Gobbledegook

Today we see this gobbledegook at the entrance to the recreation ground near Totley Hall. Who put it there? Who is it aimed at? What does it mean? Hallam gave it as "planning gain" land when they built houses on the brown field site of the old Poly buildings. Last year they wanted to get it out from green belt protection. Residents are worried.....

Yesterday more gobbledeegook at the planning board meeting I went to on behalf of SPACE. We were all very tired after waiting 4 hours to speak. Councillors did not interrogate officers - and effectively gave their approval to the ugly lights. Although Cllr Hesketh (the Chair) seems to be on our side and is not letting it rest - so some hope yet. The same day the diggers moved in at the end of Gillfield Wood to construct the new turning circle.

I spent most of today at the computer emailing and asking questions.

Mild mizzlings

Mild on our walk this morning and the birds are very vocal. Lots of great tits now - I always think they sound like bicycle pumps but some people remember it by "tea-cher, tea-cher." Whole party of goldfinches in the trees and hedgerows on the path down to Totley Hall from Gillfield Wood.

It starts to mizzle as we cut through onto Grove Road and home.
