Oh my god. I wasn't aware of that, and it's in my own county. I also note the irony of disturbing a prehistoric site (albeit not a ceremonial one) to make room for a garden of remembrance - interesting how ritual treatment of death has developed over the millenia!

I totally agree about the nonsensical nature of the "decision making process" - as you say, why have national and international heritage bodies if a tin-pot local council can do what it likes anyway?


Hereford local council got hauled up in front of the judge over the road built over the Rotherwas Ribbon, (and found guilty) sadly the road had already been built. But if you read the planning application that went through on the Bonds Garage development, the list of 'objections' was a helluva lot longer than the paltry few in favour.
