The Friends of Sunbury Park (FoSP) have discussed with the Council the annual grazing of cattle in Sunbury Park and the impact this year of the Covid19 pandemic.

Both the Council and the grazier agreed that this year, the effects of the coronavirus meant that things would need to be a little different.

Based on the representations put forward by FoSP and others, in the spirit of compromise and maintenance of the council relationship with the grazier; and being seen to do the right thing by the users of Sunbury Park, the arrival of the cows would be delayed at least until the lockdown is over.

The situation will thereafter be revisited to assess whether any grazing is required or warranted for the rest of the season.
