Wildlife campaigners in Newcastle have condemned a “huge blow” to the city’s green spaces caused by a string of new developments.
Frustrated activists have hit out at council bosses after seeing their concerns over an erosion of habitats batted aside last week.
Councillors approved plans last Friday for three projects that Save Newcastle Wildlife (SNW) warned would sever valuable wildlife corridors, prompting the group to raise “serious concerns about local democracy” and make a formal complaint against Newcastle City Council.
