Slap a gate up at Airman's Corner and you can charge everyone going anywhere near the place. No more happy moments stolen parking on a verge down the road, running back and squashing your face against the links of the fence. Might not be like that. But frankly it wouldn't surprise me hugely. Tell your cynic friend yeah, she’s right, there’ll be no more “happy moments stolen parking on a verge down the road, running back and squashing your face against the links of the fence” as the two things that have been made very clear are (a.) cars will be banned and (b.) the big chain link fence will be removed. But but but here's a question. If you can wander round on foot at any time does that mean you can go inside the stones at any time? Anyone know? And if you can't, what would stop you? I've been wondering this for ages. With no fence, it's hard to see how they'll stop people accessing the monument on foot. And if they do, where exactly are they going to draw the line? Without a fence, at what point will you cross over into permissive/non-permissive areas? Will access only be allowed during the usual hours of opening, and again, how would that be enforced? IIRC, the original plan was to allow free access to pedestrians (but that was back when the 303 was also going to be buried, so accessing the monument on foot would presumably have been even more difficult).
