Is the new planning bill a licence to destroy wildlife?

The government's flagship planning bill is designed to help it build the 1.5 million homes it promised by 2029.

Do you think it is reasonable that the Tour de France be a Category A sporting event so free to air in the UK? Because from next year it won’t be for the first time in decades and in 2027 the race even starts in Scotland and Yorkshire! Sign petition here:

Petition: Make the Tour de France a Category A event so it is free-to-air
Make the Tour de France a Category A event to ensure it remains free-to-air in the UK.

And the Government becoming beaver fans, whilst laudable in itself, cannot diminish the risks to nature within the current Bill, as the anti bat and newt rhetoric demonstrates. But look, beavers!

Was at the London Wetland Centre yesterday. Sand martin nests being rediscovered and worked on furiously by dozens of birds. Magical on so many levels

I love this pic. Says everything about these magnificent birds, their ideal habitat, the strength of the pair bond - wonderful!

Bit of a pity then that those of us who have been following it on terrestrial TV in the UK for decades will be denied seeing it, unless we are prepared to cough up twice the price of an annual licence fee from 2026!

..... and on this World Waterfowl Day, I'm spending time at the laptop writing about one of our most attractive diving duck species, the Common Pochard! Happy World Waterfowl Day to you all 🦆🦢 waterfowlday.org #worldwaterfowlday

Today is World Waterfowl Day. Celebrate the ducks, geese and swans that grace our planet. Their wetland habitats are under threat from damage, destruction and pollution and what harms these wonderful birds, ultimately harms us all. waterfowlday.org #worldwaterfowlday

Ducks, geese and swans are wonderful birds. Often overlooked or taken for granted, many are at risk as their wetland habitats are damaged, destroyed and polluted. They are waterfowl and finally they have an annual World Day to themselves! Find out more www.waterfowlday.org

London is a busy, built up place for sure, but within a few hundred yards of Fulham's football ground, this view worked for me today. @wwtworldwide.bsky.social London Wetland Centre

I offer a mute swan at the London Wetland Centre, appearing calm and collected, as an apt first post on this platform
