Computer problems and deer

That router is still not working properly - ugggggh so had immense difficulties with emails and only now online - need to get a new one soon - if I'm off line for a while you'll know why!

Woke up today to 2 deer in the neighbours garden eating her windfall apples - watched them for ages - even got the photo left - first time seen them in the garden although plenty of signs and seen them elsewhere - beautiful....

Infact they've been hitting the news recently - a Defra consultation is due to finish on 24th October. Having finished consultations on so many other issues recently this is one I've not responded too - clearly the growing numbers of deer are causing growing problems and threatening many habitats. Apparently also lead to 300 people injured a year on the roads -
The Forest of Dean has been identified as one of seven black spots for deer-related car collisions in England.

So what to be done? The British Deer Society's response to the consultation seems to make alot of sense - but I'm no expert.

Anyway talking of consultations I want to respond to a draft of a local one on affordable housing...that is if I can get my internet connection to keep working.
