Remedial works to zip wire 3
Apr 6th, 2009 by philjay
The French contractors were on site this evening carrying out alterations to the platform of zip wire 3. We believe that they may be altering the height, in which case this could have a detrimental effect on the Oak tree at the other end. The wire is already resting on a skid to the underside of the bough, if the angle is increased the wire pressure will be even greater. Please keep a look out for any attempted work outside there remit. Just to note that it would appear that an accident that warrants scrambling of the air ambulance last week has not warranted coverage in our local newspapers. Who picked up the tab for the chopper?
Just a note, If this was an accident connected with Go-Ape were the air ambulance was scrambled. Would this not be a case for the ‘Health and Safety exc’ to investigate considering this being a new attraction with public involvement???
I Would have thought they would have had to put in another planning application to due any further work,as it isn`t in the original one. Will Chorley council act or will they turn a blind eye?This illegal activity should be closed down,
Sorry, (due) should say do.
