Castle Hill's future; Mailbag.I WROTE a few months ago concerning the development of Castle Hill and after reading the Examiner was delighted to see that it might not be as perilous as I had thought. I sincerely hope that the suggestions made regarding the future of Castle Hill are dealt with seriously. The site ownership should be taken back on behalf of the people of Huddersfield and its development done for their benefit, removing any ability for recklessness Rashness; heedlessness; wanton conduct. The state of mind accompanying an act that either pays no regard to its probably or possibly injurious consequences, or which, though foreseeing such consequences, persists in spite of such knowledge. if left in the hands of potential private developers. Without doubt a visitor centre with educational facilities and vantage points to take in the superb views must be the only sensible option - maybe not a money-spinner but certainly one with integrity. At this time, it appears that decisions made by one party or another to protect or remove public facilities are constantly contested and contradicted. Let's hope that now there appears to be serious discussion about the future of this celebrated landmark, it does not become another casualty of internal political feuding and we squander squan·der tr.v. squan·dered, squan·der·ing, squan·ders 1. To spend wastefully or extravagantly; dissipate. See Synonyms at waste. 2. this opportunity. DENNIS LUMB LUMB Laughing Under My Breath Almondbury |
