Hoylake’s foreshore, an SAC, holds 2% of the UK’s young sand dunes. Yet, Natural England approved 1.5ha of clearance, endangering globally rare wildlife. I’ve instructed Freeths to challenge this & am raising £1,900 in legal fees. Any support helps! 🌱❤️ gofund.me/2669579c

Nature is not a blocker to growth. The UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves has claimed that 'The balance has gone too far in the direction of always protecting every bat and every newt.' But how can this statement be true when the UK is one of the most nature depleted countries in the world?🌍

Yes b****r local communities and the environment. It’s all about unsustainable growth and putting money into the wrong people’s pockets. The Labour government really need to do better because there are a huge number of very unhappy voters out here.
