Disappointing to record that plastic bottles full of lemonade where being thrown around on Hob Moor today by two youths.
We thought that the message about the dangers of plastic for wildlife had been well made.
Perhaps not.
Plastic bottles on Hob Moor 28th Feb 2019
Hedges are being ripped out by contractors in preparation for the start of building works at Windsor House and Lincoln Court.
The new disabled centre, which will replace Windsor House, does have planning permission. It is understandable that developers Sewells will want to remove the hedges before the bird nesting season starts.
Work to the rear of Lincoln Court is more controversial. A planning permission granted in December was found to be flawed. This forced the Council, to submit a new application which has yet to be determined. It has attracted a lot of objections including a significant one from Sport England.
It is therefore premature to undertake work in that area.
