The changes remove all my concerns, and I commend them. In the draft version, there was unfortunate scope for misuse by landowners of trespass provisions, in ways clearly against the interests of the Scottish people. I am relieved and reassured to read the new version, and look forward to its passing into law without damage. J2/02/1/2 SUBMISSION FROM J GIBBS I welcome the change made to include silage/ hay as crops. However, there is still no proposal to exclude access to conservation margins of fields. On the one hand, via schemes such as the Rural Stewardship Scheme, the Government is encouraging conservation field margins - narrow margins left uncropped and/ or planted with special grasses on the edges of cropped fields - in order to redress the dramatic decline in numbers of ground-nesting birds. On the other hand, it is declaring these margins open to all-comers and their dogs, which will destroy any chance of birds successfully nesting there. Surely, conservation margins should be exempted from free access? I am a farmer in Inverness-shire. We have always encouraged open access except where it might be hazardous or harmful to the crop or environment. Many aspects of the bill seem to ignore the fact that agricultural land forms the capital part of a functioning business. I have restricted myself to making four practical points about it: 1. Access to fields: I have been accepted into the Scottish Executive’s (SEERAD’s) Rural Stewardship Scheme which will pay for the improvement and enlargement of field margins to encourage ground-nesting birds by providing a better environment. The positive effects of this will be totally negated by the use of these margins by walkers, especially those with dogs. Please consider not allowing open access to field margins except where there are existing paths and especially in conservation areas. Otherwise you are legislating for the waste of public money 2. Exclusion powers: The inability to prevent the public from entering fields during their occupation by potentially dangerous stock, during operations such as the movement of stock, and during potentially hazardous operations such as combining (see SEERAD’s own advice about escalating farm accidents) is irresponsible both to the farmer and the public. Nor is it practicable to ask farmers to go through a long licensing process with the local authority to exclude the public during any of the above as decisions to act frequently have to be taken with short notice. For good or ill, the omission of exclusion powers appears to be designed for moorland areas. It cannot be in anyone’s interest to extend it intensively farmed ground. 3. 1865 Trespass Act: We have never had any problem with allowing people to walk through or camp in our woodlands (in fact, we won an award for doing just that), but the prospect of anyone being allowed to light fires there is crazy for obvious reasons.
