The Hastings Enviromental Officer visits Speckled Wood

14th April 2014

Today this afternoon the Hastings Borough Council Environmental Officer visited Speckled Wood. He reported back to the Council that there was another sewer which was faulty .

This is the second Sewer failure in two days in Speckled Wood . The Trust Chairman stated that "this explains the failure of  the tadpoles that where laid in the stream to hatch. The PH of the water from the sewers was thought to be the reason for this failure. This thankfully only effects the lower section of the water course . "

This comes after the Trust warns of pollution from prospective new housing in Speckled Wood reaching the waterways of Alexandra Park. It is clear that the failing of these sewers make it difficult for anyone to see any viability of new houses using these Victoria  aged sewers.

The Chairman asked everyone not forget the Consultation to save Speckled Wood. Thrust have received 645 votes to remove Speckled Wood from the DMP to date. Please keep voting there is less than 8 days left. We will be in Priory Meadow on Saturday please come down and sign.

YOU CAN VOTE ON LINE HERE WE WILL DELIVER THIS TO THE FORWARD PLANNING DEPARTMENT FOR YOU:
