I heard the metal fencing rattle about 30 mins ago and went to the window just in time to see four lads leaving the site by using the gate (they must have broken the lock on it).
They ran off down the allotment track before I got a good look at them.
I stayed looking but they didn't come back - I have a police incident number to call and quote if they do. They are not far away - I can hear their boisterous shouts.
Looks like its gonna be a busy night.
I must try to summon up a thunderstorm

Re: Hayes playing fields.
Could have been Gas and Electricity, they usually do that on the roadsReally noisy here today.
My desk has been shaking several times.
That caterpillar track digger makes the earth move for me
What I dont understand is why they are re-digging a trench that they dug and filled in several weeks ago.
I can see that they are adding another pipe to the one they originally laid.
Why didn't they lay both then

Wet today isn't it?

At the start of this project, the firm building the pavilion, dug out an area the size of 4 tennis courts down to a depth graduating between 2' and 5'.
There was a heck of a lot of topsoil heaped up and shipped out by convoys of lorries.
Now, the firm constructing the football pitches, are shipping soil IN by convoys of lorries. (starting at 7.30am - groan)
Totally illogical!
Another sign of poor organisation was the brick built meter shed with its concrete slab roof and white painted door.
It took several days to construct - yesterday demolished.

Why if it was a temp building that needed to be secure?
As for the soil maybe they need a better quality of soil for the pitches that allows fast water drainage. What they dug out may have been too heavy and full of clay.
OK I can accept the soil quality issue - but I don't think that building was 'temporary' - why paint the door if it was to be scrapped before it would have time to rot.
Earlier in this thread there was a link to planning consent which doesn't work now.
I recall it stipulated restriction of times of day when work and deliveries could happen.
I was wakened before 7.30am with the tipper lorries and the loud clanging noise their tail gates make as they slam open and shut - (and the bleeping reversing noises) - it wasn't until 7.30 that I got up after deciding that going back to sleep wasn't an option.
There are styl saws operating again today - groan

It's here, Margaret. Probably the link went when they started putting plans on their site. Page 5 re. times. Sometimes takes time to load, so be patient.

Thanks Kate - I have a slow connection today - I will look when it downloads eventually.
As an amusing anecdote to this saga -
There is a woman who daily walks a pack of bull terriers up here.
She is known locally as 'pit bull Ann'.
For the past 2 weeks, gravel, and now soil, has been shifted from the pavilion site, where it has been unloaded, up to the top of the field, via the narrow allotment tracks.
Recently one of the two large dumper trucks met this 'lady' with dogs on a return trip down the track.
She refused to move aside and the truck had to reverse back onto the field.
Result - two signs have been erected on the verge near the site entrance -
"BEWARE OF PEDESTRIANS"

The road to the allotment car park has been blocked without notice.
If you planned to visit your allotment today - you can't. The car park is chock-a-block with contractors vehicles in any case. One of them needed to leave and used the footpath (see thumbnail 2).
A jackhammer is digging a trench across the road.

which make three loud clangs every time one does
..whoops I said metal - hope pixies don't see this
Well if they do you won't be getting 3 loud clangs, there'll be just one loud bang.
The word 'heys' is of ancient origin and simply means 'fields', usually of the type used for pasture. Thus it seems to me that the Heys pub was so named simply because it was in an area long called th'heys because, when other land had gone for industrial or housing use,it was kept as green belt.
Re: Hayes playing fields.
I can remember when there were no houses what-so-ever on the land behind the heys Bob, development only started in around 1973 prior to that the land was mostly allotments
