Residents trying to protect a wildlife haven close to their homes were left outraged when JCBs began destroying pathways, ripping up earth, and devastating the habitats of hundreds of rare species. Villagers in Huncoat say developers and surveyors entered the former colliery site off Enfield Road last week, and began digging up the soil. The area has already been earmarked for a major development, which will see up to 1,685 homes built as part of Hyndburn Council s vision for a Huncoat Garden Village. But the plan sparked objections over its impact on roads and schools, as well as the survival of a butterfly haven which is home to 21 different varieties.
