treebloke Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Did Hungerford Lane today and it was blocked by a tractor near the farm yard. Farmer said it had broke down, he had the flu and his brother was out. I could smell it all the way back to the main road. Anyone drove this over xmas.

Ian M Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 (edited) when i last drove this the day after we did that winch challenge in broseley last month, as we approached the farm end, the farmer came out hurling abuse at us, and telling us rudely to leave. i also remember reading something afterwards on way-finder, that the farmer had an argument with some other laners, saying that the council was giving him greif about the mud on the road at the end of there! So in my opinion i would say he is deliberatly blocking it! Edited December 31, 2007 by GBMUD Removal of foul language Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian M Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 just found this on wayfinder, this is going back to april 06 but: Farmer at the northern end is getting grief off the CC about mud on the road so he's not happy with 4x4's dropping mud he gets blamed for! We're trying to sort something with the CC to stop this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treebloke Posted December 31, 2007 Author Share Posted December 31, 2007 Shrops rights of way are gonna give him some stone to stop him moaning providing he lays it himself. To be fair his drive way/yard was quite clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEANO3528 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Farmer at the northern end is getting grief off the CC about mud on the road so he's not happy with 4x4's dropping mud he gets blamed for! Blimey, fancy that! A farmer getting blamed for making a mess of something that 4x4's did. Now that's a turn around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mortus Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I'm completely on the farmers side. being one myself. i can see how irritating it must be having the council on your back... i mean, we have people ask us to clean mud off the road when our cows walk down it, if you actually knew your law, you'd realise that cows are higher up on the road priority list. so we don't have to clean up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
