BATS THE WAY: Anti-Ulez Activists Cover Cameras With Bat Boxes
Campaigners against London mayor Sadiq Khan’s ULEZ charge are hanging bat boxes on camera posts to stop engineers repairing them.
Activists have vandalised scores of cameras since Mr Khan's expansion of the ultra-low emission zone last year.
And now the £10 National Trust bat homes have been seen in areas across south and south-west London, including North Cheam, Chessington and Kingston-upon-Thames.
Bats are protected by law and it is a criminal offence to disturb their resting places and breeding sites. The newly installed boxes are accompanied by notices reading 'Stop. This is a bat box'. Under a heading 'Bats and the Law' is a list of criminal offences against bats.

Shame these same narrow minded criminals don't understand that making the air cleaner is far more important than ignorantly driving around polluting the air. Yes the bat box is great, we need to look after bats, however without fast tracking to decarbonising this country and the world alike, then no amount of bat boxes will make a difference. There is no planet B

@@dantapaws8395 People can't live off green ideals or dogma. People need their vehicles to work, and to get around so they can pay their bills. Many people need transport, so they and their kids if they have them, can have a future! You can be green and also run a car! So don't pretend it's about green options or green initiatives, it's all about control, removing freedoms, money and stopping people having a free life where they forge their own path. People do not want universal basic income or communism. Well I don't! So if you think your life matters on these comments' boards, vote out those who think it clearly does not!

@@Notagain640 That's clearly not what ULEZ is for lol, there are plenty of independent air tests that have shown very safe levels of air quality on London streets vs on the Tube for example. Plus basic maths and Science will tell you that making cars travel more slowly (for longer) or making them take detours thanks to zoning will only increase pollution. This is a straight up money making scam from Sadiq Kahn…if you look into it you'll see it too.
Smarter than your average "criminal" . Bravo
I can confirm I've seen hundreds of bats use a single box in a single day.

Why the House of Lords? If anything the HoL have actually been a saving grace, because they rightfully keep stopping the vile, evil, f4scist Rweanda Bill, and also keep stopping the f4scist Tories from banning certain types of protesters/protests. I think you mean the Houses of Parliament not the Lords

putting bat boxes up, in an area of artificial lighting like where this one is, causes more harm than good to bats, as they way well not emerge to hunt insects, if they still think its day time due to the artificial lighting.

I avoided the ulez then drove down half a mile of road that had a tiny red sign warning of ulez. On a roundabout so the chances of being able to read the small print are impossible. Got fined £80 robbing ... It's not as if it's even a reasonable fine like parking charge it's just daylight robbery

If some bats occupy a roost for only a short amount of time then I think it’s best to put more of these boxes up to ensure the bats have plenty of places to stay

Remember if the boxes are then occupied by bats then they are protected creatures and CANNOT be disturbed. It is a criminal offence.
