Footnote on the footpath


It was impressive to see all the hard graft put in on the footpath on Saturday - congratulations to all involved.

However, that success comes with some bad news.  While clearing up afterwards Roger and Helen made a horrible discovery.  They found the dead and mutilated bodies of about 10 toads and frogs, obviously killed when the drain was being cleared.  

This is a tragic slaughter and Helen and I agreed that before we residents set out to do any more work that might affect the environment in such a destructive way, we should seek to do an environmental impact assessment.  Roger is very knowledgeable and experienced in the field and would be glad to undertake the assessment.
