Lest we forget - the destruction of Kitty's Wood in Ainsdale

 

Kitty's Wood was a natural area with legally protected wildlife. It was effectively the green lungs of the local community in George Drive, Ainsdale. 

Following an intense eco-campaign, Kitty's Wood was outrageously destroyed by developers to make way for congested ‘affordable’ housing. Labour Party members in Bootle voted decisively en masse to level the place and an ecological disaster occurred, as the old historical woodland was felled. 

Campaigners tried hard to save it, at significant personal expense, yet even though Sefton Council admitted in their 2017 report that the majority of trees would be lost the large, anti-woodland, Labour vote ultimately ensured that the wood was finally destroyed. 

Many of our politicians have little understanding about the native UK countryside and the vital balance that keeps it alive. With an imperial wave of the pen these grey-suited officials flatten precious ecosystems that have existed for decades.

Of course, when elections are close at hand, shrewd  politicians with limited understanding often play the 'I love the countryside' card to impress the gullible and gain more votes. The truth however remains firmly in the opposite! 

So much UK woodland is being destroyed today, with wildlife species being eradicated everywhere. Moreover, house prices may well decrease with more developments and loss of our precious wild green spaces.
