AFTER waiting some years for the council to give permission, the Acorn Rugby Club erected a fence around the club perimeter.
This fence has made a tremendous difference for both the club and local children. Since it has been up, no cars have been driven on to the playing area and burnt out. No rubbish has been dumped by passing fly tippers.
Dogs have not wandered on the field to perform their usual functions. No longer have local motorcyclists used the top bank for practising wheelies.
The local kids who do like to practise their rugby and football have had a safe environment to play in.
Everybody was happy. Now the Gestapo-like fist of the Lib Dems has come thumping down and insisted that the fence be moved because it is over the perimeter.
Think positive. The club is now responsible for those extra yards of grass, reducing council costs.
