@Sova1207 @drrozhall @RootsAllotments @DeborahMeaden @ChrisGPackham @RSPBEngland @bcnpartnership @ClimateRadio @youngclimatewrs @soloparentuk @Ben_garrod @TheBristolCable @Catherinewith11 It's funny because lots of the things they say aren't there, suddenly are when an actual ecologist goes and checks the site. Sadly that happened too late for the wildlife in the first field that are now covered with 'compost' full of plastics

@drrozhall @ProtectTheWild_ @RootsAllotments It
seems criminal that @NorthSomersetC just let them do it 😔 and don't actually support the community

Roots Allotments have been in the news recently after both Deborah Meaden & Chris Packham have voiced their disgust at the destruction of Skylarks nesting sites at their new allotments in Bristol. When

Then they say they're saving the world and helping people grow

[Lucy Dilloway @LucyDilloway]

@RootsAllotments @DeborahMeaden @Clairerising No, just pick the right sites to do it. Why not choose brown sites in the middle of cities that people who may want them can actually access?!

[Lucy Dilloway @LucyDilloway]

@RootsAllotments @DeborahMeaden You've literally been hammering posts into the ground above badger sets in the last month- are you deluded?

[Chris Packham @ChrisGPackham]

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

@morss_alex It's been reported left, right and centre but no one is doing anything. All these wildlife protection groups can't seem to do anything until the damage is done - which is a bit backwards really

@greenbeltsal @drrozhall @RootsAllotments @GreenJennyJones @DeborahMeaden @ThangamMP @ClimateRadio @Ben_garrod @NorthSomersetC @ChrisGPackham @soloparentuk @DanicaPriest @Catherinewith11 Yes, sadly

[Lucy Dilloway @LucyDilloway]

@drrozhall @RootsAllotments @GreenJennyJones @DeborahMeaden @ThangamMP @ClimateRadio @Ben_garrod @NorthSomersetC @ChrisGPackham @soloparentuk @DanicaPriest @Catherinewith11 @NorthsomersetC and this isn't development that requires planning?! Unbelievable

@drrozhall @RootsAllotments @GreenJennyJones @DeborahMeaden @ThangamMP @ClimateRadio @Ben_garrod @NorthSomersetC @ChrisGPackham @soloparentuk @DanicaPriest @Catherinewith11 Disgusting

@Kieran__kieran @UKREiiF @Pagabo_ Looking forward to Roots being quizzed on their butchering of an ecologically vital site in N Somerset. Their destruction of land used by red-listed skylarks and linnets and their killing of wild deer. Roots Allotments Uncovered on Facebook. Or https://t.co/nDhzSAfH3z

[Lucy Dilloway @LucyDilloway]

@chrissiew4 @DanicaPriest Some tractors were dumping 14 loads of soil (which last time they did this were full of plastic) and one tractor was to block the entrance so locals couldn't go in and protest or protect the land/nests

[Quayside Media @QuaysideMedia]

@ranger1uk @christinazaba @chrissiew4 @DanicaPriest @RootsAllotments @Natures_Voice Abbots Leigh, North Somerset. A fair way outside Bristol. Allota Futureland Ltd aka Roots call it Bristol in their marketing. They expect to do this all over the country in Green Belt land, & say it’s going to be a £100M business. Venture capital backed.

[Paul Thompson @Paul1968T]

@ChrisGPackham @Natures_Voice Meanwhile. Just outside #Bristol venture capitalist backed private allotment firm Roots Allotments - having already euthanised a deer that got stuck on its fencing - are dumping 100s tonnes of composted municipal waste on a wildflower meadow known to be populated by skylarks.

@ranger1uk @drrozhall @RootsAllotments @NorthSomersetC @avonwt @TheBristolCable @XRBristol @ClimateRadio @youngclimatewrs @DeborahMeaden @ChrisGPackham @RSPBEngland It's near Leigh Woods, Abbots Leigh, North Somerset

[JDeeReed @JDeeReed1]

@drrozhall @RootsAllotments @RSPBEngland @NorthSomersetC @ChrisGPackham @TheBristolCable @XRBristol @friendofthefox @avonwt @DeborahMeaden Unreal, celebrating trashing a wildflower meadow, a known skylark territory in nesting season.
Not even in Bristol!

@drrozhall @RootsAllotments @NorthSomersetC @avonwt @TheBristolCable @XRBristol @ClimateRadio @youngclimatewrs @DeborahMeaden @ChrisGPackham @RSPBEngland @Ben_garrod @rootsallotments need to explain this soon-to-be-viral video.
