To summarise my view, in order to preserve the Scheduled Monument, the most important work in need of doing is prevention of further damage to the brickwork, and this involves removing the roots of trees and bushes from the walls, and resetting lose bricks.
It cannot be done on a voluntary scale, it must be paid work, as also anything to do with removing graffiti and repainting metal.
Such tasks as those mentioned here require much more than just a few hours on the odd weekend.
And the health and safety regulations need be in place, with qualified personnel directing the works.
We'll have to wait now for funding to come along. The topic of funding for the Scheduled Ancient Monument has been brought up and presented to the appropriate office. Much now depends on an appropriate reply.
The Scheduled Ancient Monument on Western Heights is at the attention of an office in London.
