#82013-11-27 11:13Blue route seems totally appropriate, cutting through unspoilt countryside. Why not use the 'brown site' of the old railway - there is no need for that being re-opened, just a fantasy by some people wanting their own little train set. Also Blue will affect more of the types who obsess about house prices and will object for selfish reasons, no doubt. |

#9 Re:2013-11-27 15:51:38I presume that you mean the blue route is inappropriate. The area around Slipper Hill Reservoir is beautiful as anyone who has stood there on a cold, dry winter morning will know. The water is a mirror to the blue sky and the mist in the lower valley sits like a blanket until the sun finally allows the rooftops to emerge from their slumber. In the summer, there is the gentle buzz of insects, the smell of blossom in the evenings, the thrill of the lark and the leisurely amble of the hedgehog looking for its evening snack. Does anyone who appreciates this stunning area of the countryside (labelled as 'agricultural land') want these sounds replaced by the rumble of lorries, the white noise of tyres on tarmac and the smell of diesel an petrol fumes? This is not the hobby horse of people obesessed about house prices, but it certainly is a desire to retain the beauty of an area that draws people to Pendle for reasons other than shopping! |
