The post you are reporting:
Yes but Paul, I was only explaining the difference between areas on lower Western Heights that seem overgrown with weed and brambles, and the well-kept areas that WHPS cover further uphill.
My point is, DDC, or DTC, whichever council is responsible for these rather neglected areas where pathways and steps are left overgrown, have much the same problem as WHPS, namely they are cash-strapped.
I fully appreciate that it is through volunteer work, such as that of WHPS, that many areas on the Heights are kept clear of overgrowth.
However, Dover does need a gardening-squad, on a regular basis, in Spring and Summer, who also do tidying up operations along country lanes (tin-cans, old fridges, whatever)...
This would apply to many country roads and paths, all around Dover, and even the river Dour.
So in this sense, such a company of paid and equipped people could also dedicate their attention to all of Western Heights.
The result of this reasoning of mine is: local government should ask for the necessary funds to employ and pay people to carry out this work all over the green areas in Dover District, wherever such intervention is required and whenever the present resources currently employed are not sufficient.
And this could of-course include Western Heights as a whole.
Having some history of gardening, I offered to do something in this sense on the day I signed on in late 2009, but the Jobcentre explained that this work is done by volunteers.
However, I can't live off fresh air alone.
So unless the authorities pull their act together, and devise a proposal to offer local employment in this area (gardening - countryside cleaning), and ask for the funds to finance it, I can't see anything being done to solve the problems you mention.
I am as much interested as you are to see something positive being decided to keep out green areas neat and tidy.
