Hi everyone Looks like a challenge. We have discussed this before and there were lots of very thoughtful and knowledgeable opinions, but no decisions on any actions. I kind of got the consensus that many were uncomfortable with the spread of heathland landuse data but we never decided to do anything about it. It would be great in my opinion if we moved on as a community and actually decided to act on our discussions.
