Require all new homes to include a swift brick

What the petition asks
Mandate that all new homes are built with one nesting brick which in short is a hollow brick with an entrance hole. Swifts are suffering from a lack of nesting, and we believe this would give them thousands of nests with the Government planning to build so much new housing.
We think this could help the protection of a much loved bird at little cost to the government or builders - one brick is replaced that's all one brick.
