Fire risks on meadows Update

Success at last.

Residents have expressed concern that the meadows at the entrance to the park are a fire risk to nearby homes in the summer because they are rarely cut-back or used for grazing. The residents association did ask Royale and they confirmed they neither own the land or know who does. So, we contacted the government’s land registry people to try and get to the bottom of it.

According to documents we’ve received, these fields have been sold to a property investment corporation based in Liechtenstein. We have also managed to track down an Essex based property company who are in charge of promoting the land and they have kindly given us the details of the owner’s UK agent.

The association has written to the agent several times over the last few months to flag up the fire risk but they haven’t replied. So, we passed all our findings on to Essex Fire.

Nice guy at Essex Fire contacted us said he can't force them to cut back but he will write to them to say he supports our concerns. Two days later and they're being cut back!
