Land by the River Beane (diggers, etc)

Just wondered if anyone knows what is going on...??[img] http://digilander.libero.it/le.faccine/faccinea/lavoro_scuola/00028012.gif[/img] I am hoping that it is a conservation project rather than a commercial one. I'm sorry if this has been discussed previously, but I couldn't find another up-to-date topic on it. *J*[img]http://www.smilies-and-more.de/pics/smilies/nature/042.gif[/img]

They're building a lake, the temporary road is to stop the diggers churning up the field

I was going to say I think they are building a lake. Not a bad idea and I guess it will be used for fishing.

There was an article in the Murky last week - it's to stop flooding in Port Vale and Molewood Rd, with the added benefit of encouraging biodiversity.

Thanks for the update! (phew.. thought it may have been a sneaky plan to put in a car park or some other nasty!) Only a few weeks back, there was a couple of black cattle grazing on that land. It was nice to see livestock there again. *J*[IMG]http://www.millan.net/minimations/smileys/brownhair.gif[/IMG]

I saw those cattle on Saturday. They must have been quite young or a small breed as they didn't seem to be very big.

I think they might be Dexters, Ray. They are little and popular with smallholders. I agree it's good to see livestock in there again.
