This is even worse than the tellytubby bumps. I totally agree that those rings full of rainwater are a danger. I hate to think of a child drowning in there but that seems a very real possibility I would have thought. Given the fact that these are concentric circles they are just asking to be climbed (how else would anyone see beyond the first incline?) and then you're faced with a smooth slope down into water of unknown depth? The fact the the slope continues on down beneath the water would surely add to the danger. Who in their right mind can think this is a good idea? That's before we even get to the point that stagnant rainwater is eventually going to become decidedly pongy.

It hardly seems worth commenting on the proposed demolition of the shelter in favour of picnic tables which won't last five minutes once the vandals get at them.

Why oh why do we have to even have a wretched panopticon? Yesterday Busman and I were going up the A56 and at the junction with Manchester road we noticed a nice lump of ground which would look lovely with a statue/piece of artwork/whatever upon it and that would leave our beloved Coppice alone.

See photos below of the lump in question.
