Lynne in answer to your reply to leatash. If there were not so many immigrants there woul be no need for more construction workers to construct all the infrastructure. We now need more of everything, but not if the demand was not there. There has to be a point in time where something has to give.

I wouldn't have thought it would be anywhere near Coryton Close. It runs along the Bartons and then probably somewhere to the lower side of Platation Terrace. So that is where (maybe) it runs through private property. If that is the case, I wouldn't have thought it would be that difficult to find a path to the Wheel in the Brunswick.

This has been going on for years prisoners help set up the Gloustershire county show and the three counties show so why not get them out in the fields we did it with POW's during the war so why not with prisoners of today we could have chain gangs like in the US.
