Cattle on Commons

The following message is from Andy Mitchell, Countryside Officer, ESCC.

Cattle have moved onto Pound, Memorial & Romany Ridge Commons.  There are currently no cattle on Red House or Lane End Commons.   The 4 Exmoor ponies remain at Red House Common.

Please let me know if any are signs are missing.  Please also report any issues with gates or fences to me and do reply to me if you no longer wish to receive update emails.

If there are any problems with the cattle, please report this to the farmer directly on 07710 031820.

And a reminder that fly-tipping is dealt with by Lewes District Council along with litter, dog nuisance, car parks or bins – please contact them directly here: https://www.lewes-eastbourne.gov.uk/report-a-problem/

Please keep dogs under control so they don’t chase or worry the livestock.   Dog fouling remains an issue – and Neospora is a parasite that causes cattle to abort calves.  Please clean up after dogs and don’t allow them into the cattle troughs, this water is for drinking only.
