to intervene after the local planning authority
had granted planning permission for the
development. Many other S.S.S.I.s are at
risk. We can help save them if enough people
show they care.

ARE YOUR PEANUTS SAFE?
During the recent cold spell I expect many of
you, like us, started to put out peanuts for
the birds. But how do you know if they are
safe and not killing the very birds you are
trying to help.
I recently contacted the R.S.P.B. Headquarters
and they passed me on to their suppliers, C. J.
Wildbird Foods Ltd. This was most interesting
and provided a satisfactory answer.
Aflatoxin is a naturally occurring toxin found
in all peanuts. A safe level for birds if now
agreed to be 10 parts per billion. Fifty
