I made a written objection to Chorley Borough Council regarding Go Ape in Lever Park on the grounds that it would adversely affect the wildlife, the tranquility of the woods and the inappropriateness of the location to no avail. I have walked my dogs along the reservoir for nearly 10 years and while I am not resistant to change, I do not feel that the Go Ape activity will enhance or benefit the area. I have only just found out about this website and am sorry I missed the meeting on the 29th but I will be at all future meetings.

You will find that Chorley Borough Council have a great deal to answer to, firstly why did they not comply with guidelines set out in the Communities and Local Goverment document regarding the use of Delegated Powers and secondly why did they go against their own policies set out in 2003 (Chorley local plan review Heritage).
Also why were the residents of Rivington and surrounding area’s not informed of the planned proposal, instead they put up isolated notice’s stating it has not been possible to notify all the nearby residents. (WHY?)
