I was on the common thursday of this week I had walked from the top car park down Near poolands when I saw a landrover enter the commom via the large gate.I followed the landrover along the sandy path just outside the lower forest,he drove up the sandy bank towards the top of the common. He then drove along the top path round the fir tree plantation the up the path towards the main car park.I then saw him when he was heading back BY THIS TIME HE HAD BEEN DRIVING ROUND THE COMMON FOR 20 MINUTES LOOKING FOR THEM.
The driver of the van stopped and asked if I had seen the cattle and I told him no.

I ASKED HIM WHY HE WAS DRIVING ROUND AND NOT WALKING AS HE HAD TWO TERRIERS IN THE LANDROVER WITH HIM.HIS ANSWER WAS THAT HIS TWO DOGS DIDN'T LIKE CATTLE!!!!!
I ALSO ASKED HIM HOW MANY MORE WERE COMING AND HE SAID HE IS ALLOWED TO PUT UPTO 30 CATTLE ON THE SITE.
THIS IS THE THE FARMER WHO THE CATTLE BELONGS TO HIS NAME IS ADRIAN WHAT CHANCE DO WE STAND HIS DOG SEE'S CATTLE EVERY DAY BUT STILL NOT USE OF CATTLE.

THE MAIN THING THAT I WAS VERY UPSET ABOUT WAS THE DAMAGE THAT WAS BEING CAUSED BY THE LANDROVER.
AS HE WAS DRIVING UP THE SANDY BANK HE HAD GONE UP THE SIDES OF THE PATH LOTS OF HEATHER HAD BEEN SQUASHED LOTS OF THE HAD SOIL WAS FALLEN DOWN AND IT WAS A MESS.iF YOU HAVE A GOOD LOOK YOU CAN SEE LANDROVER TRAILS ALL OVER NOW.FOR GOD SAKE JUST THINK OF THE DAMAGE THAT IS BEING DONE JUST BY THIS MAN WATCHING HIS CATTLE.

AT THIS A HORSE RIDER CAME ALONG AND SAID SHE HAD SEEN THE CATTLE SO HE HEADED OFF IN HIS LANDROVER ONCE AGAIN.

HE TOLD ME HE IS GOING UP THERE TWICE A DAY AT THE MOMENT SO THAT MEANS HE COULD BE DRIVING ROUND THE COMMON TOTALLY DISTROYING THE PATHWAYS AND ALL IN HIS PATH FOR TWO HOURS A DAY.hE IS ALLOWED A KEY TO OPEN A BIG WOODEN GATE,SO THIS MEANS HE HAS GOT ILLEGAL GRAZING FOR HIS CATTLE AND CAN DRIVE ROUND THE COMMON WHEN EVER HE LIKES.

SURLY THIS IS NOT RIGHT CAN I HAVE A KEY FOR DAYS I FEEL ILL BUT STILL WANT TO WALK MY DOGS,MORE TO THE POINT WHY CAN'T THEY ISSUE THE DISABLED A KEY SO THEY CAN GAIN ACCEESS,NOT VERY ADVISABLE NOW THE CATTLE ARE THERE.!!!!!!!!!!


MYSELF I AM NERVOUS OF THE CATTLE AND JUST HOPE WE CAN GET RID OF THE THING BEFORE AN INNOCENT PERSON GETS HURT!!!!!!!!!!!
