FOX COVERT, WEST PARK

LITTER AT FOX COVERT

Today I took the dog for a walk  around West Park including the Fox Covert Nature Reserve. Tarn the hairy hound mistakenly thought she could walk on Duck Weed. She was a bit sodden but crawled out of the Harrington Drain and frisked around in doggy delight after her minor misadventure.

A couple of weeks ago I put in a complaint to Erewash about the state of some of the steps and board walks that provide access around the Nature Reserve.  However there has been no action in response to my complaint and if anything it's got worse. In a sniffy letter I was told that Wardens regularly patrolled the area. In two spots people have littered the place badly, including broken glass, presumably the "regular inspection" missed these two areas. Another complaint has gone in.(Sigh)
