Electerrific Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Speechless. But just as well- if I said anything about the 'travellers' (those law-abiding and honest folk who always respect us taxpayers and are a respectful, contributing and inclusive part of society), it would be deemed un-PC! http://news.sky.com/story/1129456/offas-dyke-part-of-monument-bulldozed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eccentric Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 People don’t care about history, as it has no economic value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WallBuilder Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Why was it bulldozed and if people saw it happening why didn't anybody get the police involved then.. If it is badly damaged then the costs to rebuild it are going to be high and so any punishment meted out should reflect the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The landowner said he had no idea what it was and that he wanted to build some stables in the location according to the telegraph. I think he should be made to put right the damage as you say.

natjack Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 He'd lived in the area for years and never heard of Offa's Dyke? This is what happens when people are allowed to leave school at 12 and nothing much is ever said or done about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something like that would not have been left out of the deeds, and you certainly wouldn't be able to get planning permission to build anything so close to it.

Parvo Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I thought that if he was putting up stables he should have had to apply for planning permission then he would have found out that he was planning to destroy an ancient monument looks like he broke more laws there then Should get maximum for that as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megalithic Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Nobody will be prosecuted for it. Don't be so sure, the guy who damaged one of the Priddy henges was prosecuted and made to put right the damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
