Støp The Arc Group is launching its own 5 minute survey of UK wide views of the proposed OxCam Arc. https://t.co/xLTqQGfAx5. Thank you for completing it and to those who have helped us challenge the gov't superficial survey which assumes the Arc is of any value. Please retweet.

It's been a long hard fight for a lot of people, but at last the Expressway has been cancelled @BBOWT

[BBO Wildlife Trust @BBOWT]

🚨Ox-Cam Expressway CANCELLED🚨
We're delighted that the Secretary of State for Transport, Grant Shapps MP, has cancelled the #OxCamExpressway. We've opposed the Expressway from the start & were engaged in a legal battle in the High Court with the Govt over its plans. 1/5

@GeorgeMonbiot @robinfbennett @Natures_Voice @BBOWT @WoodlandTrust Completely agree we need more than vague assurances.We have been told the priority for the Arc is EWRail &that the Expressway has been binned.Nature's Arc is the next step in the conversation,but that doesn't mean we won't fight (maybe in court again) if the Expressway comes back

[Matthew Stanton @MStantonUK]

@GeorgeMonbiot @Natures_Voice @BBOWT @WoodlandTrust It also says nothing of "greening" the Expressway like you claim. A simple google of BBOWT and Expressway shows BBOWT vigorously opposes it. We need to find ways to change our country's approach to infrastructure otherwise nothing will change and wildlife will continue to decline

[BBO Wildlife Trust @BBOWT]

Nature must be at the heart of plans to build up to a million new homes in the Oxford-Cambridge Arc. See the principles from us, @wildlifebcn @Natures_Voice and @WoodlandTrust for protecting and restoring nature. https://t.co/vcb0OezM6B #NaturesRecovery #NaturesArc

Days 13 and 14 of #30DaysWild - line and fill new wildlife pond. Tomorrow I’ll be installing a water butt I got on freecycle ⁦@BBOWT⁩

Day 11 of #30DaysWild - this deer visits the garden for the 3rd day in a roe. Commentary provided by Arthur @BBOWT

[Matthew Stanton @MStantonUK]

Come on @BBCParliament - no one wants to see this! It’s bucketing it down outside. It’s in the public interest to see our MPs being absolutely soaked whilst being forced to ridiculously queue outside. Cut to outside cameras

Day 10 of #30DaysWild - rubbish photo, but a lovely cinnabar moth in the garden today.

[Matthew Stanton @MStantonUK]

Day 9 of #30DaysWild - newly unfurled vibrancy in the mini meadow
