Margaret and Murray Shaw's Birdpark is a development over several acres and three lakes based in Glenview, Hamilton. Having taken a stand, Murray got a visit from council staff. Most people roll over when they get faced with this bullying, which is why council staff try it on. Council's own planning rules prevent a house from being built that close to a road, so surely a road cannot be built that close to a house. In the case of Murray Shaw's bird park, that number is over 11,000 people who have already signed their online petition.
