This is a aerial video of the Lea Valley in England. This land was farmed by the Catuvellauni tribe for a thousand years before the Romans invaded the British Isles, and is considered an area of outstanding natural beauty. The Valley feeds into the Lea River which provides a home to rare water birds and is a conservation area. The River Lea is a rare Chalk River, so rare that is is one of only 200 on the planet! This stunning River Valley is now under threat by the Hertfordshire Conservative County Council who want to terrace the hillside, concrete it over and build a School for 2000 pupils on it, even though there are other brownfield sites available, Local people suspect that this is due to corruption! This will destroy this beautiful place for generations to come and annihilate the habitat of some of England's most important wildlife. Please help us in fighting this, wherever you are on Planet Earth. Please Email the Hertfordshire member of parliament Pete Lilley who is is supporting this at: feedback@peterlilley.co.uk and tell him that you support the people of the Lea Valley in their fight for an inquiry to help stop the destruction of this stunning area. Thanks.
