Everton FC Kirkby stadium: End near for water vole site
Oct 26 2009
Liverpool Daily Post
THE deadline is days away for a colony of 30 water voles to leave the site Everton wants for its 50,000- seater stadium.
They all have to leave before work can begin and Natural England and the Environment Agency say October 31 is the deadline for their eviction.
If any of the protected species remains behind, or sneaks back, the painstaking work the team of ecologists has carried out on the banks of Kirkby Brook for three months will, in part, have to begin again.
