CAN someone please tell me what is the purpose of the fences that have blighted the heathland around the Verne on Portland.

And why it is felt that a further five foot plus wired fence is needed to replace the old three foot fence which has circled the Heights car park and viewing areas for decades.

By the way the view is ruined by the fence, unless of course you are over six feet tall.

Please don’t tell me it’s to do with H&S?

While I’m on the subject, now that a fence has been put around the Olympic Rings to refrain people from climbing on them can the sign be moved on to the fence so that it does not spoil the whole effect of the rings.
