Not a productive meeting at all, I am...Dear Mark,<br /><br /> Not a productive meeting at all, I am very disappointed at the attitude of John McAllister especially, details as follows:<br /><br />1, I have removed John's email because he stated he had not read any of my correspondence and neither would he. Apparently he has not got the time!<br /><br />2, Apparently I had stated cattle had been injured on the dangerous fence, I asked them both if they had read any of my emails. <br /><br />3, Sorry Mark, no photo's of the repair because John does not do this work - no date given for fix date.<br /><br />4, KWT tried to blind me with science (green and scrub areas) of why cattle have run of 4 fields. Cattle are told every day what field to graze on, farmer a cattle whisperer ! IMHO spent grassland needs a rest.<br /><br />5, KWT agreed that the broken gap (again dangerous barbed wire) in fence need to be fixed, but head of reserve John could not give an approximate date. (Part of the problem #4)<br /><br />6, The mark 2 version of the access gate was going to be fixed by post in front of access ( I explained this is not a good idea as this method had been used on at least 5 other damaged gates over the years) Cattle just knock them down, waste of time and money.<br /> Surprisingly, John was not phased that young calves could be split from its mother, but could not answer how it was to feed on it's mother's milk though.<br /><br />7, Green Lane and A2 chain / kissing gate, can't afford tools or time, I explained when the ground freezes it's impossible to close . I reminded John, this was the same problem seen previously with the gate in the London Road area where cattle had escaped endangering the public .<br /><br />8, Reference, no manned telephone apparently was myself and other residents' fault. I said why would I have taken the time to post on Fix my street in preference to calling.<br /><br />9, I said why this had taken 2 months and 1 day for the meeting to take place. More shockingly I asked why It had taken a month for initial first contact from KW, the response was John was on holiday !! But I sent via DDC to Info@kentwildlife.org.uk so why?<br /><br />Conclusion: I am sure Kent Wildlife doesn't appreciate dog walkers who are the "eyes and ears for the reserve", they stated I had an attitude problem!<br /><br />They asked why you were not at the meeting, I stated I was the best person because I have been walking on the hills for more than 13 years. Luckily, dog walkers Linda and Jamie backed up my concerns of management of the reserve (unlucky it was such a dreadful day today we might have seen more) .<br /><br />Maybe when I said to you that I had been told by another dog walker John had left, maybe it was wishful thinking by him !<br /><br />Regards, Steve.Mr Stephen Chattawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10909551596338751774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-842860404734849475.post-65225928512309762902015-12-18T06:00:41.990+00:002015-12-18T06:00:41.990+00:00Dear Ms Weeks,

I suggest you read the correspondence. The management of cattle (at the moment herd have run of 4 fields and another herd as 3 fields) is a joke. How do you manage the welfare spread this far apart? Do you approve of cattle suffering for 3 days?<br /><br />Yes the kissing gate could easily be fixed but it as broken chain too. It needs gate with less maintenance, like the new swing gates, simple solution would be the one nobody uses.<br /><br />Finally, It would be nice if you gave a name to your attempted post you did 10 times on my website ! It would be of benefit to the local community., including dog walkers and local residents.

It bridges a gap deliberately left in the fence and has not been used to ‘fix’ the fence. Our grazier has put it up there as a temporary measure to prevent cattle leaving the compartments. The cattle are there to graze the chalk grassland for us in order to prevent scrub encroaching on the grassland and to improve the species diversity of the chalk grassland. The public do have access to the compartment further along via a pedestrian gate. I have spoken to our grazier on when the cattle are leaving and I have been informed they will be done before Christmas, by which the fence will then be removed.<br />><br />> <br />> As for the cattle injuries, the grazier has informed me there were a couple of cattle that were lame but he dealt with them. He checks his own cattle on a regular basis. There were apparently no other injuries that occurred. I do not know why Steve was unable to contact anyone from Kent Wildlife Trust concerning the cattle injuries. We do have a livestock rota in place for wardens in the East Kent area to be on call for all days of the year if any issues occur with the livestock.

Access from Green line to rear gardens in Target Firs<br /><br />Reported anonymously at 13:29 today<br />Sent to Kent County Council and Dover District Council 1 minute later<br />The green bushes and trees on Green Lane have ben hacked down by residents in Target Firs.<br />This so they put bland fences up and access to their rear garden so they can park. There is a digger here on 17th May 2015 doing one such resident.<br />This means more cars parking in the back of gardens bordering onto Green Lane and more traffic down a little lane.<br />No planning permission has been granted for any of these, and the council should act now to stamp on this flagrant abuse of the rules.Mr Stephen Chattawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10909551596338751774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-842860404734849475.post-55745517957784274092014-07-08T14:22:25.090+01:002014-07-08T14:22:25.090+01:00Sightlines

Increasingly, people are using it to leave their vehicles all day and commute by bus. However, this leaves a totally obstructed view of the road and oncoming traffic. This is extremely dangerous as I leave my driveway by car and have to edge into the stream of oncoming traffic. There needs to be some form of parking restriction so that homeowners can exit their driveways safely. I have on several occasions had near misses with vehicles heading towards Dover (some of these using excessive speed). The problem needs to be rectified before there is a serious accident.<br /><br />http://www.fixmystreet.com/report/493686Mr Stephen Chattawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10909551596338751774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-842860404734849475.post-62849066413950546352014-01-21T16:17:54.017+00:002014-01-21T16:17:54.017+00:00Litter

This gate (along with many other gates) has never been properly fixed despite reporting this problem.<br /><br /> IMO chaining gates where cattle are present is dangerous, not to mention this is a public right of way. <br /><br /> These types of gates are high maintenance that require, at the very least dirt and derbies removed from the hinge area to enable them to close correctly. <br /><br />The semi circular swing type gates would IMO be a better option.<br /><br />I look forward to your response, I will then pass onto locals.<br /><br />Regards,<br />S Chattaway<br /><br />CC: Kent CC, Locals, Councillor, MP and TE Parish Council.<br /><br /><br />On 07/06/2012 14:15, Kent County Council wrote:<br />> Dear Mr Chattaway<br />> <br />> Thank you for your email regarding a kissing gate.<br />> <br />> I have forwarded your email to the Public Rights of Way department, in order that they can respond to your enquiry.<br />> <br />> For further information regarding this enquiry please contact the department directly, their contact details are prow@kent.gov.uk<br />> <br />> Kind regards<br />> <br />> Jamie<br />> <br />> Customer Service Advisor<br />><br />><br />><br />> <br />><br />> <br />> Kent County Council Highways & Transportation<br />> Telephone: 08458 247 800<br />> <br />><br />><br />> --------------------Original Message--------------------<br />> From: Stephen Chattaway Sent: 2012/06/04 10:10:09 To: Kent County Council Subject: Problem Report: "Kissing" gate<br />> Dear Kent County Council, A user of FixMyStreet has submitted the following report of a local problem that they believe might require your attention.
