Opposing perimeter fencing of Thursley, Elstead, Royal Ockley and Bagmoor Commons. Protecting the interests of horse riders, dog walkers, residents, cyclists, walkers and all who currently enjoy the Open Space of these commons now under threat from Surrey Wildlife Trust Ltd.’s enclosure plans.
This petition is part of a campaign by TERRACE: Thursley & Elstead Residents and Riders Against Commons Enclosures. It is not anti-conservation. It is about trying to get a balance between public access and conservation. SWT Ltd.’s plan is excessively weighted to an unproven conservation methodology, to the serious detriment of public access and public enjoyment of Open Space.

Can we not find a balance between conservation and allowing the public to enjoy these areas. Self closing gates are dangerous and inpractical to riders, and will certainly deter some riders from using the bridlepaths! Unfair!
