I've seen a plan from above and it doesn't go near the trenches, they start surprisingly further back than anyone has the impression they do. If earth moving machinery is required damage will be minimised. Peter Beard has employed an ecologist as part of his team to look at wildlife and the impact on it both during and after the build.

Oh they do, do they. I did a bit of research and came up with an aerial photograph from the 1940's (courtesy Lancs.CC). It shows the area of the coppice and the layout of the trenches. I have imposed a circle of 100metres (approx) on the photograph to give you some idea of the number of trenches that will be obliterated by this project.
This is the second claim that Gayle and midpennine arts, whom she speaks for, have made that is FALSE. How many more of their amazing claims will turn out to be equally false. I am thinking about all the benefits that will come flooding into the borough. I am also thinking about the suggestions of additional funding, none of which is certain.
