smashed shrubs
The demolition of housing in Kents Hill, Milton Keynes, England that was not much more than 10 years old. That this was done is a shame because the buildings could have been renovated and used as council housing or shared ownership for people getting on the property ladder. Instead, Milton Keynes Council thought it would be best to allow a developer to come in and destroy the houses and not even require that the materials be salvaged so as not to be so wasteful.
In addition, much of the greenery - shrubs, plants and trees were torn up, dumped on and ruined at exactly the time of year when birds and other wildlife are nesting and trying to raise young. Their homes would have also been blighted in this process.
Seeing this made us angry. We didn't know what else to do except get photos and document it.
Shame on the Council, the developers and English Partnerships, all of whom were complicit in allowing this to happen. In the name of Greed.
