Any locals know more details on this?

It's a bit of an alarmist statement (although that's not to say we aren't staring into an ecological abyss!). It's part of a wider campaign for 30 x 30 - 30% of land for nature by 2030. A lot of LAs are quietly backing down from this for practical and legal reasons, but it's a good start - I don't think it has any specific legal strength and I don't think it's based on any specific Staffordshire crisis, but it's generating profile for the crisis. The only downside is that like LTA declarations, it's flypaper to the libertarian Tory/ Reform zealots who demand the right to a bleak, ecologically denuded future 

It's unlikely to gain any traction in Notts whilst 3 jobs is still leader of the County Council and god help us if he gets to be mayor

It’s bloomin cold up on them Moolands, almost Friesian.  

I think your Title Typo is going to be milked to death. 

Don’t be so udderly ridiculous. 

You’ll have to do better than that, I’ve herd them all before. 

Can not blame people for trying to milk it, maybe the council deserves a pat on the back. 

Unlike the other unkind Uckers here, I'm going to forgive your typo.
Not so sure about your link though, so badly written, very strange. I dairy say generated by some sort of AI thing.

  Yeah, I always pack a Jersey in my rucksack

That's jersified.  Poor eyesight but a really cheesy result.

Cheers toad... the article was so thin I just wondered if we need to be worried.

I think it might be whey off. 

Isn't AI how herds are made now...or is it just a load of bull?

I dont get it. Cud you explain it better pls. 

That’s old school.  Try a Buffalo. 

The BBC doesn't go into much detail and there are no suggestions of actual policies.

Any more update from the Mooland Cowncil ?

They've been accused of stalling, but I think the are ruminating on the issues raised.

I think you lot may be guilty of milking this typo too much now. It's becoming pretty low

That takes the brisket, time to halter this.  Cud our losses and moove on

I thought you were pasture best but that was a Beltie.

I wondered about adding to the bovine pun fun but don't want to come across as a teat

I have a growing feeling that something very bad is happening in my bit of the Moorlands.  I think there’s a catastrophic decline in ‘common’ frogs (we have no frogspawn in our ponds or any of the local ones I’ve checked, and not a single frog).  We have toads and newts breeding but zero frogs.  Similarly, I haven’t seen a hedgehog in over a year.

We have several local farmers with large manure piles in fields as far as possible away from their farms, plus a small livery yard, all on very waterlogged ground.  With the amount of rain we’ve had there is, unsurprisingly, a lot of obvious run-off.  On our side of the watershed.

Still, one the councillors mentioned in the particle is local to us, so I know who to talk to. 

I read a birdwatchers report from up near Winter Hill and they reported that ponds and puddles usually full of frog spawn have none this year.  

But people will keep churning out these puns till the cows come home, and meanwhile I saw a cow sitting down - it was ground beef*

*3 puns in one sentence. Amateurs

If it anything like our area the frogspawn appeared  early and I suspect that it may not have had a very successful hatch because of it.

Game On !

This is vealy easy. 

......churning out these CHEESY puns

6 puns

Piece of cake

Blame the rich climate vandals travelling everywhere by limousin

Drives me simmental.

It reads like a Brass Eye piece.

La vache rigole bien!
