In July we were able to hold the launch event planned
for the previous
year, but postponed
due to Covid restrictions.
After a picnic lunch we
introduced
those present (some 25)to some ofthe wildlife on the
Common
and the management
work undertaken
and talked about the
organisation
ofthe Trust.
We have prepared a leaflet about the Common
and put up posters at
all
the entrances
welcoming
walkers and indicating
how they can contribute
to the care of the Common. The Common has continued
to be widely
used by locals and those from further afield. This has not been without its
problems
(litter, burnt area, quad bikes, etc.), but most users are
generally
respectful.
The trust received some welcome
publicity
in the local press when a
bench was donated
and installed to thank the Lord ofthe Manor for his
gift ofthe Common to the Trust.
We believe that in all our activities we have complied
with the duty
in
section 4 ofthe 2006 Act to have due regard to guidance
