About highpeakman

Profile Information

  • Location
    Close to the GN & GE Joint Rly north of Lincoln.
  • Interests
    Very broad interests but perhaps focused more on BR Midland - Derbyshire, Notts and Lincs areas in late 50s/60s - Wirksworth, Buxton, Cromford & High Peak in particular - Also GC Main Line around Nottingham + any Industrial railways (NG and Standard). Old enough to remember C&HP in working order, Trent Junction Station, Derby Works in full flow, Windcutters at Nottm Victoria, prototype Deltic at Grantham and a few other things I miss.A believer in modelling to capture the feeling/atmosphere of the time/prototype even if some details are not correct and of the right to run what I like.

    Just had a leaflet posted through the door to say a developer is seeking planning to build 50 new houses in our small village. A very significant expansion. Not in the county plan so why? No, I'm not a Nimby but why?

      I assume that CBC is the old Mid Beds outfit - only the name has changed not the management! All I can say is Thank goodness I moved! You have put my original comment into perspective!

      It's worse than you realise...CBC is the old Mid Beds District Council and South Beds DC joined together to create a Unitary authority, so the smallest shire county has 3 Unitaries (CBC, Beds Borough & Luton)with Beds Borough having an elected Mayor, so we have the equivalant of 4 Chief Exec's....got any space where you are.....

      There must be space as it seems all villages in Lincs are set to grow by 10-15% over the next few years. There must be room for more developers!
