I have, today had an extremely helpful and constructive conversation with Deborah Davies at Leisure Services.
Firstly, she highlighted that in respect of the works carried out at the above sites, there had been a lengthy consultation process, prior to agreeing the management plan, which contained this work.
Secondly, she mentioned that our ranger, Mark checked both sites in order to consider any conservation issues, prior to the commencement of work at the two sites.
Having given time for views and consultation to take place, Deborah feels frustrated that as soon as work has commenced on the agreed Management Plan, it has been met with protests AFTER the event.
I was allowed to put my points forward and upon considering what I said, Deborah is arranging a meeting, when Ian Nicholls returns to work, to allow for information sharing and to discuss the way forward.
In the mean-time she has also assured that there will be no further work conducted, until the meeting takes place. She is sending me details of the full management plan, and I will provide a summary of this on the blog.
I will keep you all posted as to developments.
Thank you
P.S. The blog had traffic approaching the 100 mark yesterday, so thank you to all those who are showing interest and spreading the word!!! Well done!!
