Evidence of damage to the Twelve Apostles

Welcome indeed Firstfox!

The more peeps that cause hassle & write letters etc about this sorta stuff the better!!!

If I remember rightly, when Heritage Action contacted the councils about summat else, they fell back on the 'Well, what can we do - the moor's a big place and we can't keep a 24 hr watch on it all' kind of argument. We've periodically been discussing some sort of general campaign about Ilkley/Rombald's etc.

Keep us informed & we'll keep you informed....

love

Thanks for the advice guys. Gonna contact the various town councils and just sent a heritage alert.

Maybe I'm just a naive wiltshire lad, but personally i cannot believe they'd let ilkley moor's flagship site get destroyed like this. If I get no action from the town councils etc, and if no one is responsible for it, I am definitely of the mind to think 'bugger it' and head off up there with a bag of cement, some spades and dig it up and re-seat the stones and fix up some of the damage.

if the stones arent in their original positions anyway, it wont matter. Just so long as a stone circle remains up there for another generation to enjoy.

I'll go the council route first....then see if I've got the energy left for the "buggrit" route...

:-D
