The post you are reporting:
Paul, what have I done for the last twenty years to help Western Heights?
If I was list - and I am not in the game of self-congratulations, then it would take up a whole page on the web site. Suffice to say that one can do a lot for ones town without continually harking on about it.
The continual point that I do keep on making is that the Western Heights is, at the moment, protected, once that protection is violated, then we will lose it ... much the same as we lost the £20m Community Hospital - which, incidentally I won through the legal system. Are we now going to lose Western Heights in order for what?
Yesterday was the London Marathon; thousands of caring souls ran to raise money for various charities. What has grabbed the headlines - a woman has died after taking part. Next, there will be calls to ban the Marathon, water it down whatever.
Even if the 'treasured' parts of Western Heights are 'supposedly' saved, such as the Drop Redoubt, once the first fatal accident happens there, there will be calls to fill it in - possibly with the towns rubbish as was envisaged years ago. This will be 'sold' as positive way out of an expensive 'millstone' around taxpayers' necks.
Wake Up
