110 acres of land with a lake set to be auctioned 110 acres of heathland with planning permission for mineral extraction is set to be sold at public auction at the end of April

This land can't be used for any major development so hopefully @dorsetwildlife.bsky.social with support from #Defra #NaturalEngland, #Dorset Council & the MP for #MDNP @vikkislademp.bsky.social are able to buy it & protect its vital habitats & #Ecosystems.

UK Government Allocates Funds to Remove Illegal Waste Sites in Northern England The UK government has announced it will fund the removal of 48,000 tonnes of waste from illegal dumping sites in northern England, including locations in Wigan, Sheffield, and Lancashire. This decision follows criticism of a perceived north-south divide in addressing waste crime, as similar funding had previously been allocated to clear sites in Oxfordshire. The initiative is part of a broader plan by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) and the Environment Agency (EA) described as the 'toughest ever crackdown' on waste criminals. Measures include faster intelligence processing, quicker response times to reports, and public naming of offenders. A new drone squad equipped with lasers, thermal imaging, and cameras will assist in monitoring and gathering evidence of illegal dumping. Officials aim to intervene earlier at dump sites to prevent large-scale accumulation, using restriction orders to halt activity immediately. Additional measures include creating clean-up squads, conditional cautions for fly-tippers requiring up to 20 hours of unpaid work, and granting EA officers police-style powers for early intervention, asset seizure, and search operations. Experts warn that organized waste crime gangs view these efforts as minor obstacles, highlighting the challenges of enforcement. The House of Lords Environment Committee has called for careful monitoring of the EA's new measures to ensure they are effectively implemented.
