Part of the stretch done, got a horrible feeling he may get made a example of, especially as its national news, just unfortunate to coincide with a slow news day perhaps.

Do you get the feeling that s/he may have checked it out before doing it, and the EA etc are about to be made to look complete tits? Going to end badly for someone I'm sure. All conjecture. But you'd need a decent sized ballbag I'm sure.

Can’t exactly say it looks a mess, looks blooming tidy! Quickly plant a wild flower mix and that might satisfy the nay sayers..
@lloyd I hope he has big gahooneys but good luck to the fella

mind you if it was being done in the name of hs2 it'd be alright
Too true .. even got EA paperwork telling the DTI how to get around the rules concerning SSSI's
The rules are there for the plebs to follow and get prosecuted
3 years time it will look great. Mother Nature with a little bit of help, and it'll be grand.
It's like coppicing a hedge, looks brutal initally, then recovers quickly over a couple of years.

So why can HS2 go through mulitple SSSI's and flatten Grade 1 listed buildings ?
Looks to me as though the EA is all about control, they don't care about the environment otherwise they'd have stopped HS2 .. the same for River Authorities .. I even tried various "Wildlife" campaingers to help stop HS2 going through SSSI ..
No one was interested .. and I came to the conclusion that it's because their wage comes from the government.

It's on the start of this vid , the emotive language the autocue readers and other jobs worth use you would think someone had committed mass murder , looks close to the house at back so may be a private house with river frontage that has done it, a mile seems bit far for private house tho so we shall see ?

Won’t recognise it come next August, total load of bollcks, they should stick to put nuts in a bird feeder, that’s about all they’re good for an shaking a feckin donation tin!! My old man who’s dead an gone an his generation did more for the countryside an natural habitat, off they’re own back, unpaid, than these rule makers could even comprehend!! The whole countryside is totally mismanaged since these clowns somehow got given power to dictate to the rest of us how they think their green an pleasant land should be run!! Most of them are just sad lonely bored wet feckers with not enough real problems in their life!! Viva le revolution!!!!!!
All I’m thinking there is whoever did that can drive a swinger and I’d happily give them a job.
When they get parole.
He's sloped that well so his big farting methane cows can now have a drink out of the river as well.

I'm not certain there's much to this story, "west mercia police are supporting the EA in their investigation", sounds suspisiously like "we can't find anthing to pin on him yet, but give us enough time and I'm sure we'll find something".
I'd be amazed if the rules weren't very carefully considered, given the apparant scale and sensitivity of the site.

Cannot see anything really wrong in the last two pictures. They have obviously stuck to just one river bank, therefore wildlife remains on the other bank, I doubt whether they would even be over the tree felling limits given that most of whats been taken out is brash.
Single strand of barbed or electric will keep them out. Nice clean level line to fence up now, chuck some grass seed down ...way to go.He's sloped that well so his big farting methane cows can now have a drink out of the river as well.

The only problem increasing water flow in any given stretch of riverbed is that you simply create a flooding problem further downstream. The only real answer is not to build/live in a floodplain. Or if it’s an older house, put up with a once in 50 year flood event as the price you pay for living in a beautiful place.
sssi are there to prevent damage to rare or important habitats. Ignoring them should carry a bigger fine or custodial sentence, but then the same should apply to all antisocial behaviour like fly tipping etc. No one should be above the law, that way lays anarchy.

Twitter has some very “interesting” view points on this
Down stream needs to be cleaned / dredged as well, a joined up approach.
