It’s Bird Nesting Season….
…….but that hasn’t stopped someone hacking at the shrubbery on the flood dykes over the fence at the bottom of Peafield park. The trees have been massacred, chopped, just mutilated. Not only does this look unsightly but it has opened up potential access to motorbikes, which are already a problem on the park.
I have emailed Notts County Council, who own this tract of land and I await a response. I shall follow up this post when I have news. NCC environment & conservation spokesman knew nothing about this and was unable to help. He advised a call to the Police, which was made by my colleague. Police visited the scene, but the men had already left.
I am happy to inform you that I have got the work stopped after a number of calls to various agencies, so the birds and shrubbery are safe. In future, projects such as these will have to be given the OK by the Parks Development Officer (conservation) at MDC. I call that a ‘result’! .
have your say
