Hello
A plea in relation to a local environmental concern on the south side of Northampton...
My name is Brian Sumpton and I have been a RSPB volunteer for over 30 years.
I am currently working on wildlife issues for a group called stop rail central. I am sure many of your members will know about the proposals to site two massive Rail Freight Terminals near junctions 15 and 15A of the M1. If these go ahead almost 1,200 acres of farmland will be lost to wildlife. Whilst this area is not of major importance for birds it is classed as supporting habitat for the Upper Nene Valley Gravel Pits SPA. Notable birds include overwintering Golden Plover, (500+), Lapwings and Skylarks.
As a part of our fight to stop these proposals going ahead we have a petition that will go to the Secretary of State for Transport. Could I ask if your members would be prepared to sign a petition against this proposal at norailinterchange.co.uk
Andrea Leadsom our local MP and SoS for the Environment is supporting us.
Thank-you
Brian.
