The local woodland in my area (Wepre woods) may be having a skatepark built in it. Now it is a site of special scientific interest as it has a colony of Great Crested Newts plus countless other animals etc. The local kids tend to light fires and cause destruction as kids do, but with a skatepark there well i can only guess at the damage to the ecosystem. Now i'm not saying that all the local kids are destructive but it can only escalate matters.This woodland needs to be managed not turned into a skateboard park. There are plenty of other sites in the local area that would not encroach on the local wildlife. As i am trying to fight this i would like other peoples opinion on this matter so i can get an over all view of other peoples thoughts.
THANKS.

Contact your local wildlfie trust. The link below will help you find them. Get them involved.
Also Natural England should be consulted about any devlopment on a SSSI. Find your local officer and I'm sure they will be able to support you in protecting this site.
Good luck!
P.S. Great Crested Newts and their habitat are protected under the Wildlife & Countryside Act

Always a difficult one... Areas that are SSSI's have vast planning and monitoring schemes in place (normally 5 year plans).
If the area is linked to any form of national park, you have to remember that the task for the authority is primarily conserve the area' natural and cultural heritage as well as local biodiversity as well as promoting recreation within the area... Such process is highly influenced by sustainable development!!
Contact the local planning office... see if the skate park is actually possible as you may find the park does not fit into the area' plans and therefore won't go ahead - local plans and structure plans are public documents and can normally be found at a local library.

Get in contact with the local skateboarders/BMXers and get them on your side! Chances are, they would prefer to have it somewhere else too and since the park is supposedly for their benefit, I would have thought the council will take their opinions seriously (a little wishful thinking perhaps). If there's a skate shop in your town, go there and talk to the guys who work there, or ask the council who they are consulting on the design of the park and then go and talk to whoever that is.
Also, try contacting Groundwork Wrexham and Flintshire, who I think are working in your area. They have experience in both conservation and recreation sites. They may have some ideas that will help.

Usually any kind of development of a natural area kills wild life. Your only hope is to get the woodland declared a park or wildlife preserve or whatever. Otherwise it will eventually become a skate park or housing tract or strip mall. Maybe not this year, but within 100 years at the minimum.

Sorry Sir... i do not recognize a lot about Indian regulation yet right here i'm quoting area of record revealed in cases of India (Delhi/Chandigarh version dt. 12/6/10) "Sri Lankan cupboard minister for classic industries and small corporations Douglas Devananda can not declare amnesty less than Indo-Sri Lankan Peace Accord of 1987, experience criminal experts. . . . . . . . . once criminal courtroom cases are initiated with the submitting of a first information record and chargesheet is filed as in protecting with area 173(a million) of Code of criminal technique, then no bilateral or multilateral agreements between international locations might want to waive the criminal criminal duty of the guy said as an accused, stated V Kannadasan, particular public prosecutor for human rights courts."

It is called long term planning.
Allow a dubious site to develop.
Sit back a wait for a folder to fill up with complaints.
Offer a solution in the form of new private housing.
Enter the hidden developer.
Your Council listens to your wishes.
