Re: Killing wood footpath outside buffer zone is dangerous 

Peter's letter doesn't make sense. The existing footpath is the one which Shepway created last year, which, with constant use and some improvement works by the Council would be more than adequate for Peter and his friends.

The proposed new one is the one which they are demanding the Council creates - destroying the fence which was only replaced a few months ago. I must say the list of qualities he is demanding make it sound more like a minor road than a country footpath.

As for push chairs and invalid chairs - that whole area is, and always has been, most unsuitable for these vehicles, and I have never seen any along that route. The area ends at Killing Wood in a farmer's field (walkers have broken down the perimeter fence there as well).

Are Peter and friends going to insist the farmer upgrades his fields for their convenience?

For goodness sake, there are plenty of good walks around here - use them and leave the residents of this area in peace.
