/ #449 Grazing?

Quite apart from all the other issues, why is the area considered suitable for grazing? Where's the grass? There's even less turf there now than there was 20 years ago when I started walking the common. The vandals at County Hall, etc would no doubt blame the walkers but this is a sandy area - unsuitable for anything but allowing nature to get on with it.
To a lesser extent, they've tried introducing a couple of cows at the Worcester Countryside Centre, in the interests of some obscure historical ideal. Money spent on fencing there, too. At least there's plenty of grass. Universities and colleges, where these people get brainwashed, have a lot to answer for.
