I received a Newsletter today from the Save Our Sleaford Group (SOS). The group is welcome and good luck to them. It is all part of todays society of communications through Social networking and other means.
It reminds me a bit of the FABS Group (For a Better Sleaford) that formed a year or two ago. Saving the recreation ground from development is one of its stated aims - hence the comparison to FABS.
However there are one or two misquotes which need to be put right: "Sleaford Town Council support our campaign against the closure of the crossing and have now decided not to sell any of the Rec for the new road." Just to put the record straight: the Town Council has never supported the the Rec road with its associated loss of trees (about 20 to over 100 with the latest somewhere just under 50) in the past few years. On August 24th it reaffirmed the decision of late 2008. The Station Gate is a matter for Highways and Network Rail.
The Station Gate cannot practically be closed if there isn't a road through the Rec. The only way that could be realised I supposen (just) is if a bridge for traffic and pedestrians were built.
Even then some might quite rightly argue that it is not the same thing.
