- MARTIN 3 COUNCILORS & 5 OTHER PEOPLEHAVE SAID YOU DIDNT LIKE THE BOLLARDSOUT SIDE WILLOW STORES THESE WEREPUT IN PLACE AFTER A CAR DROVE INTOTHE WASTE BIN OUTSIDE THE SHOP &NEARLY KILLED A DOG PLUS DAMAGE TOOUT SHOP QUESTION WAS IT REALLY YOU &IF SO WHY DID YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT THISSAFTY ISSUE TO THE PLANINIG OFFICEFORCING ME TO REMOVE THE SAFTYBOLLARDS PROTECTING MY CUSTOMERSAt the weekend whilst away, I received the above Facebook message from Willow Stores OakhamBefore I went away I photographed the new concrete bollards outside the store highlightingthe reason for the installation on a previous blogpost.At no point until now did I say I did not like theconcrete bollards and I most certainly did notraise a complaint with Rutland County CountyCouncils Planning Officer.The Bollards have now been removed becauseRutland County Councils Planning Officers have nothing better to do.The bollards have been replaced with CherryTrees, The owner of Willow Stores has beentold planning permission would be requiredfor bollards on a commercial property boundarybut not if it was a residential propertyTrees do not need planning permission.As for the Councillor involved I think they stink!The other problem here is the council some yearsago removed the public footpath to create a parking bay.It does not surprise me a complaint was received because many members of the publicwould assume the pavement they use every dayis public, when it is actually private and their stupidcouncil dug up the public footpath for the benefitof motorists.
