Road verges - ecological protection scheme
Dear Sir or Madam,
If you run an ecological protection scheme for road verges in your area, please could you provide me with the following details:
a) what protection measures a verge receives when it is included in the scheme
b) the list of verges covered by the scheme (and their locations - road name/number and six figure OS grid references would be fine)
c) for each verge, the specific reasons why the verge has been included in the scheme - i.e. the notable species found there, or the NVC community present
If you do not run such a scheme in your area, but you are aware that another body does, please could you refer me to them instead.
Many thanks,
Susan Davis

Please find attached a copy of a report (RVNR Report 1991) which details
road verge nature reserves in Oxfordshire. The report lists the names and
locations of the verges as well as the notable species and habitat
management measures of each scheme.
Additional schemes have been added since 1991 and details of these are
also attached to this email.

Dear Rachel
Thanks for this reply. The information for the four additional sites appears to consist of just one sheet each - I think maybe you meant to include a map and an information sheet for each? Also the information sheet for the first site has some information obscured. Could you look into this and supply revised copies of these four documents?
Thanks,
Susan Davis

Dear Susan avis,
I am pursuing your query with the relevant colleagues. However, I can
confirm that the Cowleaze Wood attachment consists of two pages and the
Ipsden attachment consists of four pages. The Aston Rowart and Britwell
Hill attachments consist of one page each.

Dear Susan Davis,
Having checked with colleagues, I am writing to confirm that there isn't
an information sheet to accompany all four additional sites because the
RVNR report has not been updated yet. It is hoped that this will be
achieved this summer.
