Council Answers Residents’ Questions Regarding Cuttle Brook Nature Reserve
Thame Town Council was recently approached by members of the Chiltern Vale Residents Association to provide answers to a number of questions regarding Cuttle Brook Nature Reserve. We have made all responses available to the public on our website.
Please click here to read our responses to the following:
1. Please confirm the legal basis behind the Councillor’s comment that access to Cuttle Brook from houses is illegal.
2. Where, why, and on what basis will you be planting brambles in Cuttle Brook? There are concerns regarding a gap in the brambles on the lower field.
3. Why are you allowing the Cuttle Brook volunteers to cut off access to some of the fields? Residents feel as though the Nature Reserve is supposed to be available for the public, and nature should not be prioritised over recreation.
4. Why was I not informed of any of the works that have been happening in Cuttle Brook?
5. Please explain exactly what is going to happen about dogs and walking in Cuttle Brook, and if you do ban something, how will you enforce this?
6. How do I become a volunteer?
7. Are the current paths in Cuttle Brook going to be kept open?
8. Why doesn’t the big field have multiple dog poo bins?
9. Please can we have clarity on who owns and is in charge of Cuttle Brook?
