Redhaed's Landing
Redhead's Landing.........(cont.)
I have received a number of messages of support for the stand that I and a few others have taken over the indiscriminate locking if the gates. Indeed, one gentleman travelled all the way from Tony Blair's constituency, Sedsgefield, to come and see me at work in South Shields to relay his experiences of photographing ships for the World Ship Society from the landing. I have also received a mail from David Miliband's staff indicating that increasing pressure is being brought to bear upon our Council who tried to wash their hands of the affair when they stated that they don't own the land and therefore are not responsible for it's upkeep. However, they are being reminded that as the planning authority they are responsible for enforcing the decisions that they took when giving planning permission for the erecting of the gates. That is, they must ensure that the pedestrian gate is kept open at all times for public access.
The gate has been open for the last three days!
