Pollack Park under fire yet again
Jun 11th, 2009 by philjay
Friends of Lever Park will be aware of the ongoing situation at Pollack Park Glasgow. Glasgow C C seem to be behaving in a manner somewhat similar to our very own Chorley B C , in so much as they have a care to ignore lawful and legal constraints and continue with plans to allow GoApe to develope a site in an area, as equally protected as our own Lever Park. Whilst we can only standby and watch the area deteriorate as UU continue to turn a blind eye to GoApe and the constant abuse of their planning permission, hopefully SPP will be watching and taking stock of what may befall them, should the colluders up there succeed as they have down here. We must therefore continue to expose all GoApes indiscretions as they occur, in order to inform SPP. They watch this site regularly
As a footnote, I cannot believe that a company as serious about providing enjoyment and ‘education’ about the woodland canopy, can allow some a###hole to excavate three 1ft dia x 2.5ft deep holes at the landing zone of a zip wire, and leave unattended till the day after. The fact that there was no accident is a stroke of good luck. I ask, who instructed the work to be carried out? Do they have a method statement in place or indeed a H&S Policy detailing risk assessment? I understood GoApe to be a professional outfit, I suggest they are no better than cowboy builders who continue to flaunt rules and regulations that other people have to abide by, and if not face prosecution, and finally, for Gods sake, leave re-building of the stone wall to professionals, your attempts at repair only make it unstable and therefore more dangerous.
