Wildlife habitat on Steart Peninsula near Bridgwater wins approval (From Bridgwater Mercury)

Unbelievable, All the things needed in Bridgwater and district and the Birds get £20 million plus Sedgemoor intend to waste even more money on the Meads project,
Think council leaders are so far out of touch with reality they should resign,

I don't think that there will be many people visiting this area as the roads will be gridlocked with EDF vehicles. Also, the constuction of the new power station will surely be a great disturbance to the wild life.
Perhaps in ten or fifteen years time.
20 Million would be better spent in supporting the local residents

Half of this is because the Bristol Port Authority are building a new container terminal and they are pinching and flooding Catsford Common to replace the wetlands they ruin up there. The second half is the Environment Agency who are going to flood all the flat farmland on the Parrett estuary to create a wonderful habitat for wildlife. It is already a wonderful habitat for wildlife! The other reason is to improve sea defenses ~ rubbish! Give the River Parrett a couple of decades after these projects are completed and the river will turn Steart Peninsular into an island. Talking of millions of pounds being wasted on plumped up projects it just goes side by side with the "millions of pounds of taxpayers’ money is still being paid to groups linked to Islamist extremism, more than a year after David Cameron vowed to outlaw the practice." Amongst other wastage. (Daily Telegraph) 09/03/2012

I suppose there'll be an influx of birds from Eastern Europe ?
