Just a follow up on the last post.
(Actually, 'the last post' seems singularly apposite for Sandwell Valley as Sandwell MDC is systematically destroying it)
As expected, another woven topped fence is being created after first chopping down all of the mature hedgerows.
This is another instance of Sandwell destroying something of natural beauty in exchange for a pointless man-made mess, at a time when non-essential spending of any sort should be being avoided.
One useful byproduct though is that there is now another clear line of sight of the M5 - M6 motorway link. Visitors to the Sandwell Country Park (as Sandwell MBC like to call it) can, therefore, appreciate this additional vista which Sandwell has opened up. It ranks equally, for sheer beauty, alongside the view from the opposite side of the motorway, which Sandwell has created by chopping all of the hedgerows, alongside the motorway, down to about 4 feet.
And, but a stone's throw away, there is a fine and unobstructed view of an electicity sub-station (see my post 30. 01.10). This was, until last year, shrouded by trees and mature hedges, but was lovingly brought into the open, when Sandwell chopped down practically all of them.
