The City’s parks and open spaces officer has met the regional manager of Greene King, owners of the Fort St George, to discuss the deep gouging of the Common and the rubble used to extricate heavy vehicles from the mud. The damage to the Common is going to be made good, including re-seeding.

We are also pleased to report that the ugly bare patch caused by the bonfire on Nov 5th is going to be reseeded for the first time.

Measures are being prepared to limit the size and number of vehicles coming onto the Common. Details will be reported as soon as arrangements have been made after consultation with the pub and the restaurant.
