The People’s Trust for Endangered Species has just issued a report, ‘The State of Britain’s Dormice’, which describes the rapid decline of the hazel dormouse in Britain and says that they are vulnerable to extinction. Newlands Corner is a known habitat for these shy, endearing creatures. SCC’s proposals will bring noise, habitat clearance and a 50% increase in vehicle emissions. Stopping SCC’s proposals will at least give the dormice a fighting chance.

It will be interesting to hear from Cllr Goodman, and Surrey County Council’s Planning and Environment Committee, ( together with the response from Surrey Wildlife Trust ) what they have to say in regard to this latest report by the People’s Trust for Endangered Species, regarding the endangered Hazel Dormouse.
And the fact that there IS a known ‘colony ‘ of Hazel Dormice at Newlands Corner ..?
Are SCC & SWT still committed to protecting the Hazel Dormice, and their Habitat at Newlands Corner ..?
