Works 1

Back in November I noticed the appearance of a hut, fencing and mixed mess on the edge of the Common (see reference 1). Six months on, it is all still there, but rather than a base for chainsaw volunteers, it now appears to be a base from which contractors are carrying out various maintenance works on the paths of Epsom West.

One half of one such is illustrated left and it is not at all clear to me why in these difficult times it is appropriate to spend what must be a large sum of money to widen the footpath leading up West Hill from Stamford Green, a widening at the expense, I may say, of the grass verge. Does someone who is either important or noisy live on the Green, perhaps a someone who wants better access for an invalid buggy?
