Three Times Ignored By Ecological Warriors of Bristol City Council and the Mayor so... Update 13 03 2024

I have to report that while the City Mayor and council are trying to snatch up green spaces and allowing or instructing its contractors to carry out environmental damage, neither has had the time to respond to four emails and thus reveal themselves to not be interested in the environment.

It seems contractor money and wildlife habitat destruction is how Mr Rees and the current Labour council will be remembered. Greed over rides financial rewards.

Hello.

I contacted your office re the above in January and at the beginning of this month since Bristol City Council is allegedly taking a lead in environment problems and that large mammals, a vital part of the ecosystem of the City, are dying at an alarming rate on our roads would, I thought, have been a matter at least worthy of a polite response rather than simple automatic "message received" emails.

We are having badgers -a protected species as well as otters, a protected species, and foxes which even the British Trust for Ornithology believe should now be Red Listed dying daily. Three otters since January, 4 badgers and 44 foxes. 

I would at least expect a considered reply to my original email and as a voter surely my elected representatives should respond?  Bristol City Council has bragged about its ecological stance and in this matter it could make a difference but it seems totally disinterested.

Would you please consider what I wrote and respond along with any thoughts on t6he matter of over and under passes for wildlife on our roads?

Signed

Terry Hooper-Scharf
