We want Theresa May to protect Colne Valley nature reserves and wetlands (Green Lungs of London), as a Special Area of Conservation and London's Western Nature Reserve.
Why is this important?
HS2 is set to destroy some of the finest biodiversity in London and one of the finest outdoor assets, Denham Country Park. We stand to lose:
• Beautiful nature on our doorstep;
• Irreplaceable habitat (including Priority UK Biodiversity Habitat in wet woodlands);
• Glow worm, water vole, otter, dragonfly and many more mammals, bird, fish, amphibian, reptile, invertebrate and plant species;
• Natural flood mitigation protecting Uxbridge to Staines;
• Natural water and air cleansing;
• Outdoor pursuits;
• Peace and quiet.
