Lands should be fiercely defended
It should remain green and with public access to the whole area for the present townsfolk and future generations to enjoy.
I was equally surprised to see the sudden addition of wooden and wire fencing being constructed – would this have needed planning permission being in the Conservation Area? According to a little snippet in the Courier a few weeks back, this has been put there to prevent escaping race horses galloping into the town centre – which obviously could have awful consequences. I may be wrong, but to my knowledge, this has not happened for a number of years. Some might say that the fence is more of an attempt to keep the public off public land, than to keep race horses in.

The future of St Mary’s Lands should, quite rightly, be fiercely defended and protected.
