Justice for wildlife that is in danger from development approved by East Lindsey District Council Planning

No bat survey was carried out as promised. 

New TOADS poster coming soon.

I am dreading the clearance of this wilderness scrubland and mature english trees including oak and holly and birch. It is the sound of birdsong on my doorstep that keeps me sane.

In today's Louth Leader page 2 ; Louth canal ; East Lindsey District Council planning

In today's Louth Leader. My neighbours and myself are calling for an emergency wildlife survey. Not sure that I like Lincolnshire anymore.
In the same paper the East Lindsey District Council have the money to buy the Louth Navigation Trust listed building.

Speaker Jane Air at Tedder Hall yesterday, Tedder Hall Manby appeared on BBC Look North

I was a speaker at Tedder Hall yesterday opposing the development of 9 houses along Louth canal.
8 out of 9 district councillors voted for the development.
I now believe that my photographic evidence of local wildlife and my speech counted for nothing.
I will find out from Mr Andy Booth ( who was definately for the development ) when and what surveys are due in the near future.
I will be reporting on this development as it doesn't just affect local residents like myself but anyone who comes to Louth canal for a walk or to get close to nature.
