To date there are no safeguards in place to improve the towns environment. The victorian sewage system has failed for a number of years in parts of the Borough. No monitoring systems in place.
There is urgent need for ongoing annual monitoring reports for all the triple S.I. sites eg. Monkham Wood. To date Council officers have failed to ascertain the condition and neglect of the area or ensure the restoration of the coppice areas to the original rich mosaic pattern of wildlife and sustainable ancient woodland. The objectives as laid down on paper are not followed through in practice.
