At the Public Inquiry, the Inspector had slammed her hand down on my evidence bundle and asked if it was mine. I replied in the affirmative. She then asked if I had written it. I again replied that I had. She then said she knew what was in it, right?I replied that as it was such a large bundle, I simply wished to draw her attention to a particular part of it.
Now, it can be seen that despite her confidence, she had not read it correctly or digested its contents because, in Para 66 of her report, she accepts that the route between W – C appears to be owned by Mrs Barnard as a residual part of the Manor. She goes on to say that she has taken no part in the proceedings relating to this Order.
That would have been difficult as I clearly stated on page 26 of my Statement of Case that Mrs Barnard had died during the latter part of the 1990s. She was the Lord of the Manor of Broxhead after the death of her husband, the late Mr G. A. McAndrew, whose family had owned the Headley Park Estate, including Headley Wood Farm, for 60 years. Mrs Barnard’s letter, written in her own hand, expressed her dismay at the illegal enclosure of Broxhead Common by the next owner, Siegmund Meyers and the continuance of it by the present owner, Mr Peter Whitfield.
Once again, my evidence has been passed over and ignored.
Next time: my notes continue
It’s vitally important that riders know and maintain their Rights of Way.
If we don’t know and maintain our Rights of Way, we will have less and less land on which to ride.
The problem is knowing our Rights of Way!
