Show Notes
The Royal County of Berkshire Polo Club is under fire for contaminating a protected green belt area with half a million cubic meters of waste since 2013. The project, aimed at creating more polo pitches, has been plagued with issues, including flood risks, threats to ancient oaks, and potential contamination for neighboring areas. The club has been ordered to remove the waste, but has yet to do so, citing a busted contractor and a surprise gas main as the cause of the delay. The project has also been criticized for its impact on local roads and the lack of promise to haul off the mess. The club has proposed new plans, including a wetland habitat, but the controversy continues to grow.
