If the RSPB said they were going to spend £6M on putting the landowners behind Hen Harrier persecution where they might not want to pick up any dropped Imperial Leather, I'd say let this green space go, but currently my sympathies, dog walkers or not, are with the locals. I've seen one wildlife space after another - just bits of land not used for anything else - vanish under concrete and brick and numpty townies because there weren't any special reasons not to. Enough already: pack the damn humans in tighter and see how they like it, that's the squeeze they've been putting on wildlife for far too long.John</blockquote>
