Why don’t you ask Go-ape ,United Utilities and chorley’s Arboricultural officer whether they had difficulty seeing, when they said on the planning application that three trees would be removed,
but some-how allowed that figure to rise to twenty-one.
Now thats what I call an underestimate, or was it conveniant to estimate three so that it would have a better chance of getting through planning
how on earth does the person who sent the letter supporting go ape think the “youth of today” will afford to visit the site regularly enough to give them something to do when the cost of participating will be way out of their reach? Also,when are these people going to realise that the siting of the course is the problem, not the idea (though the tree felling hasn’t helped their popularity has it??).
Kelly you asked “how on earth does the person who sent the letter supporting go ape think the “youth of today” will afford to visit the site regularly enough to give them something to do when the cost of participating will be way out of their reach?
Well in answer to that question all I can say is that is a lot less costly for youth to pay £20 for the experience of Go Ape than it is to purchase and maintain a horse by way of an outdoor activity!
Dear Jane
In answer to your answer….Why would you have to purchase a horse to ride? The 3.5 million who ride every weekend don’t all have horses. They go to riding schools and pay between £6 and £10 for the “privilege” like I used to before I started work, or helped out with other peoples in exchange for rides. I loaned my horse for 10 years before I could afford it myself. If you walk round Rivington you will no doubt come across the local riding school who go into the area approx 4 times a day every day at an affordable cost. Also, it costs less to keep a horse than smoke 20 a day. No so much when you look at it that way?
