The Accy Observer tends to go along with council decisions and in particular Britcliffe who favours this monstrosity is their flavour of the month (or year)

Well done and thank you A-b, for all the info you have supplied, I have already done my NO vote!

So have I. I might even write to Greg Pope next.

We have to let them know how popular this isn't.

Planning objections would be for disturbing the wildlife, though this panopticon is meant to encourage people up the Coppice and I suspect Mid Pennine Arts hav`nt planned for any additional car parking. Avenue Parade is already full and the pull in off the bypass is next to a very steep path that is totally unsuitable for disabled access.
Anyway, I thought the Coppice was given to the people of Accrington not to Mid Pennine Arts for their own personal use. Talking to Gayle Knights dad, he told me that the scheme also includes funding for upgrades of paths and upkeep of the artwork, but who will be checking these? I`m bloody sure Mid Pennine Arts won`t be....

Well, I have just e mailed PB with my objection. I doubt it will do any good as I'm sure our cerebrally challenged leader will do what the hell he wants anyway.:D

Re: big bumps on the coppice...?
 

there was an article in the observer by councillor dave prkins i think he is called about clamping down on planning permission and not allowing retrospective permission to those who build then apply later. if the council do ignore public opinion and go ahead would they not be as bad as everyone else, if they do erect these monstrosities then lets all do the same in our front gardens without the planning permision

No doubt these humps will be used by motor bikers and mountain bikes for doing jumps, so they could close the skate parks and save even more money....

LMFAO what a great idea, if they don't give a toss what we think, then we don't give a toss what they think...............might plop a great big turd looking design in my front garden see how they like that.
