Hey, Does anybody know if the construction of the Stratton Bank roof is still going ahead?. Haven't heard anything on the subject for a good 2 months. Last I heard was that they had drilled into the bank to see what was underneath it and they said an update of what will happen next will be announced the following week. But nothing has been said since!. I'm thinking maybe they have had the usual problems with planning permission? or maybe they have knocked it on the head seeing that it is now likely we will be staying in League 1 and not moving up to the Championship. Anyone have any news? Cheers

From the last Trust meeting, we've had 2 survey's, one to make sure that there is nothing under the SB to stop us putting a roof up (there isn't), and we've recently had another survey so find out about the groundwork costs. Once we receive details about that, we should have an estimate how much this is all going to cost, even though it will have to go out to tender.
We've still got to finalise the plans to go and get planning permission from the council for the roof.
We have certainly not 'knocked it on the head'. Unfortunately it all takes time.

There's probably evidence of some stone age settlement or a rare species of earthworm that will render the entire CG to be closed and we'll end up ground sharing with the 82ers

They are the bane of my bloody life - and they are not even that rare in this country! |

Seconded
Id also add bats, reptiles, native crayfish, dormouse, water voles, slow worms, badgers, ground nesting birds, migrating birds..... The list goes on. Can't imagine many are living under the SB though.

My guess would be that under the Bank, would be a load of railway clinker, that acts as hardcore....

In the late 70's , i was a tyre fitter for NTS on Marshgate. Spent many a time repairing tyres of the loading shovels that were loading "clinker" from the graveyard. Roughly where Sainsburys at Mannington is now. Sorry for the ramblings but "clinker" was used for building blocks and the firm that did the extraction was from Chesterfield,Colas. For a decent hardcore,go for a type 1 or scalpings.(blown granite) |

Where the clinker mountain was that you mention, legend had it that Brunel's original Broad Gauge locos, were indeed laying at rest in their graveyard. Sadly when it was cleared in the late 80's, there was nothing. |
