Adam's Mill, bankside clearance

[Chris Guy]

by land agents apparently. It looks as if there wasn't any consultation with MKAA

 

[Alan Palmer]

It’s horrendous destruction of a natural habitat for so many species; it will all grow back but in the meantime leaves the resident wildlife very vulnerable. Was there any reasoning for it?

No idea. I've asked if there was any consultation with MKAA, but not had a response

Flood defence I would suggest.

That doesn’t make sense to me….Adams is on a large flood plain with no housing nearby …if anything this would increase water flow into Newport pagnell at an even faster rate rather than facing the trees help restrict flow

 

[Damian Kimmins]

And what about upstream?

Again no housing for a good 3.5 miles until you get to Haversham weir

 

[Damian Kimmins]

Let's face it, Alan, irrespective of it's merit, we all know that's what they'll say?
I have to say I wasn't trying to justify, I think looking at the images we may be equally despondent.

Horrendous butchery

I’m not familiar with the river, but if this involves mass tree felling/removal then contact the Forestry Commission and ask them to check if a felling license was granted bythem?

Same thing happened on my local River Dane and they were all over it, eventually issuing the farmer with a legally enforceable tree restocking order!
