Probably some builder who had his Planning Application turned down by SODC. lol Typo corrected Edited by: Ron Brind at:15th January 2015 14:21 |

I remember years ago a farmer in the village had his planning permission turned down by Calderdale Council. He filled his muck spreader full of slurry and ran amock through the whole area for miles. Not quite as serious as fire but you can imagine the smell and the mess. Edited by: rustyruth at:15th January 2015 14:18 |

Let's wait and see what the reason is for all this mayhem and damage. You can bet it will be something most of us could have dealt with without resorting to this kind of action. |
