Luck ,had nothing to do with the reduced disturbances.It was through everyone's willingness to comply with the increased restrictions and their hard efforts,in trying to preserve their right to sail at West Kirby,by working with the local bird watching community.{ Sorry ,must have hit a nerve }

I've got a 100 page document that makes uncomfortable reading.

Nothing like the one you'll find at http://www.wirral.gov.uk/pe/hwkmp/

Wed 6 October Westbourne Hall 6-8...have your say, looks like a final public workshop.

Go on then, let us know just how uncomfortable is the reading?? if it is that bad, then we should all turn up to the public meeting on the 6th of October if it is going to be the last chance for public involvement.

Sim

and could you let us know the title of this document together with details of where one obtains it?



Consultation on this issue seems 'low key' to put it mildly. Where are the notices at the lake? Where are the letters to lake users (they have our addresses)?

yeah - a quick summary would be appreciated.. and where's the hall, and how'd ya get the document etc.....

Sorry so long replying to this, I couldn't locate this forum again then forgot about it - just happened to come across it again. Anyway - just to say that everyone (birdwatchers, bird wardens, Rangers etc.) fully appreciate the effort that went in to reducing bird disturbance last winter. There was really a big difference for which many thanks. Apologies also that the buoys which mark the no go areas (protecting the bird roosts) were so late going out this year - just an unfortunate combination of circumstances. But they are out there now and you will see that there is a bit more room to sail in - thank Dave Rose (Kite Surfer) for that who has been liasing with the Coastal Ranger.
