Abingdon Lock - goats v the EA

just seen this on the bbc website:

Goats not allowed to stay on Abingdon Lock - Environment Agency

just sums up how bad the EA are and how they don't have their priorities quite right.

I'm struggling to imagine any land owner being content with someone (even their employee's wife) keeping farm animals on their land without consent.

Presume there will be a best display of old corrugated iron competition, with most inventive use of old tyres and mattresses sub section.

Think I would be minded to agree with the EA on this one, once everybody gets over the ooh..ahh nice goat stuff, they will basically eat and destroy the whole Island, its not agricultural land.

to be honest, I didn't read the article correctly at first. I assumed that the EA where trying to get them off his garden (back of the house), didn't realise they were on the lock island itself - that would be interesting when we go there in July as booked on the island.
