THE Lib Dems in Ely are calling for Roswell Pits to be made into a publicly-owned wildlife nature reserve.

They are calling on the district council and the RSPB to do all in their powers to secure the site for this public good, and prevent it from commercial development.

Local people are outraged at the works currently being carried out at the Pits and at the lack of consultation about the plans for the site.

Ely Lib Dems are very concerned about possible damage to wildlife at this beautiful area of Ely, and are calling on the district council and the RSPB to protect the site and its wildlife.

The Lib Dems have started a petition for the site to be preserved as a nature reserve.

Anyone with access to a ­computer can sign the petition online at www.elylibdems.org.uk or paper copies of the petition are available from Cllr Simon ­Higginson on 01353 665882 or

8 Deacons Lane in Ely.
