A Presentment by Margaret Bunyard to the Verderers’ Court on 19 February 2014 drew attention to the poor condition of two recent “restorations” carried out by the Forestry Commission at Amberslade Bottom and Buckherd Bottom.  Photographs taken over a period of two years show the progressive disintegration of alterations which used methods and materials similar to those originally proposed for planned work at Latchmore Brook.  The subsequent disruption to the local environment is striking and we very much hope that our ongoing discussions with the authorities involved will mean that Latchmore will not suffer the same fate.
