The Lincolnshire County Council Leader has voiced concerns about unforeseen charges linked to bat conservation in relation to the construction of the Lincoln Eastern Bypass. The project, designed to mitigate traffic bottlenecks in Lincoln, has run into additional costs given the obligatory protection of local bat communities under environmental laws. The council leader underlined that though preserving the environment is crucial, unexpected financial strains to taxpayers are unfair. Thorough discussions are underway to devise a solution that harmoniously caters to both infrastructure development and wildlife conservation.
