A brief blog, an observation on our present Government Manifesto promise:
"over the next five years, we will put in place strong protections for our natural landscapes" and "we will protect the green belt, and maintain national protection for [statutory protected areas] and other environmental designations.
The reality must be being planned for after HS2 as there will be the direct loss to 27
Ancient Woodlands (an other environmental designation) and indirect damage to 21 other ancient woods (total of 48 lost or damaged).
They should be held more responsible for their manifesto promises. Governments seem very keen to have 'new contracts' with business. Well, isn't it time the environment sector had a new contract with Government?
