Slow worms v houses

[honeybee]

Personally I think the Slow Worms shouldn't have to be moved. Relocation/translocation isn't such a simple way round things and doesn't always work favourably for the creatures.

Will there be any green spaces left when the government demands so many new houses to be built. There are lots of houses near me that stay empty for months/years on end. There are thousands in our cities that could be redeveloped/regenerated.The population is an ageing one rather than a growing one and we are having more migrants and more single people living on their own and we try to solve this by building more and more horrible unsustainable housing, draining resources further. Anyway I only wanted to mention the Slow Worms, sorry...!

It's disgusting. Even trying to relocate them does not solve the problem as there's no way they can guarantee that all have been moved to safety. How many will die ??

Exactly, they're there for a reason.
