Pricey Lee,
Might I provide my formal congratulations in your election as an MP. I’m not simply being well mannered, I delivered a lot of leaflets to your marketing campaign and I’m a Labour Celebration member. Now we have met briefly – I used to be one of many small group of Labour supporters who met you in Raunds library on the time of that spate of burglaries in Raunds (and thanks to your assist and help with that matter).
I’m a founder and co-director of a campaigning group known as Wild Justice and because the registered workplace is my dwelling then we’re primarily based in your constituency. My fellow administrators are Chris Packham and Ruth Tingay. Right here is our web site wildjustice.org.uk.
Wild Justice has revealed a report, utilizing knowledge collected by authorities businesses, however ignored by the earlier authorities, which exhibits that the extent of toxic chemical substances present in two birds of prey, Buzzards and Crimson Kites, have soared despite the fact that a authorities endorsed scheme launched in 2016, the Rodenticide Stewardship Scheme, aimed to cut back their publicity. The chemical substances are rodenticides (in widespread English, rat poisons) and so they get into birds of prey and different wildlife by way of poisoned rats or by way of unlawful use of those poisons, largely by gamekeepers, targetted at protected birds of prey.
Right here is the report;
I write now merely to ask you to write down to Defra on my behalf and ask the related minister (I can’t work out who it will be – I might guess Emma Hardy) what motion the brand new authorities will take. I want to see the comfort of circumstances of use of brodifacoum be reversed in order that it might probably solely legally be used inside buildings and not outside, and I’d prefer to see a clamp down on unlawful use of such chemical substances. It’s also the job of presidency to gather and analyse knowledge equivalent to these in our report however then to behave on the science. It’s ridiculous that underneath the Tories so many of those public features of presidency fell into disrepair and that our tiny organisation is blowing the whistle on this downside.
You’ll be acquainted with the Crimson Kite, it’s tough to spend a day on this constituency with out seeing them hovering overhead and as you could know, these birds have been reintroduced to Northants after an absence of over 150 years, by conservationists. The emblem of the North Northants unitary authority options (on account of a public vote) a Crimson Kite and so this is a matter of nice native significance.
