PLANNING AND INFRASTRUCTURE BILL 😡😠
When laws that protect wildlife are weakened, it isn’t “reform”, it is loss. The Planning Bill clears the way for quick wins today in favour of long-term damage tomorrow. Nature deserves better than a system that sidesteps and devalues it.

@GlosterBirder Nightmare !!😤 I’ve seen more tree cutting, hedge trimming and strimming in Wales than anywhere else. Anything goes !!!😩😢
