Road, who live overlooking the brook in the village centre, attended the council meeting to express their concerns about the ongoing clearance of brambles along the banking. They were concerned that the natural habitat is being destroyed and that their view has been spoiled because they felt the area looked better before. They said the wildlife on that stretch was amazing and they did not want to lose it. They were also worried about the safety of children who can now climb over the wall into the brook It was pointed out to them that the work undertaken was under the direction of the Environ ment Agency and that instruc- tions had been strictly adhered to. It was felt that brambles had to be managed or they would disappear. • FOR More News from the Villages please turn to Page 10.
