Surrey Heath Borough Council have been supportive of our cause, in providing equipment and funding.
Natural England(previously known as English Nature) have been keen to protect the SSSI/SPA. They have brought the prosecutions against the offenders. English Nature’s application for Section 29 was supported by AGODC’s presentation of supporting evidence during the audience with Michael Meacher, the Minister of the Environment, which also raised awareness and government concern to third party damage to SSSI sites.
Surrey Police have regularly stopped offenders and gathered the relevant information for English Nature to prosecute.
