Re: big bumps on the coppice...?

I too had an email from her this morning, apologising (profusely no less) for not having replied earlier - could it be that she reads the AccyWeb and saw my post?

She informs me that "the questions and answers in Friday's paper should have answered some of [my] questions" I know she means the Observer but it isn't as if that's the only "paper" in the world.

The fact that I was in Ireland on Friday and didn't see the Observer would have been unknown to her (unless of course she reads the AccyWeb and saw mention of our trip) but she kindly attached a copy of the Q & A for my perusal. I must admit that the "A"s have left me with more "Q"s than I had in the first place and I shall endeavour to attend said meeting on March 12th.

Re: big bumps on the coppice...?

One thing I really, really want to know is how this Panoptican't is going to bring revenue to the town as now we are being told that it is best viewed from the air. Are we anticipating special day trips by aeroplane to fly over Accy (from Squires Gate maybe?) to view the "magnificent earthworks"? How exactly is this going to improve the financial state of the borough? Are the tourists mayhap going to drop monetary offerings onto the Coppice as they wing their way back to their place of origin?

The Planning Dept. will post a notice (assume on the coppice or near to) to indicate that they have had an application, should also give details. Once this notice is posted you can write in to the Planning Dept. indicating your opposition to the application.(I think there is further information on HBC website) and if you find out when the application is to be put to the Planning Committee, go along there and sit in at the meeting, and possibly speak on behalf of the people opposing the application. From past experience, the Planning Committee only seem to rubber stamp the views and findings of the "Technical Officers" of HBC,the Chief Planning Officer. See the link below, it lists current planning applications.

Thanks for that Park........I think you are right about the rubber stamping bit.
Make a mockery of public consultation though!

Yep, had a problem local with a planning application by HBC, there were 10 letters objecting to the application, and only 1 in favour, guess what the application went through on the chief planning officers recommendation

I think the answer is HBC are anticipating coachloads of tourists turning up,stepping off the bus,staring at the coppice, and having a bloody good laugh.

Hey don't know about that, but since they altered the runways at Manchester Airport, we are getting a lot more air traffic over Hyndburn now...............may be that's what HBC are thinking about, could be, there'll be a HBC salesperson at Manchester Airport

For the people not there it went like this, "He's fat, he's round, he's sold the f*****g town, Britcliffe, Britcliffe.
How true and so funny when the chant went up.

If this is true Bagpuss, football supporters have just gone up in my estimation!
