Newton Knap

At last work has started again on this travesty of a site.
The origanal site board still promises a sustainable future. What a joke that is. When work started there was no concern for existing wildlife. The few original trees, now clearly dead, rattle like skeletons in the wind. And what of the water flowing from natural springs on the site?
The last of the old wall has just been demolished so presumably the continuation of what must be the worst stone wall in the area is imminent. Is it just a rumour that the garages on Cow Lane are to be demolished as someone has realised that cramming so many houses onto a small site leaves little room for cars?

If that rumour is true, then the planners got it wrong, not the developers. There are strict guidelines over the matter of car parking on any new development or redevelopment.

It has never been properly explained why when the old wall on the High Street came down it was not rebuilt a meter in so to create a footpath down to the Rookery Cottages. Massive opportunity missed IMHO.

Let's see - move 40 metre wall back one metre to create a public footpath blese- that's a loss of 40m' of the developer's land. Right........
