Grazing pens will cover 90% of nature reserve! Fri 25th Feb 2011, 01:37 PM Reported by: onthespot

Grazing pens will cover 90% of nature reserve! Sefton Coast and Country have started the preparations to turn the Ainsdale and Birkdale dunes into farmland, even though there is no scientific evidence that it will benefit the biodiversity of the SSSI. 90% will be fenced off in grazing pens. It will cost £100,000 for the fencing and £140,000 for an Environmental Impact Assessment. Can Sefton Council afford to spend money on schemes such as this when front line services are being cut?
