Lesser Crested Tern - Oman 28th Feb 2024

18 January, 2013


Hi All,
 
Well here is what we have all been waiting for, another caravan park proposed for Clymping Street.  Aattached is the letter received today and I urge all to write in to the address given, with your comments.

Interestingly, the land owners have already started work on the proposed site by felling a large tree by the Blacksmith’s shop and making a dirt entrance in an attempt to  “provide a safe access to and from the site” (one of the few requirements).  Where once stood a nice tree now a gaping hole with a long cement barrier in front.  I have no doubt that this proposed caravan site will look just as wonderful as the sign-ridden Farm Shop with the lovely garbage-filled polytunnel behind, next to the sawed off tree stumps. 

One line of thought is that this is a step taken to undermine the covenants on the Clymping Street lands.
 
I trust this matter will be discussed at the next Parish Council meeting.

I am not against caravan sites per say, but at the strong arm approach with which the land owner attempts to force one on the residents of Clymping.  I would also not mind if there was not a history of substandard looking and maintained establishments.    This is just another step toward massive development in the village.

Sightings for the 17/1 Patch fairly dead this morning, in the horse paddock a Stonechat, 5 Song Thrushes, plus 4 Grey Partridge in the field behind. On the beach c. 45 Sanderling, and 10 Med Gull, at Poole Place.  The bird of the day was a SHAG off Poole Place.
