The Tye is registered common land owned by Telscombe Town Council.  It was previously managed under a Higher Level Stewardship (HLS) agreement, but as the scheme has come to an end, the Council are taking expert advice on what the next steps are for managing and funding management of the Tye.  We will keep you updated in future Town Crier newsletters.

Commoners Grazing Rights

The Tye is Common Land which has registered commoners grazing rights.  As part of the grazing rights, Stud Farm and Kirby Farm can graze their sheep on the Tye for 365 days a year if they want to.   The Council therefore has no control over when the sheep will be present and cannot fence areas off as the rights are across the whole of the Tye.  We are also working with the commoners to ensure that grazing is limited to the amount of sheep listed in the Commons Register.
