Wadsley and Loxley Common

[Halibut]

I've just heard that Sheffield City Council are going to put cattle on Wadsley Common. If anyone is against this, please visit the moonfruit site and on there you can put in stop the cows.

Thank You.

 

Why do you want to oppose this? The cows are part of a plan to preserve the site as lowland heath - a very valuable habitat.

Any comment on the Wadsley and Loxley Commoners site?

Maybe they wish to set up a dog boarding business and would like to use the Common to walk their dogs and don't want any pesky fences and regulations about keeping dogs on leads hampering them.

Far too many dogs and owners up there which have turned it into Sheffield largest litter tray.

We're all for the cattle plan, what's more important - protecting a scarce habitat or providing one large dog toilet for lazy dog owners who have no respect for the habitat or others wishing to enjoy the area. We live a 5 minute walk from the common but no longer take my toddler there as its full of dog mess & stinks. He can't run about as he has ran/fell in dog muck, its everywhere. Beware lazy dog owners, we are watching you...prepare to be named & shamed.

From a personal point of view, I think I'd rather like to see some Highland cattle on Wadsley Common. But I don't have a dog. I do wonder though how long they'd stay there before somebody rustled them.

 

Edit: it does however sound as though the main reason behind it is money rather than anything else.

Either by luck or judgement I think you've found the reason why some people are objecting to fences and the imposition of stricter rules about dogs on leads.

I always thought that goats were the best for that sort of work
