It looks to me as though ‘drafting a response’ will be in Dr Coffey’s civil…
Signs of progress
It’s sometimes difficult to tell how well the message that grouse moor management is environmentally unsustainable, economically harmful and in any case underpinned by wildlife crime is spreading. It also feels like there is a bit of a feeling of ‘ what’s the point?’ around the current e-petition to ban driven grouse shooting. That’s a…
