Wonder Boy Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Driving past last night I noticed 2 gaping holes in the wall towards the lodge lane junction. There seems to be always something amiss with this wall. Is it stone thieves, vandals, a badly built wall or just a car crash hotspot? I know further round along blackbrook road onto school green lane some old paving slabs were pinched a couple of months ago:rant:
algy Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Could well be thieves. A stretch of paving was taken from Common Lane off Ringinlow Road last year. Slabs have been taken from the paths next to dams in the Porter Valley. If you go up Ringinglow Road beyond Common Lane you'll see the shaped capping stones on the wall on the right have a blue line painted on them. It's not vandals, it's the official suggested way of stopping them being stolen by defacing them. What a world!
Ousetunes Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 There was a nasty car crash at the junction of Blackbrook Road, Redmires Road and Lodge Lane a couple of years back which resulted in both vehicles smashing into the wall of the golf course. A young lady, travelling from Blackbrook Road at speed failed to notice the Give Way signs (there be two, one forewarning and the sign itself) and smashed into a taxi travelling city bound on Redmires Road.
irenewilde Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Funny, I noticed how these holes seemed to be on the increase yesterday. At least one of them (not the one on the corner) seems to have a lot of car debris mixed in with it, so I'm guessing that was an accident too, though I'm at a loss to know how they keep hitting the wall on what is a long, gentle bend. Don't know if any of the others are anything to do with our friends up the road at Redmires Lane......

What do we have to do to stop people taking what isn't rightfully theirs? I remember the paving slabs on Common Lane being stolen last year then the cheekie so and sos came back and took another lot!
goldenfleece Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 stone slabs have also been stolen from the wall of the actual lower dam at redmires...huge section has been nicked!!!!!
Ousetunes Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 stone slabs have also been stolen from the wall of the actual lower dam at redmires...huge section has been nicked!!!!! Perchance the wall breaks, the water's first target will be the gypsy camp half a mile down Redmires Road. Quite obviously, some of the loonies (based at the site) stealing these stones haven't quite worked that one out yet.
DUFFEMS Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Common Lane is off Ringinglow Road, almost opposite the old Fire Station ( now a pile of rubble!).
Beautyx Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Watch out for a white open up truck thing with blue bits on. Everyone who lives in Lodge Moor, Fulwood will know what I mean when I say it's the one that careers about at manic speeds, cruises up and down the roads looking for stuff to take, driver and passengers swears at you when they ask if they can take stuff off your drive and you say no (I'm amazed they asked!), and solves the problem of double yellow lines outside Costcutter on Barncliffe Road by just parking on the pavement. Law unto themselves.
