That is because it was designed by engineers at HS2, rather than ecologists. Please stop using this example and throwing out years of good practice and using this as an excuse

The Guardian. Britain’s net zero economy is booming, CBI says. Green sector growing at triple the rate of the UK economy, providing high-wage jobs and increasing energy security.

Net zero now makes up nearly 5% of the Scottish economy, providing over 100,000 full-time jobs.

While the UK economy sits stagnant, net zero has grown by over 20% in Scotland since 2022.

It's not just environmentally necessary, it represents a huge economic opportunity.

Attending the launch of the #naturenorth strategy today was both an inspirational call to action to invest in nature and deliver the strategy, but also a delight to reconnect in person with so many people I have worked with over the last 18years @naturenorthwest.bsky.social

I attended a meeting of the South Yorkshire Bat Group tonight to discuss our response to the Planning Refor Paper on Development & Nature Recovey. I was explaining to my girls that the government says economic growth is being slowed by slow development because of bats & newts. They were sceptical.

A new year and trying out this new social media platform as some others have become less nice places to have positive connections with other human beings who also want to make the world a better place by focusing on nature, the environment and people's quality of life. Connect and say hi πŸ’š
