Heyes playing fields.

I noticed this morning that yet again the heyes playing fields were damaged by what appears to have been a wagon driven on it last night.What i fail to understand is why LCC who own the land,hynburn council and St Marys who want to refurbish the area spend some of the monies they say they have to make the area more secure,ie an earthern bank,even if it is only on a temp basis,but then again the famous health and safety laws might mean that the brussel sprout brained horse riders that gallop across it on a very regular basis or the local numbties in the obligatory corsas who use it as a main road might injure themselves trying to get on.

LCC Consultation: Full: Construction of a Heys Playing Field Heron Way
05/10/2009
single storey football pavilion including new Oswaldtwistle Accrington car park, footpath, 2.4m high 2D security fencing, conversion of existing all weather pitch to natural grass football pitch and
redraining works to existing pitches

The plans were approved, so hopefully when the work's completed, it won't be happening in the future.

We locals have been told that public access to the playing field will cease on 23rd due to commencement of drainage works and construction plant on the field.

So if you 'excercise' your dog there you will have to find somewhere else for it to crap
.....and not on our lawns please (I am ready with a camera to record offenders)

Temporary fencing was going up yesterday.

The permenant fencing looks about 50% done.
Even though it is 8' high it isn't obtrusive because you can see through it easily.

Today the fencing firm has been using a sthil saw continuously for the last two hours at the main construction area next to my flat.

....keeping windows closed and hoping for heavy rain

PS Wow - the power of thought! - rain stopped play as I typed

Rain stopped - 'play resumed' - it is difficult to maintain brain power with a two hour headache.

The novelty of having something to watch from my ivory tower has worn off good style.

The noise pollution from living next to this building site is driving me scatty (and for those of you who thought I was that already, for me to acknowledge that, shows you how bad it is).

Today, the combination of the prolonged use of a cement mixer and stiyl saws, interspersed with the bleeps of reversing heavy machinery, and the rumble of delivery vehicles is unbearable.

When the caterpillar tracked vehicles pass my front door my desk vibrates.
This is a rant from a sleep deprived person. Any elderly person will tell you that a daytime nap is essential to an 'older persons' wellbeing - I am being deprived of mine.
