slow worms

[nightshade]

Hello Geanie, it sounds wrong to me to, have you contacted your local wildlife trust so that the may be able to move the animals if necessary?
Obviously I do not know the ins and outs of the housing associations descision but have you tried to get a stay of execution,in the current economic climate, a plea may be all they need not to spend the money

Geanie,

I've just read your post and I'm so sorry, you must be devestated! To have enjoyed all of the wildlife that you have in your garden and then to be told that you are to lose it all is just awful. I wish I could think of something to say that could help, but I can't. I just feel so sad about what's happened to you.

Fully agree with Tracey- deepest sympathies- I'd be totally devasted too in your position!
