If access from the estate to the marah is restricted by the erection of a barrier it would go some way towarda helping to conserve the remainder of the marah. However, so feel that it would not be possible for a Nature Reserve and an extremely congested housing estate for 30,000 people to exist nide by side.

If a plan is prepared for a Nature Reserve on the had to Murches, am guarantee given that the surrounding area will be protected from far ther development, the 1.0.5.P. will willingly approach certain international argoniantions with which we have links, in order to socure finameial aid. naturally micorne în so doing would de end very much on the nature of tho propoună.

We would like to emphasise that we should be glad to give all the constructive help we cam to weve this area of international importanen,
