Natural England has now conceded additional recreational usage can be accommodated without harm to birdlife on KC111 coastal path including sections of the path on Isle of Sheppey which pass through the SPA. Surprise Surprise-dog owners can now be trusted to read signs to keep dogs on a leash thereby avoiding any harm. This payment can no longer be justified and Natural England should be held to account for how/ why it was ever charged in the first place. Amazing how NE can change its view when it suits.
