The post you are reporting:
Jeff, it is rather confusing now.
You say: "the same as the existing ugly, concrete houses already there".
These houses are not ugly by any means, but were constructed in a period when the Heights were not a Scheduled Ancient Monument, and so do not constitute a precedent.
To build there now, would do so, as it would be a precedent to build in the SAM area.
The whole campaign to save the Heights would be lost out of principle, as more houses would be built as time went by, using the precedent of already having built on an SAM (should the current planning application be approved), which is in fact the CGI proposal.
CGI are proposing to make a precedent to build on a Scheduled National Monument for DDC to follow up on in the future whenever.
Again you say: "reporting vandal damage etc."
I tried bringing to attention very bad words sprawled on the WWII Farthingloe cement sites, and have been told by Paul that I was trespassing! There was no sign indicating a private footpath, and no-one who I met there told me I was trespassing, but instead said "hello".
This is not encouraging, it doesn't encourage people to bring to attention vandalism in some form or another, by saying: "you were trespassing". That's like turning it all around and saying now that I should feel guilty!
Was I trespassing or not? I'd like to know at this point.
What made me ring the alarm bells was that the wording I saw incites murder of specific people. This must be wrong, and surely, unless this is sorted out, there is no moral right to promote a WW memorial, if the concerned people can't even get the most obnoxious of incitements down from an already existing WW site! Or not?
So perhaps we should start with removing offensive language from historic sites, such as the one at Farthingloe, doing what can be easily done without any great expense, before we can deem ourselves fit and worthy to run a WW memorial!
Finally, I had been of the opinion that the Western Heights residents were promoting discussions to see what can be done now to propose enhancement of the Heights in a basic manner. Now it seems now that, with WHPS, everything has dropped back to the CGI proposal as the centre of discussion and as a pre-condition to any form of agreement.
