We have made it clear that we are happy to work with the Preservation Society. Indeed, I first approached them when they were first set up - and was told that my skills were not wanted. Lately, Lara gave an excellent overview of the way forward on this Forum - and it was ignored.
The Preservation Society have undertaken 12 years of hard work and before that I, and others, also undertook a lot of very hard work, including the removal of disused cars from the Grand Shaft and having the said building renovated.
This, as the Forum spokesman for the WHPS, you have dismissed and further, thrown your weight behind CGI. Yet we told you repeatedly, that their promises were primarily 'ifs' and 'maybes'.
I have suggested that we put pressure on EH to pull their finger out - saying that they need all their resources to sort out the Stonehenge bottleneck is not a valid excuse. In addition, DDC - they may plead poverty but if something comes up that they see as a good idea they will quickly find the money to pay expensive consultants to produce a report that backs their views.
Albeit, you reject this, saying that you mustn't effectively, bite the hand that feeds you.
They don't feed you, the WHPS are volunteers who in their own time do a damn good job, over which EH and DDC are using you.
From my perspective, you want to keep that status quo and let the WH slide further down the 'AT Risk' register, then it is time that others take over the job of chasing those whose ultimate responsibility WH is.
