Spurn

On 26th January East Yorkshire council approved the new Yorkshire Wildlife Trust visitor centre at Spurn. To say I feel annoyed or disappointed would be a huge understatement. Furious comes closer. But its done and there's not a lot I, personally, can do. It does raise a number of very interesting questions. Some would probably get me in trouble if I posted them, so I won't.

I still cannot believe that YWT have pursued this option, and that EYC have approved it despite, in my opinion, obvious conflicts with their own planning policies, and after rejecting an almost identical plan just a few months ago.

Thats enough whingeing. I'm just getting angry again.

I know a number of existing YWT members have now cancelled their membership of YWT. If thats you, can I suggest you now join Friends of Spurn? Its a lot cheaper and they will re-invest your money in habitat creation and management and providing facilities through the superb new Observatory building (developed in an existing property I should add). You get access to member only areas, and you get the top quality annual report free of charge. There's no down side. In fact even if you don't cancel your YWT membership, why not join Friends of Spurn as well anyway?
