  I'm sorry that came across as insulting Paul, it wasn't meant to be, I know the hard work that you guys put in.
  
  I walked up and down the Grand-Shaft a couple of weeks ago and also out at the top.
  
  To see the state it was in - certainly more was needed before it could be opened to the public, than just clearing the rubbish that littered the stairways and cutting back the grass and clearing the litter outside the shaft itself.
  
  I appreciate the grand-shaft is a listed building, but doesn't looking after it, mean more than the above ? what about pointing on the brick-work ? painting the railings and doors ? does th fabric of the building not need attention too ?
  
  I also understand that the bricks of the shaft are old and more porous and the mortar/cement holding the bricks together is different to today's cement, therefore care has to exercised, as damage can be caused.
  
  Once again Paul, I did not intend to make it sound like I was insulting the WHPS people who work so hard around the Western Heights every month, to keep it looking good; I've always supported what you do there.
