ENV-Exmoor Problems

.The increasing number . Some problems arise from sheer numbers of people. Too many feet on the same track wear it away; too many cars on narrow roads cause congestion and ill-temper.

.Litter is not only untidy but can be dangerous.  A cigarette can cause a fire which may spread  across the moor, getting rid of  wildlife and habitats.

* Conflicts of land use:
.House price and shop price increase
.Narrow roads become blocked
.not enough parking

*Famers & Tourisis:
Gates ar left open, trespassing occurs, livestock go missing.

*Bird Watchers:
moutain bickers make too much noise so birds fly away.

WHAT HAS CHANGED IN HASLEMERE AND WHAT PEOPLE HAS IT AFFECTED?
Some things that have changed in Haslemere that have affected people are:
.All the supermarkets, the butchers would maybe go out of business because the meat in, lets say Waitrose, would be a lot cheaper.

.The new A3 tunnel has affected the cars because it has been very busy and has been mayhem at peak times in the town centre.But when the tunnel is finished (this year!)it will be really good because Hindhead will be quieter and so will Haslemere.

.The new leisure centre has affected all the people who used not to go swimming or to the gym can now go easily. More children could go swimming and have lessons.(more people get active.)
