ABSTRACT
Crammed as they are in metropolitan Grotton, many of the County’s residents may not use their countryside very often but they feel better knowing it’s there and hope it will always look as it did 200 years ago – like Hovis, or Bobby Charlton. Johann Heinrich’s third ring is represented in the county by the outermost hilly regions of rough grazing, peat bog and characterful wind farms to the north and east of Cloggley. Peter Rabbit accepts that the Council has generally been too easy-going in assessing applications for agricultural workers’ dwellings in the open countryside. The County Council has also taken direct action by giving preference to locally sourced foodstuffs in local schools and the County Hall canteen – though doubt has been expressed about whether this really was intended to cover the whole range of crisps from the supermarket in the High Street.
