Come on @CALAHOMES, another Herts planning application in St Albans, where you are ignoring your own Urban Wildlife Strategy by proposing an unspecified number of pretty useless Sparrow Terraces instead of the promised one Swift brick per house? You can do better! #hertsbirds

The ongoing draw-down of water at Brent Reservoir has created excellent new feeding opportunities for the local wildlife.

🚨Our most important places for nature shouldn't be threatened.
⚠️Hillingdon Council’s proposal for a Water Sports Centre risks the very future of the wildlife which depends on #BroadwaterLake.
🛑This is so clearly the wrong place for this development.
