Lovely Waterlooville

A blog about lovely Waterlooville, a small, environmentally damaged town in Hampshire, UK. Waterlooville was founded after the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, as troops from that conflict returned home and passed through Hampshire. Having grown from a small village to a suburban sprawl, Waterlooville faces serious environmental challenges today and in the future.

Government gets an environmental Red card

The Environmental Audit Committee has heavily criticised the government on it's environmental record. In response the government strongly disagreed with the findings.

I commented here in 2010, pointing out that far from being the greenest, it's record was already going distinctly brown:

It didn't get any better later:
