The hedgerow along the boundary between Solent Grange and New Lane in Milford on Sea is a vital part of our local ecosystem. As someone who has seen the beauty and significance of this natural barrier, I cannot bear the thought of it being stripped away by Regency Living. This hedgerow is not just an assembly of plants; it is a thriving habitat for a plethora of wildlife.

Birds, insects, and small mammals rely on this hedgerow as their sanctuary. It's a place where nests are built, food is found, and communities flourish. Moreover, the hedgerow plays a crucial role as a windbreak, protecting us from the fierce storms that roll in across the Solent. This natural buffer provides much-needed shelter during harsh weather conditions and preserves the unique character and beauty of our local environment.

The removal of this hedgerow would not only disrupt wildlife habitats but also increase the vulnerability of the area to weather extremes. Our community is enriched by the presence of this beautiful natural feature, and it contributes significantly to the biodiversity upon which we all thrive.

We respectfully urge Regency Living to reconsider their plans to remove this crucial hedgerow. By preserving it, we are taking a stand for our environment and the wildlife that call it home. Let us protect the beauty and diversity of Milford on Sea for generations to come.

Sign this petition to help us keep the New Lane hedgerow intact and ensure continued protection of our local wildlife and natural landscape.
