Wildlife pushed back at Battlemead

[Cookham Webmaster]

Thank you to the 884 people who signed our Protect Battlemead petition and many others who wrote emails to RBWM – a very powerful message to our borough councillors.

But it appears it was not strong enough to get a change of policy.

The council seems intent on putting a path through the East Field at Battlemead, a sensitive wetland area of the site and a national Priority Habitat, whose wildlife will inevitably be disturbed by humans and dogs going through.
