Thanks for that explanation. If, as you say, the Coppice may become the centrepiece of the Regional Park, then surely it is in everyones interest to make any sculptural Landmark placed there as visually dramatic and as artistically valuable as possible. How do you think a handful of grassed over heaps, which according to Midpennine Arts, will only be properly visible from the air, achieve this end?
..... It wont, their crap. And also the earth moving equipment as well. Its a very fragile ecosytem up there. There is no road to the top. Stone slabs or whistling wall were my choices or nothing at all were my choices..
You also mention The East lancashire Rapid Transit System. Perhaps you could enlighten us what will happen to this proposal, if as is expected the government's review of Railways in the north west concludes that the Blackpool/Colne Line is inefficient and should be closed?

I just noted how much it has proved to be pie in the sky [Transit plans]. [How much council Tax do we pay?]
The Colne line is hort of just 300 yards of track near Todmordon to make it a circular to Manchester through Blackburn, East Lancs valley, Tod, Manchester. To me that makes more sense. I cant see it being cut though a new operator has just taken over I understand.
However Clitheroe Manchester is under threat. Another Beeching hatchet job you might argue. Although Prescott has just backed down and help fund the Manchester Metro 2 - the extension I understand? We will have to see what govenment recomends but.. the EL railway is important.
