The proposed route of the Western Link is wholly unsuitable and will result in irreversible damage to a massive amount of delicate ecosystem. There has been considerable coverage of the decline of the countryside in this country, and the massive decline of native species and biodiversity, putting the countryside of this country in grave danger. The proposed route seems to disregard this entirely and appears to have been forced through almost as if it is to antagonise those of us who care about this. The mitigation proposed will not go anywhere near remedying the damage caused.
There are several alternative routes available, yet the council will not even look at these, preferring instead to try and destroy a vital habitat, as if they are trying to prove a point.
We are at a crossroads ecologically, and this road is yet another straw that will break the camel’s back.
This route must be rejected for the good of nature, the county and the people, and another, less damaging route be found.
