It is important to keep the biodiversity of the common and access for the public. This can only be achieved by maintaining the common in its current form.

Currentley the ratio in terms of land area is 90% heath and scrub 10% trees. Not bad considering there has been no management of the common for 100 yrs. The idea that there was some golden age when there was even more heath and scrub is entirley a deliberate falsification, fabrication of history to suit there own ends.

I would advise you all to research the biodiversity of heathland. Heathland is one of the worlrds rarest environments - even more rare than rainforest. The fact that Hartlebury is isolated makes it even more important that the habitat is maintained as heath and that succession is arrested and preferably reversed. I suggest research includes visits to Highgate Common, where lots of work has been carried out to restore the heatland & its very rare flora & fauna. The soil scraping so deriided by the action group is not to check on the progress as has been suggested, but the scrapes are to assist the survival of the many [ more than 100] varieties of solitary & mining bees that heathland supports.

I am a dog owner & will point out that we have choices about where we exercise our pets, unfortunately, heathland species can only exist on heathland. Scrub destroys the habitat & must be controlled, or do the present users of the Common want their children to be denied the opportunity to do likewise?
