    I don't know. Where do some people go to school.
    How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

      Thanks - I did almost look it up to check, I was confident that I would soon be corrected if I was wrong.
      If there's one thing you can always be sure of on CUK its pedantry.
      I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

        Birds, bats, badgers and 1000 trees, tried the lot in stopping the council. 900 objections but if they want to build there nothing can really stop them.

        Our only option now is to try and make the land unmarketable due to the extensive mining that went on there. We have realised that you don't get anywhere if you follow the formal procedures.

        If anyone knows of anyone with a whale let me know.

          Reading the above after reading the posts about whales was quite surreal.

          Forget good environmental sabotage - seed the land with uranium.
          Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

              A bit of Japanese knotwood would be good too.
              The stuff is very invasive, grows like wildfire and can easily ruin foundations, so when they find it they'll have to cost in the excavation of a very deep, wide hole to ensure it's all been removed. might slow them down for a bit and give you time to find local fauna to inhabit the site.

                If it's a brown field site then the sugestion that there may have been asbestos on the site that was not adequately cleaned up would probably do the trick.

                Alternatively write the local paper complaining of extensive contamination with Di-Hydrogen Oxide, a chemical known to be found in cancerous cells, brain cells of Varient CJD patients and in the blood of victims of drug overdoses

                  Catch as many grey squirrels as you can and dye thier fur red.

                  Plant some fake archaeology on the site.

                  Bury a jerry can with petrol in it and pretend to strike oil.

                  Buy skeletons off the idiots on the apprentice and bury them.

                  Good luck.

                    The park we are trying to save is totally contaminated, they flattened an old foundry and stuck the heavy metal laden ashes in the mines underneath. The voids are about 50 foot high and have since flooded, so they are going to drain them into lagoons and fill them with topsoil. So for us contamination has not been a barrier.
