I often use the phrase - on a scale of one to ten and one being a Tsunami and am reflecting on how lucky i am.
I mean it could be worse right, i could have been drenched, had my home flooded, and trees uprooted around my home. Worse i could find that my home has disappeared.
That is how the foxes and birds feel at the moment.
They have had a 'tsunami' hit their home.
Bruntwood have acquired the Kellogs site on Talbot road and are planning to build houses. Now normally i am all for homes to be built.
But this site is now the Academy University. Great Students studying....
but why uproot the treeline, the hedgegrow and the wildlife area that has been in evidence since 30 years - yes 30 years since Kellogs have had that building and in the space of 2 years - Bruntwood has stripped out the trees and the hedgerows and the wildlife is in uproar. The birds and bees have no where to roost, graze and worse when i am stood on the platform at Old Trafford i am now looking at a glass and brick building whereas before i was looking at trees, watching leaves bud, flowers grow - a great start to any morning.
Now I can look forward to a scene reminiscent of town... brick glass, chrome and worse - a 40 ft advertising board and more light pollution... did i not mention that? oh yeah, i didn't because the economists who want me to put in a smart meter seem to ignore the wasted energy of lights on ALL night and the effect on nature. I mean trees grow right. tell that to my houseplants.
thanks
