Farmer jailed and ordered to pay £1.2MILLION as builders to rip up trees along river
A farmer who hired diggers and builders to illegally rip up trees in a beauty spot has been jailed and ordered to pay £1.2million in restoration costs.
The cost of the damage to the River Lugg and the embankments amounts to £600,000, which he must repay in 12 months. “We want to ensure that Mr Price now takes the necessary actions which we hope, in time will restore this much-loved stretch of river to its former condition.” "The destruction of river banks is not appropriate flood management. It is important that the Judge recognised that the works significantly weakened flood prevention measures rather than improved them.
