Welsh SFS ‘Co-design’

Is that not an option that you can take up if you wish, with payment rates yet to be decided? Not a universal action iirc.
Could be. My mind was doing somersaults after reading half of it. Riverside fencing which was done for glastir has to be 6m zone to qualify now aswell. That's 2 1/2 miles with both sides here🙄

They want all your boundaries to be three metre double fenced hedge

And with creosoted fencing post being banned next Oct, all those fences will need replacing every six or seven years, what will be the Carbon footprint of that (unless Clipex fencing used)?

How many arguments are there going to be about who's fence is who's and if you fence a strip against your neighbour and his stock graze your buffer who gets the penalty.

Fecking stupidity of the highest order. :facepalm:

I think everyone should ignore it, they can't send everyone to jail!

Everyone around Wales should take a spanner and remove all the signs as they are put up. It's going to cost millions in sign changes as they are expensive. That money could have gone into the NHS. Maybe that think if it takes people longer to get to hospital waiting times will shorten!:woot:

£35m is the cost to alter the signs.

Its loony but then we have Drakey and his mob in charge

I sent the co-design survey off and got a very prompt reply:
'I have just had a look at your feedback form and I'm afraid there are no responses
on there.'
I've looked at my saved doc and my responses are still there so obviously they were not the right ones.
I followed the link in the second post, it didn't ask for any details and I've not recieved any response. :scratchhead:

Me neither, just a thank you when you submit the last page.

I’m guessing that’s why some posters have managed to fill it in without a Welsh holding number, or multiple times.
I don’t suppose that matters if they’re going straight to RPW’s junk folder anyway?
