Planning permission for the closure of Dungeon Lane has been finally approved.
This was granted some years ago but had been delayed by a legal objection by a utilities company.Shortly before the planning permission lapsed an agreement with the objector was found.
The planning permission includes the fencing of Hale Heath.An area bound by Hale Road to the North,the airfield to the West,Baileys Lane to the South and a new public Bridleway adjacent to the stables on the western edge of Hale Village will now be completely fenced by 2m high security fencing and all public access denied.
As Dungeon lane will now be closed to both vehicles and pedestrians Baileys Lane will be reopened as it will be the only access to the tower and farms to the south of the runway.
In addition a large area between Baileys Lane and the river will be fenced with a slightly lower gauge of fence thus achieving Peel Holding`s long aim of denying public access to Oglet Shore.
An action group,SOS:Save Oglet Shore FB group,has been formed in response to this and a protest walk along Dungeon Lane to the shore is scheduled for 1200 Sat 14/7/18.
Access to the general aviation area is unchanged as the fencing of Dungeon will be south of the crash gate.
As nearly all green space on the Speke Estate has now been built upon and there is a planning application for the development of the area between Speke and Hale it would be no surprise that local citizens may take a dim view of being denied access to the river.
