Green Space Destroyed

Destruction of wild life area
Do we no longer care about our trees.

This information is from the southport visitor friday 10th march 2006
neighbours of small wild life area say they are outraged
at the destruction of sanctuary of wildlife.
Ian and Sue bought the land off previous owner.


The old owner tried to get the land protected.
why did the councel not allow a preservation order?







" Destruction of Ainsdale : Does anyone care?
Part of Ainsdale's "green belt" has been buldozed. A plot of original sand hills in Station road Ainsdale has be made to look like WW1 battle field. Once the home of barn owls and red squirrels it is now a ploughed wasteland waiting for developers.
I wonder if planning permission has been granted for this work."

If there was any endangered red squirels there
many of them have now lost thier homes or
possibly died.

"When I was young RED SQUIRRELS were common across the length and breadth of Britain. Sadly, thanks to the invasion of its grey cousin introduced from America, RED SQUIRRELS have been driven out from much of their territory." David Bellamy.

Red Alert North West is hard at work in one of the last strongholds of this endearing creature. It aims to reverse the trend and put RED SQUIRRELS back where they should be.

Ian and Sue Rowe moved in the chainsaws ,diggers and bulldozers
and cut the whole reserve down.

Were they allowed to demolish the woods, or should people who own land privetly to do what they want.

Trees all over the world are getting destroyed for things like paper and
buildings.
Should local communities work harder to look after the green areas that remain.
