Number Ten approves release of Natural England's Licence Data
Hi folks, Well, I know we've had a few false starts over all this, but I think I finally have some good news. I've just heard from Natural England that the wildlife licensing data for 2020, (including of course wild bird control licences), will be published by the end of this month. Natural England's Head of National Operational Projects and Complex Cases, David Slater, contacted me today and told me that "It has all been ready for a while but we have had to wait for number ten approval." (Yes folks, this has been right to the very top - I told you we were making an impact...) He said "I feel like I keep promising you this – but I am told it will be published by the end of this month." The fact that we have Number Ten approval for the release of the data is significant news, though as always we must wait and see the actual statistics. We need the full data, that's what this campaign is all about. Only through examining the complete data can we assess the licensing process and its impact on our wildlife. So, anyway I wanted to update you all, thanks as always for your continued and unflinching support, it really does encourage and inspire me. I'll let you know when I have a further update.

Yes, but how much will the figures have been massaged, redacted or fudges to look ok, especially if Pinocchio Johnson has anything to do with it,...... but well done for perseverance, and they know we're watching.....!

Once again Jason-well done-this is indeed fantastic news- not just the Government but no10( they really do control Natural England, don't they-and probably tell them what to say!!) saying that the Licence Data for 2020 can be made public.

I’m glad to hear that you’ve now got some more information on this matter. The time it has taken has been much too long for it to be of much help, but at least it’s with you.

It does seem ridiculous that No 10 has had to agree to this! This kind of information should be with the public as a matter oh routine!

This will be interesting, but I suspect not enlightening.They will, hopefully, give us what they have, subject to data protection redaction etc., but it may not be what we want.
