The Plans Are Already Drawn Up!

We've been told not to worry about the councils plan, its early days, nothing will happen without public consultation etc, etc.

Imagine our surprize to find, following a freedom of information request, that the Countryside Council for Wales (CCW) have already drawn up plans showing areas to be fenced, location of gates and details for livestock grazing!

The plans are dated 30th April 2009, we've love to post them on this site but the CCW have told us the information is covered by copyright law so we aren't allowed to post on the Internet!

So, if you would like to see the plans you'll have to write to them using our friend the freedom of information request, typical letter below, just add your address.
