The cost on newts - Money well spent?

http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/4003729.Newts_cost _Lancashire_taxpayers___165_000/

I think so!

(Gemma/Mod) I'm having trouble with the hyper link, Do you cut and paste the URL, and then confirm it, as it will not work for me though it has in the past)

ú165,000 is a mere drop in the ocean in the scale of things. You only have to read the amounts that are spent on half-baked schemes in education, NHS etc.

Spread over a number of places in Lancs the amount seems even more insignificant.

It would be nice to have a news story rather than the advice to float balls in iced ponds......

The Herp Workers Meeting was excellent by the way!

I think its good and topical advice for the wider audience that RAUK attracts.

One problem with the approach though....you may get frogs using the ball in ways you hadn't expected!
