Make 'netting' hedgerows to prevent birds from nesting a criminal offence.
They need all the help we can give them given the awful decline in the number of birds over the years. Thank you.

Maydup ,Bacton was built in the 1960's and was quite a way further inland than it is now. People who live along the coast are losing their homes and businesses now due to coastal erosion.The sea has to be held back.Do you really want to see the beautiful Norfolk Broads flooded with sea water ?
Because that's what could happen if the sea is not held back at Horsey Gap.Seawater would destroy the villages of Eccles, Sea Palling, Waxham, Horsey, Hickling and Potter Heigham along with five fresh water lakes because that's one of the ideas being floated by this useless government and will just destroy more of the environment and wild life instead of spending money on very much needed sea defences round this bit of the coast where I live.

I agree in part Shaney, I live close to the river and the Norfolk Broads and I appreciate the beautiful county of ours.
But the Broads are not natural, nor are sea defences. In the very long term, we cant fight nature. We should stop building on flood plains and soft coastal areas otherwise we end up with concrete beaches, and who wants that?

Scroll down to see the map when Flegg was an island and Reedham on the coast. Nature will shape the coast line how ever hard we try to stop it.

I do see it from your point of view too Maydup and I don't want to fall out about it :)
Thing is back in the day we didn't know so much about climate change as we do now .The east coast floods back in the early 50's should have sounded a warning bell but they did nothing about it.
There's concern now about the little terns that nest on the beaches here and the fear that their nesting grounds could be washed away in the not so distant future.I wouldn't like to see that happen.
A couple of years ago people were wading along Lowestoft High St up to their knees in water after the storm surge.In this day and age this doesn't need to happen if proper solutions are put in place.
I lived in the Netherlands for some years.Another low lying coastal country.If they can claim large amounts of land back from the sea and still look after their environment then so can we but
successive governments have failed to do anything.
I bet if the sea was flooding down Whitehall they would soon pull their fingers out.That won't happen though,they've got the Thames barrier and all we've got are a few concrete blocks paid for by the locals.Too little,too late.
