Action Points and Matters Arising •
StB met with two representatives of the landowner, Lillburn Estates, to discuss matters relating to Bowden Doors ◦
The landowner's greatest concern was a prior incident where the gate to Back Bowden Doors had been blocked by a parked car.
◦
NMC representatives agreed the situation with the wall collapse
◦
NMC and the landowner agreed the following:
◦ •
▪
The NMC would provide new signage for the gates at Bowden Doors and Back Bowden Doors that would specifically mention parking issues specific to the sites.
▪
StB would do more stabilisation work on rubble at Bowden
▪
NMC allayed landowner's concerns about SSSI responsibilities
StB returned to Bowden Doors on Saturday and dismantled the residual wall back to the escarpment.
The estate manager, Tony, from Lillburn Estates and a waller have inspected the collapsed wall and propose replacing it with a fence ◦
StB will advise on the best positioning of the fence
