1 PETITIONS FORM If you wish to submit a petition for consideration by Committee, please complete this template. Please refer to the Protocol on Petitions before completing the template. If you require any further information or advice, please contact the Democratic Services Manager whose details are provided at the end of this form. Details of Principal Petitioner Please enter the name of person and organisation (if applicable) raising the petition. Please include a contact address to which correspondence may be sent, a contact telephone number and e-mail address if available. Name: Paul Kenyon Address: Tel No: E mail: Title of Petition Carsie Green Re-Wilding Objection Petition Statement - Please state (in no more than 250 words) what action the Petitioner wishes the Council to take. As residents of Carsie, we strongly object to the 2nd year of ‘Re-wilding’ the Council is forcing upon us. This makes the area unsightly, dog owners leaving dog faeces on the long grass, also encourages ticks – which carry Lyme’s disease plus other and fly-tipping. It must be costing the council more time and money by cutting paths through parts of the grass. We are surrounded by woodland, farms, and golf courses – This ‘Re-wilding project’ seems a pointless object in the bigger scheme. We also understand that Rattray resident also strongly object to this being done on Rattray Common. We wish Carsie Green to be fully re-instated to its former glory, by regular grass cutting. If PKC can provide £280,000 for the UCI Gran Fondo – surely it can make the area look attractive? PKC have permitted the West Park development & the latest development of 100 house at Ardblair – further loss of fields/long term rewilding.
