£75,000 finale for heritage grants

Well where should they put the money then.

I'm pretty sure i says "awarded to conserve buildings in the West Wight and improve access to the countryside"

Heck if it gives the the people over in Yarmouth something to be happy about let them have it. Never found out about those bridge repairs, couldn't of been too bad we didn't have anyone on here complaining.

Maybe they can fix the sea wall .. god knows what there doing with that

You gotta race me for that firewood, as for the Thorley voices just go down any high street over here and you can here all the moaning you can take from old folk.

So, 75 Grand, to put a new path in to a privately owned woodland???

Building new steps at Shippards Chine? Lovely, next time I need firewood for my beach barbecue I know where to look...

Conservation of the church clock at Yarmouth? Surely that would be down to who owns the church?

Conservation of the cemetery would be down to relatives to keep the graves tidy??

And the Thorley Voices,, Why just Thorley? There are plenty of olde folk on the island with interesting tales to tell, get them all to write their memoirs and send them in, cost of a stamp each.

So, just to recap, 75 Grand, which could be spent on research in to illnesses, is to be spent on the West Wight for no real reason.

Superb.
