Those of you who read Private Eye will be familiar with the ‘Rotten Boroughs’ feature which highlights incompetent council decisions the length and breadth of the UK.

This week’s column features several column inches devoted to the whole sorry saga of Go Ape at Rivington under the headline ‘Planet of the Apes’.

Chorley Council comes in for a hard time, with Donna Hall singled-out for her risible decision to retrospectively reduce the size of the site from 3.2 hectares to less than 1 hectare on the ground that most of the development is off the ground.

Get the magazine, it’s a great read and the article about Go Ape is short, pithy and very funny.
