It’s full speed ahead on transformation of Pier Gardens - but nature is the loser

                                                            

Uprooted. No future for this ornamental tree in Pier Gardens

WORK is now well underway on the clearance of lawns and shrubs in Pier Gardens to make the site more of a giant equipment-laden playground.

Sad to say, the activity is coinciding with the start of nesting season.

As a result, many birds - including robins, wrens, blue tits, house sparrows, goldfinches, blackbirds, pied wagtails and starlings - have suddenly lost a place where they always used to feed, roost and nest.

North East Lincolnshire Council believes that once completed, in spring next year, the scheme will be to the delight of residents and visitors like.                                                

                                          

Alas, precious songbird habitat is being lost to the chainsaw
 

Where once was a lawn is now a mountain of soil
