17 January (Part 2) - All change in Stable Lane
Could
there have been a falling out? When
the illegal blocking of Bridleway
250 first came to light researching it revealed that the Woodland Trust had
contracted Mount Mascal Stables to issue their permits for riding in the woods.
Mick Barnbrook wrote to the Woodland Trust and their reply was not exactly
helpful. The only member of the Trust that I know of did not renew her
membership when she saw how the Trust was supporting the Stables.
Now the Trust is advertising for a new administrator for their permit scheme. This
advert appeared on Page 16 of this week’s News Shopper.
I reported last week that Mick Barnbrook was not going to the Magistrates’ Court
about the bridleway blockage and had in effect given up on the case.
Since then there have been further developments which have reawakened his
interest. The case won’t go to court this month but the issue is not yet dead.
I know of no connection between the known recent developments and the
advertisement. Probably there isn’t one.
