There is a large patch of sand at the site which is not contained, this will lead to it being trampled and blowing through the downs (SSSI & SAC). I dont know if they were given permission for this installation but it will have lasting consequences for microfauna like slugs and worms for years to come whilst disrupting the natural ecology of the area. Please mandate that they get rid of or contain the sand safely and effectively. Furthermore, the dust being blown up by cars using the temporary parking is a hazard for residents, road users and pedestrians alike whilst causing compaction to the site, this should also be monitored and stewards should be directing traffic.
