BW doesn't understand the problem, either. I think they are giving the council misleading and ill-informed advice. Steve previously posted this link: http://www.publicaccess.manchester.gov.uk/associateddocs/selecteddoc.aspx?089880-OCO-0001.pdf At the end of the document there are the addresses from which the 48 comments received have been sent. I have today found out about FIVE objections that have been sent in that are not listed (Steve's being one of them!). There may well be more. Does this mean that the objections not listed haven't been read or considered? If you sent a comment in, please check and see if your address is on the list. -- Martin Clark Pennine Waterways Website http://www.penninewaterways.co.uk Mine is on the list John nb Charlotte Rose [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
