Pannal Blogger is back

I have changed my computer from an Apple Mac to Windows and it has been such a problem. Taken months to set up and now hopefully all is well. Been to Scotland and up and down to visit the children. Now enjoying this great weather and back to golf. I HAVE SUFFERED FROM VERTIGO FOR OVER TWENTY YEARS BUT HAD THE WORST ATTACK I HAVE EVER HAD. (Not meant to be in capitals but it does fit in with my mood). Still not right but hopefully getting there. Played golf on Tuesday for the first time for awhile and enjoyed it. Also concerned with what is happening in Pannal. A big decision re the Dunlopillo site and the Ward Bros plan to build houses there. I would have liked to have had a Hornbeam style business park there but I do fear the Ward Bros will get their way and it will be a lot of housing with small units for sales etc. I despair of HBC. A member of the PVS said that at this rate there will be nothing left in Pannal to protect and I am inclined to agree with him. I am trying to have the Art Deco building (old Bintex factory) listed as it was used for radar testing during the 1939-45 War. Have sent off photographs and all details so will just have to wait and see as it is in the hands of English Heritage now.  Don't know how the village is divided some will want a Business Park whilst others housing and a number simply do not care as they are newcomers and not all that bothered about history. There is an online petition by Mr and Mrs Boden who are objecting to the housing and also the road from the A61 through green belt. Shall continue later hopefully in a much lighter vein.
