Maybe the caravaneers wanted a view of the river ?

Pardon my brevity, other words fail me completeley.

WTF!? Nesting season as well! We sure it's the EA?

 

[Rhys Perry]

Where's that thread someone put up about reporting this sort of thing?

Yes, it was the caravan site that wanted it cleared. I just hope they planted the bare ground, or else all the top soil will be washed away with the next floods.
I've posted this up for a friend who is not with this group. Maybe some other Severn anglers who fish Coalport will know about this mess.

 

[Rhys Perry]

So the EA cleared it for the caravan site? Looks like they're expanding on the right, cleared a fair area.
Any idea when this was done Chris?

 

[Mike Hodgkiss]

If the EA did this its appalling vandalism

 

[Richard Isaacs]

Absolutely destroyed that! Criminal

 

[Paul Whiteing]

It's downright irresponsible

 

[Andrew Burt]

Just bumped it up as it had returned to the list. I need to get this added in ASAP as I'm putting it all together now as I'm looking at it with Stuart Singleton White the AT Campaign Manager. It looks horrendous vandalism.

 

[Tom Mycroft]

Unbelievable

 

[Phil Heaton]

It will be a lot easier now to launch the inflatable boats and for the parents (not) to keep an eye on their kids playing in the river.

 

[Terry Harman]

absolute disgrace

 

[Bill Walford]

An absolutely sickening site. Someone’s head should be on the block for that.

 

[Steve Lewis]

I'm not at all familiar with the river, but words fail me all the same.

THIS (and the water pollution business) is the sort of stuff anglers should be making a very public song and dance about, not...y'know, the other thing...

 

[Joe Winstanley]

I could understand some nervousness about having those large poplars ( I believe they are poplars) next to a caravan site, but why not just pollard them?, safe as houses then. And why touch the smaller trees on the waters edge, and remove all the deadwood and vegetation? What is the thinking? It smacks of obsessive over-tidiness which is the scourge of much of the British countryside.

 

[Rob Paylor]

Any tickets available for the left bank? Looks well easy to bivvy up and fish now!

(On a serious note, that is horrendous )
