CONTRACTORS START ON FENCING THE CHURCH STREET SITE TODAY.Today the sub-contractors of Land Scape Services the Council Contractor ; SJ Fencing in Eastbourne started placing fencing 2.5metres away from the wall to make a wildlife corridor. This was decided by the Council Ecologist. This is very peculiar as we are told the Council representatives in a High Court Case action Hastings Badger Protection Society v Hastings Borough Council, that the evidence presented by their own expert witness, told the Court that best practice was, 5 metres if the corridor was used solely by badgers and 10 metres if the corridor was shared by humans, ie, a dog walking footpath around a new development. The Wildlife Corridor is 2.5meteres wide so understandably we are not sure what or who the Council expect to use it. The Councils Estate Manager was again on leave and could not comment.
