We are the "Friends of Paradise", a local nature reserve in Cambridge, UK, and which is part of a green corridor that stretches all along the city's River Cam.

@FriendsOfPNR Appalling that Queens hired the most heavyweight barrister they could find to lead their appeal and bulldoze a victory against nature and the local community. Money won out but it’s shameful victory.

@AnnEtte82016400 Cambridge style: the river, cows, swans, ducks, bats, cow parsley is seen as special. So it’s sad Paradise’s fate could be decided by an inspector worried about getting shoes dirty at site inspection! Meanwhile Colleges promote their rural credentials! twitter.com/greenarteries/…

@CotonBusway Hustler tips. Photos of horses (King’s) mowing wildflower lawn & scything “wildlife haven” (Trinity) via @PA . Meanwhile Queens’ College propose to destroy Paradise LNR. Queens’ barrister at PI justified by describing the Cam wild space as “suburbia”. Like Grantchester & Backs?

Planning Inspector allows Queens' College Owlstone development impacting Cambridge's Paradise Nature Reserve and Newnham Croft State Primary School. The decision means the bat corridor trees can be felled. Details of the decision here. acp.planninginspectorate.gov.uk/ViewCase.aspx?…

The problem - not just for the university but also for developers and brands - is, you can't have a public-facing policy espousing green policies, AND an unrelenting growth agenda which requires the destruction of nature. People are gonna call you out. cambridgeindependent.co.uk/news/queen-s-c…

Last week, I put forward some of the reasons why I don’t believe a designated bathing area will do anything to clean up the Cam, but COULD lead to more swimmers getting sick, as the council has proven itself incapable of communicating the poor condition of the river to residents

Queens' College #Cambridge want to fell mature trees, three poplars and two healthy ash trees, in a protected open space next to #Paradise Nature Reserve - biodiverse bat conduit. “It was the tree officer’s choice to fell them.”

@MonicaHone @RobertTPollock @FriendsOfPNR @QueensCam @camcitco @PINSgov @TonyJuniper Yesterday attendees at Camb Market Sq stakeholders meeting heard from Cambridge Bid’s CEO about the ‘Destination Management Plan’ for ‘Visit Cambridge’. She said “this is ‘the vision that ‘we' want to portray for the city”. Paradise LNR Inquiry is relevant to this city vision.

@CambsClimate Losing Paradise & what makes Cambridge special. Would think world famous ‘rus in urbe’ style & Cam green spaces with their bats, swans, ducks, water voles, kingfishers & fish, would be key element of visitor destination management plan & city story, going out to tender this week.
