May contain newts
Cheshire County Council is calling for a review of EU legislation after being forced to spend £60,000 to move four newts from a school development site.
Great crested newts are an endangered species and are protected by EU law.
When four were found on land at Fallibroome High School, Macclesfield, they had to be trapped, moved and have a new pond built to house them.
