Swift crimes and Nest 1.

[Banstead Swifts]

Dear all

We received an email from the Surrey Police review officer last night telling us that the wildlife officer had not even looked at her report from Saturday. We reported the incident on 14/05. She apologised and has now marked it as urgent and has also emailed. She is not the problem.

Incidentally, we'd had a wildlife officer from another police force contact us confidentially prior to the 14th advising us to report the incident urgently.  So it is curious that Surrey are dragging their feet if this officer felt it so worthy.

We will still be pushing for the Police and CPS to prosecute regardless of the fact that both birds have now returned, after 3 and 4 days of being absent. 

 If they do not, we will ask for the written reasons and take further legal advice from the organisation that offered us this and see what the options are. 

Our MP is arranging to meet with the Chief Supt of Surrey Police and is requesting the building surveys from RHT, which should have been carried out prior any such works. 

Barry and I have experience in campaigning and of taking a case to the High Court for judicial review, with a large NGO representing me.  

It was at least good to see that Clarion Housing responded quickly to Burgess Hill Swifts, but it still begs the question: where was the building survey?  

Best regards

[Ann Dowling]

So well done, best of luck
