Good morning all,
I have this morning visited Leisure Services at Wolverhampton City Council.
I have submitted that the works carried out last week together with the supposed future works at the above sites has threatened a number of species of birds and also caused major disturbance to Badgers that will already have young underground and at present are free from the T.B. mayhem that threatens their farmland counterparts.
I am pleased to report that I was met with sympathy and understanding and I have requested a formal meeting to share information, before any further work or disturbance occurs.
The council are aware that most species are already paired and prospecting nest sites, so that effectively the breeding system has begun.
I shall keep everyone updated regarding developments as they unfold.
In the meantime, please have faith and lets not allow red mist to lead us to jump to conclusions. So many people came to me over the weekend, after asking the work-people questions last week. Let's wait and see what comes from the horse's mouth. I was given a lot of time this morning and my initial feelings are positive.
Anyone with concerns or feelings can email their views to smestowsightings@gmail.com
Thank you so much for the support and coverage by David Ashcroft. It shows the level of care and understanding for the valley's ecology that will protect our precious LNR. To see David's report of 2/3/2013 and also on a more positive note to enjoy his photographic abilities go to wolveswild.net
Also I want to give wholehearted support to Jason who is the "guardian" for the area around Shenstone, near Kidderminster.
You may be aware that it is one of the few sites left where you can be pretty much guaranteed to see good numbers of Corn Bunting and Grey Partridge.
Jason is fighting plans to turn a former paddock along Heath Lane into a permanent site for travelling show people.
the proposals are under consultation until 16 February 2013, so we do not have much time to voice our opposition. Please help protect these endearing bird species and other wildlife by airing your views to the council at:
