Bats Could Halt Expressway

More local news from in and around the South Hampshire area from Dibben and Dibben as the construction of a £20m high-speed bus service in Hampshire could be halted if a High Court action is successful. A judicial review has started into plans by Hampshire County Council to build a Fareham to Gosport expressway.

The case has been brought by a resident who says the scheme to convert the disused railway is legally flawed. The court was told a small colony of bats living in a house close to the site crosses the railway line to reach a feeding area in a nearby wood. Damaging a bat colony is an offence under European law and the court must decide whether an assessment is necessary before work can continue.
