Since August of this year, Barbed Wire has been erected to one side of Coldblow woods. This has been done in a very Hap-Hazard manner. Through these woods is a very popular Bridal /Footpath with the Barbed Wire being very exposed. The Wire has been erected as low as 12 inches from the ground to as high as 6 foot. The dangers this represents are many, not to mention with dogs or children running around, with barbed wire at eye level, or Horses Bolting due to a sudden loud noise (Shooting etc. ) not to mention a complete eye-sore (In more than one sense) to our countryside.

I appreciate that the Landowner has a right to express their ownership, but not in this dangerous manner.
All we ask is that Dover District Council and/or other appropriate Agencies take action to stop this complete madness and to ensure the safety of the public and their animals.

Total madness. Putting up wire that low to the ground is just asking for a lawsuit when someone gets hurt. Remove it immediately.

This is so dangerous. My dog runs through these woods all the time and I am terrified he is going to get seriously hurt. Take it down.

Seen horses spooked on this path before. If a horse bolts into that wire it will be absolutely horrific. Do something council.
