They’ve killed so much of it already. This country is a barren, near-lifeless wasteland of brutalist urban hell and soulless green concrete. What little beauty remains won’t last long.
The issue was lack of enforcement. Tinkering with the legal setup won’t help.
Kent is the fly tipping capital of the UK. Drive down any country road near Maidstone or Ashford and you’ll see mountains of dumped waste. The borough and county councils either can’t or won’t do anything about it, there’s not enough police to follow it up. But it’s ok because the council directors are all on at least £150k and are happy to take back handers off local housing developers.
