Not legally and it has stiles you have to climb over, but no one would say anything if you took a bicycle through although technically a no no. Starts at the side of someone's garden here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, public footpath near me that I hadn't tried before, I think part of the return loop was bridleway, but that was a concrete road. If you look at the county maps for the mid 1700s some of the footpaths are shown in the same way as roads that are now carriageway so I suspect some just stopped having cart use and there was no evidence when they started categorising them in the 50s and 60s.

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Shame. I once went to a ‘Young Farmers’ doo and proffered the idea it was ridiculous for an individual or company to say a bit of the planet belonged to them and them alone. “Who said it’s yours? Way back in the mists of time someone said this is mine, you can’t share in it, get off?” Madness.... well they thought I was mad 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yen_powell Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Just been out to my local park, well actually I started on some side roads to the town centre, got lost, thought I had found a new place and then discovered it was in fact the far end of my local park that I'd never been to before. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to get away from the dopey email answering and drawing for a little while or go insane. Just been sent a load of consultant designed traffic calming work to make comments on after my last batch made them change everything. Now I can tear it apart with a refreshed hatred. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Later on I will imagine them as highly detailed plans and produce highway works estimates based on them which developers have to cough up in advance before they get their planning permission. It's legalised blackmail and very satisfying when you get money for the local streetscape from the people making loads of profit. This is the work we haven't been doing since January last year on paper because it's being taken over by another group, but so far they have done about 5 out of 50 or so that have come up. I've also been dealing with a hissy fit between a mason, his supervisor, an electrical contractor and a white lining contractor. I have reminded the liner I helped him out yesterday with technical advice, the electrical contractor that I've told them how to get off of parking tickets on many occasions and the mason's supervisor that I have to agree his invoices before they get paid and I can leave them for 28 days before even glancing at them. So now I'm getting a zebra crossing moved over the weekend/Monday when the school is shut and not when the little horrors are rushing about in all directions being horrible twats. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
