    They probably do need some sort of knowledgable person to sort the problems that our burgeoning deer population are causing.
    In Dorset, we have appalling problems with deer overpopulation, particularly with Sika which are multiplying faster than the relatively disorganised individual Estate or farm stalker can cope with. The problem is exacerbated by the patchwork quilt of land ownership and the fact that many landowners couldn’t give a toss. As long as the damage occurs to the tenants, it doesn’t matter to them.
    As government jobs go, this one is relatively, sharp-end and hands on, so is more likely to be a position like a policeman or nurse. The real non-jobs are those highlighted elsewhere such as Norfolk’s “community cohesion officer”. These are the ones that really do need sorting out – i.e. making them redundant.

    May one take it that “peri-urban deer” are a new species, in addition to the Roe and Sika??
    Probably just those that wander around people-populated towns and cities. Why do we need this constant obfuscation? A spade is best described as a spade – not a manually-operated earth-digging implement! Is this done in order to make the rest of us think that we are dumber than dumb?!
