[Closed] SSI Protected River Lugg bulldozed/sanitised.

Police and other agencies have had to intervene. Apparently the land owner (not named) was fully aware of its SSI status before bringing the bulldozers in... "The bank-side trees are all grubbed out and burnt, the river gravels have been scraped away, and the beautiful meanders of the river have been straightened and re-profiled," Chief Executive Helen Stace said.

The way to reduce flooding is to plant trees

Yeeesss. Sort of. But in a very artificial watershed like a lot of ours are, it doesn't always work. It should do, but artificial-ised rivers can be really delicate so a smart change in one place can screw up the stupid stuff elsewhere.
