Just a suggestion of course.<br /><br />A supporter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8246842529969806828.post-24448938748047718042013-08-16T07:34:30.171+01:002013-08-16T07:34:30.171+01:00Nigel,

I suggest, followers, we don't open up a debate here that might inflame the situation.<br />BillBillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01318720512739905663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8246842529969806828.post-86370637784460987792013-08-16T07:31:54.233+01:002013-08-16T07:31:54.233+01:00Roger,

The applicant actually applied back in October 2011 on the basis that the route had been regularly walked for 20 years without let or hindrance. This application comes to light now because it is referred to in the response from Worcester Public Rights Of Way who advise that it will not even be looked at for at least twelve months. It does seem like the application is a deliberate attempt to block the reinstatement of the railway given the section of the trackbed "bagged" as a public right of way. I'm really worried that if nothing else this will delay the whole planning application procedure for at least a year because no decision can be made until this application has been dealt with.

It's a huge number.<br /><br />Every one of these bricks is second hand, and was recovered from somewhere. Each one was stacked, inspected and cleaned of mortar with lump hammer and bolster by our valiant team of brick layers.<br /><br />On top of that, the bricks are all traditional imperials, and much heavier than modern bricks.<br /><br />Well done, guys !Jo https://www.blogger.com/profile/05480195769830116100noreply@blogger.com
