Re: Kit's Coty by Anonymous on Monday, 05 January 2004

I know the people who are planning to farm these fields. They are aware of peoples concerns for this monument and don't wish to harm the site. The field in which it is situated is large and the chicken houses will be well away from Kits Coty.

These are extremely friendly people and will manage the land on which the monument is based. Thus helping to protect it. access will also be improved in the long run.

If people are worried about the aesthetics of the site, they should visit a free range chicken farm. They consist of a few wooden barns widly dispersed and surrounded by grass in which chickens run freely. They will not 'desecrate' the site in any way. In most cases they blend pleasingly into the greenery.
I would not use the word intensive to describe this type of farming. Few chickens venture from the sheds, and they are extreamly quite. if not silent.
perhaps it would be better to pull down the unsightly houses already surrounding the fields.
People making allegations against this farmer should at least be willing to leave their name so that they can stand up and be counted and so their claims are not brought into question.

I agree that Kit's Coty should be preserved, and it will be.
