge that. It’s amenity and recreation as it has well used footpaths. Look it up for yourself if you want 25/03044/OUT
@Greenturtle1000@bathnes That is utterly depressing. We should not be building on things like this when there are so many empty homes, brownfield sites and unbuilt planning permissions. #VoteForNature
It’s easy to take the countryside for granted.
In Surrey, our countryside is under constant pressure from development, infrastructure, and changing land use. Once it’s gone, it’s gone.
Let's protect these landscapes for future generations.
Stand up for the #countryside

Hampshire’s rare chalk streams shape landscapes and lives, yet face mounting threats from pollution and development.
Now, four councils have adopted Rights of Rivers motions, signalling a shift in how these precious waterways are valued, protected and restored for future generations 💚💚💚
Hampshire’s rivers shape the landscape, weaving through towns, cities and rural outreaches. They are enjoyed by many. From the Meon to the Hamble and the Loddon to the Wey, they mean many different things to different people.
A slice of solace for anglers, a burst of joy for wild swimmers, a source of intrigue for ecologists and a stunning backdrop for paddleboarders, kayakers, cyclists and runners.
