Despite receiving more than 1,200 objections to its plans the London Borough of Hillingdon still appears intent on creating a large watersports centre on the Broadwater Lake Site of Special Scientific Interest. The lake is part of the Colne Valley wetland system which extends into Hertfordshire and is nationally important for wintering wildfowl.  

Hertfordshire and Middlesex Wildlife Trust have published an update with the latest developments and a further plea for wildlife enthusiast to register their objections.
