I presume as it is common land then, we can all graze cattle if we so desire,Would anybody object to me putting 45 head of cattle on there ? surely it is illegal to fence other people's property so you would assume worc county council has committed an illegal act by doing so.
My family and I have used the common for thirty years and it has survived so far without this present management and my view is that they should leave the trees alone now.
I had tO laugh this morning when entering the common by Chadwick lane gate, a notice warned horse riders to only go on the designated paths in order to protect the fragile habitat, I assume some council clown will inform the cattle of this fact!
