I have been involved in saving Danes Moss for a number of years now and I feel very concerned about it's future regarding digging it up for housing etc as digging up peat will release Co2 into the atmosphere which is not green friendly as I thought you supported green friendly projects.

Also the disturbance it would cause to the wildlife there including the rare species such as the Willow Tit bird.

I am worried about the effect that the high increase of housing and whether it is really sustainable in the face of climate change and biodiversity loss.

I implore you not to let these destructive plans go ahead.
