The official guidance for the courts, which comes into force next month, also recommends a less draconian approach to the sentencing of “drug mules”.
The council says it recognises that mules are often women who have been coerced or exploited by organised criminals: judges should take a six-year prison sentence as their “starting point”, rather than the current 10 years, when considering cases of mules playing a “lesser role” in bringing in up to 1kg of heroin or cocaine….
“The whole system of sentencing for drug offences needs significant reform as the reality is that the UK gives longer sentences for supply than most other countries,” she said, pointing out that the starting point for importing a “medium amount” of heroin was 11 years while the starting point for a rape was five years.
Unhappily for many people here, it is also famous for being featured on lists of good places to go “dogging” — that is, to have sex in public, sometimes with partners you have just met online, so that others can watch. So popular is the woodsy field below the ridge as a spot for gay sex (mostly during the day) and heterosexual sex (mostly at night) that the police have designated it a “public sex environment.
