LETTER: '˜Bunker' not sole cause of landslips

SEG (Save Ecclesbourne Glen) would like to point out that it has never believed nor stated that the construction of the bunker has been the cause of the landslips in the area. SEG believe that various unauthorised developments on the lower slopes such as car parks, roads, terracing, tree felling and installation of eight unauthorised caravans have contributed to changes in drainage patterns which have been a factor in causing the landslip.
Ugly and intrusive as the bunker is, it is just one of many developments at Rocklands that have contributed to the destruction of the natural environment and visual amenity of the area.
