Local Wildlife Site Review Consultation

Representation ID: 832

Received: 31/10/2007

Respondent: Mr & Mrs Buffett

Representation Summary:

I am a resident of Canewdon, I live opposite Finches.

This is a very special place to me and a lot of other people. Not only for it's peacefulness, but for the wildlife contained. There seems such a diversity of plant, animals habitat for such a small area. The glow worms are of particular interest to people in the village (my sons enjoy counting them and sending a report via e mail to some web site) and feel very proud we have them on our doorstep. Not a common sight, in such numbers as we have (long may it continue and grow, or do I mean glow!).

Anyway I am not sure of the implications of any change in status, but I do know that it is something we should hold very dear within this district and have as tight restrictions and security for its future as possible. May I add that the wildlife trust do a splendid job of maintaining it, the paths are almost always acessable.
