Weston Big Wood is irreplaceable ancient woodland & a protected SSSI . Yet plans could see around 500 homes built on Tower Farm and Black Rock , enclosing it on both sides . We should be protecting places like this , not building right up to their edges . c.org/8bV8Vy5Gm6

They want to tarmac a big field next to our local nature reserve (Portbury Wharf) to store cars. The docks are already surrounded by car storage and they want to destroy green belt for more. c.org/XsTPjccm89

Bottom trawling should be banned in all MPAs, I think Charles would agree on a personal level if he saw the destruction it causes. Good to have you pushing for this Jenny.
